QuestionWhy can't I round a corner without getting absolutely destroyed by an AK-47? This makes me not want to play the game; it just gets old and boring dying so much.Community AnswerThe AK-47 is one of the best weapons in Counter-Strike due to its ability to quickly take care of opponents. It is pretty common to be killed by this weapon at close to medium range. The best way to counter this is to either throw a flash or a smoke grenade around the corner or toward the enemy to confuse your opponent, then take your opponent out. You could also simply not engage around corners and try to go around these areas.
