VoiceOfIntuition posted:The correct move on a casual server is push everything and shoot everyone in the head. Thanks for the advice. So is it pretty rare then that a T will hang back on Ramp to ambush any CTs coming down Banana? I feel like top of Ramp is a "bad place to be" for a CT since you're exposed to T-Spawn/Ramp & Underpass/Middle but maybe I'm being overly cautious. Like, I very, very rarely go south past the log pile unless I know it's 100% clear from T-Spawn backside (confirmed through mini-map gunshot indicators). 40 OZ posted:edit- Holy crap I just read that this is casual.

The point I gave up was when he was defending B on nuke. He was up on far side catwalk and I told him 'aim where you expect the enemy to be' That could have literally been anywhere *except* where he decided to aim. Which was right at container between the vents. Ok, guys. When I say 'aim where you expect the enemy to be' I mean that literally. I mean if an enemy should appear on your screen RIGHT THIS INSTANT where would you expect his head to be? That's where your crosshair should be at all times.

This is one of those things you'll just develop a feel for and there's no real correct answer. I usually rotate through mid however I'm almost always sure to check stairs unless a teammate has given me info otherwise. Can't hurt to just toss a flash down either way.

Really if you're playing serious CS you should be rotating sites and moving around the map based on what your team mates are calling. If your team mates aren't calling then you're just playing a game of chance and probabilities.

If you are the last one in B(or a) on inferno you shouldn't be rotating through mid unless the bomb gets spotted/is already on the opposite site. If your teammates are still on the site defending and holding them off, you rushing down banana/mid will most likely just get you killed and then the opposite team will reverse and go to the site that you just left empty for them. When that happens it's called goons_playing_inferno.dem.

When that happens it's called goons_playing_inferno.dem. I think what he's describing is overextending into banana in order to clear it out to rush around to some other part of the map, like when CTs rush into B tunnels in dust2 instead of holding the site. Which works sometimes and feels good when you catch T rotating unexpectedly or something like that, but most of the time you will run into more players than you should be fighting alone and die while peeking them in a way that gives them the advantage, which is not tactically sound.

Where should I be standing/looking when trying to defend a bomb in Dust 2's B? It seems to boil down to 1-2 Ts vs 2+ CTs there pretty often. Sometimes I can pull it off but even then I have no idea what I'm doing and it just feels like dumb luck.

Car, platform, site behind boxes? Those seem most common.

Hugging the platform box and playing around it is your best bet in a 1vX situation in B. You can't wallbang through it. It gives a great view of your choice of tunnels, window and door without exposing yourself. It's awkward for CTs to shoot you because of the possible elevation changes and the ability to quickly hide behind cover. You can popflash off almost all of the walls surrounding it. vvv yes mcvey fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Feb 12, 2014 |

The one that sticks in my mind was standing behind the box at the front of the platform and using the big box to shield me from door/window, that let me split them up a little. Is that a reasonable approach? e: didn't see Mcvey's post. Is that the box you're talking about?

I'm surprised the B tunnel entrance hasn't been mentioned as an option, it's unflashable and pubbies loving loooove to stomp through B tunnel and let you step back for an easy 1v1 because they assume you're pinned into plat/site. It depends on the plant/time left and you have to be careful not to get smoked off but that's whatever. Box is great too though!

As a pretty scrubby silver I find that when I am playing with other silvers, guarding site from one of the "normal" spots will work really well, but when playing against novas or higher, standing anywhere near them will usually get me flashed + instaheadshot. When I am playing against people with a much higher skill level I find being somewhere unexpected is actually safer than being somewhere theoretically "safer", just to avoid getting owned by muscle memory and practiced nades.

Not a tactic when you have team mates alive, but if you're alone and plant don't be afraid to push window immediately and try to surprise someone. Getting an easy kill and potentially clearing outside of B entirely makes it a lot easier.

If you can rank down to silver it's pretty fun to dodge bullets and crouch jump your way to knifedom, just like in the good old days of The Specialists I used to main scout in tf2, gave me some good muscle memory. Until I dropped my sensitivity recently in csgo.

If you got Spec allchat to work it would kinda gently caress it up with Cpunch commenting like he was watching the loving Quidditch World Cup. And who is this Silverwing guy that is too good to goonman? You ever heard of the "UMPfist Flank" because that poo poo is next level. I bet you don't even put milk in your corn flakes motherfucker.
