Counter-Strike - Hardcore Ninja Style

In order to fight like a hardcore ninja you must become one with the knife blade. I recommend getting a sweet knife skin so you feel cooler when playing with it. An aura of smoothness is vital to this playing style.

When the round begins, buy a USP (if you're T) and put the silencer on or if you're CT just silence the bitch. Don't buy a primary weapon. Primary weapons are for pussies. You do need a shitload of equipment though, because equipment is for both pussies and ninjas alike. Buy a kevlar vest (and helmet if you can afford it) and a flashbang or two, plus a smoke grenade and high explosive grenade. Keep in mind that the USP is your backup piece.

The ideal setting for a ninja is when an enemy is at the end of a short and narrow passage. In this case, all the tricks should be used. Smoke screen the hall, peak and make sure he's still milling about back there, then flashbang grenade and pounce in quick succession. If you've placed everything right, his blindness will start to fade as you appear from the smoke directly in front of him with a knife in hand.

Ideal settings are few and far between sadly. Hiding in a dark corner waiting for some sap to walk by is not the way of the ninja. Such is the way of the camper motherfucker, or "jap". The flashbang is the most valuable tool at your disposal, and is best used in combination with your USP when in an open area. You should have a key that switches between your current weapon and previous weapon automatically. You want to be able to bust out your USP very quickly in the event you stumble on multiple baddies, in which case you will prolly die but you can split some lids before you go.

Snipers are obvious targets for the hardcore ninja because (unless they use the scout) they are cowards with cannons taking pot shots while others do the dirty work. Snipers are the archenemies of the ninja. It is our job to stab some sense into them. Snipers often have a limited field of vision with no peripheral vision. Often times you can sneak directly under their vantage point and make your way behind them. When someone is standing still and doesn't know you're there, it's time for the secondary knife stab. Cut him open from neck to nuts then scream a battlecry as a warning to other snipers.

The key to ninjaness is quickness and use of tricks. Slinking around throwing explosives and finishing off the victims is the most effective way, but it's not just that easy in practice. Don't be discouraged if you get your ass kicked a lot. Kniving multiple people in one round and living to stab again is hard, and the most hardcore of ninjas only manage 2:1 or 3:1 ratios. Everyone dies a lot. It's Counter-Strike.
