Couple of Quickies

[darthshearer]

Firstly im sort of a noob to CS, I have played before, until me poota was down for TIME.

Anyway questions.

1) I know people have there own comfortable positions but what are peoples key-board set=ups, mine at the mo is pants any ideas where I could find a nice layout?

2) When the scores come up at the end of the rounds, what is the latency? I have always thought it was soemthing to do with the net?

Thaks all

For ur second question,

Latency or 'ping' in CS for example is how long in miliseconds it takes for one bit of information from u to travel to the server and back.

Lower better up till about sub 100 then u wont notice much dif

keyboard setups = matter of taste

My main keys :

arrow- move up/down & strafe left/right
Ctrl - Crouch
Shift - Jump
Kp-Ins - Walk
F1 - F8 Buy Binds
F9-F12 - Radio Messages
Delete - Reload

 

[mank!]

I used to use this for CS:

W - forward
S - backward
A - left
D - right
space - crouch
mouse2 - jump
e - use item/open doors
r - reload
q - last selected weapon
f1 - change teams
f2->f4 - buy stuff
f5->f8 - radio

I have a latency of 43 so thats god yeh!

I dont play CS, (havn't played any HL game for years so i don't know why i am on this board but i came across this thread neway)

For almost all games i use ESDF, its like WASD but i find it a little bit more comfortable and it also gives you more keys to the left side of your hand for easy to reach binds.

ESDF for movement
Space for jump
A for walk
\ for crawl

Then the others i use for different binds depending on the game.

 

[darthshearer]

Hmmm I dunno why but I alwas prefer the arrow keys for movement, I think its because I have a problem with pressing other bttons ehn using ASWD etc

Dolly,

You know that you could have ALL those binds assigned to ONE key instead of 4?

that's normal, some of these guys are a bunch of mentalists

bind "backspace" "adjust_crosshair" lets you toggle through 4 different colours for your crosshair; sometimes helps to change the colour on certain maps

 

[darthshearer]

Aint up to speed on the binds and that. The BW Guide is good on them though
