Can someone add to the OP what guns are widely considered bad purchases? I've been playing competitive with a bunch of people who are new to CS, and I'm so new and useless I don't know what to tell them to buy because I always just get ak or m4.

I'm pretty sure we would stand a better chance if we don't go into midgame rounds with sweet dualies and Mac 10s, but I have very little sense of what guns are good at what times. We've won our first 3 competitive matches ever though, so something must be going well!

Only use the scout if you're me. :colbert:

Shotguns can be an effective tool against teams that are saving, but stay away from the auto shotty which is pretty much garbage. They're particularly good at narrow choke points where teams have a tendency to rush through smokes or flashes (like tunnel at B in dust2).

The Deagle is basically a gimmick gun now, but I've warmed up to it. It still has a long way to go towards being useful again, so just opt for a P250\Five-Seven\Tec-9 against armor. The Deagle takes way more patience to use than it should.

MP9 and Mac-10 are crap, but I feel like the Mac is mildly better.

Why do you say to turn off multicore rendering?

A lot of people have performance and crashing issues with it turned on, so I'd imagine most people are probably better off disabling it.

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.

Cent needs to stop being a Dota bumb and play CS again. I miss hearing him say "WHAAAAAAAAT" after getting owned.

My favorite WHAAAAAT was when I accidentally shot him in the head while he was defusing at A on dust2 during a pistol round. I was halfway down long and just shot for the hell of it, thinking it would only do a bit of damage but nope, got him right in the face and killed him halfway into his defuse.

The best part was he had a little laugh right before I shot and it instantly changed gears into WHAAAAAAAAAAT WHYYYY. :allears:

Good times.

My favorite Cent moments happened during a match on de_nuke where we were on opposing teams, and I ended up owning him by complete luck both times.

First time was I was on T in lobby just watching the CT connector to radio room, and I just barely had my cross hair in between two walls so I could just barely be able to see if someone pushed. Well, he decided to push and I one shot him before he even saw me. I felt very proud and knew he had uttered either of his trademark "WHHHHAAATTTT" or "WHATEVER", because how could he not?

Second time was after we had switched sides and I was watching B ramp with an app and smoked the corridor to radio room, and then I just began firing bullshit app shots for the hell of it. Lo and behold, one of those bullets took off his head. Again I had no confirmation of his trademarks, but I knew he had said at least one of them.

Just reminds me of one shotting him three times in a row with a scout at mid on Mirage that time.

"wtf did they buff scout"

lol nope :smugdog:

Welp, looks like my luck ran out with solo queiing. Got into a game on dust2 where I spent the first four or five rounds as the only person on my team with a kill, with teammates that would frequently give up long A and cat and a dude in B who literally never smoked/flashed/fire bombed tunnel. Things didn't get better when we switched to T-side, as they would just run up to DD at A or into B tunnels and would sit for the entire round and get picked up by peeking awpers one by one.

On top of all the stupid poo poo, the game ends and it turns out they were all the same rank as me. :ughh: (opposite team had some eagles and higher ranked dudes mixed in IIRC, and one dude nearly thirty bombed with 12 deaths or so, he didn't even die until the 8th round)

I can't complain too much because most of my solo queue matches have been pretty good and I've been DMG since about 20 wins or so but god drat how those guys were above even low novas was beyond me. I don't mind losing when the games are back and forth or people are just having fun but holy poo poo when your team is loving brain dead the good vibes go away fast as hell.

ideally they'd just mm ban(for overwatch) or vac all accounts that they could feasibly associate with the user(ip address? HWID or something). there's too many wildcard possibilities for them to actually touch accounts that the person wasn't logged in to while cheating though. i mean i know i'd be pretty pissed if my roommate got vac'd and my account was banned. though if you ask me, if you don't immediately evict a person who is cheating under your roof you should be subject to [worse] penalties than the hacker themselves!

If someone finds you're cheating, gaben storms into your home and your personal property becomes Valve's.
