Getting used to shortnading is tricky. I still haven't figured out when it's useful on the fly, probably gonna have to run around on a listen server and try out some throws.

A good instance that comes to mind is if you're hugging near a corner like inferno's apts and you can do a toss to surprise flash anyone trying to snipe in from grave/library. Similar for Mirage's apts.

It's pretty situational, but if it comes up, I would much prefer the toss to a fuckin' baseball pitch.

agreed ->
Someone got me pretty good with a lobbed flash tonight. He dropped it around a corner and it appeared so slowly before making a sound that I didn't react to seeing it at all.

I'm so used to grenades travelling at a certain speed or making a noise when an enemy is close, so it's this weird new thing that has never been a factor. It might make "pop flashes" a little easier to do on-the-fly.

e: ^ That was pretty much the situation. Inferno at a corner near apts, he pooped it around the corner and I didn't react in time.

I do wanna play with the new patch but I know if just speccing was any indication I will start crashing profusely in a match. Guess I'll wait a bit. I'm really curious to see how the radar skittles will work in the long run.

Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

A mid range toss JUST makes it over the wall in D2 mid. I know I am going to use that a bit.

For those that are crashing with the new patch, so far it seems the easiest fixes are validating your game files and disabling multicore rendering.

Good luck.

Edit: Oh, also here are the stickers you can put on your guns:

Turning off multicore rendering seems to have helped, haven't crashed since I turned it off. I tried validating earlier, but that on its own didn't do anything.

I wouldn't mind if they'd refine the horrible grenade throw animation and the linear altfire strengh adjustment animation.

Oh, and the horrendous tec-9 animation too. It's a shame to see them neglect animation quality like they did with TF2.

Doesn't this make the SMGs pretty much totally worthless?

Also gently caress the deagle buff, I'd be happy if never had to see that stupid pos gun ever again.

Anyone else getting weird random fps drops since this update? My FPS used to be a rock solid >120, now it drops to 45 randomly on some maps then kicks back to something like 70-80.

Yes, but not in such a small amount. The costs involve should evoke decision making similar to buying an AK over a Galil or a A1/A4 over a FAMAS.

And in that case, the choice is "If you have the money, buy it" because the AK and M4 are strictly better?

Essentially, yes. I haven't tested them myself yet but if they're objectively better I think they should be out of reach on round 4 (assuming you won pistols and bought normally) and largely out of reach if you've just come off an eco.

These accuracy changes sound like an absolute seachange in how the game plays. I haven't tried it yet, but this seems huge.

I got this but some dude told me to put -threads 4 in launch options and it helped. I think its based of cores, not sure though.

I didn't notice much change in my UMP / Bison play with the new patch. If anything, I was getting more headshots than normal.

I don't use SMGs, so ymmv, but I tested them out on an aim map. Yes, they are worse, but it isn't terrible. A guy with an UMP or a P90 at a full sprint is still pretty dangerous. Maybe it takes another .25 seconds to shred you, but it isn't like running AK where it shoots bullets practically behind you.
