Here is some essential tips that you will learna LOT from (unless you are an experienced players already, but then you might learn something new anyway). Some of them are common newbie mistakes, others are just useful in general. We are not saying that these will make you pro right away, but its stuff that beginners should think about and experienced players might learn from.
Also some of this is general advice, use your own common sense, some of the tips might not be useful in special situations.
This list is not complete, so if you have anything to add, dont hesitate to leave a comment to this guide.
[b]We will start out with the DO NOT list:[/b]

DONT aim at the floor/legs (common mistake up until DMG).
DONT peek planted bomb instantly when you hear a defuse sound, wait about 3 seconds and then peek.
DONT hold down mouse 1 after you havent killed the enemyin 10 bullets, just strafe away and wait for your recoil to settle.
DONT hold shift when the enemy already knows you are there or there is only one entry (B on inferno for example).
DONT reload when your in a dangerous spot and you still have more than 5-6 bullets, get safe and then reload.
DONT peek when your reload isnt finished.
DONT buy a helmet when you know the enemies either have AWPs or AKs and your money isnt amazing.
DONT eco rounds when you have ~3500$ on T or ~4000$ on CT (again, dont buy helmet) ANDyou know the enemieseconomy is weak.
DONT (IMPORTANT)eco after you lose the pistol on CT orT (except for when you get a plant in the pistol on the T side). Buy helmet + pistol, scout or mag-7. You will be able to buy on the 4th round no matter what you do on the second round, and winning 2nd isnt that hard considering their economy isnt great either.
DONT stand next to someone (especially AWPers) who are peeking on a close angle. They want to strafe back if they miss their shot and if they get blocked, this usually means instant death.
DONT rush in or peek with the bomb, just drop it in a safe corner where it cant be seen by CTs.
DONT peek in with your W/forward key, always peek while side strafing.
DONT runwith a nade/smoke/flash in your hand, knife is 250 units/s nades are 245 units/s.
DONT flame your teammates the game is better without, trust me.

[b]Now for some DOs:[/b]

DO prefire common spots/cornersat headshot level.
DO fake plant to get a chance at an easy kill, just hold E till you hear the sound and then spam 1 to get your gun out.
DO use shift walk when fake defusing (most useful in 1 vs X), tap the bomb (tapping E to make noise) and shift walk into a wider angle, so that when the T peeks the bomb you will be in a weird angle for him.
DO use counter flashes when you are getting pushed as a CT. When you are getting rushed, a smoke will not detonate in time to stop the rush. A flash however, will buy some time and maybe even get you or your teammate a free kill.
DO use molotovs to clear out common spots and then watch as they run for their lives while you kill them.
DO use incendiary grenades to buy some extra time (7 sec) for your teammates to rotate.
DO plant the bomb in the most optimal plant available. Most of you always plant in the safest way, although a better plant can give you the upper hand in a clutch situation. Learn the different plants and when to use which.
DO flash in for your teammates. Most of those flashes are easy to throw and doesnt need to be learned. Just tell your teammate your flashing for him and he can get a safe peek, maybe even a kill.
DO learn the various T side smokes on the maps you are playing. YoutTube is a great source for this.
DO accept the fact that your teammate might be better off with the AWP than you are.
DO buy on the 3rd round if you got a plant in the 1st or 2nd round but still lost. You will have around 4500, should be enough.
DO learn the recoil patterns of the most common weapons (AK, M4A1), again YouTube is a great source.
DO be friendly/optimistic. Your chances for a comeback is 80% higher when you keep the spirit up! Statistically proven ;-)
