Tips for Counterstrike players

Counterstrike players who switch to AAO are often frustrated by their lack of
success. Here are some tips to get better:

1. Unlike Counterstrike, your score is not based solely on the number of your
kills. Instead, a very heavy percentage of your total score is based on
your team accomplishing its objectives and you being a good team player.
Therefore play to win the objectives and not to kill the most people
possible.

2. Do not impulsively fire at everything you see. If you hit or kill your
teammates you will lose a LOT of points. Especially do not throw grenades
at places where your teammates might be.

3. Your movement speed is much slower than in Counterstrike making the game
slower paced. However, firefights end much sooner so the action parts are
more intense.

4. Aiming is much more realistic. At close range you will hit what you put your
crosshairs on so don't be afraid to go full auto. At long ranges, however
use your sights and fire single shots from a prone position.

5. Headshots are not important unless you are a sniper. Don't go for them. In
any case 3-5 bullets will kill any enemy.

6. Watch your ammo. Guns fire much faster than Counterstrike and reload times
are much longer. There are also no pistols to provide backup.

7. Grenades are completely different. A grenade will kill anyone nearby no
matter their health. However, grenades take much longer to prep and throw.
They also explode with a delay unless you cook them off. Stun grenades are
also much better because their effect lasts for ~30 seconds so use them
often.

8. Teamwork is much more important. There is almost no chance of you taking on
the other squad on your own so don't try!
