Stop the mouse discussion, seriously. Everyone has different comfort levels that allow them to perform efficiently. This is the worst subjective argument on the planet.

I said this irl after seeing the vid then scrolled down and saw your post and wanted to brofist my monitor.

Also damnit none of my vids are linked in the first post. I'm bad though so I guess that makes sense.

Nuke and Inferno are brutal maps T side mostly because a lot of players are afraid of dying and/or going first in a push to put a crack in the CT team's holds on areas. If you got a team with confidence and little fear of fighting people set up on those tight corridor peeks than you're gonna start winning rounds instead of being picked off one by one.

You're gonna have that in a lot of maps, really, but on chokepoint maps like Inferno and Nuke, the effect is exacerbated.

Is there any valid strategy to employ with decoy grenades, specifically when they are used as intended (to decoy; not to fakeflash)?

The best way to throw people off who use the radar is to toss a decoy near a commonly played spot if you hold a site and there's a rush coming, it might either give them pause or cause them to line themselves up for better picks. Despite being only $50 I'd rather save the cash. Largely they aren't effective and you could use the grenade slot for another type.

If you do have a decoy though, just don't throw it at round start. That doesn't help anyone.

How does a molotov not? I usually buy both, and just drop one when the other runs out; the only way to counter a molotov is to drop a smoke on it, which would kind of be screwing your own team over when it comes down to it.

Smoke can also SLIGHTLY hinder you. You also can't see past the smoke, and while its true someone who runs right out of smoke has an inherent disadvantage because they're blind for a bit even if their model is fully visible, if there's a rush through smoke, you are gonna see a bunch of people just pop right out. A molotov inhibits them even more if you have a good angle because if they push through it, they take damage, and they can't stop moving to shoot back at you, so they are very exposed visibly AND taking damage the more time they are in the fire.

Different strategies call for different grenade usage, but molotovs can pay off quite heavily. In no way am I saying smoke should be underestimated, no one wants to push through into the open being completely blind.

That double knife defense I had on mirage_ce last night was boss. Just saying. Also the 40 bomb on season wasn't even enough to carry for a win. So sad.

Zwiftef posted:

A neat side effect of this is that a smoke that lands on top of a fire is actually a little higher up than a normal smoke. My brother uses this when he holds apartments on Inferno to be able to see their feet while they're stuck in smoke.

Is that right? Hmm...

Great patch, but I don't expect the fire rate changes to stay. Accuracy yes, but the fire rate makes it insane. For 200 more than the M4A4, the AUG fires faster, does more damage per bullet, and is more accurate in bursts.

I'm sure the crashing will be addressed.

Getting used to shortnading is tricky. I still haven't figured out when it's useful on the fly, probably gonna have to run around on a listen server and try out some throws.

A good instance that comes to mind is if you're hugging near a corner like inferno's apts and you can do a toss to surprise flash anyone trying to snipe in from grave/library. Similar for Mirage's apts.

It's pretty situational, but if it comes up, I would much prefer the toss to a fuckin' baseball pitch.

Yeah I was on ak-colt trying to deag from t to ct spawn and it wasn't working at all, really. Was hoping for reincarnated CS:S Deagle but nope :(

The only time it was laser accurate is when it came out on release. It still kicked like a mule but very viable on ranges up to dust2 pit to plat. Now you still roll the dice a little bit with standing accuracy but you're not caught in a huge accuracy cooldown if your first shot misses and you get in trouble. It's a lot tighter with crouch-firing, by the way. THEN you can snipe some heads.

I think the gun makes a lot of sense for being 800 now. I don't believe it should be the laser death cannon it was in Source. (Although I selfishly wish it was)

If you're newer to the games, a dynamic crosshair can help give you some indication your accuracy is going into orbit. A lot of people prefer to have a static crosshair though, I assume because having it jump around can be annoying.
