I've played almost a dozen games since the change and there's been zero moments where it's changed the outcome of a duel or round, at least from my perspective. It really wasn't that loud even before they reduced the noise. Part of it is I guess some people are all too attached to the aesthetics and mechanics they studied and memorized due to rote repetition and so any kind of change, for better or worse is seen as a slap in the face. Even if it doesn't come into play for 99% of all incidents (lol what about 1v1s??). Given how it seems like a cawa dootey mechanic (and guess what CSGO players love to poo poo on CoD all day long) It honestly feels more like "we don't like this change" rather than a "this is gamebreaking revert it", not nearly as serious as the rifle nerfs that came around months ago but irritating enough to get people crying about it. Like they recently changed cobblestone so there are steps leading up to the platform so CTs can move into position there and there's not one post on the first two pages of that reddit about it but there's still saltposting over the low ammo sounds. I guess since it's cobble it's ok, if it was stairs from CT spawn to catwalk on dust 2 people would be throwing monitors over how they ruined perfection.

How long does it take to get to rank 21? Only level 9 at the moment and would like to join prime MM.

What's the goal/benefit of the low ammo sounds though? The only case where I can imagine this affects anything is if you pick up a gun that's almost empty, and you just happen to fire once before you get into a battle.

It's for the opponent, not the person firing the gun.

Wait, can the opponents actually hear that sound? I played a bit since the update and I don't recall ever hearing that sound.

I think you have bonus xp for your first three games of the week, starting wednesday, so playing 3 mm games tuesday and 3 mm games on wednesday could net you about 3 levels. Playing DM or casual is a really slow way to get xp so don't bother if your goal is to level to 21 quickly. After bonus XP wears off you still get around 1/5 to 1/4 level per mm game. if anyone plays a lot of mm feel free to add to this or correct me

Maybe they're setting up for StatTrak Ammunition, loaded into a gun it tracks how many kills made with a gun with the last few shots fired.

Yes this is exactly the thing about it that is annoying. Nobody asked for this, it isn't a real problem, it lowers the skill ceiling (Keeping track of shots fired by your enemy takes skill, only now it doesn't), and takes potential hours away from developing fixes/tweaking settings that actually could use adjusting. Heck, re-balancing the R8 would be a better way to spend dev time than this.

I don't like what the sound is telling my opponent, and I don't like the sound itself, honestly I don't care that I'm giving my opponent slightly more info, what i care about is that the loving sound is loud as gently caress to the user, jesus christ it drowns EVERYTHING else out. I've been very careful my last few games to find out what guns make the sound when (most guns are shots 1-5, the more ammo they have the higher it is, I haven't played with the negev/m249 tho) and I've been trying to avoid causing it because it's distracting as gently caress and I can't hear other enemies trying to flank and poo poo.

Your opponents can theoretically hear the low ammo sound, but they basically have to stand on top of you to do so, the sound is super low. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vi5qaQvkU8&t=130s I do find it a silly and unnecessary addition but it's not at all gamechanging, really.

Just had to mute my whole team after us going 5-10 on mirage as CTs.. Then me constantly buying my team 1-2aks per round and me with an mp7 with multiple 3v1 won for me and us winning 16-14... Feels good to dig down and pull out a win with a bunch of mic spamming teamshooting kids on your team.

My first prime game was... interesting. Mic spammers blasting terrible music during warm up. Then two of my teammates just started jumping off roofs and shooting constantly. Then one of my teammates abandoned. Then the enemy team all killed each other in spawn. Then one of their teammates abandoned. Then they voted off two others. Then we won 16 to 4. So all in all prime is clearly doing something right.

If he's not moving onto a real job, he's at least personable enough that he can probably make a living doing casting or analysis or something similarly e-sports related

I think it the minor non-changes are basically a way to justify releasing a new run of crates and doing very little otherwise. Basically, some patch notes to go with your skins.

I wonder how prime MM will shape up in a few months from now, after a wave or two.Bohemian Nights posted:They already did turn down the volume in last night's patch, but I haven't tried it myself to see how much they reduced the sound by. It's far more tolerable now. It's more of a hint rather than drowning out the actual gunfire.
