You should include things like hotkeys to get a set of weapons. It's made my gaming soooo much easier, just to start with an awp + desert eagle + kev + helm instantly.

I think the game would be a lot more fun if the AWP didn't exist, but since it's here we may as well embrace it. Would be a very different game without it, that's for sure.

If someone really wants to be good at CS/CSS my advice would be to play as many matches as possible while you're playing on a somewhat serious team and make sure that you record/review your demos after each match to see what you could have done better as an individual player. I know for me and most other people 20+ scrims is the equivalent of 1 match. Meaning that playing one match is going to be A LOT more beneficial to me as a player than just scrimming all of the time . The reason being is that a lot of people choke up in matches, there's no room for error in matches, you can easily see where you're screwing up in matches, and you will start to get more comfortable under pressure and in clutch situations than you would in a scrim where nothing is on the line but your ego.

Aiming is your best friend in CS. A player with amazing aim can single handedly take out an entire team without much problem relying solely on their aim. I suggest deathmatching a lot, sticking to a sensitive that suits you the best, and training your muscle memory using the muscle memory training target map.
The video here shows you how to train your aim and has a link to the map.

You should also watch demos of top level teams to get ideas of new positions to play and different flashing/smoking techniques. Make sure to switch up your positioning a lot to keep the other team thinking on their toes and LANS are important too, you have even more pressure on LAN than you would in a match. Overall though as long as you have fun with the game and follow the things that I mentioned and have the basics down, your game sense will come naturally along with knowledge of the maps and you will get good fast.

Still putting off the updates. I'll get around to it sometime. Another CS:S guide popped up that has quite a bit on my guide, so I've lost some interest in maintaining this one.

Will make note to update it soon.
