work to make them reliable without any

special scripting or binds you know now

in CS2 you can just jump and it jump

throws automatically that's a CS2

feature that they made because it just

became so common developing one's

coordination and reaction time has

always been key to mastering Counter

Strike we are no longer going to allow

automation via scripting or Hardware

actions from a single game input may be

kicked from their match okay to prevent

accidental infractions in-game binds
