I am a dumb cs:go baby who doesn't understand the angles and camera placement in this game at all

For some dumb reason the camera is on your character's right eye instead of being centered, so you're at a disadvantage if you're peeking to the left like that.

My problem was this and exactly what Smol points out, I should have stayed further back from the edge itself-- but I was in a pretty lovely position anyway. in my defense, I thought the way to short was covered by the dude on arches, but alas. How to hold angles is just one of the million basic little things to keep in mind in cs:go- beyond just knowing through experience what's the good angles for the given spots, I guess.

Also had a fun game where I won an easy 1v1 clutch. I was hiding near the bomb site when the plant came in. I start walking into the spot when a guy on my team writes "AFK in spawn" in chat and initiates a votekick against me. Suddenly the guy who planted starts macking a ruckus by bunny-jumping out of construction and I just own the poor guy on the way out. :angel:

In 1.6 and source the peek advantage was for the left eye. In csgo it's the right eye. It was never centered. This means that with proper positioning there are places where you can see the enemy before they see you.

It's a variable spot on the centerline of your face.

It isn't variable, it's always slightly to the right. 1.6 was slightly to the left.

The camera changes place on your model for sure. Watch the video.

The camera is in a fixed position (64 units high) but the models move depending on what weapon you're holding.

The camera is definitely off center and has been since 1.6

The new codec is better at capturing the quality of the really trashy mics people use. Before everything sounded like a mess and now there is actually a difference between good and bad mics.

I picked up a G500, lol, should have read more reviews because it is a hilarious failure in almost every way. I can't believe this would cost even 20 dollars; doesn't work on a flat black mouse mat, doesn't work on a wood laminate desk, just an unbelievable piece of poo poo. Returning it ASAP and going back to the drawing board on what mouse to pick up. Probably a zowie or something.

I watched a game he commented on earlier because there were no other games on at the moment. It was funny-ish the first time, and then he did it about 80 more times, and it lost its charm after the second.

Sorry you got a poo poo g500 sent to you, because mine lasted me 5 years before it finally succumbed to a shorted cord because of my neglect.

As far as I can tell there is literally no reason to use a laser sensor except that the word laser was cool in the 80s.

Honestly, I can see this being a good thing. It'd be good if they were able to find a diamond in the rough and bring up some hidden talent that is ready for the bigger stage. When you already have a relatively small pool of established players to choose from, the well runs dry real quick.

Yeah, honestly I don't think people should poo poo on that idea until it's failed. CLG isn't at the level where they can just cherrypick players from other decent (lol) NA teams. I imagine that in the US, as it is like in many other countries, that reaching a top team is more who you know than how good you really are.

I think you got a broken mouse or something then, unless they changed to a funky sensor later in the G500s life. I have a G500 that I got in early 2012 and a G5 from around 2008 and both of them have worked (and still work) without a problem directly on my desk surfaces as well as on black cloth mats like the QcK+.

g500 is an objectively bad mouse as far as quality mice go but frankly the difference between quality mice is overblown. I use a g502 which is pretty great.
