This is so strange I was playing on the goonman server fine for the first half of a match then suddenly my ping jumps to 90 and I get constant loss. No one else has any issues and I only have problems with the goon server and another gameME server I play on. Every other server is totally fine.

I heard the other day while on the server that it is routing issues. I usually ping 30 to the server but every couple days I ping 120-150 for no reason.

Fun fact, these were 2 subsequent rounds. I guess my anger from the first fuelled the second.

Yeah, same thing happens to me every once in a while. I've noticed it since we switched to this server provider. Though I've never had any loss or anything, just the ping issue.

CS:GO Map Data http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/map-data-01/
As we continue to develop Cobblestone and Overpass, we can use round outcome data to help drive design decisions. How do these new maps compare to other official maps?
To answer that question, let’s look at data from the top four skill groups in competitive matchmaking over the period from 12/20/2013 to 1/20/2014.

What are the easiest/lowest responsibility spots to play on each map?

I've started playing competitive a bit on Dust 2 (the only one I know well enough to call the spots) and it's been fun but I want more. I'd also like to ruin as few games for other people as possible.

The spots which usually have 2+ people watching them.

Nuke - Ramp
Inferno - Banana
Dust2 - Long
Mirage - A Palace or Ramp
Cache - B

Not that these are the "easiest" spots, but always having someone nearby to help is the best situation for inexperienced players.

e: Basically just avoid any middle area, and don't try to play bombsites alone. "Mid" on Dust2/Mirage/Cache/Inferno are often sniper battles, same as yard/outside on Nuke. If the CT there gets taken out with no backup, the terrorists have free reign.

There's a filter button at the bottom of the server browser. You can type de_ for only defuse maps.

I discovered that I suffer from a terrible syndrome - Bad Weapon Addiction. I think the MAG-7 is incredibly cool in every way and I always buy it (with a Deagle for backup) as long as the map has at least one fairly tight path. I also for some unquantifiable reason enjoy the SSG08 more than the big brother AWP. Maybe because 20ish years of gaming have made it second nature to go for the head when I'm using a sniper rifle.

I've still never bought the Zeus a single time, though. I have some dignity.

I've got a video of a 5 kill round using only a scout. It's super pubstar play though, so I won't be posting it here.

I guess what I'm saying is that you can use the non-viable guns as long as you're either smurfing or low rank.

The scout still gets occasionally picked up in high-level play as a poverty buy but only by players with extremely good aim. The babby rifles are of course poverty buy mainstays, and for certain roles on certain maps shotguns are also valid poverty buys. There's plenty of weapons that get used in this game, it's just that at high level play they're not worth it if you can afford an M4 or AK.

I use the nova all the time in Valve MM play on non-save rounds not only because of the money boost but also because it's a great way to embarrass players. I'm really not a great player but for some reason I've really learned how to corner people into eating buckshot.

I always seem to do better with the nova than I do with either of the more expensive shotguns. It's a surprisingly great weapon for $1200 if you can find the right place to use it.

Apparently my headphones are broken? I could still hear gunshots, but not defusing or people talking. Like the tweeter broke but not the bass? And it must have been intermittent too...

I don't feel so bad about that Cache round, though. Not my fault! :( Need to buy new headphones I guess.

Do a test outside the game? Are you missing all highs or is it CS-specific?

Don't feel bad! Antics like what happened to you on cache add to the charm of playing in a goonman. I was in GOTV during that match I think, and there were a few other spectators. All the reactions to you just running right past the CT as he defused was hilarious.

Make sure you aren't using 5.1 sound in the game options, it's bugged.

I swapped to my speakers and I could hear everything, so I think its the headphones. I'll need to get some new ones so I can use my mic again though.

I'll try turning off 5.1 just in case, but I think I was set to stereo, thanks. If that doesn't work I'll run by Fry's and pick up some new ones. I have the worst luck with headphones.

Yeah, at least I'll make the goonman highlight reel again. :cheeky:

Yeah, part of the problem was that even if you didn't hear the defuse sound, it should have been obvious that he was going to go for the defuse. Also, you actually saw the CT defusing when you started to move out of the site to avoid the bomb blast.

Basically, when there is one CT left and he throws a smoke directly onto the bomb, you know he is going to go for the defuse, and you should be watching for him to come into the site.
