Oh yeah. Would have just sold the case but it was at a dollar something instead of the ten I thought it was. Took a chance hoping for the new M4 and it came out of nowhere in a sea of blues.

Lesson learned in any video game really:
when something is new, it is expensive and stupid to try and get. Wait, it will be much cheaper later.

Fake edit: couldn't get screenshots but I ended up deciding to get a M4A1-S because I am adopting to that rifle style. So I ended up getting a Factory New Icarus Fell. It was either that or Mecha Industries. I then opted to get a minimal wear Kill Confirmed and that super razzy snazzy purple as gently caress AK47.

That's my favorite part about cs. It's like wandering down to a soccer pitch and being able to shoot goals against a pro goalie.

Is the CZ at all worth it vs the 5-7 and tec 9?

The tec-9 is amazing run and gun in terrorist hands as shown by the tec-9 forceups that often score at least a bomb plant, it's almost a sure pick for T side. CT side, the Five SeveN is good but not a huge amount better than a P250 whereas a CZ can be extremely dangerous in the hands of an ambusher but whenever I use the thing all the bullets go around the target instead of into it.

e: Oh yeah if you're an insane moron and play casual then the CZ downsides are magnified and one of the major perks (economy) is mitigated making it hilariously bad overall

Makes sense!!

Also -- for the Tec 9 -- shoudl I spam like crazy, or shoot it more like a regular pistol -- ie more chill taps?

The CZ can be really good for getting 1-2 kills, but you better have a teammate with you to trade out your death when you have to reload or use all of the bullets in the gun. Five-Seven, as shown, can solo ace no problem.

if you become a CZ savant it's basically like a rifle. you can ace with any pistol if you believe in yourself

surc
Aug 17, 2004

It's like a rifle with 24 bullets. I'd rather have a mac10/mp9, or a tec-9/five-seven. At least those guns know what they want to be, the CZ is not that good at being a rifle and okay at being a pistol, but not great overall.

I will agree that believing in yourself (and goodvibesing your teammates) is the path to aces though.

stump collector
May 28, 2007
I basically only buy it when I'm taking part in a pistol forcebuy with my team. I've got a few massive 2k, 3k, and 4k rounds with a CZ in my time. If you know the other team has rifles and have a good read on what they will do, and a good crossfire or bait set up to counter it, CZs will net you faster kills.

That being said, I use the five seven now because it has more bullets and the damiyo purple skin is cool.

Use to be DMG before the revaluation of ranks, then I was mg1 - mg2 for months.. And now I don't know if it is a mixture of playing with irl friends who are really bad or solo queing but I am back down to GN3.. Am I really just that bad now? (the answer is probably yes)

are you playing enough? your rank will decay quite a bit if you took too much of a break. also there are a lot of hackers in non prime at every level

Everything is prime.. But I did take a break for like 2-3 months.

I had just about the same thing happen.

Then again I'm almost always drunk when I play now. I'd rather have fun and play with friends than worry about rank.

I've been using the CZ occasionally because I like it as an AWP backup, and lately I've had lots of success on deagle eco rounds.

I stopped playing from either June/July through October and went from a nova something to silver 5 or 6, but in the last month have bounced back up to between nova 3 and 4 a couple times, so yeah, the decay is real. I spent like 3 weeks with a 2:1 or better K:D ratio shittin on silvers and low novas nearly every match

Same. I went a huge slump the past few weeks to the point I was bottom fraging against people 2-3 ranks below me, to yesterday getting two aces after not getting one for months.

Including one absolutely BS pistol ace that rightly got some hackusations.
