Honestly if I had to rely on MMing to play CS:GO I probably wouldn't still be playing CS:GO. Goonmans are fun, come goonman. Most of us have been playing with each other on the reg for going on two years now and it definitely beats playing against randoms.

Had a good amount of fun playing with you goons in tonights Goonman. I was "L.N.C.S. Flashbang!" Also happy to report that I can get a kill with a P250, just required moral support.

I will start to get in on goonmans now that I know that I am silver III and you guys are forewarned as to how much of a burden you are carrying.

I will still enjoy MM but I will refuse to drop into classic casual because that place is a loving zoo.

I just got demoted to Silver 3 so we can goonman together. Eventually we'll have one team of all silvers so nobody can yell at us. Unless allchat is on. And we'll still die in 30 seconds.

They're just hashing the URLs in your DNS cache to use with a local bloom filter. Can you imagine the bandwidth if they really sent your DNS cache to Valve's servers?

Huh that's interesting: for those who are curiuos here's the reddit thread talking about it: http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1y0kc1/vac_now_reads_all_the_domains_you_have_visited/?top

I will have to fire up IDA at some point and see for myself what they do with it after that I guess.

But honestly even if they did flag you for having organner.pl in your DNS cache it doesn't mean you bought/downloaded any actual hacks.

True, but I think the main concern here is that it might actually be happening. Surely, getting banned for visiting websites is an after thought.

It's pretty safe to say that they're not banning anyone if they just visit cheat sites. Most likely it's just another parameter in their machine learning algorithm.

I no-poo poo woke up yesterday morning with "500 miles" blaring in my brain.

Then I discovered I had a ton of TF2 crap I could sell, so I listed several pages worth of stuff yesterday and made about $10. Then I used that money to open a case I had and got a blue laminate StatTrak AK! Good things happen to good people.

I am curious what everyone's "true" sensitivity is (Mouse DPI multiplied by in game sensitivity setting).

I play at 600 DPI X 2 in game = 1200

So this is exactly the same as I was saying the only difference would be if someone (for whatever reason) changes their windows default sensitivity?

Or am I missing something here? What is m_yaw?

It's the same as what you said, except that an arbitrary number like "1200" isn't very helpful to anyone. And unless for whatever reason you have changed your m_yaw value in game you can leave it alone.

How is the arbitrary number of 1200 which is DPI * Ingame Sensitivity, any better than inches per 360 which, by your logic, is equally as arbitrary. "True sensitivity" is a term I have heard countless times, where as I have never heard inches/360. Granted I don't read this thread.

Both values are equally consistent. I will grant you that yours takes into account two additional settings. However it seems like in 99% of the case those settings never differ from the defaults.

Inches/360 is the accepted metric for overall sensitivity in CS.

Except that inches per 360 accounts for how many degrees in game one "dot" in DPI actually moves your crosshair...

edit: and yes I realize that multiplying DPI times in game sensitivity gives you the same thing, but unless you are a sperg who has all those numbers memorized saying "12 inches per 360" will be a lot more helpful to anyone in this thread than "1000" or whatever you want to use.

It's a lot easier to comprehend "it takes 20 inches for me to do a 360" than "my truesensitivity is 1200" imo.

^^^ I understand the point, but I still don't think it makes one inherently better than the other. Especially since one requires you to use a tool to get the value whereas the other anyone can just tell you (assuming you know your dpi).

But for comparitive purposes they are still equivalent...
