Turns out having a cool rear end knife changes the way others treat you in MM. People have been generally nicer to me and actually respect my decisions and callouts!

While I reflect on all the friends I've made in CSGO who respect me for my knife all I can think is "I wish money could buy free poo poo"

I found using skins I actually like makes the game more enjoyable. Some pixels are superior to others, apparently.

The best way to get people to listen to you is to be personable. Rare exceptions when you get a csgo autist I guess.

My normal speaking voice has all the wrong frequencies in it so it just fades into the background with other noises, so I have to use my csgo autist voice in order to be heard. true story.

So earlier I've recommended the steelseries rival but considering how my brand new rival 300 lasted all but a month before it broke down and had the exact same sensor issues out of the box as the rival that it replaced, I think perhaps it is time to go for a new brand of mouse and to never buy steelseries again. It's a shame that they are apparently trash because I love how they feel.

I'm thinking a zowie or something else that doesn't look like a spaceship for tiny people

Get a ZA12. It's the most similar one to a Rival.

Now put 4 flaming baguettes on one side of the image while 1 sits in a corner far away on the other side waiting uselessly for the others to die.

Also one should be pushing solo for no reason only to die over and over.

:agreed:

I use a g400 and it is a great mouse.

Once it breaks down I might pony up the cash for another g500 though. That mouse is loving great, all the way down to the removable weights you can put in it to change how heavy it is. :allears:

Also speaking of mousechat, does anyone have any recommendations for a headset? I have a logitech G35 that is starting to fall apart and truthfully I've never really cared for.

I was thinking of getting a Kingston Hyper X Cloud II

Any thoughts?

Don't get a gaming headset imo, get some decent headphones instead. Better value for your money and they'll last you longer. You don't really need a better microphone than what any semi-decent but cheap desktop mic will do for you

Seconded, and this goes for all PC gaming, not just CS (which admittedly, I can't offer much input for).

You want headphones with good soundstage so you can hear where people are walking around more precisely to be more specific.




Can anyone help with an issue I'm having? I launch CS and it shows no ranks, none of my details are fetched from online basically, even when I'm in a lobby ready to search for a match. I can't see any details such as rank, XP rank, and accolades on friends' CS:GO accounts' when viewed ingame either. Is this a common issue? Relaunching does not fix it.

I've only ever seen that happen on mine every once in a while during Steam's Tuesday night maintenance window. I guess step 1 with CS:GO is to always go to Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache... but it seems more like some weird network/security issue that's causing connection problems between you and the servers that provide that stuff.
