Who's the goon who was designing weapons/stickers? I want to try this out but don't know the software process that leads to the creative stage of actually making the design.

I've poked around the weapon finish (shameless plugs) tech and the sticker (even more shameless plug) system a bunch and can probably answer any questions you have. Feel free to shoot me a PM any time.

What do you all think of 120hz+ monitors? Do they make any noticeable difference compared to a regular 60hz one? Been reading elsewhere and it seems quite a few people swear by them, but when it comes to monitor specs I don't know what actually matters and what is marketing bullshit.

If you're using them for ~*hardcore gaming*~ sure, but for any other possible use, a HiDPI ("retina") monitor is better.

It won't make you better
but it looks marginally smoother.
If you have absolutely nothing else (no other hobbies, projects, nuthin) to dump your spare cash into, you won't regret a 120hz monitor

Oh man. I couldn't stop laughing for that whole match. Every time you got a kill , I'd check the chat and you'd be calling yourself a scrub.

I'm out for a week due to computer trouble. But I ordered a computer case who's color is described as 'slime' so maybe that will help me click heads.

I enjoy buying Negev on the 3rd round to assert dominance at the start of a match. I find this a very effective tactic.

Admittedly this was weird off-hours US matchmaking so the other team is a spread from Silver 3 to Double-AK.

Why do you spend half the round reloading your gun? You should have died before getting that second kill because of a badly timed reload.

Its kind hard to judge someone aim when they hold angles with a scoped aug while people walk into your sights.

If your bullets are hitting the person you're trying to shoot, you're doing it right.

Wow way to navigate the buy menus with your mouse you scrub

edit: serious post - you don't need to reload so often. This isn't cod where you just want to reload after every time you kill someone, if you are getting pushed and you still have 15-20 bullets left reloading is just asking to get killed

I do it by mouse because I'm a scrub and I still tend to be the first one to finish buying anyway in most rounds.

Yeah I suppose I'll try to keep my reloading down, I'm just a compulsive "ohgod break in the action gently caress it I need more bullets" reloader out of those few times where you JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH and lose a firefight because you were 2 bullets short.

Is rank progression based on round win/loss or match win/loss? I'm trying to figure out if its worth fighting to win every round I can even when we're down 12-2, or if all that the matchmaker records is winning or losing the map.

If it is round based, I'm going to be a bit frustrated because my last two wins were team surrendering before round 15.

No one really knows the details. All we know is that you can't rank up without winning and vice-versa.

I'm fairly confident that its match win/loss that will determine if you rank up or down. It wouldn't make much sense to make it based on rounds given the side balance on certain maps would make them very undesirable since, for instance, starting T side on Nuke has made some of my teams pretty disappointed after a mediocre 10-5 or 11-4.

No excuse for no 1AKs on CT side either; you let them get a plant down round 2 so they can all buy you your new guns :v:

I'm pretty terrible with the AK but I'm getting better. I'm better with the M4 but I don't let that stand in the way of getting better with the AK.

What's everyone's opinion on the M4A1-S and the M4A4? I like the extra 10 rounds in the M4A4 if you're holding a high traffic area like Ramp or Heaven on Nuke, but the accuracy and stealth offered by the -S is decent utility for the tradeoff in ammunition capacity.

I didn't even know until a few days ago you could change Inventory ingame :cripes:

The m4a1-s is my best gun and inexplicably the m4a4 is my worst. Therefore the m4a1-s is far superior, clearly.

Apr 22, 2008

The real answer is that it's situational; if you're playing on a team and you play specific spots, you will likely tailor your inventory choice to those specific spots.

If you only play buttmen's then just use whatever you're more comfortable with.

Drinkfist style.

I'm most consistent with the m4a1-s and will drop an ak to pick one up. The silencer has come in handy a few times but a sneaky gun requires a sneaky person, the silencer is obviously useless if they're already staring at you.

Can you still Ghetto scope? I remember in 1.6 (Or possibly earlier) you could set up a keybind that dropped sensitivity and hosed around with the FOV to create kind of scopes.
