Allowing people who are dedicated to a handful of operators to be even better with them.

Forseable consequences:
Bigger skill gap
Enticing people to "main" a handful of operators (even more so than today)
Making top operators become picked more often (as everyone will main them)
Making average to bad operators be picked less often (as nobody will main them)
Making Smurf Ash even more unbearable



Also risk loving up something that work fine and take development ressources away from more urgent needs

You forgot the other thing: fixed recoil patterns make poo poo like AHK or mouse macros way more appealing because you can just program the pattern in them. CSS had a lot of this back in the day.

I for one am glad to download a 26GB update which will give me fewer maps to play, or does that bullshit happen later?

Either way I'm pretty unenthused.

Can someone explain to a non-CS:GO pro what is so bad about fixed recoil? Removing randomness? Allowing people to memorize compensation patterns?

Recoil existing as a thing you have to deal with is pointless if it can be overcome with a macro that reliably eliminates it.

26GB?! What the gently caress they removed more maps than added and downgraded the textures.

I don't think they're physically removing maps yet, just removing from the rotation for now, but supposedly that will change later. Also this patch has quite a bit of optimization so you have to re-download a bunch of stuff basically, not just new content.

On an unrelated note Hard did SOMETHING so that me and my friend with an even shittier computer both get a solid 60 FPS on every map all the time. It's incredible and makes the game so, so much more fun.

It's 42 GB cause you have ultra textures, it's there in the Blood Orchid patch notes.

Are the servers up yet?

Huh.
I guess that someting is wrong cause my buddy had to download the PC Patch 3 times before the game started up.

And we're all getting the "hey dude that video driver of your dont look so good" announcement from uplay. Plus another one of my buddies can't play because the new game code puts too much strain on his CPU and he went from 80FPS to 50 ;f

Only really a problem with knives for me. For some reason I absolutely cannot for the life of me kill anyone by knifing them. I get three or four attempts in at point blank before they shoot me.

One time the "you were killed by" screen had a picture of me knifing them in the face.

You might need to manually select a region, for whatever reason mine just says -1 for ping and has a random region when I leave it on default. Think my last region was SBR which is Brazil isn't it?

Did the update make Shotguns even less accurate? I don't expect one hit kill but if Ash is on the landing I'm at the top of the stairs a chest /facial should do more than 20%. I had a few other shots that seemed dead to rights and the pellets went around the targets like they had the Fortune device.

yeah, they're all pretty fun! lesion seems the weakest of the 3 but the easiest so it balances out

also Ela is everything i ever wanted from a defender:

just gotta get used to that loving recoil and her shotgun will be as fun as the russian one :laugh:

if you wanna play srsly though, she is a great pair to any roamers that know how to backtrack because you can improvise traps in like 2 seconds and setup immediate ambush spots while they think they are chasing a lone Cav or whatever

So Hard, how is it that every time there's a seasonal patch the hit reg breaks completely again and you have to spend three months fixing it? Every single time?


E: And I'm only directing this at you because you're the guy who works on it here, it's probably nothing you're doing or could do anything about, but at some point it's an absurd level of incompetence that it has happened not once, not twice where it might be understandable, but seven times.

I didn't find Ela particularly difficult to fight against, then again I played as IQ and Tatcher almost exclusively. God it feels so good playing as IQ now, there are very few situations that you don't get to use your gadget and Pulse hunting has never been this fun. We've noticed that the flash effect from the Grzmot mine has friendly fire, dunno about the stun effect. First time it got me I thought my mouse broke, didn't realize it would gently caress with my sensitivity. Hit reg doesn't feel different with the exception of shooting at Frost - she's super resistant to bullets, but overall the peek game is much more fair I guess. All the times I died peeking last night I was always able to see my killer before they shot me, which is good, this is what I wanted with this patch.

Also someone should be made aware (just as usual - ignore the screaming Poles) that Mira windows are still bugged in some places: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouzuGPJFYK8
