The ultimate in stealth and tactics. One life and a chronically limited number of shots, two teams start in opposite corners in the arena and hunt one another down. To add to the realism gun sensors are turned off along with the arena music. Sometimes we also get the lights dimmed.
Gun Sensors: Off
Lives: 1
Shots: 30
Counter Strike has the strongest emphasis on teamwork of any of our variants,even more so than Aliens. The success of a team depends on co-ordination, confidence and good knowledge of the arena. Since it's extremely easy to die or run out of shots, the game play becomes slow and reserved which is a nice contrast to the usual madness. The defending team always has an advantage so it can often be a good idea to provoke or wait for your enemy to attack you.
Be Aware Of Range Issues. The LQ guns have a maximum 'effective' range of about 7 -12 metres, since your shots are limited you can't simply keep spamming until you get that lucky hit. Performance varies and some guns may be more useful for sniping than others, and of course some packs are harder to hit than others.
Conserve Shots. You have thirty shots, but it's still very easy to run out, so take care. Bursts of five shots at a 'good' target are generally reasonable.
Check Your Targets. You can't kill your team-mates, but since your shots are limited you don't want to waste them. Also be aware that gun sensors are off, and in the distance a gun barrel can look like a shoulder or front/rear sensor.
Form A Team Plan: Have a clear plan of action even if it is just to stay put.
Stay Down. You are very easy to kill and therefore you should be under cover as much as possible.
