So just wanted you guys to give me some feed back on things to work on. I played a lot of gun game and arms race and have no trouble doing those games. Competitive is a whole new beast. I'm not ranked and have been MM till I get ranked so I can play with some friends. This was a terrible match where no one communicated. I know my cross hairs fall towards the ground sometimes and I'm trying to be consensus about that. What else can you guys rip me a new one on?

I will enter you under a harsh apprenticeship of no less than two decades of back breaking counter strike. You want to learn to play properly? HAH. First you must train for a year on de_rats with only an MP9. Then we shall know if you have the swordsman spirit necessary to perfect your counter strike skills.

the deagle is the essence of counter strike... it can be purchased at any round.. it requires patience and precision.. if you cannot be global elite with the deagle, why should I even graduate you to making eggs buying rifles and grenades?

What are you supposed to do when you get a poo poo weapon like a shotgun, and the map has nowhere you can get within melee range so you can use it?

Is this map CTF-Face? Play a corner or multiple corners and shotguns kill from a long way away.

a.) disconnect from the arms race server you're in or
b.) don't buy shotguns or
c.) find a good angle and camp it you nerd

It's demolition, on bank. I can't find any camping angles because going inside exposes you to the windows.

i would never buy one unless i had a very specific idea for what to do with it.

if your team is buying, get an m4/ak/awp. if they're saving and you have more than nothing, get a p250/5-7/tec9, possibly armor. if it's a force, whatever you can afford and are most comfortable with.

e: and even if knew a very specific angle i wanted to hold for $1200, the nova can sometimes do 84/1 on a headshot, so i'd probably just get the 250 for $300.

ohhhh yeah that's kind of a poo poo map. I try to rush up to ladder or use the semi for cover to run garage or use the market to sneak around. Definitely don't run straight up to the windows.

It's the only gamemode I like. 5v5 is just the right number, and the rounds are nice and short. You don't end up having run all the way across the map to the other site, and there's less time trying to hold a position no-one is attacking.

There's loads of places to hide with a shotgun on Bank. Both side buildings are pretty close quarters, and rushing straight for the ladders puts you in pretty close proximity. Bonus because you can kill people in mid-air/on ladder with shotgun nice and easy. If you're in the middle building just crouch behind a wall and wait for the inevitable.

Demolition is a pretty chill gamemode, I quite like it. It's the only Valve gamemode where there isn't an obviously superior alternative readily available.

I did that, camped the corner near the entrance to the main building, but someone came from the side building and was too far away to get with the shotgun.

If you're T look to the left, there's a building there, run all the way through it and come around behind the CTs and shoot them.

If you're a CT, look to the right, there's a building there, run all the way through it and come around behind the Ts and shoot them.

For some reason nobody ever looks over there to see if anyone's coming.

Senpai! Seriously though. Train me to be one of your porn CS masters. I've got another game with a well communicating team on cache where we roll over the other team if that makes it easier to see my mistakes when working as a team.

Just focus on having fun with the game, trying stuff out, and finding your settings when you're starting out. Once you feel a bit comfortable you can do stuff like go into an empty server or that one recoil custom map and learn some movement and gun mechanics, how to stutter step, how to do the 9 round bursts, how fast you can tap, et cetera... After that, you can do some DM (Regular, Headshot Only, or Pistol Only) or some 1v1 arena servers to practice your aim if you want, but don't do this if it isn't enjoyable for you. You can also watch some youtube videos which are not bad guides in this year 2015 for dumb things like video games. Adren and Steel have pretty good game knowledge, and have a bunch of guides on a variety of stuff. Then in game you can focus on one aspect of the game at a time, like using grenades well or taking good angles.

Here's a video on the recoil mechanics:

Two on crosshair placement:

Grenades:

And there's probably more but who gives a poo poo stop playing video games

Gunna edit in another video for brand new players, you really need this one and crosshair placement just to play the game without a lot of frustration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW7GwTWw0tQ

basically counter strike will send your bullets to the moon if you don't know how to quickly come to a stop

Also 1v1 is probably the best fix for learning how to take angles for new players because deathmatch is more pure aim and since you have so many engagements per minute in 1v1 you quickly learn not to have your face inside of a corner

Ran into an odd bug. I'm trying to list an item for like :10bux: and I have to go into my email to list it. I do that, it shows up under my listed items...but never actually shows up. I search for the item and it straight up isn't there.

Can you just not search for you own listings? Because this thing is like a buck cheaper than anything else on the market and no dice.

I replaced maplists.cfg with the goonpug one but the sm_admin maps menu doesnt seem to be reading it and is getting the maps listing from somewhere else?

Do you mean the maps menu you can manually bring up as an admin or the plugin map vote menu? The goonpug maps won't show up in the default admin menu. I'm not sure where sourcemod looks to fill the admin map menu by default, so you'll have to look at the SM documentation yourself.
