Nope, Shift is for walking quietly, not for counter-strafing. To counter-strafe, you just tap the opposite movement key without Shift. Using Shift slows you down and makes you an easy target.

Absolutely! Using Shift to counter-strafe in CS:GO can help you stop more quickly, making your shots more accurate. Essentially, you're moving in one direction, then you press Shift while moving in the opposite direction to halt your momentum. This trick can be super handy in gunfights to improve your precision.

Honestly, it's all about personal preference and what you find comfortable. I use Shift for a smoother stop sometimes, especially if I'm trying to be quiet. But for quick actions, just tapping the opposite direction works best. It's worth experimenting to see what fits your playstyle!
