Instant stop with AWP??

[Shadow of Death]

On the server, currently all the maps revolve around AWPing. I don't have a problem with this, it's just I have noticed that most, if not all of the advanced players have extremly fast stoping times delays before having an accurate, pin-point shot. For me it take me .3-.4 seconds after stopping before the AWP will "believe" it has stopped all momentum. But for people on the server it takes them about .08-.12 seconds before they have come to a complete stop to make an aimed shot, sometimes even so fast I can't even shot the one AK shot at their head. So either everyone is using some type of script, or its something that you have to do before shoting to give you that. I have been told twice since I have not played CS:S that pressing in the opposite direction right before you stop is the secret, so I have yet to try that out. But thought I should drop a line here before I go. I have no problems with my game other than avoiding AWP fire and shotting the thing itself, so if you could help me out here, I would be greatly apprietiative.

This and more will be on the highly anticipated video 3, which will be release after the CAL playoff.

I go over stopping styles in the private lesson offered with the guide, but the way I use for a majority of my stops is by strafing one way (a going left for instance) and then abruptly stopping with the opposite direction (d going right for instance).

I use this for all my gunning.

Ok, so i have come to realize, that this instant stop and reverse on enertia by tapping in the opposite direction, is such a feature that it certainly leads to hacker speculation if someone unknowing has it done to them, and sees it happen to alot of people. Obviously once mastered this is very benefitial and only compliments to your accuracy, almost as if it were a bug, and leads me to believe that it is. I don't believe it happens in 1.6, so I will ask valve if this is an intended feature, or an overlooked bug. If it is a bug and not an intended feature, then I shall share that response with CAL and the CPL, which is the most likly of case's will be warentted as an exploit, and all I can say if that happens is, good luck breakin an old habit.

lol I would think that every person in CAL knows about it, and certainly valve do. It's one of those things put in for people to master, like airstrafing.

[rew ? sky]

I used it in 1.6 all the time. Also used it in 1.5 and 1.4, but back then I was bad so it was more like me trying to do it.

Not a bug so much as it is a part of the game physics. You push one direction and then press the opposite which would logically make you stop. Been here ever since I played cs, except back in 1.3 I was too nub to be smart enough to stop like that.

Either way, good luck with the crusade if that is what you want to invest your time in. Don't think valve will really care much though.

haha, just kidding.

Ive been practicing my awping alot over the past 2 days or so because I want to get alot faster and alot more accurate and so far playing the WoP server has helped alot because their are normally very skilled players in there and you can spec them and learn their techniques but so far ive got a little bit better.

[SoliD]

the "reverse inertia" you speak of has been around since the beginnings of CS. it's not a hack or exploit, it's part of the game mechanics. therefore, valve has no intention of "fixing" the ability to do this.

[dave]

its how physics works in real life, the force of friction stops an object with so much force, but it will stop faster if u have that force of friction and a force in the other direction. Force causes the acceleration, more acceleration, faster stopping.

I still sometimes shoot and that happens to me. :x

[Prince Knives]

i can do it with any gun ACCEPT AWPS AND AUTO"S gay eh?

Practice doing it against a wall...that way you can see where the bullets are going and how much you need to stop.

[SoliD]

once you get the hang of it you will do it subconsciously, it's like driving a stick shift.

[CreaTurE]

driving a stick shift is pretty easy il admit too that!! :D

[sweat_man]

wtf is airstrafing??

does stoping by pressing D if going left make your recoil go down faster? when using a non scoped gun

[BlAcK||iCe]

No.

Is airstrafing when you jump in one direction (say, left) then press the opposite direction key to stop moving left in mid-air?

and Solid is e-mazing at driving the "stick"...err I mean his "stick"

11 knife kills in 1 round , either a very lucky round on a zombie server or against noob bots!!

I have been recently wondering about this too. The only problem i have is that I have to let go of one key then quickly tap the other to stop immediately. For instance: I'm going left with the A key and I want to stop. I have to let go of the A key and then quickly tap the D key to stop quickly. If I just hold down D while holding down A I dont stop very fast at all. Is that whats supposed to happen?

Yes, that's exactly what's supposed to happen. In the orignal version of the guide, I got confused cause it described pressing the opposite key while still holding the other direction key. But, if you do that, then it's the same stopping time as just releasing the key you're holding down.

Which is why you do it earlier than you want to stop.

Trust in Bunsen; if you practice Pre-emptively readying to stop, you won't have to rely on your reaction time to do your "Quickest possible stop" at a time AFTER you should already have stopped. Comprende?
