The amount of negative utility a bad player with a mic has is amazing. They will seriously call "ALL LONG" and I will get killed from a dude at B rotating within seconds of the call. If you have a mic, for the love of all that is holy, report the actual number or underestimate if you aren't sure.

Frank sent me.
My first goonmans memory is mini asking "Long? What long? How many long? All, some? 'Long' is not a call." Comms is important, although I recently listened to some comms from Katowice pro teams and they weren't exactly what I was expecting. There was a lot more pep talk and planning than actual in-game calls, but I guess generally they're paying a lot better attention to where shots are from and depending on who was killed, where that was.

On the topic of calls, if you haven't fixed your radar settings so that you can see the entire map, for the love of god go do it. It helps clarify people's calls so much.

Can you give a rundown of the appropriate settings and their console commands please? Since it's not in the OP.

cl_radar_always_centered "0"
cl_radar_scale "0.3"
cl_hud_radar_scale "1.15"
cl_radar_icon_scale_min "1"
cl_radar_rotate "1"

I c/p'ed these from some site, the only one I've thought about changing is the last.

I don't remember giving comm tips like that tho, and if I have to guess that's probably mcvey (because long is definitely a call and he just likes to whine)

"Long" is the call when you want someone to know that long is one of the areas on dust2.

NIP comms were fascinating. Everything is said calmly and usually just once. A huge amount of pep talk at start of the round, i thought that was really cool.

Yeah and gently caress off with calls like "Long" and "B". Is it that hard to say "3 B with bomb"?

I have a normal set of vars for it, and when I bring up my scoreboard it also zooms out the radar so I can see everything.

bind "TAB" "+details"
alias "+details" "+showscores; cl_radar_scale 0.25; cl_radar_always_centered 0"
alias "-details" "-showscores; cl_radar_scale 0.5; cl_radar_always_centered 1"

Tweak to your tastes, but I find it's very helpful to have a slightly zoomed out from defaults version for more finesse while having a quick way to check the entire map for question marks or enemy dots or a dropped bomb

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Decided to try CS:GO again. Does anyone recommend warming up on maps like this?

deranking is actually good because you get to poo poo on fools for a little while, why the gently caress complain about it

This is a pretty flashy popflash I've started using on cache. Maybe you too should use it, only with better timing, aim

What's the appropriate call if you hear enemies but don't know how many or anything? "Footsteps"?

Just call "one" because you know there is one for sure and everything else is speculation.

prom candy posted:

I usually call "steps b". sometimes it's pretty clearly a full rush, and then its pretty safe to say "rush b." I try to be as specific as possible, so if they're spamming AK shots through the smoke and I hear footsteps I'll say something like "steps b, spamming through smoke"

I also call nades and stuff, especially if they've used 2 or more smokes specifically for a take (like if they smoke off quad and truck on cache A, it's probably time to rotate).

I hate hearing "they smoked mid" on maps like cache. tell me if they smoked mid at highway or if they smoked Z connector or if they've laid down smokes for a vents rush...

If it's one, call one. If you hear more than one at the same time say at least two. One could be a lurk but two means it's either a split or a push. Both ways it's solid info.
