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

From what I've learned from the thread, only a few people here like playing comp Inferno (myself included). It's a good map, but it needs a helluva lot of teamwork in order to clear out the nooks and crannies on both sites.

I got stuck at LEM as well and feel like I've been getting worse lately, so I am taking a break from playing this game. CS isn't something you should burn out on, and sometimes taking a break can be good. Just doing some surfing now and then. Oddly my performance in deathmatch was going up but in competitive it was going down.. Hopefully this doesn't mean the headshot only servers are bad, because I find them a lot more fun than regular DM.

Inferno shines in games where teams have defined, practiced CT and T side roles, like entry, second entry, support flashers, and everyone knows where to check even if one or more of the entries is dead

Then you have a variety of spots first contact and mop up CT side guy can play

And for T side you know a bunch of timings and grenades

If you don't have all of this, it's kind of a roll of the dice if 5 randoms will be able to check the right stuff together or rotate well

Meanwhile cobble, overpass, and cache have just the right amount of spots to be fun in a pub while not having too many, and dust2 is a very aim heavy map

Inferno is my go-to, and teamwork is #1 on it for sure. I can make B happen by myself about half the time because I've practiced it incessantly, but I'm either super low or dead by time they're in site so it's up to them at that point.

actually you're wrong and overpass is not fun ever

my pugging fun potential ranking is d2, cache, --long abyss before any other maps--, cbble, mirage, inferno, overpass, train

not by coincidence that's also roughly in order of ct sidedness (with the exception of overpass which is more t sided than inferno and mirage but also more bad)

I also just surprised myself with how high I ranked cbble seeing as how I personally like mirage a lot more than I like cbble

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Overpass is a great map, and the best new map in CS:GO by a country mile. For casual play, d2/cache/mirage is pretty much the standard pool though.

Overpass is a good map. The connector and bank-balcony areas took a little getting used to but it flows really well.

nuke is being reworked, fire and mill belong to cal so they aren't coming back without major reworks, like brute's fire which is on the server.

Headshot only is alright, but be careful. Spraying is a huge part of the game as well.

I've always wondered why they were able to do strike --> mirage but neither of the other two. Mill is a really good map and cs:go should make a full remake of it.

mirage is different enough from strike that it isn't subject to claims from the cpl. mill is an awful map!!! stop liking mill.

If mirage is different enough then they can definitely make mill "different" enough without any real effort or change to the map imo. Mill rules and always has ruled.

I agree with you guys about inferno. If the other team knows all those weird smoke tricks it makes it a lot harder and I have to play weird spots to get flanks. I'm only gold nova 2 so even if they are smoking I can out shoot them.

Other than that I like most of the maps that were in source. Never played nuke though my computer could never handle big mals

The reason I practice in head-shot only dm is even if you spray you can try to get it really tight since the target hit-box is so small and dodgy

Try going into head-shot only dm and bursting 4-9 rounds while tracking the head. It's fun

My biggest issue with HS only DM is that you can't really practice with the M4 unless you like being at a huge disadvantage in every fight.

As my point was before, if they haven't come after them for the official map that is mirage they sure as hell aren't going to come after them for an official map with a layout similar to mill or fire. Unless you are a crazy person and think the mirage layout somehow is drastically different than what strike was (it's not).
