I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

As much as I disliked Bloodhound's maps I realized after it ended I missed doing dumb missions. It's also kind of interesting to look back and see how many aces/wins/whatever you had at the time.

And everyone gets a chance at that Medusa or Dragonlore! :v:

Yeah, not gonna lie, playing the missions was fun. and like 90% of the reason I played anything but gun game and goonmans. Also the extra xp is nice for leveling up the account rank thing.

Still so happy that I made back the cost of the operation plus some bonus within like 10 min of getting it. Still wish they didn't have the two mission a day limit.

Those blitz missions seem interesting. but I'm going to miss 1 or 2 every day they happen since they're at 10am, 3pm, and 8pm. Not sure who those times are good for really...

just played 2 games on new nuke. some of us didnt like it, some did.
I think it's aight. It's a really fast map now. T's can get control of outside almost immediately, but at the same time if they don't leave right away it's pretty easy to cut them all down. Interested to see how that changes the map when ppl figure it out.

there are a couple things that are complete bullshit but overall I had fun

Both reds are really good. Thinking of giving up my beloved asiimov and vulcan.

The thumbnail for the M4A4 really does not do it justice. It does look really nice ingame. And of course the AK looks great.

I got the invisible smoke bug by accident while playing a mission. It's definitely back, but I'm not sure if I alt-tabbed.

Your graphics are definitely broken, it looks way more high res on my screen.

Same here. Made back my Operation investment in my second DM. I like the mission format this time. Competitive Blitz + Casual missions should keep it interesting enough. I only work a couple days a week so I'll probably do the missions most days (unless it's Cruise).

Also if you get a crate or you're dumb enough to open one: for god's sake sell the skin. If you want to buy it back it'll be a quarter of the price in a week.

Ugh should have checked the thread before getting into comp, just lost like 15-6 because I was getting blasted through smokes like loving crazy, didn't realize the alt-tab bug was back (or some variation), I knew the guys weren't hacking, unless it was just some smoke type of hack, because they were not very good.


Also, jesus my game is crashing like crazy, and I get weird graphics tearing whenever I scope, this poo poo is hosed up.

I am glad the competitive and non-competitive missions are split, and that they thought of a way to prevent the 45 minute wait times for some operation maps like in the last operation. Blitz sounds like it will bring a bunch of players to that single map for a few hours.

loving smoke bug. Didn't even notice they weren't loading until I got three super blatant smoke kills and didn't get shot back at all. Hope I don't get loving over watched now.

Didn't even alt tab or anything. Even in my demos they don't load.

Bleh this poo poo always happens. Updates in the middle of the night, I don't play until after work next day when a new case is worth roughly one pittance so I don't ever get to price-gouge nerds. They should release it for EU peak time, the region that is good at CS

If it wasn't for the fact that the major was just around the corner I'd say to just buy a few older skins and sell em when they rebound back, but there'll be a second wave of people trading their guns for steambux so they can buy tournament stickers.

e: Also I forgot most people don't play the dumb skin market. Still the event is making lots of people dump items at least as fast as the steam sales.

Prepare to be dissapointed. Santorini was the worst optimized map I've played until last night's new nuke.

Also, gently caress Valve's fetish with little hooks and doodads on every shipping container, crate, whatever. poo poo looks too busy and blocks bullets.
