You don't and it's rather easy to test in game. Try both ways and it's clear that not holding both directions is better.

I'm a bit confused on sidestep shooting. As far as I know you press the opposite movement key to quickly get your accuracy up. Do you do that by holding the opposite key with the current key to stop or do you just take your finger off your movement key and quickly tap the opposite key?

You just let up on the direction you're moving and tap the other direction, that's it.

Right. I just tested it and tapping the opposite key instead of holding it seems like the way to go.

Here's a great video I found on it too:

The first kill this video is one of the most :drat: kills I've gotten since being born and it's because med/high sens allows for really fun shots and super aggressive play. I like that

I think the mac10 can be pretty good, once you get the hang of the spray. The mp7 is definitely better, but it's also a lot more expensive.


If I feel like I am put in situations where I can spray, I go with the mac10. If I need to get those instant smg headshots, or to hit people peeking over boxes, then I go for the mp7.



I never buy the mp9 though. I'd rather get the ump than the mp9.


Mac 10 is decent, at $1050 it's probably one of the smarter buys considering you'll only be using it for 2 rounds, otherwise I usually use the Bizon (and rarely the UMP). $1700 is kind of a high price considering what it is, plus the MP7 is ugly... I want the MP5 back :(

Best aspect of MM: Rush out long and get a quick glock pick, run back to T spawn and buy a Mac-10.

I would hardly call 10"/360 high sensitivity. That's what I've always played at. I used to see the rare person at supreme master with a stupidly high sens like 2"/360 and I'm not sure how they even got there in the first place. When just walking in a straight line causes your screen to jitter you have a problem.

e: I surf at 6.5/360 and couldn't imagine playing normal CS at that sens.

It's a high sensitivity. 2" is stupid, 10" is high.

I mean it obviously works for you but it's still high.

I'll have to check when I get home, but I don't think I can even do a 180 on my >12" mousepad with my sensitivity.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I found some settings in my mouse's propriety software that was slowing stuff down. So it was more like 7 inches for a 360 :ms:

I used to play with a much higher sens and mouse accel, so I could turn on a dime p much.

Seriously though, if Prostidude, Fat Lou, and myself end up being on a team together, there is an 85% probability that we will lose, but I can guarantee that we are having the most fun in a Goonman.

I changed the mouse settings in control panel and :drat: what a difference. It felt very awkward moving my mouse around for the first 10 minutes.

Also changed my cross-hair from default to a dot which I've gotten used to after a couple matches. Just got better at headshots :D.

I think I'm gonna start using the deagle again just to see how it plays out. It feels like the aim is a little bit tighter now, just enough to make it somewhat viable if you can be patient with it.

I personally wouldn't bother because the deagle is useless on mid-long ranges because of the ridiculously bad accuracy. You can't even predict where your shots are going at all.

At those ranges you can probably go for 2-3 body shots instead of a headshot. If you get a decent position on someone, you can probably plug 2 rounds into them pretty quickly if you're careful, and that's like 90 damage right there.

If you have more money than your teammates and you're able to gauge how much cash you'll have left the next round to be able to do a half buy, then sure, buy armor on an eco. If you're smart you could probably even buy a Nova or Mag-7. Again, depending on how much crash you have and if you're confident you'd be able to get a kill or two with a Nova/Mag-7.

Every once in awhile I'll have a streak of wins and my teammates will be competent and there won't be any rage.

But odds are if you're playing CS or DOTA (really any competitive game) there's gonna be hardcore rage.

I know I've been raging at the pubbies I get MM'd up with.

Pistol isn't eco. Buy armor on pistol. Don't buy armor on eco.

I'm terrible too but I'm learning.

I'ma buck you up.
Right.

On an Eco round at most you should buy a p250/fives seven and maybe a nade or two if you have a good amount of money(say if i have 3100 to start, ill go p250 smoke flash).

Just wait to buy till you see your team getting stuff.

You can worry about buying shottys and other weird Eco things when you know the game a little better, you will know when you can/cannot deviate.
