AK47
In Counter Strike, I am at a complete loss at how to use the AK47. The recoil is way too much for me, but it's the only Terrorist gun that's good that I've found. If I could master the art of the AK, I'd be a better rounded player.
Help?

Yes I couldnt agree more. I remember back at the beginning I had the same problem. Of course that was when CS first came out, so back then you could fall back on the mp5 (it was more effective than today and very few people could hit you while strafing... it was a a simpler time lol).
Anyway, mastering the AK is vital. Today, 6 years down the line or whatever, I often prefer it to the m4. I did two things to learn the gun back in 1.5. First I went in to play aim maps, particularly aim_ak_colt and aim_map (for two different ranges). I stayed on the T side religiously (in the first map), getting my behind kicked for ages. Then, the other important thing is I watched the good players very carefully, and copied what they did. I got blasted for a couple of weeks, then things turned around.
So here are some general tips (some are obvious as hell but bear with me):
- Learn to stay calm while using that gun, and to control your burst to firing two or three shots at a time.
- As with all guns, but particularly with the AK you got to be standing still when you fire. So that whole fire 2- 3 rounds, strafe two steps, fire 2-3 rounds, etc thing is what you will see most of the good guys doing.
- There is one technique where you aim a tiny bit above the head and then pull the crosshairs down (slightly... not lower than his upper chest area) as you fire a burst of two or three rounds. Works best for crouched players.
- Also learn to predict the AK spray at very close range. If you learn where to spray below the head you can get loads of kills. Again... only at very close range.
Learning where to aim is the most important step. Depending on how you fire, you aim at a different area of the body. So watch the good players on the aim maps and then copy what they do. Dont worry about dying or looking like a dork lol, just stay calm and keep at it.
Good luck
