Same, and now I am stuck with all these Vanguard cases that are worth so little it isn't even worth listing them on the market.

hold them and pray that when the operation ends the cases will be discontinued and eventually the price will spike (none of this will happen)

I got a field tested snake camo and a minimum wear emerald pinstripe, and a field tested P250 Franklin but just as a normal drop, not from a mission.

still not really worth it. Oh well at least I dont open cases

Ask your admin if BanMe^® is right for you!
^o^

I hate the ted9 more because it can be used more recklessly than the 57 and has armor pen and fire rate on par with rifles

It's cool dinking a pistol guy, usually a tec9er ,and they 1 shot you while doing cartwheels across the map

Or a single A pit to goose shot that drops you to red

I'm gonna say it again pisstols in this game are a problem and Eco rounds are a loving joke even before considering player movement

Release Notes for 3/31/2015

31 Mar 2015 -

[OPERATION VANGUARD]
� Operation Vanguard has come to a close.

[MAP GROUPS]
� Train has been added to the Active Duty map pool.
� Nuke has been moved to the Reserve map pool.

[GAMEPLAY]
� Smoke grenades are now more reliably kept track of on the client to prevent mismatches between smoke particle visuals and screen overlay visuals.
� Fixed players being able to double stack inside a smoke to peek out of the top (and be really hard to see from outside the smoke).
� Updated expiration of the smoke screen overlay to match more closely to the visuals of when the third person particles expire and vice versa.
� Updated the vertical position slightly of the smoke particles to reduce seeing though edges of the smoke (particularly at the bottom).
� Fixed spectator sometimes not getting the smoke overlay for the player they are spectating when that alive player is inside smoke.
� Improved spawnpoint selection code to not spawn at occupied spawn points or spawn points of a different team.
� Tagging values have been tweaked slightly to increase tagging on higher mobility weapons, and updated values for tagging on multiple hits to make it more effective (Added a guide to explain how tagging works: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412879303
� Increased price of the M4A1-Silencer from 3100 to 3200 to align the weapon�s price with its utility.
� Increased Tec-9�s damage fall-off to reward players that close engagement distance.
� Lowered Tec-9�s magazine size to 24 to reward more discriminate firing.
� Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers.
� The accuracy of the MP9, MP7, and Mac-10 have been improved.

[STATRAK]
� Trade up contracts work on StatTrak weapons.
� There is now a StatTrak swap tool available for purchase. It swaps the StatTrak value between two of the same weapon.

[SERVER BROWSER]
� Fixed the server browser showing the map workshop path in the �Map� column.
� Added a sortable column to the server browser to display whether a server is running a map from the workshop or not.
� Added a sortable column to the server broswer that displays icons for popular game mods running on that server.
� Server browser will save the layout changes made between game sessions.
� Updated the first time server browser pop up message.

[UI]
� Fixed scoreboard hiding at match end when you bring up a player�s Steam profile.
� Added a game option in team options section to control whether lobbies get created with public access or private requiring invites for friends.
� Added Flavor Text to the Bank collection.

[MISC]
� Add surround sound support (quad/5.1) on Linux.
� Marked nav commands as a cheat to protect against potential server exploits.
� Chicken kills are now logged in CS event logs on game servers including attacker and weapon information.
� HE grenade detonations are now logged in CS event logs prior to logging player deaths from corresponding HE grenade explosion.
� Added sv_reliableavatardata 2 game server setting for LAN tournaments production. In this mode the game server will load player avatars from corresponding csgo/avatars/76512345678-.rgb files (or csgo/avatars/default.rgb if the corresponding SteamID avatar is missing), and avatars will be recorded in GOTV demos. To produce avatars rgb files tournament operators can place 64�64 png player avatars as csgo/avatars/76512345678-.png and run the client-side command cl_avatar_convert_rgb to convert all 64�64 png files into rgb format.
� Optimized the process of logging in players to matchmaking backend during game updates.

[MAPS]
-Dust2
�Opened up skybox around Long A double doors, Catwalk and Short
�Improved visibility around blue car in Long A
�Fixed render distance on a crate in CT spawn

-Mirage
�Opened up skybox around back of apartments
�Simplified sides of CT sniper window in mid
�Raised cover slightly in upper mid
�Fixed visibility through a crate in Bombsite A

-Overpass
�Opened up and simplified Bombsite A
�Added back stairs to pit near Bombsite A
�Opened up semi-open door in bathrooms, fountain side

-Cobblestone
�Smoothed out movement in Bombsite B
�Removed corner on left side of T tunnel into Bombsite B
�Haystack near Long A now requires a jump to get on top

-Train (Thanks c0tton and adreN!)
�Various optimizations
�Removed collision at top of ladders
�Pushed Bombsite A further back towards CT side
�Added a third train car to A site to reduce amount of long sightlines
�Added a peek-position inside T main
�Opened up area on the left side of T main exit
�Moved dumpsters in Ivy
�Raised crane in Bombsite A
�Blocked extremely tight angle from lower CT ramp towards T ramp in Bombsite B
�Prioritized CT spawn positions

-Cache
�Fixed an exploit boost at A
�Added a decal indicating the boundaries of the A bombsite�s plantzone
�Made white tarps on crates more spammable (Thanks Mod645!)
�Fixed shadows casting into A main shed from boost spot
�Improved readability from middle to A site container

-Shorttrain

KingsPawn: May 23, 2006; E4!

I'm pumped about the Tec-9 change. It seems like every pistol round, the entire T team just buys t-9s and just swarms the CTS. Good luck defending B site on D2 with just a five seven,a flash, and a smoke. It's a good day.

Also, does anyone have any general tips for train? I haven't figured out the smoke spots yet and it's killing me (on both sides)!

They brought the tagging values back to normal which is what made SMGs so effective against bad players in the first place. Good luck either way though

I'll be honest I don't think tagging values are a nerf to SMGs at all, I read they increased tagging on multiple hits(who hits rapidly for lower damage? SMGs..) If I'm being shot with an SMG I'm probably already dead, the main advantage I get is hiding around corners and jumping out spraying you down before you can react.

^o^

Eh, the changes don't seem that meaningful to me. It sounds like the Tec9 is still OP at mid-close range and you can still get hosed by pistol tagging (and SMGs, which are now stronger), except now only slightly less?

I need someone to remind me how 1.6 tagging worked because I keep thinking it was based on what you were hit with (above the waist) and not what you were carrying. Or maybe it was equal across all weapons I don't remember. lol and CSGO still has grenade tagging, which is worse than weapon tagging

"Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers" --- OK cool keep nerfing aggressive AWPing. Why not do this for the scout instead? Leave the AWP alone unless youre going to buff it in some way, like improving quickscoping

I also don't know how you could reasonably change the silenced weapons to not make them super strong and almost always worth carrying over their unsilenced counterparts

SMGs, definitely in need of a buff with the games current mechanics hmm yes

In what terrible world do you live in where you think the AWP needs a buff?

The overpass changes seem good? Jumpup being turned into stairs seems cool and adding the extra stairs from bank to the heaven spot in b adds more rotation paths for cts. I'm interested to see how A takes play out now with it being wider open too.

The USP is a piece of piss to use and so is the M4A1-S i suppose but the latter at least has a counterpart with 10 more rounds which are quite handy. I can't think of a reason to use the p2k though.

I know you can quickscope now but it's not as fast or reliable as it I want it to be, especially when everyone in the game has rollerskates and the scout/pistols can pretty much do whatever

USP seems like a 1st round only gun to me personally, it's insanely good when no one has armor and I don't see why you wouldn't buy something other than default after that instead of the p2000

I use it cause the USP has so few bullets and I really don't like running out of ammo in pistol rounds. That's probably just me being bad though, silencers are amazing.
