Ok i promised a few people that i would post some stuff other than newbie tactics, Doughboy is the one who inspired this thread to be created today, after askin me to teach him some things.

Ok In my last section called "Just for crayola" we learned the basics of the shotgun, judging distance, engaging the enemy, how to aim, how to shoot, what kind of damage we can expect from what shots.
now we are going to learn how to use the basic skills in a more deadly fashion.

The matrix pumper.

everyone hates this. The best example i can give here is in office coming down the back way to CT spawn. Lets say your a CT aspiring to be a pump shotty master. You wait for the terrorists to start coming into CY spawn. Stand next to the wall at the stairs and face the garage door. LISTEN. when you hear footsteps relativly close not all the way on top of you but close, Jump forward, spin and face the hallway. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! -- AIM AT YOUR ENEMY!! dont just jump and shoot. AIM, fire in mid air. The shotty is dead on even in mid flight. If you know he didnt fall down, immediatly jump back the other way and shoot again. you should kill him this time.

Pros:

Your hard to hit in mid air when there are walls to block his shots on both sides.
If he tries to rush you around the corner. Hes just closing distance and that is what we want.

Cons

If you miss completely with the first shot you wont slow him down and your nevt shot wont stop him unless your aim is very good. He gets in too close when hes not wounded during your reloading cycle with an M4 or an ak or something and your dead.
A pro player will stop in the hallway and move around the corner. or wait for you to jump again, if his aim is good your still dead.

Suprise

If you know that your enemy is ducked behind a box or down below you,
Use the matrix pumper tacits and jump spin around the box, and aim for the chest or head at that range hes toast, and even if he gets off a shot, if it doesnt hit your head he wont have time to adjust his aim.

Slowing the enemy down,

Ever had those days when you just couldnt hit some poor soul when hes like 10 feet infront of you , cause hes jumping and screaming like a girl and trying to get away from you? This is how you put a stop to all that.
ok if your on terrorist side you need duelies. Light the enemy up, if you kill him you kill him, but only try to fire less than say 15 rounds, and we know with the dualies you can shoot real fast if you need to. If you can rstrafe to one side and nail him a couple times, switch weapons and immediatly jump as soon as the shell is racked or better while its racking. Fire in midair and your back into matrix pumper mode. JUMP to the side not at him.

2 reasons for using your pistol. as you all know getting shot even one time, will slow you down. well if he s trying to jump to get away from you and hes using an automatic weapon, A: hes gonna run outa ammo trying to spray you and for him to reload, B: getting shot in midair will decrease your movement rate to almost zero, making him an easy target specially if he has to reload.

Reckless Endangerment

Before we get started on this one, know that this tactic is suicide.
The object hear is to Do a head on assault with no thought of your survival only killing your opponent. Jump straight at your opponent, litterally, Crouch while your in the air, fire, stay crouched land, fire again. When you land crouched your shot will be dead on. dont miss. If you miss you will not have time to comeback from that mistake, youll be dead. If your shot in midair while crouching youll fly backwards putting you further away from your opponent, if your lucky you might get a second shot before you land.

The Pipeline

Dust2 is a good example of this in the tunnels at B side, coming from CT spawn. You want to be there before the enemy. If your engaging more than one enemy this is perfect. You can hold the tunnels by yourself. Id use a USP or something with a higher magazine capacity than a deagle for this. As they come into the tunnel strafe into it, fire a shot, immediatly jump out of the tunnel, firing a second shot if you can. If you take one down thats fine and dandy. weather you do or dont , your immediat next action should be to pull your pistol, most players if you tag them and dissapear they will chase you, finish them with your usp. then immediatly pull the shotty back out, jump back infront of the tunnel and fire again ( assuming there is more) you do this because a: your first shotty blast will damage most anyone coming through there. b: your forcing the enemy through a tighter area where you do more damage and are likely to easily hit them. c: the pistol has a faster firerate than the pump by far and if you wound them with the first blast one maybe 2 hits with the pistol and they are down. C: you buy yourself time for your friends to get there and help.


Singling out the big guy.

This is the only time you should ever be like 3rd or 4th in line. If there is an enemy on the oppossing team that just has to F*CKING go, this guy is kicking everyones ass. Step up and take him down. if you enter a room with a shit ton of terrorists like say 4 or more. and you see as your entering that one of your homies just got dropped by the big mean nasty terrorist. Do a pop shot when you enter the room, and immediatly seek cover after you have seen where the opposing team is positioned. Pay attention to what name highlighted that you shot at. If its who you want, Go for him, or her. Turn the corner, or come out from behind that box and try you damdest to kill him. If the rest of your team is in the middle of the firefight. you havea good chance of killing him. If its not him pop shot again at a different target but be fast. rinse wash and repeat. If there is no cover available. I know this is a shitty thing to do, use a teammate. If hes standing you duck. stay outa his headlvl range. If your team has them pinned down, go in there and kill them all. If your team moves in for the kill behind you then hopefully you can take over the enemies position.
A: you wound the opposing team with pop shots making it easier for your team to kill them. B: if you manage to take down your prospected target then go you.

Again like i said in the last post, this is what works for me. Hope you can find some insight, or atleast a few helpful ideas.

I challenge you in a pump battle on source. Do you accept???????????!!!!!!!!!!
