Just gave it a spin in MM, it almost feels like cheating with how clear everything is. Single footsteps or nade pins are extremely easy to orient around yourself. M4S decoys on the other side of smoke are extremely good poo poo if you can get it down before they're in range to hear the nade itself land. It's much more pleasant to watch too, most of the situations where you'd previously "just have to know the map" to understand what is happening based on audio queues are largely gone. Definitely a net positive for the game. There will be a lot less ambiguity about sounds from a newcomer/casual spectator perspective. drunken officeparty posted:I don't use headphones and it sounds basically the same to me.  If you aren't getting proper stereo separation then your speakers are not positioned correctly.Edit: There's also a bug on Cache in CT Z where the literal garbage fire toggles on and off at the threshold instead of fading subtly and it is extremely disorienting. At first I thought someone was in vents just lighting and putting away a molotov then I did free spec and located the actual source New Zealand can eat me fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Dec 8, 2016 |

It's extremely impressive that they could shoehorn this in at an acceptable performance level, given how old the engine is. It's almost gratifying to hear how bad the game sounds now, kind of the same feels as watching 1.6 videos  I can't imagine it will get much better without hardware acceleration and a new engine capable of taking advantage of that. The foundation of that is getting there with DX12, exposing leftover performance overhead for general computing. Will be immeasurably more useful than previous attempts, namely PhysX

Also I just had my best FFA DM life ever number of kills wise: http://plays.tv/video/5848ebec46ae4b9d65/the-best-ffa-dm-life-i-will-ever-have There are still so many painful mechanical habits in this clip. I still haven't broken the TF2/Overwatch habit of jumping and wildly running around in close quarters fights. I also still haven't really figured out how to strafe and shoot with rifles -- I can do the ADshootADshootADshoot thing OK with pistols, but it just doesn't translate. E: also my crosshair placement LOL

I'm not going to check but I'm like 99% sure this is mentioned in one of the extremely useful links in the OP, might want to go through all of those because you're probably missing a few other "freebies" that will save you a lot of confusion/frustration

Where would you guys play on Mirage as CT? I usually end up w teams who do one watching aps from near van, one watching cat from somewhere, one watching all of mid from snipers, and then two scattered around a watching palace/ramp. The snipers nest player in particular seems like it can't be the default way to play the map -- you have an aim duel like every round that someone wants one, which seems dangerous.New Zealand can eat me posted:I'm not going to check but I'm like 99% sure this is mentioned in one of the extremely useful links in the OP, might want to go through all of those because you're probably missing a few other "freebies" that will save you a lot of confusion/frustration Good call!

I think mid on mirage is one of those things you have to have to contest on CT side because the alternative is letting the Ts get free control and merrily cruise thru every time and that probably isn't very good.

One thing to note is that you can contest top mid from a few different locations other than window. If you have a good spawn, you can run from CT to ticket booth, past site and jungle into the left connector corner to try and get a pick at top mid. You can also spot mid from cat or boost above the double stack box outside ladder room. If you've got insane movement and have a good spawn you can try jump to cat from window on top of the railing and and get a pick there before running away up cat afterwards (obviously less practical for most players). You can also try jump down from window to underpass and surprise a guy at top mid before running away through connector. Generally speaking I feel like most teams smoke top mid from T spawn so the CT can't get an easy pick from window. This lets the Ts cross and get control of top mid from the wheelbarrow/bench area, which lets them throw mollies and smokes at connector/cat/window and work mid control. It's pretty important to get a read on how they use their utility so you know where to contest mid from as a CT at the beginning of the round.

Typically if you're doing a 2-1-2, that cat player really needs to help out, I typically play cat/arches if I'm at B and will play fairly aggressive on cat if I know they're putting 1 or more mid, once Ts have mid control they open a lot of options (boost into window, go up connector, or go up cat) and makes it a lot harder to hold sites because that opens up an extra avenue or 2 to get into them.

Fusion Restaurant posted:Where would you guys play on Mirage as CT? I like to play in b either towards cat or looking into halls from somewhere. A site I find unbelievably frustrating sometimes because in mm there's a lot of getting shot in the back or side of the head on a. The potential for the other guy to decide he's going to be ultra useless in case of a take by being a ninja or hiding in ct spawn or looking at what you're covering from a weaker position without saying he's moved or the mid guy not mentioning they can be up connector or could be in the smoke in the window all adds to a lot of why the gently caress didn't you say anything you loving dipshit. But you can't say anything other than I was looking at slope\halls and I saw no one.

GN3 and yet somehow the other teams's top 3 fraggers end the match with 80%+ headshot's... Just watched the demo and only 1 seemed to have aimlock. The other 2 didn't really look fishy. All 3 had 700+ hours and multiple games and full inventorys... gently caress me.

All 3 had 700+ hours and multiple games and full inventorys... gently caress me. Ive found that there are certain areas that cluster people together and have a wide amount of skill between them. GN3 - GN4 took me forever to get through, but once I broke through I got to MG2 fairly quickly, with much kore consistent games. Also play prime. I have a second account for playing with a friend who is GN1 and I have yet to find a game that didnt have someone else MGE+ in it in non prime games.

I want to rant about last night. I was holding top of mid mirage with an awp. Already peaked and killed 2 in window. Bomb was headed B. I figured that the 3 other T's could take site and I'd sit mid for rotates. I had also checked back on T spawn while they pushed apps. Perhaps this was a bad idea and I should have pushed site via cat while they pushed apps. All 3 of them got wiped. Then proceeded to yell at me to get bomb off B while 3 CTs watched it and I had my awp. I decided to save and got 1 exit. In my head this was the right choice. Additionally, gently caress orange for trying to 'fix' his sound the entire game and gently caress green for not telling me he had moved (not watching something I couldn't) and got me shot in the side of the head.
