i actually kind of yearn for the days when a full on spin bot would race through a 40 person server and kill everyone in 10 seconds

New Valve Anti-Cheat technology caught a few people cheating in Counter-Strike: Source and other games this week -- over 10,000.

Is there a way to edit my sound so that gun fire isn't as loud or I can increase footstep sounds?

In-game, probably not. Maybe you can mess with some equalizer settings in windows or your sound card.

You can edit the voice volume, but individual game sounds no.




I remember way back even before 1.6 I loaded up a spin bot with a friend and emptied a few servers, changed our names to have MyG0t in them as well. IIRC the cheat had some in game menu and added wireframe dudes through the wall.

You can edit the level of individual sound entities in the audio menu on organner if that helps?

Got ranked. Silver 4, ok, cool, not absolute trash-tier, that's good.
Proceed to get my rear end handed to me on the next 3 competitive matches.

Silver 4 is in fact trash tier but don't feel too bad about it. I got ranked silver 2 when I first started .

so assuming everyone can headshot each other a mile away with rifles, the rest of the game is determined by grenade placement?

Positioning, timing, anti-stratting, nade placement, awareness, trading, mid-round calls and adjustments

you can't simplify it down to one thing. there's a reason it's the #1 competitive FPS for the past 16 years.

as someone who can't aim, this update (cl_weapon_debug_show_accuracy) is good for me, it is easier to get a better feel for movement and spray inaccuracy versus show_impacts. Is there anyway to get something like this to run on top of a demo?

I'm also mad about this: – Significantly reduced holiday cheer.

Na'vi was always my favorite when it came to running strats because they'd wait until like 20 seconds left until round end and execute some bullshit. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but it was always fun to see them just kind of poking around for the first minute or so of the round. Are they still like that? I haven't followed in forever.

Is there any particular reason that people don't like to play Italy? I feel like I'm almost always winding up at Dust 2 or Mirage. Is there some basic flaw about Italy that I don't realize?

Hostage maps were way better when you could just kill the hostages and then hide for the rest of the round.

No, he's right.

Hostage maps are incredibly boring and hilariously T-sided. Both teams actually need to work as separate entities in order to make de_ maps work, which is far more competitive and engaging.

good luck ever actually rescuing a hostage without killing every T first.

unlike in bomb defusal, where you regularly win with 1-2 CT's left, and ninja defusals on CT side are a legit strategy.

My perspective is probably super skewed by playing it in Casual so much. It's a fun map for deathmatch, though, all sorts of fun places to hide.

Competitive cs_Italy is the most t-sided thing in the game. I play office from time to time, but Italy isn't even worth queuing for.
