What tips would you give to beginners in CS 1.6?

Beginners often think that the main thing is to just run and shoot without aiming, but in CS 1.6 this doesn't work. It helped me to focus on recoil control and proper knife work - when I run fast, I switch to the knife, so I don't lose speed. And one more thing - always listen to your opponent's footsteps, sound plays a key role here. What do you think is more important for a beginner: learning to shoot quickly or is it better to understand tactics right away?

I had a similar situation - I decided to go back to the classics, but I noticed that the usual sources often offered outdated versions with a lot of bugs. Then I found a service where you can quickly and easily get a clean build - just went to the site, downloaded a fresh client, and immediately felt the difference in stability. By the way, if anyone wants to upgrade too or just start, I recommend checking this option - there is a convenient and clear process for any level. Just try to download through counter strike 1.6 download and evaluate for yourself.

I believe that beginners should not hurry to take heavy weapons or immediately rush into an attack. It's better to master Pistol and MP5 - with them you can calmly learn to control recoil and aiming. It is also useful to play with friends in a team to understand the basics of communication. That's how I learned, at first I lost a lot, but then I had my first successful rounds, and the excitement increased many times over.
