My spray with AK-47/M4 is bad. How to improve it? Should i change my mouse? I have Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury FPS Gaming Mouse but i don't like it. I can't play with 400 DPI with this mouse like pro players. It sucks for CS:GO. Even in Windows mouse moving very slow with 400 DPI. I use 1600 DPI for Windows and CS:GO.
 
This is something that has been asked so many times on the internet I'm surprised you already haven't found the answer! Your mouse isn't going to matter in this regard. Play at a DPI you are comfortable with. Then play 10,000 hours of CS:GO and you should be good to go as a pro. You need to actually play a lot to get better. Good luck.

At 400 dpi with the AK you really need to pull down on your mouse.

Download custom 'aim' maps that let you practice your aim. rehearse for a couple of minutes then test the spray right into deathmatch until you can consistently kill people with ease.

I got to top rank by doing that(mostly played solo)
 
All the weapons have their own unique but consistent spray patterns. One trick is to memorize the reverse pattern with your mouse. I use 400dpi in Windows :pimp:.

Here are the patterns - http://csgoskills.com/academy/spray-patterns/
 
btw i think i used 800 DPI. yeah its slow as fuck but you can adjust the sensitivity in the menus and windows. . so it will feel normal. also when i said that i got to top rank from doing what i said, spray control and aim is only part of the equation. you need to memorize smokes and nades, learn how to pre-fire and which spots usually has heads on them(crucial when T-side), plus team communication is key, and being friendly greatly helps(am playing at southeast asian servers which is one of the most toxic regions to play in)
 
I like my sensitivity to where I can do a 180 with damn near a full swipe across my mouse pad. Sometimes if it is too slow I will just go back to 1:1 movement.
 
I use 1.3 in game sensitivity and 800 dpi on my Logitech G403 wired.

I use the Aim Botz training map and from there you can toggle on the option to show the bullet tracers and bullet hitboxes to see clearly where your bullets are going.

All I can say is, you just need to use the weapon until the spray becomes second nature to you. I can even take two weeks off of the game and after a couple of sprays can get back into the groove of spraying down enemies from a good range. Using the AWP/deagle/smg all of the time is never going to help you become a better rifler.
 
stop spraying and learn to hs?

I can agree with this as well. There are plenty of times when you just want to tap-tap away at somebody's head. This is why the AK is always a good choice :D

Another excellent tip is crosshair placement. You do not want to be running around the map with your crosshair pointing at the floor. Always anticipate an enemy popping out around that corner. If your crosshair is already at head level, you might just need to adjust a little horizontally in order to get that headshot.

Do people still play that? I used to play JO Typhoon Rising and it was a cool game.

those games are good way of learning bullet physics
 
What the hell am I looking at? Talk about taking the game seriously...
It always fires the same patterns so if you memorize the patterns you can move your mouse to compensate for it or you can write a bot that moves your mouse cursor in a way that counteracts it, that is what a lot of people do on Rust for example.
 
That seems like an insane level of giving a shit about the game, in my opinion...
 
CS:GO has a shit netcode that just totally spergs out for some (a lot) users. For me it's impossible to even train the thing, it's that random. Especially infuriating is when you know you've had timed advantage and yet the oponent manages to kill you faster. What was most dreadful was checking the console for headshots and it nearly always registered the same 17 in 1 for a perfectly landed headshot (from my point of view at least). What netcode screwed up afterwards, probably not even CS:GO devs or Valve knows. If game consistently registers some 17 in 1 dmg calculated from god knows what, you know something is wrong. But to date no one managed to admit or explain it to me.
 
Q: "How do you do more pull-ups?"

A: Do more pull-ups.

When money is involved people tend to give a shit. Its also just like ANYTHING else in the world, people like to be good at things. Some people are okay with being mediocre at things and some people like to be the best. Its what drives humankind. Without drive you would be bashing rocks together and fist fighting for mating rights still. Git Gud. Actually without drive you would probably just give up your mating rights without a fight cause mediocre.
Its fun to play at higher levels and not be a scrub. Now I'm going to tell you that it IS a sport. I've played physical sports my entire life and was usually better than most because of practice. Esports are sports, yes they are athletes, could they dunk on Durant? Prob not. Is Durant going to peek a pro CSGO player and get away with it? Hell no. Different athletes, different sports. Coming from a traditional "athlete."

That's counted as an Aimbot, you can use it in Singleplayer to mess around, but Multiplayer it's Cheating unless you are in a room that allows such mods...
 
I rank in the top places when i play solo too ;)
I play better when playing solo because you suddenly get this mentality of 1vs5 and your teammates are shit and won't cooperate so you have to watch your own back

When I play with friends I kinda relax unintentionally thinking nahh they got my back or nah they're good and we can coordinate to win.

I was stuck in the LE range with friends but got to SMFC/GE at solo. VERY stressful though to the point that I quit playing it
 
AK-47. Bullets fly close to the target up to the 5th bullet. After that, the weapon starts moving left and right. After 10-11 bullet it is almost impossible to control the spray. According to AK recoil compensation, you need:
Before 10-11 bullet, move the scope below the target
After that, immediately move the scope to the left up to the 15th bullet
Then sharply move to the right up to the 22nd one
Move back to the left until you run out of ammo.
