nice. timg4strok never ended up posting his bike techniques, but for those who were looking for them at this point in the video it happens. a bike moving very fast hits a 4-wheeler moving reasonably fast, right in the front wheel, at the Forbidden Angle. see ya later

For some reason my chat became reenabled. Fifty people around me suddenly shouting "friend of the family!!!!" and "CHINA NUMBER ONE!!!!" into their mics. Like, I'm not offended, I just hate hearing the broken screeching sounds of kids going through puberty. I hate knowing one of them is going to certainly kill me and call me a friend of the family while doing squats on my face.

I really love stupid useless stats. Is there a website that not only tracks all my rankings and kills, but also like, how many hits with what guns, and what guns I was hit with? It's why the last multiplayer shooter I played for more than a week was Unreal Tournament 2004. It had all those dumb stats.

Edit: That sounds like a snobby condemnation of multiplayer shooters. I didn't mean for it to be. They're usually just not my thing.

I was looking for a project and using this data to output a report on my game play etc in pubg would be quite cool.

Python code:

I think Pubg doesn't track those stats so the tracker websites don't know them either. But CS:GO has a lot of that.

This is a bit off-topic, but I'm curious; the last time I played Counter-Strike was in 2003-ish. What's the difference between that and CS:GO?

Holy poo poo, I'm also assuming CS:GO is a Counter-Strike game. I've seen it around a lot but never actually looked it up.

It's the most recent iteration of CS by Valve and is still being actively supported and developed. The pro scene around it is extremely healthy as well. If you were in to CS and are looking to get back into it CS:GO is what you're looking for

CS:GO is way more similar to the original CS then CSS as far as shooting mechanics go. I think it is definitely better then both.

Yea, I agree here. CS:GO is the CS that finally killed 1.6 and all of the other offshoots (promod, source, CZ). It's as close to the original with polish as you can get.

I pretty much agree with this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYpnQ4VUGww

Although I think the AUG is probably not as great as the M4, but I rarely use it so who loving knows. My favorite combo is an M4 and K98, hands down.

When do you find yourself switch to the UMP, and why? What's so different between an M4/SCAR on full auto and an UMP? I'm really bad so I don't know

Watch the video I just posted you'll see me toggle between the two pretty often. The UMP has way less recoil than any rifle so you can sustain firing while staying on target for practically the entire mag. In close quarters this allows you to both spray while moving your mouse to hit a very fast moving target effectively- with rifles it's much more difficult to both spray and stay on target.

THE ONLY EXERCISE I AM UNFAMILIAR WITH IS EXERCISING MY ABILITY TO MAKE A POST PEOPLE WANT TO READ
Counter-Strike is great because it has hitscan. Hitscan is fantastic because it means the firearms are an abstraction to enable fun gameplay, and also has great bonus side effects like scaring off insufferable milsim autists and making the server-client interaction much more straightforward. Any game with non-hitscan bullets is worse for it (arena shooters with very slow projectiles excluded obviously).

I tend to use my M4 or SCAR for long-range single shots. I also play in groups exclusively and people are usually trying to take up all the 5.56 ammunition available, so it's easier to keep only one gun that uses that ammunition type and use a different ammunition for my secondary weapon. People tent to not fight over 9 mm like they do with 5.56 or 7.62.

Hitscan with the ranges CS deals with makes sense. Hitscan from in a game like PUBG where you can shoot at somebody 800m away does not make sense.
