Basic things that you have to know in crossfire.

1)SPOP
You've probably thought that the SPOP/Female characters are harder to hit because they are thin. However, there is no differance in the characters. Spops look smaller and they do ,
but the hitboxes are the same. Therefore if you hit the thin air next to the SPOP, you will actually damage them. The truth is, this means that there are slight differences.

A) There is a smaller peak time because they 'look' smaller, you have less time to react to the SPOP.
B) SPOP heads can be seen in smoke.
D) Any psychological differences because you find it harder to shoot air.

2) Planting the bomb in GM.
Why do so many people plant in the most 'hidden' places possible where they feel it is hardest to reach. eg. in the light in Lab A site, in the corner in Metro B site, in the water in Hackenkreuz
A site. Why be so stupid? If your a ghost, your INVISIBLE. The best places to plant are in open space. Where you can bunnyhop and surprise people.

Planting the bomb in your favourite spot:
B) Makes it harder for your team to approach the bomb
C) Makes it easier for GR to defend the defuser

3) Made up Rules, Mindset, Mental Issues
Many people in the game enjoy making up mental rules that handicap themselves or make them not want to improve. A few examples are:

A) Believing that being killed by a camper is their fault for being noob, when in reality campers are so easy to kill, it's their own fault for not checking their base.
B) Complaining about ur bad team when in fact its the idea of being in team and support it that counts.
C) Not using/complaining about certain guns. If someone manages to kill you with M12s/SL, there is no reason why they can't kill you with a different gun. Do not assume that because they are
using that gun, that it is the gun they are best with.

4) Basic start of round placement (HM/MM)
I notice many people back themselves into corners with many other people at the start of the round in the perceived most safest spots, e.g. Research Facility Hut,
In the corner of the cage in Excavation, at the back of the tower in Tranquility, in the corner of A site in Port etc. This is one of the worst ways to start because of the different things
that can happen.

A) You turn into a mutant and proceed to get shot at by the 2-3 humans standing around you
B) Someone else turns into a mutant and mutates you because you have nowhere to run

The far more logical way is to stand at the edge of the camp spot, so that if someone does turn into a mutant you can shoot towards them/run away if need be. Or if you turn into a mutant
you don't get trapped by humans.


5) Rule of empty spaces.
This should the first thought when predicting where enemies are likely to be coming from. The rule is, enemies are more likely to be coming from empty spaces in the minimap.
Think about it. They are less likely to be near any of your teammates because there are things that might happen if they do meet.

A) Your teammate kills opponent
B) Your opponent kills teammate
C) Either of them run away

It is very useful. try it, look at your minimap often, not just to see where your teammates are, but where they aren't and maybe put more focus into looking where they are going
and see if someone of your teamates is dead or killed somebody.
