What's the opinion of maps thus far? Royal is really, really growing on me. I like the long rotate time and combination of super close quarters/long sightlines. Cruise is bad. Santorini and Nuke are fun, though squeeky rush into B for T's still feels too easy.

Newke is awesome, Cruise is okay, haven't had a chance to try out the other maps yet.

:( I haven't gotten a wildfire drop yet. just a crappy regular drop.

But I just played my first competitive match after hyping myself up. We tied it and I realize people actually are retarded.

What's the word on wrist pivot vs sweeping? I've been a lifelong pivoter but lowering sensitivity really is useful for getting good with rifles, and it's at the point where I just can't turn quickly enough to check corners etc. I've been forcing myself to change over the last week or so, and just had a deathmatch game where it finally seemed to be clicking, but it's still not entirely natural to me.

Basically losing a 4v1, winning a 1v4 because they all have knives out, aiming and firing behind a person,Trying to spray control an ak by firing single shots at someones feet, Friendly fire, peeking into awps, losing the bomb, "oh I'm going afk"right as we start round 1.

sens - 1@1000, no multiplier. Mousemat is Steelseries QcK. Maybe I'm just being a baby about it then, but it feels very sluggish.

I'd like to to say that seems pretty normal up until you get out of the novas and then it gets better, but well people's shooting ability gets better. Generally. There's that.

Yeah, I just started playing Comp so it might have matched me with window breathers for the first match, then start to step it up and see where I should be.

Just played my second match, people don't react to fire, they lost 16-1, and we did literally the same thing each time and won, no counter moves. The one time we lost we tried to go a different route to plant and we lost. Yeah it probably gets more competitive and not make me feel like I'm kicking a puppy.

I was hoping there'd be a mini blitz campaign or guaranteed drops for winners or something. It's fine for what it is but XP is beyond worthless.

\/ The cross is beyond bad for A. Either you smoke and safely cross and completely concede the site to a rush or you try to cross and get picked ~50% of the time. I like the map for pistols and the round after that though! :P

I'm excited to play mikla, it looks pretty neat.

I started playing during Bloodhound, so I'm getting heavy nostalgia from when I was a newb running around with 2000dpi and mouse acceleration.

I remember it took me 10 games to get the "5 awp kills" achievement. :shobon:

I think it's a good way to include competitive in the mission mix. Also, I'm not sure that the blitz missions are only competitive.

Looking back at past operations, the complaints people had were usually taken care of in the next.

First people complained that comp missions required a WIN, which could take way too long.

Next Op had comp missions based around rounds instead of winning overall. Most of the other missions followed as well, dealing with things you could do in a match instead of just winning it. People still complained that the competitive missions sucked and were still hard to finish because people would just grief in comp. And people not playing the Op complained that comp was unplayable for similar reasons.

This Op? No competitive matches in the mission book, either story line. It's all casual game types. The Gemini story line is all guardian co-op as well. So now people doing the Op don't really have to worry about competitive missions (except for xp and playing the new maps) and people doing competitive don't have to worry about people in the Op loving up normal games (since they're only scheduled 3 times a day, and only once in the evening).

4 digits and 5 and maybe even 6 are the same cause they were all created within minutes of each other when steam went live. I remember cause I was one of the losers that was spamming f5 on steam cause it was being hammered.

Rereading my post it sounds bitchy whiney and that wasn't my intention. I actually like the format a lot. It'll keep people playing the newer maps, which is good, because the maps are good.

XP is just weirdly limited in CS because it literally doesn't matter.

That's actually not true, I was one of the retarded teenage losers who got up early as possible to register a low steamid, I wasn't even F5'ing.
