If there's one thing I love more than GruntKilla420, it's the Queen! Also bacon.

uhhh dude, everything on the screen is blurry, it's just that things that are tiny on it are harder to see as a consequence. Like I said, near/far-sight isn't really my problem.

No that's not how they work either, the depth is fake depth, you see.

No wonder this game is headed down the toilet if everyone who plays it is a dribbling retard. (no offense)

I don't think it lowers the skill ceiling, it's kinda useless info. It's super loving annoying though. They couldn't have made a new, better sound?!

It is a game... where you will put your life on the line.

Low ammo sounds lower the skill ceiling because it's something different and unfamiliar and I haven't yet learned how to apply it to my advantage yet :qq:

fake edit: I haven't really listened to the new machineguns yet, the MAG-7 sounds funny but whatev it will always take adjusting to when there's a change. Those low ammo clicks do seem like they are way too loud though. Especially if they're going to make it so other players can hear it. Making it an optional thing would be... something, it would help you remember how much ammo is left but also give away your position and status easily. And then nobody serious would bother loading noisemaker rounds at the bottom of each mag so :shrug:

its way to mil sim for cs but it would be cool if you could set those rounds wherever you want in a clip

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

Well, it isn't something different. You could always make a small advantage if you kept track of how many bullets your opponent fired. Now a sound cue is there for everyone to get that information for free, rendering counting bullets pointless and giving that advantage out to everyone for free.

Honestly, it's not a huge deal, but it isn't something a skilled player can turn to their advantage. It takes an advantage away.

It also removes a mindgame that happens in high level play where players will choose not to reload in order to not give away their position even though they only have a few bullets left. Previously it was a bluff because an opponent won't know how much of your clip you might have left (let's say they heard you fire 10, but you only had 15 bullets left beforehand). Now there is a sound cue that says "It's a lot safer to push me because I only have a few bullets".

some of these changes are just so targeted at specific, arguably unimportant situations that makes me wonder who exactly they're balancing the game for.

even in those situations where you are low on bullets, baiting the reload sound and quick switching would usually cause people to push, but now you're at an even more hilarious disadvantage now that people know you are only have 5 bullets now they can just bait out the shots.

The addition of the low ammo sound is so loving weird, who asked for this? Is the one guy working on this game desperately trying to find new features? It's as dumb as the loving revolver

I would accept$15-$20 to play a map with a blatant hacker in casual. Heck, I'll play half a map with a blatant hacker in there just to get my xp. I think it more than evens out. Are you going

E: Unless it was below $15 by that time, but they're still at over $8, which I would also accept to play with a hacker for a map in casual. Are you selling it, or opening it?

Has anyone tried prime MM yet? How are the queue times?

Also that new sg skin is pretty coal and I think it may well replace my ol' trusty Call of Duty cyrex

It seems pretty much the same. Same amount of edgelords, crybabies and shady individuals. But maybe it gets better overtime if more shady individuals go making less crybabies cry.

Prime MM has slightly longer queue times, but the games have been really good so far. People seem to have better vibes on both sides. Maybe I'm just lucky, though.

I played a few games yesterday and it felt essentially the same, except I kept getting put on teams of randoms against 3-4 stacks. Had a seriously shady couple of games too so who knows how this'll shake out.

Prime is probably gonna be the same as normal matchmaking for a while until a few vacwaves has rolled through, Vladimir and Hans can't just buy a new account and requeue prime, there's a bigger barrier for hackers.

Pretty sure it will shake out like MM, but fewer hackers and griefers. The whole point is that it makes it harder for people to evade bans, and gives a way to track multiple accounts to a single user.
