Whoa hey caeg, thanks for watching :P

Yeah I guess that's sort of my problem too, I come from an arena deathmatch background so sitting still is always hard for me, and I've MOSTLY snuffed out my instincts to buy a shotgun and rush the nearest choke point...

So what's ideal protocol when you run into another person and aren't holding an angle, let's say i'm CT and moving to check long and I turn the corner a bit and there's a T pushing. Do I just freeze and drop into a crouch, wait a split second then start firing? It always feels like poo poo when you get killed trying to wait the time to shoot well and they just fire off some headshots from the hip while moving.

I know bullets are wildly off center if you're moving at all, so yeah.

I think it is totally dependent on a couple of things. The biggest for me would be what weapon they have. If it's an awp and they are in/near pit. Take a pop shot and fall back and wait till you can get a better fight for your self by having them push your or by using utility. If the awps is right near you you're probably better off continuing to engage them and pushing them. If it's an Ak you're matched pretty evenly with an m4. So if you caught them off guard take the fight. If they see you and are father away fall back and hold angles, use utility, get your self into cross fire with someone on cat etc. But what the gently caress do I know! I'm a baddy at this game.

You maintain your crosshair on the corner so as you round it to so if they aren't in spot you think they are in you will at least be on them quickly. To get rid of movement inaccuracy you tap the opposite direction to the one you are currently moving in. So if you are strafing aaaaaa you take your finger off a tap d once and start firing. The interval of time between seeing and shooting should get smaller with practice. The main difficulty I find is if you are moving diagonally because I have retard fingers and going w and a to instantly d and s is awkward so I try to move around using the one button as much as is feasible.

The other thing I should mention is its useful to maintain your distance from the corner because they will see you first if you are close to it, longer explanation by some nerd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e8HZqF3cyk

it's been months since I've had a good game, I picked up the 2 week trial on CEVO and it just felt like every shot connected, is that huge difference in 128 vs 64?

i've been dropping frames since my most recent upgrade (part list) and i can't figure out why. seems to happen mostly in firefights, where i seem to be dropping under 144FPS, otherwise it's around ~300FPS stable. tried rolling back video drivers to the 391.x series, doing a clean reinstall of drivers, disabling adaptive power saving for my gpu, nothing. :( any ideas?

i was able to easily pull a stable 300FPS with an i7-3770k and a GTX 660 so i can't think of any reasons that i should be dropping frames like i am now.

Sounds dumb but try rolling back to an earlier driver version, maybe a month or two before the current one.

FWIW I hopped into DM earlier and there were a lot of people complaining about having FPS drops lately. Might be something wrong with the game itself.

I would guess 80% chance it's still a driver thing and you just need to roll back further, as that kind of thing has happened to me. On the other hand, 120 fps is fine you big baby.

120FPS on a 144Hz monitor is not fine, actually

you need >=144FPS to get the full advantage of a 144Hz monitor, and i usually cap my FPS as high as i can stably achieve so that if i do get FPS drops, it hopefully won't dip under my refresh rate

historically a safe cap for me has been (refresh rate * 2) + 1

I SHOULD have qualified my statement a little more, it's awful to play at less than half the fps you normally get. before i had a good computer i didn't have any trouble with low performance as long as i didn't have silly drops all the time

I play with all quality settings low as possible except for resolution (1440x900) and shadows (high). Usually gets me in the high 100s or low 200s.
