How do I know when it's better to just give up and run and hide or to spin the wheel of fortune and try to win. I basically always try unless it's like me vs. 5 and even then I do it a lot.

Weapon knowledge of your opponents and confidence with my current weapon helps me out.

Like, if I'm a CT and terrorists take B and its me for a retake against two holding site. One has an P90 and the other scout. I have an M4. I'm taking them on knowing the SMG will play close and I'll need to check the regular sniper spots for the scout. So if I come from mid, I'll go window and check for Scout at back of site, boxes, and right below me. SMG will be near tunnel or right under me most likely.

From here, the information I gather helps my next move. Who do I see first? Both? Did they see me? If so/yes retreat unless I have a clean and quick shot that doesn't require me to snap a long distance away.

Simple said something cool a while ago to the attune of 'keep a piece of paper next to you and write down why you died every time you do. "I died because I peeked too early." I died because I didn't check my corners." "I died because I made a sound and gave my position away." "I died because I lost a fire fight. I didn't take advantage of cover/correct reticle placement/" whatever. I started being more conscious of my decisions and winning more fights and risking more fights. If I know I can't retake because it's 1v4 or something, I'll stand back and try to kill them as they come out because keeping a weapon is good, but I want to hurt their economy as much as possible.

I'm a silver though. So grain of salt. I honestly don't even care anymore about it. I gently caress around too much in comp to take ranking up seriously anymore.

"LOL U GOT OWNED"
To the goon that uses unsilenced USP and M4A1, has anyone discussed with you why in 90% of cases this is not a good idea?

From last night's mill game, you might have seen the 10% rare case when you should take them off; flashbang was in a 1v2 and they spotted his barrel sticking out and were able to prefire him.

Otherwise, you are handicapping yourself greatly when you take the barrel off.

There was probably already enough shaming and naming names in last night's Goonmans, tbh

Not that it was undeserved necessarily, but probably a little harsher than it had to be.

I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

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

goonmans are top tier play, if you don't tell people they are poo poo and awful at the game every time they do something sub-optimal you are playing them wrong - or at least that's how it seemed the last few games I played.

Yeah there are a few people in goonman who will give you the bizz but for the most part if you aren't saying annoying things and seeming to at least make some effort people tend to leave you alone. We have lots of relatively new players who are regulars.

You probably joined after the ready check to make teams. Which means that you weren't assigned to a team so you were sitting in someone's spot and not allowing the game to start.

What did you say the strategy was?
Goonmans are pretty friendly. I played a few and regularly shat out about 3 or 4 kills in a match, but everyone was pretty supportive

This is actually exactly what happened and I understood it because they said "need one more for goonman" but I got there too late so I left and then Overwatch came out so I didn't play CS for months on end. The times before that were pretty good though even though someone got mad at the rest of the team for not talking enough.

Edit: Also they taught me a lot of things when I was first starting out like "STOP AIMING AT THE FLOOR rear end in a top hat" and "JESUS YOU loving IDIOT WALK ONCE IN A WHILE" and they were helpful tips that got me to hover right around that silver/gold nova 1 sweet spot.
