That seems backwards because playing against better players means it is more likely that you will die to a headshot making the armor a waste of money

Ah fair enough, but even still, not necessarily. Different people employ different things, you should buy on pistol round to suit your strengths. If you feel like you can't get the first shot off and wanna protect against aimpunch, go with armor. If your team is going to be rushing an area that might get nade stacked, buy armor. If you want to play a more backup/complimentary role, buy a set of nades. It really does depend, and there isn't a "wrong" answer for pistol round. Some people have even gone back to buying pistols on pistol round.

The CZ has also made it somewhat of a viable strategy to buy a pistol on pistol round too. Since you can stop a pistol round rush pretty easily if you're in the right spot.

I buy a 5-7 on CT or a CZ on T if I think the other team is probably worse than mine, just going by warmup. But that's because they're the only pistols I can actually shoot worth a drat. I've just completely given up on the p250; it just doesn't work at all with my aiming/running/firing patterns I guess.

It has come to my attention that people on the sourcemod forums are actually trying to use goonpug and now they won't stop emailing/steam messaging me about it being broken so I guess I will maybe start actively developing/fixing it again.

The CZ is complete trash come on lets get real. 24 bullets? In an automatic weapon? With worse accuracy than the tec 9? It's like a big plays preventer.

It would be one thing if the P250 didn't exist, but if you've equipped the CZ for anything other than comedy you've made a grave mistake.

If I'm playing as T and am in a situation where I may get a very early kill, I'll save my $800 and then buy a first round mac10. I feel it's worth it for the 1 in 100 times it actually works out.

Is the Github issue tracker the most up to date bug tracking on it? I've been wanting to learn a bit about sourcemod and might be able to help you fix your poo poo.

Any bugs on the github issue tracker are probably still bugs but it isn't really up to date and there are other outstanding issues that I need to fix that aren't on github. The biggest thing right now is that I need to write my own curl extension for SM because the existing one is a piece of poo poo and was written by someone that doesn't understand threading.

Yo, I haven't played since the CZ was introduced because I don't have a PC but I have seen some huge plays with it in pro games. It was getting bought more often than any other pistol, even.

I don't know how to make analogies
Would be interesting to see what would happen in the first 3 rounds if they gave a buy option for just a helmet with no armor.

Is there anyway to make it so cs go doesn't lag when I am not focused on the game? I have two monitors and I play in fullscreen windowed mode. However when I start using a different screen the screen wtih cs go on it lags a lot, it cuts down a ton of fps. I know dota used to do this but there was a command to fix it, and that command doesn't appear to exist in cs go.

Again, just curious if anyone knows anything regarding this.

:eng101: aside from headshots, you do the most damage with stomach shots (with or without armor). This is also the reason that a scout is a 1hk in the stomach (but not the chest) against an unarmored opponent

I think originally the idea was that for armored targets a stomach shot should do more damage, since the kevlar vest will only cover your chest. However, when it was actually implemented in the game the code they took the lazy way of making the stomach shots always do more damage regardless of the player's armor.

No biological reason, that's for sure. Maybe because body armour only covers upper torso...? Even if some models don't even have any.

I've seen people up to double AK still buying body armor on 2nd round instead of a bunch of grenades, and it doesn't seem that bad an option. It probably would be less valuable if aimpunch weren't a thing, but with pistols people tend to get hit in the chest / shoulder area at medium long range even with good players.

When I say "that level of play", I mean actual pro teams, I even see pugstars on ESEA buying armor on the pistol round. I do it, too, because unless you're playing with some really good players you'll probably be glad you can take an extra few rounds to the body on pistol rounds.

CT side first round your objective is to survive and wait for your team not to trade kills. That's why you take a few shots, fall back and delay with flashes, take a few quick shots and wait for back up. You're going to get out shot 9/10 times at any level above silver. There are members of TEAMs that may buy body armor but they know exactly what their team mate is doing with their flashes/nades and they would peek first more aggressively. For unorganized MMs/Pugs just buy your nades.

I know man. It reaffirms the belief that most players are utterly terrible people. You go on thinking it might be an unfair stereotype, then you play with the general public and the game just beats you down for trying.

It's better for CT side because the P250 is hot garbage compared to the Five-Seven. T side, however, I agree with you. Shame I can't replace the Tec-9 with the CZ.

They've done a good job with balancing the alternate guns, though. You have to really think about your choices for a weapon slot.
