I played 1.6 for a couple hours a couple nights ago and the dude I was playing with was complaining the whole time that the movement and recoil mechanics were godlike and Go sucks

I have to admit the stutter stepping in 1.6 is really crisp and feels like you are coming to a stop, whereas in go you kind of slide and stop but the change is so gradual it feels like nothing happened

Looks like there's been a new massive vac ban wave. DMG here I come!

Apparently it was a hack that had gone undetected for a year or so, if one is to trust reddit.

I like to troll popular cheat providers IRC's. There is this one cheat that was undetected for over 2 years and got hit on the last wave a month or so ago. So the coder went in to private beta with 25 or so "trusted users" for 2 weeks Well last monday it went back to public release for anyone who buys a $35 a month subscription. The SECOND it went out of private beta everyone was VAC'd - like hundreds of people.
The coder is talking in IRC how his code is perfect and he has these savant coding skills and the only reason why it got VAC'd is because there is a "mole" in the community that works for Valve.
The icing on the cake is everyone is extremely pissed off and the coders reputation is ruined. People are doxing him posting pictures and FB pages etc.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Reasons you win a MM game:

10% - You were better than the opponents.
5% - RNG gods caused you to sponge bullets more effectively.
5% - Carried by a cheater.
80% - Enemy team torn apart by internal divisions.



Nice to see another VAC wave so soon. Schadenfreude boner is real. New VAC ban from two of my last games. Just wish they would make some kind of system to make it difficult to have more than 1-2 CS:GO accounts to play on MM with. It's the fact they are so disposable that's half the problem, imo.

The fact that even easy to find cheats like the one that got banned have subtle settings like hitting 70% upper torso aimbot etc. depresses me. Easy to find a wallhacker/aimbot/triggerbot, but that kind of aim assist is so hard to be sure of when playing against.

Just had a team kick me 5 rounds in while I was top fragging at 8 and 2. At least 2 of the guys clearly joined together and were annoyed that I told them off for attempting to full buy on the 2nd round. A third member of the team was 1 and 7 and spent every round trying to knife. They tried to vote me every single round, even before they got pissed at me.

I have never been vote kicked at any stage of GTAV online. Makes you think...

I have a friend whose skill level is probably about mg2-3, but he's MGE because he is loving amazing at tearing apart the other team. I like playing with him because probably every other game, he'll push the other team to the point of vote kicking one or more of their team off, or abandoning/surrendering entirely. I don't know how he does it but he's one of those people that is a master at getting under peoples skin.

I feel like using the sg instead of the ak gives me an edge in the mental game meta, as it has a tendency to drive people up the wall that you would kill them with a scoped weapon, you loving cod noob.

I'm pretty sure this is how Akumos got to eagle or whatever he's got to. Raging people out just from using the P90.
In the last round or two of the first half, if I've got the cash, I love to buy an auto just for the reason that getting a kill with it will often piss someone off to no end and result in several "loving auto noob" comments

Situationally, the autosniper is a legit amazing and super powerful weapon well worth the money. Like off the top of my head, with an autosniper you can hold ramp alone on nuke, can brutalize any banana attack on inferno or just have the easiest time on dd2 long

but that's the price you pay when you pug. When I do lose, it is indeed usually because there are a couple of guys who lose all confidence and stop saying silly things in mic because their b rush on mirage wasn't successful due to a guy there getting a lucky jump shot or something inane, but there are times where good games are played.

The Bizon is probably your best round 2 purchase, but never buy it any other time. P90 is perfectly viable on any round, as is the mp7.

The best games are ones where you are losing badly, then suddenly whatever the gently caress has been happening on the other team bubbles over and they all TK and kick each other.

Nothing concrete yet, just a truckload of rumors. I'm sure some of them are even true. But it sure sounds like it will be a bigass shuffle, especially since Hiko and Ska are joining the action.

Edit: Thooorin did say in the latest Counter-Points video that some CLG players will be jumping ship, that much is certain. So most likely it's tarik and/or ptr (their best players) joining a better team.

I love it when you're riding high on a comeback streak and you've maybe won some four, five rounds in a row, and the next one starts off with an enemy TK in spawn, signaling the start to their complete descent into uselessness.

On that note. When the enemy team surrenders, do you end up getting less points since there were less rounds played?

Pretty sure that yeah, which is why surrendering is good and you should surrender if you have had a leaver and are gonna lose.

That would also explain why you can get comp cooldown from kicking too many players - not just because of griefing, but because 4 stacks could continually minimise their losses by kicking their 5th and surrendering whenever it becomes obvious which way the wind is blowing.

Give it a little while and people will get bored of GTAV. They'll come right back to CS:GO to complain about how the latest minor AWP nerf totally ruined the game because now they can't ace the enemy team as easily.


And my god, people are using OTHER guns now? CSGO IS DEAD GUYS, HAVING OPTIONS IS DUMB! We are only supposed to use P250s, AKs, and AWPS.

Yup, you got it figured out, that's exactly what longtime players are complaining about :downsbravo:

Some transparency would be nice as well. Why they made X change and how that effects the meta that they're trying to establish etc etc. Instead it's just more skins, cases and stickers.

My only hope is that they're moving GO to Source2 and that will fix things.

tbh the whole silent treatment thing is valve's way of dealing with ppl's expectations (they mentioned this in raising the bar) in that they like reworking stuff constantly and if they promise something early on it might not happen at all. The thing is after the patch drops, why aren't they giving more info on their choices why arent they engaging the community etc.
