Crouching insanity

[socK]

This has always bothered me in CS. When you crouch, your actual view is alot lower than your body / head. From my view I can be totaly behind something, but in reality, my head is 100% over it. Now, being that humans see from their eyes, why in gods name is your view in your chest when you crouch...

 

[giant384]

accutlly if u go into to thirdperson mode the view is like at the knees

 

[Malfunction]

Yep, it's known that crouching is basically useless in CS, or at least CS:S, except for some occasions.

 

[Underhill[FIN]]

Its not useless.. U can shoot better and enemies cant see u if u r behind small boxes. :dork:

 

[giant384]

crouching dosent improve shooting they just do that so they avoid your bullets and crouching behind boxes they still c ur head sometimes

? Do you actually play CS:S? While crouched you get less recoil. Try it for yourself - shoot a clip in the wall while standing and then a clip while crouching. Compare.

 

[MoonQuake]

Well, unless the crosshair size is total crap, try different guns and look at your crosshair while standing, then crouch and see how it becomes smaller.

Should mean more accuracy.

[TopDog]

it only means more accuracy if your a whopper and unload a clip at a time.

If you just use small bursts theres no need to crouch.

What I do is when walking/running when I see an enemy I'll duck down so its harder for them to shoot me. They usually are aiming for the head/body and when I duck down they miss me most of the time. I do that RIGHT when I see an enemy.

usually when i crouch in a firefight i get shot in the noodle :*(

In my experiences in CS:S, you must play entirely different than you would in a game like Call of Duty, where crouching has many benefits. However, in CS:S, say you're in a firefight, and your opponent is trying to shoot your chest or head, well, when you go to crouch, guess what? Remember how shitty the hitboxes are in CS:S? Well, they lag a bit, so in your screen, you'll see yourself hit crouch and be crouched, while your hitboxes remain in the standing position, which means if the enemy continues shooting the same area you were in as before, where your head was previously before crouching, since you are no longer moving, he will pretty much always get a headshot.

Learn to stand and shoot, and use the strafe, stop, shoot, strafe, stop, shoot, technique. It works much better than the, jump out, crouch, go full auto technique. That one only works in very close combat.

Crouching is also a way to move slower. Say your trying to peep around a corner..When you crouch, you become smaller, less visable, and can move slower around the corner so you can see around, but not much of your body is showing...

Also, all of your hitboxes are scrunched together, so chances are any two shots fired at you by an enemy will cap your head, leaving you lifeless. Just slow walk, it works a lot better.

Crouching owns at long ranges. Let's see you try and hit me with your AK at 100 yards.

Ok, give me an IP and let's do it.

For some guns e.g. AK and M4, the first shot fired is more accurate when standing, but you do get less recoil. afaik.

I got one thing crouching has..
On Dust when your looking down the passage herse what I do all the time.
Ill get a Sg552(Not an SG550!). Ill Scope in and crouch pretty a little ways from when it starts going down creating the passage.

Thus when a CT comes I can see there feet...and hit there feet and do damage to them alot of times kill them before they even new where I was. If I didn't crouch I would have to be soo much slower and it would be pointless because they could see me.

Weird, that never happened to me. I crouch because I cant hit shit when I'm standing, I miss ALOT. When I'm crouched down I can win easier and get more points. Thats just my technique, everyone has diffrent techniques they use, and I see people using the crouching technique alot. I dont go full auto when crouching either, unless my crosshairs are on them and they are right in front of me. Long distances I'll crouch too, because thats easier for me to kill people too.

 

[swiss]

il crouch for long shots, but in close range I prefer to strafe/jump/shoot, because it makes it harder for them to hit you, with a P90 you can also keep shooting whilst hopefully ur enemy has ran his magazine out trying to hit you.

At long range, it's best to shoot single and sometimes double shots at their heads, and keep clicking when you're standing or moving. You almost always get a head shot.

Quoted for truth.

 

[HunteRKilleR]

I dunno guys, when facing an enemy at a long range with an AK, i would rather crouch and shoot him in the head with my first shot, than sidestep and stand and hit him with my fifth.

 

[Malfunction]

All I'm saying is that by crouching, you make yourself such an easy target. If the guy you're about to crouch and shoot at is firing back at you, there's are really really really good chance he's going to hit your head and kill you much easier than had you been strafing. Always make yourself a hard target.

 

[HunteRKilleR]

Yeah. I'm more of an attack guy than a defender. I focus on killing the guy first in the shortest amount of time.

Either way, you lose something. If you stand, you lose accuracy. If you crouch, you lose "defence". I think that it comes down to how You feel about it.

 

[homer9]

y doesn't walkin have the benifets that u get in 1.6 i remember that when u walk in 1.6 the crosshairs get smaller giving u better accuracy and the enemy could not hear u moving but i know when u walk in source they cant hear u moving but ur accuracy doesn't improve

 

[3ssence]

usually when i crouch in a firefight i get shot in the noodle :*(

rofl, this happens to me as well, middle of firefight, methinks why don't i crouch to avoid a few bullets and take aim, then turns out they were obviously not aiming at my head, most likely my chest, which is now where my head lol

:E

 

[Warbie]

Ok, give me an IP and let's do it.

I'll come too

There's very little need to crouch in cs:s - especially with an AK.

Cant you use Duelies and i'll grab an awp :naughty:
