Probably one of the best CS matches I've ever seen. Titan threw so many rounds on CT, clearly frustrated after their game against VP. Then that final round, effectively timed themselves out of the round by waiting for HR to slip up.

srsly tho, if you're not literally pro tier the UMP and P90 are legitimate pick ups. My little brother regularly outshoots rifles and AWPs at range with an UMP at double AK tier, and will almost always get the kills when clearing a site because of the movement advantage.

No they are not. Anywhere after Silver3 you're going to get schooled by a rifle 90 times out of 100.

I mean, we're not global elite or anything but my little brother and I regularly take turns acing the other team with UMPs/P90s at double AK / AK with laurels. Most people that aren't hacking at that level can't consistently one tap someone with an AK or M4 and can't follow the burst pattern close up. This might change at global elite or something but from what I understand the global elite queue has a bunch of hackers in it anyway.

At range the rifle will win of course, but close up it's easily 60/40 the SMG, and at mid range it's only like 40/60 in the rifle's favor. If you're losing to a rifle with an SMG 90/100 at any range the problem is probably in your reflexes, not the gun and you'd have lost 90/100 with an AK.

I don't agree that the Ump holder ever has an advantage over someone with a rifle. That's just nonsense. Every rifle outperforms the Ump at every stage of the game.


With that said, the Ump IS a great cheap weapon that does pretty good headshot damage and is fairly accurate if you one click it. It's definitely a decent weapon that is worth using in some situations, sometimes against rifles. I still think the odds are in the rifle's favor, even close range, but that's going to be the case no matter what if you are having to partial buy something.

Yeah I'd love to see some of these demos where you guys are just stomping all over MGEs with these Umps and P90s. I mean you seem to be under the impression that M4s and AKs are incapable of spraying. If a decent player has an AK or an M4, and somehow you manage to actually get up close to him, he's going to spray you down, and the sheer power of the rifles over any SMG is still going to win.

Unless of course your description of "most people that aren't hacking" is anyone that can't kill you when you have an Ump or P90.

Umps are fun, cheap, and accurate. The spray is easy to control if you do it in bursts, too. But I will always choose an M4/AK over it if I have the choice (and if my ping isn't bonkers). It's also awesome to be able to move so fast with a weapon that can shoot long range decently. Also, 600 mutha fuckin dollars baby

The difference in movement speed between the UMP and an M4 is negligible (it's the exact same difference as movement speed with a knife vs a grenade).

I'm considering it against second and third round options (because I will buy an M4/AK if I am able). I'd rather UMP than Famas/Galil/other poo poo since I can spend the difference on grenades and have some savings left. I also crouch like a scrub so my ideas are probably wrong.

The only really viable position for SMGs is second round after a pistol win. And then you have to hope the other team hasn't bought head armor. At any other point in the game, you would need a combination of factors in order to warrant buying an SMG. 1: you'd need to be 100% positive the other team was on an armorless eco, 2: you'd need to not have enough money to afford armor, rifle, and grenades. And the unlikeliness of the latter situation ever occurring (knowing the other team is on an eco AND you're too poor for a real buy) means it's likely never going to happen anyway.

I tend to keep the UMP if we win the first two rounds. I ditch it for an M4 as CT as fast as possible, but on T I keep it until I die so I can get full grenades and to avoid giving the CT a free AK if they save for the third. I have this mentality that I need to have grenades all the time and that it's better to save for the team and use a shittier gun (since I have nades) than to worry about getting myself a nice gun. I'll gladly ditch the UMP after I kill someone with a better gun though. I'd rather take an UMP one round and drop an AWP for someone than roll with an AK each round. Maybe I'm too giving. Also it's in Nova games so UMPs actually get me kills heh
