All I'm saying is if they don't put wooden doors back in dust2 I will firebomb Valve HQ

To continue with Valve tradition, Dust3 will never be confirmed nor released.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



moving dust 2 to the new dust 2 group is a better way to deal with this than I was expecting

That's pretty awesome. I hate dust2, and being forced to queue it up late night with the riff raff in order to get a game going really sucks. Just last night I had a guy buy a scout every round. We couldn't get our economy straight and lost narrowly. The next game I had a guy full save after we won pistol because "we need the money". He got overrun on A and we lost the anti-eco. People are just generally dumber that queue d2.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.

They just moved it out of the competitive group. Its basically like queuing aztec or vertigo or whatever. People are still going to be playing the poo poo out of it.

I am cool.
It's due anyway. I feel like there wasn't hardly any d2 at ELeague, although I missed a lot of the groups.

But then there also wasn't much Cobblestone either.

It needed loving with. The pro meta was boring as gently caress to watch. We get short control at 1:10 and then guess whether they went 21,2 or 1,1,3 or rough long takes. In actual practice it was the map of every tedious autistic oval office and it was a mistake to queue if a random could join ever.

I'm aware, but people like to play the competitive map pool, so it means there will be a lot more players on the other maps. At least I'm guessing that will be the case.

Inferno was always my favourite map to watch pro games on. This was a Good Update.

Rly hope this reduces queue times for non dust 2 maps but that might be a pipe dream.

Yeah honestly I feel that Inferno is one of my favorite maps to watch in pro games. RIP Dust II souvenir cases, WB 8 million Nova | Walnut and MAG-7 Sand Dune souvenirs.

Does/has anyone played santorini, Tuscan, or season? They all look super well made but it seems like there's no way to really play on them ever :(

E: also my climb has slowed significantly since hitting gold nova. Partially because I have way less time to play and partially because I'm probably at around this skill level. Slowly having games with more gn2-4s than gn1s, but usually not crushing games in the same way as in silver.

I think I need to start a deaths notebook or smth so I can stop loving up.

Yeah its been known for a while. Just as it happened with inferno, they found some texture filenames ingame for dust_hd assets, if memory serves me right.

It's kind of funny how when the rumours came up, players from other teams would ask me if there was any truth in them. I could feel that it was not out of curiosity but rather fear that they were asking.

they should be afraid, teams will now have to go through a full roster fnatic and VP to even have hopes of winning a tournament again is scary. Let's not forget the age of VP and Fnatic just trading tournament wins for almost an entire year.
