DeusExMachinima posted:Wouldn't a Silver 1 be as rare as a Global Elite or am I confusing Elo with grading on a curve? I've seen lots of Silver 2s, I have never seen a Silver I. I really want to see one someday, even at Silver 4 / Silver Elite we see teams that do poo poo like all buy Scouts without armor after losing pistol round, throw smoke at chokes and then immediately charge through it, and all sorts of crazy stuff like that. I think if I ever make it to Nova I'm going to miss the variety. I see all the guns in the game used very regularly in Silver, and frequently people just don't buy armor ever so free pistols remain incredibly deadly throughout the game.

a slime posted:I need four other people to purchase alt accounts with me for knives only matchmaking. We will find the Silver 1's, for we will become them Pretty sure you'd still be above silver 1. I play knife only all the time and it's really not even hard if you use grenades. I guess if you ONLY used a knife you might be able to make it, but I think you'd still have to try to be pretty lovely. At silver ranks it's pretty easy to close distance and knife people who literally cannot hit a moving target 20ft in front of them except for the occasional lucky spray.

reposting from McVeys twitter feed http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/03/07/building-crown-part-one-the-first-look-at-the-next-big-counter-strike-go-competitive-map/ Building Crown is a three part series from mapmaker Shawn "FMPONE” Snelling and pro Counter-Strike player/mapmaker Sal "VOLCANO" Garozzo, revealing the inspiration and building process for their upcoming map Crown. Their goal with Crown is simple: build the best competitive Counter-Strike map ever. In part one, Snelling dives into the inspiration for Crown's design and the essence of a great competitive map.

The creators of Cache have built a new comp-oriented map together, de_crown, and are running a three-part development diary on PC Gamer's site leading up to its release on the 18th. FMPONE posted:Cache also influenced Crown substantially, but not how you might expect. Because Cache places so much emphasis on its middle area, Volcano told me that he wanted to create a map that went in the opposite direction completely: a map without a traditional middle.

The Kins posted:a map without a traditional middle I generally find that maps without middles (at least in other competitive games) are very CT sided. The easiest way to balance them is usually to add forks for Ts near their objectives/bomb-sites, but CTs usually have an easier time rotating and pinning players down, and in a game like CS where kills are traded rapidly, it might be entirely ignored as a map due to how difficult it is to get a successful rush round. Either way, it'll be interesting to see what they make.

Xenaero posted:"a map without a traditional middle." Yeah that might be the only inventory that I envy. I have a lot of that stuff, stattraks of all the competitive weapons (a non-stattrak) knife that I love, but you have a lot of other poo poo. Like Xen, I don't have much of an issue with people that spend money on cosmetics, it makes it more enjoyable having something to strive for, I don't know that I'd outright buy 300 dollar guns, but I have no problem with getting keys to get lucky and what not.

I don't think I've ever heard it discussed in too much detail in this thread, and I never see any of the typical whining threads on the CS:GO posted about this spot, so I just don't understand what possessed them to make such an unnecessary change. Also, you're very wrong. It's a terrible spot to hold cat from. A good cat player plays UP on cat so that he can work in conjunction with both the mid and B players. Good CT players play in such a way that allows for easy and effective overlap. At the start of a round, B guy only has to watch tunnels, mid guy only has to watch mid, and cat guy only has to watch cat. But the second there is activity, you rotate into a position that allows for overlap. The mid guy might change his angle so that he can watch cat and give a headsup to the cat player. Or maybe there's action in B, allowing the mid player to rotate towards B double doors to help stop the push, and if that happens, the cat player needs to be in such a position where he can watch lower B tunnels mid AND cat to prevent the (now) two B players from being flanked from CT mid. The box spot on A plat has always been used as a "fall back" position, and not a "watch cat" position. If you get pushed on cat, maybe you get a kill and you fall back into the site. Then you can play it from several different angles. You're literally flipping your poo poo and shouting conspiracy theory over something THAT DOESN'T MATTER. Valve has been trying to balance any and all positions that are one sided. They removed the car peek at the top of banana on Inferno too, or are you not going to bitch about that because you didn't know it was there? The position on A plat allowed for a CT player to view an angle that was almost imperceptible to the Ts pushing up cat. Now you have to rely on aim and reaction time instead of hoping they don't see you. They have put more work into making CS:GO a competitive masterpiece than they ever put in 1.6 OR Source, and bitching about something so miniscule just makes you look like a tool. Learn to play better positions, and learn to play a better CT half and you won't need your little box peeks.

What would it take for cs_* maps to see serious play? Would a small adjustment of the economy be sufficient, or maybe completely different economy from de_* maps? Having multiple hostage rescue areas separate from CT spawn? How about special gear for the CTs to make breaching slightly less suicidal? Like having the riot shield instead of a hostage rescue kit, some kind of drone or peeking camera, or just a lot more flash bangs. Perhaps we should reverse the scenario and have the Ts liberate prisoners or grab bags of money like in payday?

cat with hands posted:Perhaps we should reverse the scenario and have the Ts liberate prisoners or grab bags of money like in payday? It would be "fair" if you divided the game up in to quarters where CT's and T's take turns capturing hostages/bags of money. You can't quarter 30 rounds though so game length would need to change to 28 or 32. It's an interesting idea for sure.
