Suggestion for the OP: This playlist

And question: is there a way to access the demos that the server records of goonpugs? Or should I just get into the habit of demostarting every game I play?

All this amazing technology discussion. Let's just go the whole hog and have it automatically capture all the marked demos, compile them into a video file every month and upload them to YouTube with a random song from the Official Goonpug Playlist

Any setting above 6/11 will cause it to skip/miss pixels, and vice versa. 6/11 is the only "1:1" setting.

Thanks for this discussion. Just checked mine and it was 5/11, which I can now use as an excuse for my terrible performance in all goonmans prior.

Also time for another episode of what I hope is becoming a popular series!

I'm using the new steelseries rival and it's a loving fantastic mouse. The rubberised sides are so loving comfy and it just fits my hand so well, and I definitely got a lot better at CS when I traded up to it from my venerable MX518.

I've got a video of a 5 kill round using only a scout. It's super pubstar play though, so I won't be posting it here.

I guess what I'm saying is that you can use the non-viable guns as long as you're either smurfing or low rank.

The scout still gets occasionally picked up in high-level play as a poverty buy but only by players with extremely good aim. The babby rifles are of course poverty buy mainstays, and for certain roles on certain maps shotguns are also valid poverty buys. There's plenty of weapons that get used in this game, it's just that at high level play they're not worth it if you can afford an M4 or AK.

Apparently my headphones are broken? I could still hear gunshots, but not defusing or people talking. Like the tweeter broke but not the bass? And it must have been intermittent too...

I don't feel so bad about that Cache round, though. Not my fault! :( Need to buy new headphones I guess.

Make sure you aren't using 5.1 sound in the game options, it's bugged.

Even ESEA has changed it to where dead teammates can communicate with living teammates. I'm guessing mainly so you can still call things even if you get bum-rushed and die immediately or mid-sentence.

Uh, it's more that it's an unenforcable rule. If you place any restrictions whatsoever on the ingame voice chat then people simply won't use it in favour of external VOIP apps.

The only very niche use for a molotov is forcing an enemy out of an enclosed area. stuff like that loving big box on season B site or the various hidey holes on toscan A. It's very rarely worth the cost.

Really if you're playing serious CS you should be rotating sites and moving around the map based on what your team mates are calling. If your team mates aren't calling then you're just playing a game of chance and probabilities.

Haha did one of you guys ban zach for cheating? I wasn't in the server but here's what he said on skype:

code:
[06:03:36] Zach: Killed a guy mini
[06:03:41] Zach: sprayed door cause w.e gently caress it yolo
[06:03:44] Zach: guy shoots back
[06:03:46] Zach: I run to mini
[06:03:48] Zach: hear him reload
[06:03:50] Zach: he kills me
[06:03:53] Zach: banned for cheating
[06:03:54] Zach: lmao
[06:03:57] Zach: loving pathetic
I've known him for a while, and he's not a cheater. What exactly happened from you guys' point of view?

Obviously I'm his friend so I'm going to stick up for him. That said I'm kind of surprised that this has turned into such a huge thing, I didn't expect other people to stick up for him and I'm kinda grateful for that when the evidence can look pretty damning at times.

So let me give you a backstory on me and Zach. I've known him for a few years now and we play a lot of games together, and csgo is just the latest of those. When I gave up on MM, he kinda dragged me back into it, played with me and tried (and failed) to carry me out of gold nova and we both got tired of dealing with the rank gap between his elite and my nova generally putting us with a team of players barely better than me VS a team of players only slightly worse than him.
He started to ask me about the passworded server I was in a lot, I showed him some of the Fat Lou vids, he liked them and asked if he could play. I'd heard other people in the server before talking about having a buddy in or mentioning they were a friend of goon X so I figured it was cool. I first gave him the server password about 2 months ago and although he doesn't exactly play every night, for the most part he's been participating occasionally and getting along with most people both with me and when I'm not around as well.

He's mentioned to me a few times that he thinks I play goonpugs too much, that the level is too low and I won't learn things and improve by playing against the same people all the time. Maybe as a tangent of that, I don't often see him playing and buying seriously when he plays goonmans - he fucks around and does a lot of dumb poo poo just like he does when he plays with me in MM against novas. I told him a few times that would piss off some people but he doesn't really care. And for the record I don't think he's massively upset at being banned from the server, he spends most of his time playing MM or pugs with another group of friends who are actually at his level. So I don't even know if a big debate about it is necessary when I don't even know if he wants to come back to the server again.

This isn't really me defending him, more a character reference for people wondering exactly who this guy is and how he got here. I've known him for a long time and he frankly just doesn't care enough to cheat at these kinda games. But obviously I can't offer any absolute hard evidence that he isn't a hacker, so I'm not really going to join in with this debate despite me being the "cause" of it. He's my friend, if he gets unbanned and we can goonpug together again that'd be cool, if he doesn't then I'll probably buy him a smurf account next time csgo is on sale and we'll go back to loving around in MM. What I'm more concerned about right now is inter-goon drama kicking off because of someone I invited to the server and I'd really like it if everyone could just cool off for now because this makes me feel real lovely.

I only started playing competitively in like November and I'm already generally fragging in the top 3 of my team whenever I play goonmans. I have a 5 year coin but don't be fooled, I spent those 5 years very sporadically playing gungame 24/7 servers with a 1 inch 360.

Why don't Valve just include an option in the menu to matchmake in 64 or 128 tick? Switch half of their servers to 128 and only put people on servers according to which option they picked.

If everyone (or at least all but one) person on your team can afford armor, helmet, and a rifle then you all buy armor, helmet & rifle. If multiple people can't afford helmet & rifle, then just buy a P250 or FiveseveN and no armor, and save money for next round.

This is all in the OP with way more detail.

Also note that this is just a starting point for beginners. As you get better you'll get used to concepts like keeping your money even with your team on save rounds. You can spend a bit more on nades or even armour if you're the richest.
