Counter Strike Tactics... Created 17 years ago2006-12-09 17:03:38 UTC by Tycell

Counter Strike Tactics in analasis and mapping.

Here is a little somthing I slapped together. This is a basic level design layout of DE_Dust2 I put together. The text is mainly about game play variables in mapping (mapping for the game play, not the level).

The main perpose of this thread I have in mind is to share knowledge on Counter Strike, to inspire and to further peoples (including my own) understanding of Counter-Strike mapping. I am looking foward to seeing what people like Ant and Rabid Monkey have to say on such matters.

Edit: PS I could throw in a whole load of other CS tactics and mapping notes and pointers but I am interested to hear what other people have to say first.

For those of you who didn't know, the Mac 10 is the best weapon in CS:S - it works in any situation. Possibly best at crazy rushes. With dynamic pricing, it costs you around $600 and is available at first round.

You can apply this tactic to just about any map in the game.

You think so? I always felt that the Mac 10 was rather inacurate. I'll give it more or a run the next time I play CS:S

hehehe. heh

scraps message he was writing out before hand

Apparently ZL is being serious, I though he was joking.

/me starts a CSS server with ZL to test such theories.

Ok. Just as I recalled from mine and ZLs last Counter Strike match (when I showed him my CS_1337_Siege map, check vault) ZL is nearly immortal at CS.

If it had been a proper match with more people (and we didnt only use Long A in DE_Dust2) then I would have taken a much worse whipping.

Hes right, the Mac10 / TMP are very accurate. At least 10 times he pwned me from the other end of Long A with the mac (even when I had an AUG). He showed time and time again that not only is he very good at CS but the Mac and TMP can hold their own. The tactics he gave above are quite serious.

But anyway, this thread wasnt about actual playing tactics. It was about map editing. The tactical layout of maps and such. So lets get back on topic before about 1 million people post variations on the 1 / 2 step owning tactic.

3 ways in? sounds good. I should add another route in somehow for the site in my current map.

Highly recommended.

This is David Johnston's website who is, of course, the creator of Dust and Dust 2. He offers some good advice for designing CS maps in the "Making of..." sections.

Buy an AWP, AK-47, M4, or a deagle. Get owned. Call everyone on the server a "faggot" with your screeching voice on voice chat. Get banned by the admin. Rinse and repeat.

please kill responsibly

LOL@ ZL and Dave

Use the Mac10 + Dual Akimbo pistols and nightvision. Leave the nightvision goggles on and empty all 3 of your guns into a crowd of CTs.

Heheh..
The Mac10/tmp proves to be quite an excellent weapon, once you learn, how to fire in short bursts, while running.

ZL pwns from 2 to 5 cts, armed with colts/augs, etc per sound, with the mac at dust.

A reminder: This is a thread for MAPPING TACTICS. NOT playing tactics. Please stay on topic.

@ Ant: Thanks! I will check that site out right now.
