So I'm using this training map to warm up and work on my various aim skills, and I was wondering.

There's this Training Map that places you at the end of a ridiculously long corridor with guys running toward you. Even with their movement toward me being fairly constant, I have a hard time clicking their heads at the farthest ranges. The small dot of my crosshair is bigger than their head at that range. Is there a trick to landing those kinds of shots reliably or is it more luck?

None of the rifles ever reach 100% accuracy iirc. At really really long ranges your aim can be dead-on and you'll still miss.

I always go for body shots with the awp, only time I try for the head is when wallbanging someone who is likely at 100 health, like people crossing doors on D2.

It feels like the Ak and the UMP both have ridiculous long-distance accuracies, though. (I've spent the past two days in Aim_botz)

When would I want to use the SSG 08? I never buy one and I don't see too many people that do in my games. It's an early round peashooter sniper rifle, right? Really cheap, accurate, you better get a headshot or hope they can't afford armor?

Buy it second round CT when you lose pistol on Mirage, run to B and jumpscout the opposing team to death when they rush.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Ernie. posted:

Well against a big ol' idiot it's super powerful. A lot of people will assume you're not a threat because it's a 2-hit sniper, but it's only 1 to the head. It's my favorite thing to flip a save round around. Just aim at head level and it becomes super useful.

Doesn't it also allow you to take accurate jump shots unlike the AWP? I vaguely recall hearing about that. So there's a bonus right there; it gives you more freedom of movement when sniping.


EDIT, gently caress, BEATEN. You guys post fast...

It is, which is why I didn't mention the jumping and shooting bonus that comes with it. Within a couple of patches valve will probably take that out, but that's not where its advantages end.

I sometimes buy a scout if I'm forcing and watching long A on dust, window on mirage, etc. Or if I'm watching those things alone and can't afford an AWP but don't want to gift anyone an M4 in a 1v4-5.

One time I bought one on round 17 Mirage as CT kind of on a hunch and killed 3-4 guys to win the round. I can't remember if we had won or lost pistol. Regardless they were angered and confused that someone bought a scout then and that's what it's all about.

Mac 10 counter ecos are still better than tec 9 counter ecos but both are drat brilliant

Scouts have their place, too, if you're aware of the shots you can attempt with it

Me and my brother do this as a legit strat every 4 or 5 rounds as CT on Nuke and it catches people out 90% of the time at MG2 level. Both P90, I go squeaky, he goes hut, if their team is going anywhere but outside it ends well

What was jumping accuracy like 1.6 ? I think its a bit lovely when the guy jumping has the advantage. Especially retaking A 1v1 on d2 from CT.

I stopped betting on csgo since it is so unpredictable. With dota2 you at least have only the variance of heroes being picked changing, apart from human factors like people just playing like poo poo. For CSGO betting you don't know the map typically or what side the teams will be starting which play a very very big part in which team will win.

for some of the bo1 matches sure, but for bo3 they typically do the map selection when the match starts and by that time bets are locked. I don't bet on bo1's at all since those are even more unpredictable. Maybe i'm just bitter over the matches I lost that should have been easy wins, but the team I bet on played like poo poo.

Since we're talking about accuracy, does anyone know how CS:GO calculates bullet collisions? It feels like it doesn't favor it based on trajectory of the bullet, but based on location of the target. Anyone know of any tests or knowledge on the matter?

No. This game is hitscan not trajectory based. If you saw a gif like that it was probably made in source moviemaker or w/e
