stranger danger posted:Is it possible to see the wear on the individual gun I'm thinking of buying? It seems like the answer is "no" and only the FN version comes up, but I've also seen stickers on people's guns When you're looking at the "Listings" part of the market page, below the price graph, you can mouseover the thumbnails and see an arrow in the bottom right. Click that and it'll give you the Inspect in Game link for that particular skin. Definitely worth doing if it's a more expensive skin, you can sometimes get higher wear levels that still look pretty good and save some money.

henne posted:Why do people do complicated lineups for smoke instead of doing a bind toggle for cl_showpos and just getting the numbers right? Instead of remembering a complicated "stand on this oddly colored spot on the ground, line up this edge and this tree branch you just stand at x=147.49 y=1.734 angle = 123 elevation =67 or w/e and its perfect every time? You actually made me go check if cl_showpos is cheat protected, I thought it would be But as complicated as you're trying to make those nade spots sound it's still easier remember those things visually than reference a set of 6 numbers (with the three angle ones needing to be pretty much exact). I mean if you really do your nerd cs almanac poo poo then you're not restricted to having visual references, go forth and find the sickest nade spots and report back the position numbers

henne posted:Yeah i have some handwritten notes for some smokes that I put on my desk when i play. Its honestly easier than trying to remember 5 similar lineups and since you don't have to use a refernce point you can throw them all from the same point. You can do the rough lineup like normal and then just adjust to 45.76deg x 73.1deg instead of try to keep you mouse from moving side to side as you slide it 8" while trying to remember if you line it up halfway between the 2nd and 3rd or 3rd and 4th grey bar from the left edge of the 3rd window. may god have mercy on your soul

Could there be a nade spot that has no visual references and can only be reproduced by coordinates, that is also a worthwhile nade spot?

That's odd because I did just that and couldn't notice a difference. Although now it looks like "etched" skins don't wear like more colorful skins, they just get darker which is why I couldn't tell differences in condition (I'm looking at the M4A1 Basilisk).

Yeah, there are some skins that don't wear in the same way other skins do. An AK-47 Jaguar field tested looks nearly the same as a factory new one, it's just a darker/slightly more faded shade all over. Some skins are great for when you want something that looks factory new but you don't want to pay factory new price.

Fuzz posted:So, I just played two rounds of this game. 2 rounds? I think you mean 2 games, old man Real talk, you'll never be a super sick CS gamer, but that's a dumb thing to aspire to anyway. Applying some tactical sense and learning how to aim/control recoil should make any player with eyes and hands above average skill. If you're playing matchmaking and getting your rank assessed, then don't expect to be playing with people of similar skill right away. Given that you haven't played in like a decade and a half I don't think it was realistic to break in and be good. Planetside is a different kettle of fish entirely. Knowing pixel perfect jumps and nades is the kind of marginal gains only needed to break the very top ranks. I'd consider myself better than 95% of players and I've never once looked up a nade throw or jump. Life's too short to give a poo poo, unless you're actually really trying to git gud. That said, lots of people have posted videos of that sort of stuff from a pro player called AdreN on Youtube, and have high praise. So check that poo poo out if you want.

So when you hit view community servers it shows you 3rd party servers right? And when you use the find game for me feature its using internal valve matchmaking and internal servers to host matches? I like the more casual and bigger matches but I don't like the extra money and no team damage, full armor every round. I want the atmosphere of a 12/12 server with the rules of tournament play is what I'm saying. Does anyone have suggestions for 3rd party servers that use rules like I want? I noticed the goon server is 14 max and when there's only 7 people on your team everyone is critical. I'm hesitant to join. I don't want to be a burden in a game I'm trying to re-comprehend. I'm realizing even though I spent hundreds of hours on the old maps the new textures really throw me off. I'f you go back and look at old CS videos the graphics were incredibly plain.[[[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhWgImLxM9o ]]] I never had a problem recognizing a target long range and firing on it but with the modern graphics I just can't pick them out anymore. I think I might have to concede that CS:GO is a type of game I just can't compete in. I'm going to keep trying I guess. I dropped 20 bucks on it at least and my computer can't run much else.

edit: ^^^^ The 14 player limit is for spectators, the goon server is for 5v5s. And if you suck, no one will care. There's a huge range of skill levels on sub.io. If you tell everyone you're new and are willing to listen to criticism people won't rage at you. They might yell, but just that's a heat of the moment thing.  stranger danger posted:That's odd because I did just that and couldn't notice a difference.

Yeah, a lot of skins that aren't decals to be scratched off get degrees of patina on them instead. Although they can still be worth looking at. On a Basilisk there probably isn't that much difference skin to skin, but if you were getting a Case Hardened AK or something you might want to check the different patterns.

You get used to the visuals by playing more, I read a quote from some pro saying it took him 2 weeks to automatically recognize the new player models. Dont worry about being a burden in a match. Deathmatch until you're comfortable with the mechanics and then jump into competitive matchmaking. You'll be matched with equally terrible players. You'll soon see the attraction of 5v5 competitive. Once comfortable hop in the goon server if you want. The absolute worse thing that can happen is someone will say "Wow dude you're bad". Remember the golden rule; everybody is terrible.

I took like a 10 year break from CS as well (except for following the competitive scene, as I had to cheer for some RL friends who were pretty successful internationally). Just keep playing, you'll re-learn the game eventually. I started in the silver ranks but after 30-40 match wins I climbed my way to MGE/DMG level.

I'm still getting my rank assessed and I've noticed a worrying trend that, whenever I personally do well (aka am 1st or 2nd on the board), my team either ties or loses. And then I get 4th on the board and we loving 16-0 the other team.

http://www.clanvpp.com/vppservers.html I play semi-regularly on this clans community competitive servers - I definitely enjoy some 12v12 games with the competitive rule set late at night or when I don't feel like committing to a full match. The skill level on community competitive servers like these is generally much higher than casual games so keep that in mind. You definitely need to work on learning 5v5, but servers like these are good for learning maps and trying out different CT spots etc.

My first match ever I lead the team with 28 kills and we lose by two rounds, second match we tie with me in second place with 21, and then when we 16-0 the other team I get 10 kills but got to buy a Negev before the final round of the half. Playing in silvers is magical.

My last game, we were 15-2, and the guy decided he wanted to play a little more, so he let the bomb go off. Didn't save the AWP, just stood on the bomb holding def kits and laughing in voice chat. We eventually won, but 16-10, which is quite a bit less comfortable. And we had to do it after a few eco rounds, since they wasted all our money, and most of the team had bought out for the match point. Magical indeed.

Came as a bit of a shock that you don't just plateau you can get significantly worse in the space of a few months. In other new this bad boy arrived today http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g502-proteus-core-tunable-gaming-mouse It hard to quantify these things but Id say my flick shots are at least 18% sicker and my reactions have never been less human. No but seriously the sensor on this thing is amazing after using a Naga 2014. (I like buttons)

I had the wired one of those, it worked pretty well until the middle mouse button stopped working. Now I use a Logitech M500 or something (Can't remember), it works just as well and is less than half the cost, IIRC. The moral is never buy anything with gamer in its name.

I have the wired version of that now. Only mouse I can use, thing is so freaking comfy after you get it set right. The buttons do tend to die a lot though, requiring me to break it down and clean it more than an m4a1. Works fine for another 6 months after that.

Is it just resetting the spring tension on the microswitches? I've had to do that three times for my Trackman at work, and I've gotten pretty drat good at it, so such "maintenance" probably wouldn't bother me. Then again if it was an easy job I'd probably source some more robust microswitches and replace whatever poo poo Logitech is using. Why did Logitech have to start being poo poo? I've never had anything but Logis since their very first three-button mouse back in the heyday of Wolfenstein3D and Doom.

When I have to clean the thing, it's mostly just to get dust out of the switches. Open the thing, blast it with compressed air directly on the switch, close it up, done. Works like a charm.
