I AM BAD AT GAMES
Lipstick Apathy
My first CS game is GO so I'm not qualified to say much but I really hate that when I'm doing poorly I can always grab an MP9/Mac10 and just jump shot people around corners. Running AK shots still confuse me and don't feel right either but I don't know enough about the series to comment too much on it.

It becomes less of a problem as people get better and they can reliably headshot you with their AK if you try stuff like that. But yeah it sucks that a bad player can just play Call of Duty with a P90 and do ok against average players.

I've stopped buying the P90 entirely just because I don't want to learn bad habits. I guess buying the other SMGs is similar but at least I get to practice movement with those. I want to improve and learn proper Counter-Strike but I don't want to learn too many gimmicks that could (in theory) be patched out later.

Edit: It sucks hearing that the entire pro scene has been available to help Valve improve the game but hasn't gotten the chance. Most of the time I ignore that sort of effort because I don't have faith in most communities but we're dealing with Valve and one of the oldest yet most current shooters out there. I don't even mind all the skins, I think they're fun. But it'd be nice to see some big chances come next operation.

Tbh learning the UMP is the best decision in terms of SMGs. It fires like a rifle, and it is probably the best small buy possible. I'd take it over a famas or galil any day.

I have thought about trying to use the mp7 less and less, but I am really really good with it, and it lets me buy others on my team ak's / m4's who might not have enough money and are good with those guns. Sure that is a dumb theory, and I have been working on my ak spray, but I have used the mp7 so long (2500+ kills statrack) I don't think I will ever relearn how to not move and shoot..

Some dude kept sitting in smokes and thinking he was clever. I see a forward-ish smoke in cache A main, I say to my team "some idiot thinks he's cute sitting in smokes, just spam 'em so he learns his lesson". I then spam the smoke, reposition. My teammate follows my lead and spams the smoke too... combined frag.

This game is annoying but moments like that when you realise you've totally outplayed someone are worth it.

Sk have been doing weird poo poo, looked like they threw their games once they reached 14-x then won on round 30. Practicing closing tight games?

Maybe a victim of their own success, fnatic style? I swear watching some of fnatic's matches prior to the big swap was really sad. It's like they were 100% confident their straight aim would win rounds, going into bombsites without throwing any utility at all.

The game in question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b50n-TfsqvQ

Only watched D2. You can tell they're tilted after round 8 or 9. But even then there were a lot of close rounds and lots of renegades winning 1v2's with 1 or 2 HP. Even when something goes right for SK, like on the last pistol, two of them get domed through smoke. poo poo happens. Cold being butt hurt on twitter made me scrape his sticker for TACO though. For now.

Scraping a sticker is harsh dude are you ok?

Trip report: this is a pretty good game to watch, lots of really nice little touches to pick up if you feel "out of date" on dust 2

My favorite Counter-Strike player was the one telling me to "act my rank" while I was carrying the team with solo site takes* and plants. He started this when I didn't rush out to immediately save him when he was lit and we had 10 seconds to bomb detonation. He is also the reason I detained down to Nova 3.

To spray you just pull your gun down and in a slight parabolic arc to the right. It's accurate enough that you can do short bursts from midrange angles or spray down rushes and poo poo on any other eco gun. Against full buys it at least performs as well as you'd expect, which is more than i can say about the famas.

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

famas ain't awful, I'd take it over the UMP for d2 long or holding stairs on mirage and poo poo like that. Famas spray is poo poo tho, can't do it past close range.

first match of the autumn season complete, 16-6 cache, 16-2 train, winning every round after losing pistol due to a masterful round 2 4x AK buy from the other team, which was probably what triggered several of their number ragequitting after the teamspeak vibes apparently got completely out of hand a few rounds later

gg, kind of
