On a related note I've been practising a smoke on dust 2 from coming out of ct spawn to double doors on long a that pops more less the moment after you can peek that corner on the right but I'm not sure its worthwhile. A better thrower than me can it right in the doors which is awesome but I can only get it to block from like the barrel to the big blue dumpster. You can definitely cross into pit with it so you can have a crossfire going with the dude who stays on the corner but on the other hand they can get out the door for sure too. What I've been finding in the soloqueues is the corner guy will leave and let you get murdered alone in the pit if he can't peak the door opening directly so its been kind of a mixed bag because being in really early is sweet especially if they decide to push the smoke at all but it doesn't matter if the guy leaves because then they smoke the corner and jump in with you. Not really sure if its worth doing

Describe it. Do you throw on it the run?

The throws been around for a while. If you know the throw as Terrorist when you're taking long that smokes the CT cross, this smoke is pretty much the direct counter. To the left of Long A (as a CT) there's a building with (I believe) 9 windows, if you do a running jump throw off that building, you can get the smoke to land right in front of double doors. It's very handy, but jump throws are hard to do consistently.

Skills weren't carried over from Wex to the new server, right? The only reason I ask is because I was playing yesterday and noticed I was down to a paltry 1,200 points or so. Not a huge deal, as no one seemed to recognize me and I had a lot more fun being the newbie on the team, including making mcvey mad at video games. :vince:

That smoke can be useful as long as 1: you get to peek the door for a split second and 2: you're not inside the smoke when it pops.

That way you can try to kill the guy going for the pick and you/your teammate can cross to pit.

Are molotov and incendiary grenade fires different? Do they bounce differently?

Incendiaries can be thrown further and faster than molotovs. I don't think molotovs bounce, either, but I might be wrong. The only other difference is the price. Personally, I never use molotovs unless I pick them up off of a body. You're better off upgrading your pistol than you are buying a molotov on T side. The only time I think they're useful is if you're 1v1+ with the bomb planted and time's close to running out. You can flame the bomb, but that's about it.

edit: I'm wrong about bouncing molotovs, apparently. Wide angles will let you bounce it once, but if you throw at a narrow angle, it'll just explode on impact.

edit 2: There are a few nuances in this video I didn't know about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbDkyndlQGk

Incendiary nades do more damage to armor, while molotovs penetrate armor and do more health damage. Still, I think you're better off buying a P250/CZ instead of blowing money on a molotov.

That's what you get when you spend $400 on a bottle of alcohol and a rag.

No, the flame has no way to make it inside the bottle. Molotovs 'explode' on impact because the glass breaks and the liquid spills all over the burning rag.

Until you throw it, all you have is a dodgy-rear end paraffin lantern.

Load into a game as a terrorist, buy a molotov, hold down the button and tell me that flame would not advance. I mean maybe the poo poo wouldn't blow up but it's goddamn stupid that the fire just sits there. Also, while we're on the topic, please make the middle mouse button throw a knife and double the damage of all he grenades.

Its like what coleman was saying. You run from ct and throw when next to elevator while lining up your crosshairs with the left side of the bottom 2 windows. The jump will make it hit a bit below the sign the best result I can get. The way it works out for me is you can easily cross into pit with it because the smoke will go over the barrel handily or they will have such a small sliver to aim through they aren't making that shot outside the ultra high ranks. People who can do it better can get it right into double doors which is amazingly good because if they come out it means they are full blind and full of m4 bullets. The t version basically lands in the top of ct mid between elevator and the wall so you cross safely without getting awped from mid. Its a bit deeper into the space if you know what it mean

Anyway i thought it was worth asking about because I hate playing long a and I regularly end up doing so because other people end up calling the other spots, everyone wants to get that b spraydown, or insisting they are going to play there anyway and having an argument with some thick accented eastern European who thinks winning or losing arguments is related to cock size just isn't worth my patience or abandoning long completely because the second guy will leave immediately when he runs down looking at the flash or is denied a look at the awper who is going to decapitate him. Mega bad vibes in europe. Comparatively getting matched up on american servers is much nicer because people are generally easy going, don't backseat game you and don't bitch constantly when dead. I've never heard an american child playing cs which is just super.

I'm going to guess this is because you play at a late hour U.S. and somehow manage to avoid the psycho 24/7 cs players. Because I hear (literal) children all the time during eastern primetime.

I 100% believe in matchmaking luck when soloqueuing or with 2 people. You are totally playing roulette. Yesterday in the course of like 3 games we got matched with some Romanian child and some angry drunk from moldova, then against a lem with his "silver" friend and then as a bunch of novas we got to fight a few double aks. Today apart from in the goonman I got to play against a guy who could see through walls and smoke then spray a deagle at max firerate while running and hs 3 people. Then we got a smurf who was officially nova 4 who made the cheater look like a chump. He had legit stone cold solid aim and was really smart. However the day before yesterday things were fine and had some even fun games with a few blowouts in our favour. The day before that we were on the rough end of things but it wasn't unfair.

I don't give a gently caress how constructive or how much of a team-player people like this are, soon as I hear that poo poo they're muted. Makes the game way more enjoyable, especially when you consider that if you do something dumb or gently caress up, they're probably gettin apoplectic at you but who cares? Not you, cause you dont have to listen to it anymore!

Oh, don't get me wrong: if someone is raging in a hilarious way I'll egg that poo poo on and laugh at them, which only makes them angrier usually. But if I can tell if someone is going to be super annoying to even listen to one word out of their wouths (aka 12, spewing poo poo, whiney as hell, wont shut the gently caress up) then I'll mute them without blinking.
