How To "Own" On Counter-Strike Source Clan Servers

By Claude Glenda Knapp


Hosting the online features of the Counter Strike: Source game are Counter Strike: Source servers. In order to achieve certain objectives, CSS, a first person shooter, requires team oriented, cooperated play between people who work together. A spin on the old terrorists versus counterterrorist battle is the games basic "plot summary".

Your team must receive more points or wins, in order to claim the ultimate victory playing on the Counter-Strike Source server. At the end of the battle, the number of successfully completed objectives, found on the game map, is calculated. The team that has the most points will have successfully completed the most objectives, and thus, wins the game. There will, depending on what level you are on and what type of game mode you are playing, be different "victory conditions" that must be met in addition to having a points victory. This can sometimes be a simple as defusing a planted bomb, or as difficult as getting through the entire level without the use of any cheats or modifications.

Game servers are quite advanced, allowing us to have fluid, real life, and responsive online game play. Your experience will be exactly like this when you play on a CS Source server. When games are hosted on a game server of a certain quality, there will be no loading issues, or clippiness. On a CSS server, there are heavily modified aspects of the game that really personalize the experience.

You are going to want to know, once you start playing CSS, how to not only win, but dominate. Always have a good inventory of your weapons. You must know what situations the weapons you have are best suited to and make sure that you always have enough ammunition available. Do not walk into a room, guns blazing, spraying bullets every which way. User your ammunition sparingly and make sure that you always the weapon that is best suited to your specific situation.

Remembering that this is a team game is another important piece of advice. Running off on your own to try to play hero is not a good idea. Unlike many other first person shooter games, when you "die", you do not respawn. This means that you cannot play again until the next round. There is always strength in numbers and you can be of better assistance to your teammates if you stay with them. Working together, in a lot of ways, makes certain aspects of the game a lot easier.

You will have far more success working with friends rather than going it alone when you are doing activities such as house raids. And in the event that you find yourself in a dangerous situation, being with your teammates means that you have more protection for yourself in the event of an attack. This is widely recognized as a key element of a good strategy when playing a cooperative game like CSS.
