better advice then the video mitch posted
If your team fall apart your going to lose so don't rage at people and even if you think their plan won't work don't be a pick about it. Your not going to win by yourself it is a team game not a solo event.
Remain calm this will help you in every situation one of the biggest issues for a lot of players is that they panic and then make basic mistakes because of it.
Help your teamleader they should not know everything that goes on around the map. If they do they are cheating or the people you are playing are playing poorly.
Don't brag about past teams the amount of people that will say they have been on a team yet are not on par is amazing. If you have never played in a league with said team then you were never really on it. Also most teams treat leagues very differently.
Focus on the basics. Its great you know one really cool flash gang on some map but it's too bad that you preamp the ground , constantly miss step and over extend. Most of the top players are good at a few of the basics if your not on a top team then your probably not good or you have external factors that prevent you (though there are about 5 players I would put into this category).
You probably suck. If you doubt this I can probably tell you why you suck.
Watch better players play but do not simply copy. You need to understand what they are thinking. For an example doop tends to pre aim further away from the corner then other players. This makes him very consistent (infact I think doop US one of the most consistent players in the game) however if you can unde stand his mindset he becomes easy to predict. Use better players as short cuts to improve steal the spots that they grenade.

This advice actually is pretty good, at least the part about team work and watching other players and staying calm. As far as people not being on a top team because they "suck". I do not agree with. Call me a optimist, but I believe most players have the potential to be top players, they just lack in areas. For example, I will take myself, I have terrible terrible terrible game sense like its awful and I am bad at playing defense. I think improving ones playing is not only basics, however they do help such as working on your angles and preaiming help. But I think what makes a good player is someone who can reflect upon their weaknesses and change their strategy to counter their own playing faults while maintaining team composition and their cool. For example, someone that is great with a ak at close range but is rather mediocre long range, they play cat or box room to make up for their weaknesses.
*edit* this is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree and id love to hear other opinion. -

Suck = potential
Let's take you for an example if you are really that bad then you need to stop worrying about finding th best spot for you to play and work on your basics. If a weapon limits you that much then you probably should not be using it. Or you nee to practice its is quite simple. Also it is a lot easier to get into a situation in which you can learn if you can frag.
Also if you can watch replays and understand why people do what they do you will be able to adapt (that is part of why you watch it in the first place).
Another thing is I doubt you have played people that can really aim. Out of everyone that I have played with and against there are only a few that could really aim well. -
In crossfire you aim and shoot, as for game sense you would have to be a straight moron to have poor decision making skills after playing for so long and still not getting when and when not to make a certain decision. It's aiming and shooting and being relatively smart enough to know when to do what. Most of what you said doesn't apply in crossfire.

Most people have no clue what to do. Also if you read carefully it's pretty clear I have not emphasised game sense all that much. That if you look at certain players it sure does help. Look at the sheet doop posted the players better known for their game sense did pretty well compared to come of the best fraggers out there (at the time). -
Just a couple insights gathered from different sources to help improve your team
If you think about anything you do in life regardless sports, academics , gaming it all come down to handwork dedication which puts you on a different level from other people.
Tip to be successful in anything you do -
1. Surround yourself with people who challenge you and make you want to become better.
2. Always think of success and your goal.
What people need to work on is aiming, everyone should have good aim. We all take the same motion of clicking down our left finger and swiping it around. If someone isn't looking in your direction you should always instantly killl them. Of course some people have better aim than others but if someone says "I have horrible aim but great game sense." If they had sense they would improve their aim to be sub-par. Decent aim means your confident if you have the advantage of that "one second" someone isn't looking at you or if given a better angle peak you will kill them before they can kill you.
You then take that aim and you apply that into game sense / teamwork in order to put yourself in the best possible situation to get that clean shot off.
Teamwork Notes -
Have faith in your strat-caller
The main thing to remember is, “Too many cooks spoil the broth”. You need to have faith and follow your team’s designated strat-caller and assume his orders are the right ones, even if they’re not. Your team’s strat-caller should be the most experienced player on the team in terms of league play, but not necessarily the best individual player.
This is the main reason that teams improve with age; team-mates learn to believe in their leader’s strategy calls and follow them without question.
90% of all planning is done before the match/scrim.
Each round a strat caller shouldn’t have to explain each strat to every possible variable. That is what practice is for, defining all the major strategy and tactics. In the actual game a strat caller should only need to make tweaks and adjustments to play against the current opponents.
A strat is a clear plan of action with a specific purpose of creating and maximizing opportunities to gain and/or maintain the advantage.
Once I heard a professional player say after winning a championship that “every single action of each of [their] strategy [had] specific purposes for taking the advantage. Every flash, every [grenade], down to every movement is designed and engineered to give [them] the advantage.”
Make your greatest quality become the desire to always improve.
Matches > Scrims
good luck! -

For most players their ping doesn't even matter as they are not good enough to challenge players with higher pings and they are often not smart enough to understand how to play based of pings. Infact very few players understand how to play their own ping, let alone playing off the pings of other players.
ie. Sype (who is an amazing player of FPS games) raging at Dellz because he played against Dellz like he was playing against a normal NA player. -

That's actually true. Rarely do you see anyone abusing someone else's ping let alone their own. -

I have only seen 2-3 players constantly try to abuse the pings of other players. Although pretty much every single person I consider to be good in this game will in many or in some cases abuse ping it is not always a concious choice.
Someone should reformat this information and sticky it as "5 Essential Steps to Becoming Good at CF". Though they would need to add a section on stop playing with ****ty players they only make you worse. -
How to improve:
Play with people who has been in a lot of competitions.
There are a lot of people who have been in competitions that even the worse players in this game would gain absolutely nothing from. And there are players who have played in no or very few competitions that they would learn a lot from. -
skeena have trouble killing 10ping in scrim, the tanking is 2stronk
I honestly think their is less players with good aim at 10ping then their is with bad aim
probably only a handful of players that Ive actually played with, actually are good at aiming and good players, most aren't but people think they are. -
I am new at this game but not at fps...one of the key things you need to know is the maps, dont peak, and know your team well. You should be able to play with your team and know how they all play and where they are going or what their next move is. Knowing the maps will get you farther then you ever knowwwwwwwwwwww...I suck but the more i play, and with the players i play with..the better i get. I watch , listen and learn from their strats and how the players play
i dont play often but when i do i can usually get a 5k or a 4k and clutch like no other b**ch and then other days i totally suck lol -

After reading this everything else you said was essentially invalid. That is possibly the worse advice you can give in this game. Even in other FPS games there will always be situations in which it is beneficial to peek.
I would much rather have a player with good base abilities, it is easy to learn maps it is a lot harder to have good sense and eye hand coordination.MizMittenz wrote: »Knowing the maps will get you farther then you ever knowwwwwwwwwwwwMizMittenz wrote: »i dont play often but when i do i can usually get a 5k or a 4k and clutch like no other b**ch and then other days i totally suck lol
If that is really the case then it probably has very little to do with your own ability. You are the type of player that needs to focus less on things that do not matter that much ("learning" maps) and instead work on the basics (mechanics, psychological etc). Some of the players that impressed me the most in this game were next to clueless about the maps but had strong fundementals and therefore were still able to do very well (ie. polopro when he first started playing CF he always impressed me with his attitude, and his intelligent re peeks). -
You should also learn that every player has their own way of playing and comparing the 2 players together is probably not the best thing you could do. For me it was everything i said. but what i said were just basics ... that got me started and i think the rest of what you said is instinct which is what makes good players and ****ty players.

If you do not peek you will never be very good, its that simple (its very easy to exploit players that do not peek ever). With the way CF works it is very difficult to be able to play passive against players that are good. Also I simply said you were bad (not really any sort of comparison there). -
Agreed with most points in your first post, especially on teamwork. It ties into attitude, keeping your head is (from what i've noticed about myself) the difference between sometimes making a good decision vs a bad one, but more importantly hitting a shot vs missing one. The better my attitude, the better my performance.
As for the other points, decision making overall, how you play, how much you know, most things, they may be learned over time, learned from practicing, from playing, but attitude is something you can improve immediately. -

I agree, Attitude is everything even outside this game.
