Would changing resolutions affect my mouse DPI? I just went from a 2560x1440 to a 1920x1080p, and my sensitivity seems a bit too high now. I am just not sure its a placebo or do my new lower amount of pixels in my new resolution actually affect my DPI, and make my mouse travel quicker over what used to be more pixels?

sleepness posted:Would changing resolutions affect my mouse DPI? Definitely matters. For example, set your res to 1024x768 and watch how weirdly it acts. It's not like your resolution affects your dpi, it's more like your resolution has less dots total, so your Dots Per Inch is the same but it covers more ground in the same movement.

Got my first duplicate drop today, a nice battle scarred that works really well with the color scheme and I think it looks much better that my first sandstorm. I am in love with this skin and have been dming galil all day.

The OP has plenty of good tips concerning defensive tactics on various maps but I couldn't find much in the way of attacking strategies, are there any good posts on this subject in the thread that I've missed? Attacking on Dust (I) and Mirage in particular seem to elude me and it feels like the defenders on those maps have a huge advantage.

To me, attacking on mirage depends heavily on being able to control mid and/or knowing some good smokes/flashes to take a site. If you can break mid open then you've got a lot of options. A site has a lot of angles to cover when you're breaching, but there's two or three smokes your team can throw to make it a lot easier: you can cut off CT and the tunnel from window or connector itself and limit where the CT can setup without getting prefired. If you're feeling really ambitious you can learn to smoke off quadbox, which is challenging, but feels great when you finally land it. There's two easy smokes for B site that can be thrown before you enter high B to block off couch and window. Then all you have to worry about is someone sitting in high B/on the white van which isn't too hard to deal with. Some of the smokes I mention aren't essential, but if your team's DMing skills aren't up to snuff they can make the difference. At the very least being able to smoke CT on A and window on B help close some of the angles available to defenders on the site. Once you take a site, then the CTs are stuck attacking a bomb site that's difficult to breach. And again, if you can take mid the smokes aren't as important, but taking mid is a lot easier if you can smoke off connector and window! I like mirage, it's a great map with a lot of interesting strategic options. In matchmaking, though, it does feel like you run up against CS veterans who have been playing the map for years and it's easy to get crushed when you aren't as familiar with it (like my friends are as we're trying to branch out away from inferno/train/nuke). It goes without saying but with any attacking being able to flash well is incredibly important. I'm still struggling to get my flashes to pop as soon as they enter the room I'm trying to breach, and most of the time they're ineffective as people have time to turn away. Or I'll end up flashing myself because I'm an idiot. So that's something I have to figure out. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Mar 20, 2014 |

Alright, I'm officially done opening cases. I never get anything that isn't in terrible condition and a common weapon. Huzzah for something that I can buy on the market for .14 that I payed $2.49 for. My luck is too terrible to ever win at gambling. Sorry for my rant, but I've never been lucky opening any Valve case and it seems like this isn't changing with Counter Strike.

I bought the Phoenix pass, and it paid for itself and more after I sold the first Phoenix crate I got. Several Phoenix crate sales later I have a lot of neat looking Stat-trak skins that probably would been a hundred dollars or more of opening crates, and it ended up costing me $0.

Yeah I long ago gave up on opening cases. On that note... I will trade like 5 cases for some cool looking AK skins. They don't have to be worth anything. I really like that one with the red wood grain.

Miltank posted:Selling Phoenix cases is where its at. Ive made money off my purchase of CSGO/Op phoenix Yeah, that's how I got the money to open the cases I've gotten recently. So while I technically didn't loose anything for it, it is extremely frustrating getting yet another field-tested common item.

Eyke posted:while I'm at work and cant test it myself. Does anyone prefer 4:3 resolution to 16:9? I'm considering trying it to help my old man eyes. 1: they will never have a blind angle because their teammates will be watching those sides for them. 2: if someone comes at you from the side (where you might see them on 16:9, but wouldn't on 4:3) that they would kill you before you could turn and react anyway. Both of those are valid points at the pro level, but at the level we all play at, I would rather have the extra peripheral vision that 16:9 offers, because there are plenty of people that wont be able to kill me from the side whether they have the drop on me or not. I play at 1600x900 partly for the boost in FPS, partly because it feels smoother running that than native (which I guess could also be from the FPS boost.)

Your edit: pros play in 4:3 and less than native res so that they are always playing at a high framerate using a consistent aspect ratio and resolution no matter what poo poo lan hardware they have to use. e2: oh i was wrong, your vertical FOV is always the same but not horizontal astr0man fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 20, 2014 |

The past 2 weeks or so I've made great improvements I think in my consistency. Normally the hardest think for me to do is even make out the head at long range. I won't lie though I've saved myself countless times from the 16:9 resolution seeing something move and flick shotting them
