Which is exactly why i stopped playing source.

Which is the entire reason I made this. Theres plenty of spots to smoke, spam, prefire, or flash to kill or get around it. You just have to know to do it, and how to do it.

With the AWP server working correctly again and a nice influx of newbies I think a bump is in order. Sticky maybe?

I admit it's a well done guide, but when newer players see this and decide to spend more time trying to smoke a location than get to the site I'm going to be pissed. I already have the uncanny ability to spawn in the very back of the rush and be the first one into the site.

You can specify who throws the smokes....obviously on a straight up rush you're probably not going to bother to smoke. But if your dropping in some fakes or delaying before hitting a site, Dropping some of these smokes won't be such a pain in the ass because people will be slowing down and you'll have time. and they CAN be incorporated into a rush....around the world on D2...someone can drop a smoke on the box for some cover...Inferno 2nd person in line can branch over to the steps to smoke banana on an around the world there. I've used several of them since the AWP server came back up to pretty decent success.

I have that same uncanny ability to be first into site with the worst spawn, Raush. It's slightly mystifying.

Nice bump. Taught me a few new tricks...
