after struggling to comprehend what you meant because of how poorly you constructed that sentence, i've concluded that my post hurt your feelings because you're bad and don't like cbble. is this correct?

The reason cobble is cool is that it's a different play-style due to being one of the few T-sided-ish maps. Also drop room is really fun and both sites are pretty fun to take or defend. I don't know why you wouldn't like it.

Tips for Nova 3 and up?

Working on : Aiming, rotation times, and nades

Anything I'm missing? Also what is like the best aim map there are so many but I don't know if any are more helpful that others.

Also what am I doing on an aim map? Is it just head click practice or what.

Check for am_blahblahblah maps. Anything starting am_ is an aim map and the servers they're played on are typically 1v1 arena servers. Its very fast paced and excellent for your aim. If you play even 15 minutes of aim maps a day you'll be DMG aim in like a week.

Getting those first 4-8 bullets in a spray down is pretty much key to out-shooting other novas. I notice a lot of novas trying to tapfire thinking it'll make them more accurate, but they're firing too fast for the recoil to reset and as a result bullets go all over the place.

Nobody seems to have posted the patch notes, so...

quote:

[ MISC ]
– Fixed smoke rendering exploits that were possible when running certain video capture applications.
– Fixed rare issues when equipping the same loadout item for both teams.
– Fixed an issue where the list of tournament matches would not refresh.
– Added official game servers cluster in Atlanta.

[ SOUNDS ]
– Added new carpet footstep sounds.
– Tweaked sounds of suits when running to synchronize with footsteps.

[ MAPS ]
Overpass
–Made first train event predictable, train will start 10 seconds after Ts leave their spawn tunnel
–Implemented area sound for train, can now use sound reliably throughout B site to hide grenade sounds, footsteps etc.
–Fixed a see-through texture near Bombsite A towards upper park

Dust II
–Fixed 30 exotic spots where C4 could get stuck

Also, not in the patch notes...
- There's now a new sound for night vision goggles turning on (The off sound is still from CS:S)... what could this mean?
- The C4 explosion noise has been redone, to be beefier and more realistic.
- The 2015 Service Medal that you can get when you prestige at profile rank 40 is now in the files, and apparently ready to be claimed.

I got from nova 4 to mge in 29 wins largely due to aim and spray control and like 2-3 pop flashes a map

Tap shooting in GO is something you do with certain weapons; bursts are key at most ranges with rifles.

Up until MG just pop heads better and burst better. Hell, it'll probably carry you futher.

Also, on CT stay alive at all costs, and on T if you're going somewhere, go with purpose and without fear.

Learn to use nades; you're gonna need them more and more as you gain ranks. The best way is to buy them every round and try using them as much as you can; sure, many of them will be poo poo/worse than useless, but you'll learn. If you want to be fancy, learn a couple popflashes, you're basically a Nova god with that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQZdjfyLMyE <- the long pop flashes are amazing for CT side. You can get a nasty spraydown easy during a rush.

On dust2, there are a few very useful smokes. This adren video is more advanced and you don't really need to pay attention to rotate tips at this point or whatever, but the smokes for T side strats/retakes are great and will let your team bust into sites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce88AIWbki0

Very simple tips that will get you out of novas for sure.

Apparently! There's sounds in the player/footsteps/new folder that I'm guessing were added recently-ish for the player's clothing/equipment foley as they move around. It's even different audio for CT and T sides!

Somebody crunched some numbers on a guy who's opened thousands of cases:

Blue: 80%
Purple: 16%
Pink: 3.2%
Red: 0.64%
Knife: 0.16%

Simple logarithmic scale, I guess it makes pretty good sense. Now you work out your knife odds and cry/celebrate.
