Yes, that's why you need to make good use of walls when using a Deagle. Also, I wouldn't advise an Elite, a Five-Seven is faster (fastest pistol) just with like 1 point less damage. The USP isn't as fast as Elite/Five-Seven but it is the strongest gun after the Deagle, so you have second highest damage + higher rate of fire then the Deagle.. So I'd say, throw away the Elite and get a USP/Five-Seven.

Accuracy doesn't mean too much in a 2D game, it's not like a FPS game where you need good accuracy to land your shots, let me explain; in a firefight both you and your enemy are dodging, so if your aim sucks or your enemy dodges very good your inaccuracy will make up for it because it spreads all over the place and will hit him no matter what, compared to a M4A1 with a good accuracy, you NEED to aim correctly and follow his movement or else you'll miss and eventually die.
If you have really good aim and/or your enemy is a bad dodger, get the M4A1.
If you have bad aim and/or your enemy is a good dodger, get a AK-47.
I still think the AK is better due to the cheap price tag!
Price can win you the round when you are able to buy rifles and your enemy can't. such as in clanwars/organized matches, money management is good.

Shotguns are overpowered in de_cs2d, not to mention the M3's $1700 price makes you able to buy it almost every round if you die unless your doing really bad (don't reconnect, reconnecting is for losers. learn from your mistakes and learn how to work with your $ money, good training situation for clanwars for example). Not only the powerhouse in de_cs2d, and it's cheap accessability because of low price, some M3 users will eventually die and others will pick it up - all of these factors will make some de_cs2d servers a shotgun festival..
Anyhow, ignore when they cry. They can't take it you killed them with a rifle against a overpowered shotgun, so they get frustrated that you don't use shotgun too.
They like to stick behind walls waiting for you, don't get tempted and just wait untill the round (he loses if he is T) is over or avoid him and plant the bomb and you let him come to you.
If he planted bomb and is defending with M3, it's harder but possible to kill him. Flush him out if you have grenades, don't waste your grenades if the server is full of M3-whores. Try to move back and forth and shooting at random times (sometimes just about hitting the edge of his body), try to bait him out of his cover, or engage with him in a pistol firefight.
