I am a really good cs awper and I have been sniping for with AWP for more than ten years. But I am no where near as good playing widow, what gives?

Well one big difference is you have to “charge” widow’s shot. That mechanic doesn’t exist in CS or any other FPS game that I know of. (I’ve since been informed that TF2 has it)

You act as if CS ever had good gun mechanics.
CS is popular not because it is good, but because it was the first to be widely available on low end machines for nearly 2 decades.

It is not the same. You can fast switch in csgo between awp and knife or secondary weapon and be able to zoom in again to take a perfect shot.
Here there is no fast switch. Widows weapon takes time to charge to full power and even though they say it is a hit scan there are about 300 videos on Youtube that show delay between shots and bullets hitting the target.
That last part could be bad netcode, but still it is an issue.
Finally awp is one hit kill anywhere on the upper torso while widow must land headshots to be effective.

??? You can’t be serious.
CSGO has better physics and mechanics due to the engine it is build on.
Do you even know gaming ?

flick aim vs holding angles? idk, had a guy on my friends list who was really good at mccree and he was from cs
you probably need to learn the maps better
Additionally, in CS hitboxes are all the same whereas in Overwatch you have heroes like Soldier: 76 with massive head bobs when jumping and Ana who’s head hitbox is slightly off center. Also, there’s no inertia in Overwatch so ADAD crouch spamming is possible which makes it nearly impossible to land a headshot.

But yeah it’s a pretty unique mechanic.

Overwatch is a very different game to Counter-Strike. Characters all have different hitbox sizes, different animations and they all move at different speeds. You also have to charge up your shot as Widowmaker.

Must be the Overwatch hitboxes messing with your aim, as they differ from character to character.
You got heroes like D.Va and Orisa, whose critboxes are almost impossible to miss, and then you got stuff like Tracer and Widowmaker herself whose critboxes vanish in another dimension by simply tap dancing and crouch spamming.
Then you have Genji, constantly moving his head through double jumps, and Ana’s critbox that sometimes forgets it exists.

Awping is easier in my experience, to be honest. Every character has the same height, abilities, hitbox, health… that’s not the case for Widowmaker.

He was talking about CS in general, not CS GO.
Back in the day where the original Rainbow Six was a legend, there were a lot og good fps games, like the originals battlefield and call of duty . But those games required a nice computer, whereas Counter Strike 1.5 could be run in ANY computer. I used to have a Pentium 1 computer, and EVEN THAT could run CS. Games like Rainbow Six couldn’t even be launched in my computer
CSGO is the CounterStrike’s developers shot to the high-class fps.
Great game, but MrCelsius isn’t talking about it. He said CS, not CSGO

Ah, haven’t played TF before
I’m saying this as a csgo player, because awp is easy to use and csgo hitboxes are worse than Genji’s deflect, so yeah.
Or maybe since almost every hero in ow jumps around like maniacs it’s hard to shoot idk

Maybe your muscle memory is locked to the CS zoom? I’m looking at your stats and you accuracy and crits are below average for a widowmaker but you’re certainly not lacking in the elims and damage.
It could also be that his muscle memory is tied to the server side hitboxes and he’s not used to the client side one overwatch uses. In which case, it would be a timing issue.

It exists in TF2 for the Sniper class.
I know gaming much better than you. Also why does he compare CS and not CSGO to Overwatch? CS was released in 1999. It does not even make sense comparing CS to engine physics of a game created in 2016. Unless you do not know gaming.

AWP requires a shot from the waist up to get a kill, Widow usually requires a headshot
Treat Widow like a Scout with charge time as opposed to an AWP
