Counter Strike 2 is one of the titles that dominate the FPS market, always finding itself on the podium of the most popular games on Steam. However, despite its huge community—and a wealth of excellent content available online—some fans believe that improving in CS2 is only possible by practicing your aim for hours every day. Shooting games are about more than just having the reflexes to shoot; many simple factors and concepts increase your chances of winning.
With this in mind, we at UmGamer have created this comprehensive article that covers the fundamentals of movement and aiming in CS2—which beginners can use today. See how positioning and simple concepts will help you climb the ranks!
We plan to expand this series of guides with new articles in the future; however, we couldn't start with a different pillar—knowing how to position yourself and aim is non-negotiable in an FPS. But our goal, as already mentioned, is to explain the game's fundamentals without making you spend hours practicing.
Of course, a training routine will help you a lot in the long run, and we recommend that more competitive players maintain this habit. But to quickly climb out of the low ranks, you'll need to understand the following topics:
> Strafe and Counter-Strafe
> Opening a Pixel
> Crosshair Positioning
Understanding maps
> How physics affects your visualization in CS2
> Spray and Recoil
