I have a blood tiger as a backup for my cyrex for when the game goes on sale and I buy an unranked account along with 3 more so I can teach my real life friends how to play like a Gold Nova Master. I think it looks pretty cool.

loving hell, I stopped playing back in March, came back a week ago or so. Reranked up to Silver Elite despite leaving at Silver 4. Now I'm up to Nova 3. Not only this, I'm loving becoming the poo poo I always hated; a loving AWP rear end in a top hat.

Even though I'm "better" than I was at a Silver 2 when I started playing competitive for the firs ttime I still have no loving idea how to retake either B or A on Nuke.

I like the crummy common skins way more than most of the really flashy ones. Plus people have so many of them that you can go on a server, beg for a skin, and someone will eventually give you one because they only sell for like 4 cents or something. Like the Urban DPAT m4a4 I got off some random dude in a DM server looks way better than most of the rarer skins I've seen.

E: that reminds me, is there a way to set a weapon so that it shuffles between the skins you have available for it each time you die?

I typically agree. The only ones I really like that are worth more than a nickel are P250 Supernova, M4A1 Guardian and the AK Laminate series. It always blows me away that people will pay $50 for a skin that looks worse than the default. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Admittedly some of them are so gaudy and garish that they start to look kind of good.

Go bizon exclusive, you will still kill everyone but have the SMG moral high ground.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

Not just cos that can happen, but throwing the smoke lower down helps because it blooms fast enough for you to cross with stopping.

ive been thinking about this recently and thinking what if you could come up with faster triggered smokes
like say you want to smoke stairs in mirage from t. Could there be an alterate throw where it falls with less vertical velocity? would the time saving even matter?

For some things it's a big deal, but I don't think that stairs on mirage is one of them. The only point in it is in conjunction with other smokes in an A take, so it doesn't matter so much if the rush is telegraphed by the obvious smoke bouncing in. Playing A on mirage, you'll see the smokes come over before they even touch the ground.

The only reason I can see for a very fast stairs smoke is for the benefit of somebody trying to pick from palace.

no yeah i know i was using it as an example cause i can't think of other slow to land smoke but i imagine if you could find alt faster smokes for site takes you could improve "THE META!!!!!"

I've been helping out/teaching some very basic CS stuff to a few new players, and their biggest complaint so far is that there isn't a casual competitive, other than the public servers

I have to agree.. Casual mode is just a flop, I see where they're coming from (A more relaxing version of CS) but the clusterfuck that is 12v12 and the ruined pistol rounds aren't fun for most.

Searching community servers for ones running comp settings is as close as you can get, but a lot of them it feels like you're almost exclusively shooting silvers with the occasional pubstar breaking the server

Ideally they'd replace Casual with 5v5 competitive except unranked, have a softer, stealthier ranking system so people don't get as crushed (but with broader skill ranges), and then instead of ranking people in competitive with the current system, have them play like 40-ish casuals on new accounts.
