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!

Duelies every round is the way to victory.

This is never going to happen, because of the framerate thing.

They should just make 2 queues. One for 64 and one for 128. Force players to do a benchmark to get into 128 tick queue. Everyone is happy. Except for the scrubs in the 64 tick queue.

They should fix the memory leak and the smoke bug first.

There's currently some bug/hack going on that is VAC banning a lot of legit players in matchmaking servers.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/648814845701248462/

Go to vacbanned.com and refresh the page, there's giant groups being banned every second.

So no, the game is still AUG/Krieg heaven, and I wouldn't recommend playing matchmaking for the time being.

That bug is fixed. Also the way that vacbanned site works is it looks for the "This account has vac bans on file". It constantly runs checks and will always be gathering huge amounts of people every second. It doesn't mean they are banned, it means they were checked.

Is there some reason besides lack of space that some players play with their keyboard nearly sideways? I watched some of the dreamhack invitational and at least some NiP players had keyboards turned 45 degrees clockwise. Why? Is this another mouse sensitivity discussion?

So you don't need to straighten your arm awkwardly to keep your fingers on WASD. I actually have a keyboard that has a slanted section for common shooter keys. If you ever get this keyboard you can never go back.

The CZ is complete trash come on lets get real. 24 bullets? In an automatic weapon? With worse accuracy than the tec 9? It's like a big plays preventer.

It would be one thing if the P250 didn't exist, but if you've equipped the CZ for anything other than comedy you've made a grave mistake.

I mean, we're not global elite or anything but my little brother and I regularly take turns acing the other team with UMPs/P90s at double AK / AK with laurels. Most people that aren't hacking at that level can't consistently one tap someone with an AK or M4 and can't follow the burst pattern close up. This might change at global elite or something but from what I understand the global elite queue has a bunch of hackers in it anyway.

At range the rifle will win of course, but close up it's easily 60/40 the SMG, and at mid range it's only like 40/60 in the rifle's favor. If you're losing to a rifle with an SMG 90/100 at any range the problem is probably in your reflexes, not the gun and you'd have lost 90/100 with an AK.

The shamrock cup teams are now locked in and we are accepting predictions for the outcome, which will be accepted until the first real game begins.

When is that? Whenever San Goonino and Nova F.C. are ready and both of their captains message me to tell me so. Here's the final bracket:


http://challonge.com/goonshamrockcup

Prediction is now open, which means you can bet on the results basically. You just won't win anything unless people put up rewards for a perfect bracket or something.

Also, my team desperately needs as 4th and will accept pretty much anyone. Message/mention at me in the CS:GO Goons chat. I'm Fantastic/Jean-Jean
I'll try to keep most of the posting in the Buttmen Brigade thread, but I'll try to post the results at the end, and maybe make a video.

I'll probably have to withdraw. I work 7 days a week and I doubt we'll ever get all 8 people on within the 4 hours I'm able to play. I was on vacation 12th to the 22nd, I thought it would be ok since you scheduled it on the last day of my vacation but it didn't happen.

Mesothelioma posted:

seriously, what can I do to improve my aim? I'm consistently missing shots I should.
You can just be legit bad at aiming and need practice or you may just be doing something wrong. If you post a demo we can tell you whats up.

Make sure you are at a full stop when firing. Even a little movement will send your bullets to the moon. Once you get better you will be able to stop, shoot, move really fast. Make sure you set up for shots too. Even on T side you can set up to headshot a CT peeking, your crosshair should always be at head level where the enemy will peek out.

The real trick when throwing is to throw hard enough that you lose without throwing so hard that you get kicked.

Just plug in a 360 controler and ramp up the sensitivity. Also play music in the background.

In fairness, that's kind of the nature of pistols. I have more accuracy with every single pistol than I do with the AK. (Including the Deagle even, and that doesn't even make sense!)

No exceptions. I have also built 3 new computers and moved 3 times since then. If the UAC(Universal Anti-Cheat) was in effect I probably wouldn't of risked it either. It's a very good deterrent. Maybe instead of hardware bans it just bans your social security number. Now that would be a good drat anti-cheat.
