Counter Strike 1.6 for Noobs

Counter Strike - 1.6

Here i will explain a few tips for noobs so that they can improve fast (isn't thats what a beginner wants to improve fast lol). I love playing computer games you can say that i am addict. So i play a lot of Cs online so these are few suggestions i want to give to the newbies.

Alright so first of all just concentrate on the game lol that means play with your senses like you have radar to see your teammates position so if you hear a footsteps sound from the other end then be alert because thats the enemy whos coming.
If you are just starting with Cs then don't use flash as most of the times you end up flashing many of your teammates which interns gets you bad words from them. So is the case with HE grenades if friendly fire is on.
Use the CT or Ter Models as per the Map you are playing. As each map has a different texture so you can select model which is comparatively close to the texture or background.
Weapon are you a gunner or sniper i mean which one do you like? Like a gunner need more mouse sensitivity then sniper. So you should set the sensitivity accordingly.

Now the big question is how to get headshot evertime?

To do that you need to practice a lot. OMG thats a cool tip right isn't that what you are thinking?

But there is this one thing that might help you usually make a habit to point the gun pointer on the chest of your enemy while shooting. But this one is tricky because every gun is marginally different in terms of recoil. Like with Ak-47 (my fav) you shot aim for legs if you are spraying or aim for head when you are firing 1 or 2 bullet at a time. I will be adding a separate post just for weapons , where to point etc.

I hope this helps. If you have any question do ask? and don't be shy to comment.

Gom Player ----- It Just Plays!

Gom Player

Gom Player is really a gem among media players as it has so many features. I have been using Gom player since 1 year & it's working just great. So i recommend just give Gom player a try and say goodbye to all codec & other crap like that, Because gom player can even play broken avi files (incomplete video file or broken one). Here is a screenshot.

Now lets take a little look at its features.

Codec Finder:-

GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263 and more) so you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one and direct you to a place where you can download an open source version of the codec. That way, you won't get stuck with unnecessary codecs on your system.

Play Broken AVI Files (Patented):-

AVI files can't be played if the index is broken, or if the file isn't completely downloaded. This is because the index is located at the end of the file. GOM Player's patented technology enables users to view files with broken indexes or that are still being downloaded.

Powerful Subtitle Support:-

GOM Player supports SMI, SRT, RT, SUB(with IDX) files for subtitle. You can specify margin, location, size, resolution, font and others. You can also enable shadow, view ASF files with subtitle, karaoke subtitle mode. You can even synchronize subtitle and video if there's any mismatch.

Convenient Playlist:-

If you run a video file and there is already a file with a similar name in the directory, it will be automatically added to your playlist. GOM Player has a similar playlist format as M3U, PLS, ASX and you can also include and edit different media formats on that playlist as well. It's easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist with GOM Player.

Support Different Media Types:-

Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX). You can also watch DVD-quality videos with 5.1 channel audio output.

Screen Capture:-

Screen capture allows you to take a screenshot of your video directly from GOM Player. Using the Burst Capture feature, you can take continuous screenshots up to 999 shots.

Advanced Features:-

There are an endless number of advanced features. Customize brightness, contrast and saturation. Sharpen and add noise to your video. Try the audio equalizer. Repeat a section of your video with our A-B Repeat feature. Fast forward/rewind a few seconds using left/right keys. And much more for you to discover!

What is NAT?

NAT-Network address Translation

Usually the reason why i am talking about NAT is that so many time when we connect Xbox-360, PS3 to router and try to connect to xbox live or ps network .

We get errors like your NAT settings are set to moderate change them to open and don't even have a clue wtf is NAT. And how to change that to open mode till that time you don't even know that NAT is there in your router. So first i will explain a bit about NAT.

So your router uses NAT to convert the public IP address into Private IP address. Public IP address is the ip we get from internet providers & Private IP address is the ip we use @ our home. Hence NAT converts them from public to private & vice versa. So that you can use your internet connection on all the computer & other devices like i-phones, wii, xbox, ps3.

As now you know a bit about NAT so now lets talk about how you can change that to open. To change NAT to open you just need to open some ports on your router usually for xbox just forward two ports --- 80,3074 .... & for PS3 tcp:80, 443, 5223 ...... udp:3478, 3479, 3658....

These are the port which you need to open on your router and one more thing i tested the port numbers my self they works so be sure that your Xbox as well as PS3 will work fine after you forward these ports.

NOTE: on router there is always one option to open all the ports for one device. DMZ always best to avoid that because that creates a balck hole in your seurity. So always best to open ports or trigger them but donot go for DMZ until needed.

If you have any other question just leave a comment....

How to Reset the Router

Reset

To reset the router just follow these three steps & you are done :-

So as per the figure above you will find a Red/Black button kinda small hole on the backside of the router. So Your job is to hold that for about 30-50 seconds but should not be more than 1 minute. While you are holding the reset button keep checking the power light it should blink that is the only sign that reset button is pressed properly. One last thing sometimes power light may not blink so be a bit gentle while pressing the button after all that's router man!!!
After you are done with that just unplug the power cable from the router. Wait for 10 seconds now plug power cable back again.
Now check the power light it should be steady. If power light is steady you are good to go.

That mean the reset was successful so just continue with whatever you were doning @ that time ;-)

Type of internet connections

ISP Types

Basically "ISP-Internet Service Provider" are of three types Cable, DSL, & Satellite. Now let me explain each one a bit OK.

First lets start with cable connection that means usually you are getting Internet via a cable line. That might not be the case in all the time but most of the time you have a cable line so that derives the name cable ISP. Ex:- Comcast, Cox, Mediacom, Suddenlink......

Then we have DSL usually with this type of connection you have a phone line. Ex:- AT&T, Verizon, Bell south.......

Last but not the least is satellite that means no cables from internet provider, you will be having a antena or dish to pick up the signal. Ex:-Skybeam

So now you now which connection type of internet connection do you have.......Right!!!
