Question: "What do you think about the new AWP update?"
"I'm fine with it, nothing that affects me in the whole to be honest - Even tho it sucks abit with the autosniper ;)"

Question: "Do you think Valve i heading towards the right direction with the last update and former updates?"
"Yes."

Question: "When you can change one thing (only one) in CS:GO what would it be?"
"I have no idea, I like how it is now.. Pistols could be nerfed tho?"

Question: "What do you think is the most blatant problem currently in CS:GO?"
"I don't know to be honest, there has been alot of different updates since the begínning of GO - Some has been good, some bad - But in the whole general point of view, I think the most updates are fine. Like, I do like the new update even tho alot of people complains, but sometimes u have to just "adapt" on how the things are and be 'fine' with it if you ask me. I'd love to get back when you could actually run'n'spray update tho.. ;)"

Question: "What do you think about the current status of the competitive map pool? What is your favourite map, and your least favourite, and why?"
"I'm actually 'kinda' okay how it is now, even tho they have removed (train - best map before) and now nuke (my other favorite map) :((( But I'm really looking forward to see how the new train will be played, going to be cool. My favorite map before was cbble/cpl_fire and nowadays cobblestone! And the least one, Not sure to be honest. I don't like dust2 time to time!"

simple buff to rifles and also t side is double the accuracy on only the first tap of every main rifle (m4a4, m4a1, ak) and since the AK one taps it'll be a buff to T side while rifles will be better in general. Also 1.6 had much more accurate first shot AK than this game iirc. Would be a welcome change and I've heard pro players mentioning this in the past

I was just ahead of the curve with my run and gun P90 love. Right now it feels like MP7/P90 and M4A1-S are by far the best gun choices in most situations, AK if you can 1 tap but lol even pros can't reliably 1 tap AK in this game.

thats because the ak can actually miss with perfect aim a lot of ranges and the head hitbox is narrow

After only looking at your ace, I'd suggest that when you were running to A main and you threw that flashbang, I would have banked it off the left corner of the entrance to A main, that way it'll go in front of you and you can pop right in after it and take out anyone who might be caught off guard.

I'll take a look at your demo now since I'm bored.

TERRORIST:

Round 2: It's good that you were pre-firing those common CT rush spots in B, but your teammates were bad and had a lot of trouble killing that other CT and were all really hurt in the process. What you could have done better was when all of you were holding the site, you kept trying to peak out and get the last frag. Don't do this. It is now your job to protect that site, not get into a bunch of 1v1 battles. Make that last CT come to you and not the other way around.

Round 3: Use your ears. You can clearly hear that someone is pushing from B, yet you stand right out in the open waiting to get your head blown off, which you do. There were several corners that you could have used for cover, or even better yet, stay behind them and catch that pushing CT off guard and kill him as he runs by.

Round 5: I don't know what the hell you were doing on this round. Another save round (except for one galil...?), but instead of sticking with your team you decide to take a defensive position far away from the rest of them. You then see a CT coming from B, and I'm assuming you relayed that information to them, but what do you do after that? Nothing. You just ADAD back and forth in spawn and slowly make your way to B main after that CT flanks your team and kills one of your teammates instead of going to regroup. Once that is over you take the bomb with your hurt teammate to B and intend on making as much noise as possible, including shooting out vents for some unknown reason. All that's doing is alerting the enemy team to your position, as well as wasting precious round time for you to try and at least get the bomb down, which is the main objective of any eco round.

Round 6: I don't know why you feel the need to try and make as much noise as humanly possible. After coming up highway and making your way into A you come across an enemy with low HP. Obviously you both know you're there, but instead of trying to conceal your position that is very close to him in a 1on1 situation you just stomp around like a drat elephant. You're lucky that your teammate was there to distract him, because he could have easily taken your head off with a well placed pre-fire.

Round 8: You are broke as gently caress. Don't waste what little you have on a P90 when two of your teammates can easily drop you a rifle. Tell those shitheads that you need a drop so you can get armor and nades. You guys try to go for the A take, but the entire team just ends up sitting in A main and trying to trade kills and do a horrible job at it. Either you go or you back off and come up with another plan.

Round 11: You and your teammate (who had an AWP) had B site no problem. Now it's just time for you to hold it, but like I mentioned earlier you insist on trying to get out there and be the hero by getting kills when at that very moment is not your main priority. Because of this you got caught out in the open with two enemies firing at you and having to retreat, letting them converge on the site and kill your teammate, then kill you and get the easy defuse. STAY HIDDEN AND PEAK ONLY WHEN NECESSARY!

COUNTER-TERRORIST:

Round 16: This might not be exactly your fault as your dumbass teammates over in B/mid could be giving you bad calls, but you are floating too far away from A when it's obvious that the T's are going to try to take your site, and once you went to check on mid one too many times they rushed out and got control of it. Unless you see a bunch of enemies or bomb on radar, stay in your designated position.

Round 18: You got hosed hard by your dipshit teammate scouting in vents to checkers, so there really wasn't much you could have done. If that happens to you again then I'd try and flank hard through T mid to B main and see what you can do there to pincer them in and try and regroup with your team rather than putting yourself through the vent meatgrinder.

Round 19: You and your teammate had the bomb after a successful push through A main. After that smoke you should have set up a defensive crossfire rather than travelling all the way back to A and getting killed.

Round 24: Now THAT'S how you eco. Just keep doing that from now on.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

There are a lot of little things that you can do to improve your game, one which I will really harp on is STOP loving RUNNING EVERYWHERE! There is a Walk function for a reason and I don't think I saw you use it once. Every time you sprint like an Olympian all your doing is giving your enemies information as to where you are, so get some creep to you, for gods sake. Also, this is aimed at your team in general, but as T's you guys split up far too often, and even when you would get picks it would take forever for all of you to regroup and take a site, giving the enemy team ample time to rotate and gently caress your faces for taking so drat long. Also pay attention to your teams economy. You were broke on several rounds and instead of trying to get one of your rich teammates to buy you a decent weapon you throw your cash away on some dumb poo poo that you usually would end up dying with.

That's all for now. I'm sure there was more, but I'm tired.

I'm fine with letting people see their teammates' cameras, that doesn't provide new info and it's the same thing you could do if you were in a lan party. But having ghost enemies staring at you that you can't do anything about is kinda dumb. I've seen some ridiculous wallbangs happen because of that.

Technically you shouldn't be able to say anything because you are dead, so all calls after you die are ghost calls.

Once you learn to always fake the death cam of people you kill, it's just one more way to own the noobs.

Without any level of hyperbole I am drat sure this SMG buff is far worse than the Tec-9 buff. It is like playing CoD. Right now I would almost buy an MP7 over an M4 at the same price because of moving accuracy, tagging, and kill bonus.

It's the crouch-scoped-run glitch that came out in the latest update. Apparently you can crouch and scope in and you'll move at full speed (also something to do with moving at normal speed when anyone in the server crouches and faster when they stand up). So basically with the snipers you can zoom around like a goddamned facehugger tagging bitches left and right.

I don't understand all of the SMG hate here. Why should the entire group of guns be useless?

Nerf pistols; only one that should be able to one tap is the deagle. Reduce long distance accuracy of 5-7 and Tec9

Keep SMGs as-is. They should be the best choice for close-range encounters, and the current buffs make them that way. Get rid of the extra cash bonus.

Shotguns are fine. Keep the 300% cash bonus as an incentive over an SMG for close-range play.

Bunch of babbys in here. SMGs still take 4, 5, 6 rounds to take someone out. Any rifle will take a target down in 1-3.
