Default Counterstrike advice needed!!

I'm just getting into CS for the 1st time. I've played a lot of COD and BF1942 but need some tatical advice etc.. for CS...

1st question: money - do you always start with just $800?? I'd swear the first game I played today was with loads of cash but after restarting the machine I was always with just $800?

It depends on the admin of the server you log into. Some servers allow players to start with $1600, some even at max $16000. But generally, yeah, $800 is the norm.

That's cool it didn't seem a problems coz after a few rounds "saving up" and dying I could get enough for a decent loadout.

Yeah the 800 dollar servers stink.
In those just stay at ur "base" until ur team mate dies, then take his gun

Be sure to buy armor too.

on the servers which start out with $800 each round, and use dynamic pricing by the 5-7 which is VERY inexpensive, and then as vanquished said, when someone dies, pick up their deagle and save the several thousand dollars..
