See higher sens works. Lower doesn't. I think lower is a scheme from all the other players to gimp everyone else. It's a huge scheme.

i feel like you want your sens as HIGH as you can without it being too high, not as low as you can without it being too low. the advantages of low sens are mostly seen at long ranges, but if you have decent mouse control, you can do the same stuff at long range, while still being able to do snap 90/180 turns at close ranges

I'm GN4 right now and it's difficult to figure out why some people call plays like they do. I just had a guy on cache insist that we push mid to A. We're vulnerable anyone holding mid-doors and sandbags, then we have to fight through anyone holding backsite, highway barrels or upper into A. Don't get me wrong, the glock owns but it's wildly inconsistent at anything more than 20m.

Playing pistol FFA really, really makes you realize how insanely good the USP is at any range but point blank. Even then it's more than serviceable. That said P2000 for me :allears:

Generally speaking taking control of mid on cache for T pistol is pretty vital. However, to take it you generally should have someone smoking mid / flashing you either into vent or up highway.

I am personally fond of mid to a on pistol round cache. You usually see a 2-1-2 split on cache, and the rotate from b to a is slower than a to b. If you smoke doors, you have to usually just deal with toxic and quad, and if you do 4 mid 1 squeaky you can flank them out. Even if you don't smoke mid it usually comes down to a 4v1 on the mid dude where you should be able to get him before forklift or truck guy gets to highway. Basically, the idea is that you avoid crossfire by good timing.

mid control on every map is essential, provided the map has a 'mid' i.e. not nuke

cache and mirage are perfect examples, as teams that shy away from mid tend to lose

If you are going mid on cache you probably want a tec9 and a smoke. If CTs don't smoke garage you should be able to run out and get a pick pretty easily. And then most of the time highway to A is open, though sometimes B can be the better choice if CTs rotate too quickly.

live closer to the server. 7 is pretty fantastic, I live just outside of NYC and I don't even crack 12-15 ping to NYC servers.

50-60 is pretty standard, when you start getting up toward 80 and above you're approaching non-ideal territory.

To limit your ping settings, if you're playing on official servers, type in your console:

mm_dedicated_search_maxping xx (where xx is your desired maximum ping)

I used to play on a server with 4 ping in 1.6.

70-80 is when things still play alright but you will notice a difference, anything above 100 feels like poo poo to me. However, at 200+ it comes full circle and becomes so weird its fun.

Fair. I feel like all of this is requires at least a partially coordinated effort which sure as poo poo isn't happening in GN4 pugs.

I'm going to start considering my pistol buys a little more though instead of armor every time. Blindly doing anything, especially in pistol rounds feels like a mistake.

P250 Smoke Flash in pugs has been my go to as of late in pugs. As GN's generally are kill hungry a good alternative is smoke and tec-9. Just monitor what other people are buying. Its definitely good to have 2-3 armored up people, but those smokes are pretty much vital on every map at every rank... Except silver, gently caress silver.

200+ is how we learned to play CS, back when I had dial up internet in 2001. We also had LAN cafes everywhere in those days so it was this weird jump between the two; high latency and ultra low latency with nothing in between.

Now I'm going to go off and play some assault and militia on my 17" CRT.
