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.

Cowabanga posted: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? I do both, sometimes I'll tap it to stop and shoot, other times i'll hold it, strafe back and forth and try to time my shots each time I change directions.

So during the winter sale I bought like 3 new accounts to just mess around with in matchmaking. Anyways, I've been doing kind of dickish things like losing on purpose to see how low of a rank I can get, then see about ranking up from there. I've found that the ranks seem to be fairly accurate, at least for me. Every time I've found I could basically carry almost every game to victory until I get up to my skill group(high badge, low eagle? I kind of bounce between those two). If you are getting stuck in the lower ranks, and think you have a pretty good shot, I'd recommend taking things slower. Do more slow walking/creeping, and if they frequently push then sit back and let them push in to you first. Rushing can be good sometimes too(especially if you can rush something like long A on d2 and get that pick quickly), but taking things slow is a lot more reliable. Also: Use your sound! Listen for footsteps and check it against your radar. It's so easy to pick people off one by one when you can hear them coming and they don't know where you are.

soscannonballs posted:As a really terrible player should I not be doing competitive mode? I assumed it would be placing me against other bad players but people are getting mad at how bad I am and I don't want to ruin games. In my smurfing experience, i've noticed people at the lower ranks seem to get more angry at bad players than at higher ranks. Doesn't really make sense to me, since I'd expect people at the lower ranks to be kind of bad... But it's definitely something I've noticed. But, people still get mad at the higher ranks too, and will call you bad over anything. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Players in CS:GO just like to rage. I'd say just play MM. Deathmatch is good too, but it's really only good for practicing your aim. You need to play MM to learn timing, flashes, smokes, camp spots ect ect. So, do both. DM for practicing aim, and MM for practicing strats. Don't worry about your rank too much, it really doesn't matter much and as you improve your rank will naturally go up.

Necc0 posted:My only complaint is that the deathcam lasts about twice as long as it should. That or make it so your deathcam never leaves your perspective so in 90% of cases you're just looking at the sky/ground. I agree with this. I think it's pretty stupid that you can have a team full rush something, kill a guy, then that guy gets to sit there watching whether this team is actually rushing, or if they start falling back immediately after killing you. You shouldn't get 5 seconds to sit there and go "They are rushing long! Oh wait no, they all backed off, wait it was a double juke and they are pushing it again!" all after they kill you. It should switch to spectating another player much faster.

I like that they are mixing up the weapon balance. Personally, I'd like to see m4/ak get nerfed along with the aug and sg, to the point that the aug/sig are just a little bit better than the m4/ak, and the m4/ak are just slightly worse than what they are now.

Honestly, I think it'd be perfectly fine for them to leave them the way they are, but increase the price substantially. I think that'd work pretty well, because there is a lack of guns in the 3.5-4.5k range. I think, at their current price range, they are a bit overpowered but I also think some people in this thread are WAY overreacting. Also, someone being a pro doesn't mean they automatically know better than everyone else. It's pretty common in most competitive esport games for something to come out, and have a ton of claims about it being overpowered until people learn to deal with it.

I don't mind the custom loadouts at all, I think it makes the game more interesting. Only downside that I can see is that they have more guns to balance, but as long as they balance it properly I don't see the problem. I think it adds flavor. Plus, like fat lou, I wanted an auto pistol too.

I only messed around with it for like 5 minutes, and it seemed pretty strong. But I don't think i'll ever have it as my only gun, you burn through those 24 bullets very fast. So it'll only really ever be used as a secondary weapon to a rifle, and in that case I don't think it seemed overpowered. But like I said, 5 minutes of just dicking around, so my opinion is subject to change.

ProfessionalNinja posted:Also, you still get credit for the win even if you were kicked (I believe). My friend got credit for a win even though he disconnected and his 3 minutes timed out in the last few rounds of a match the other day, not sure if kicking has the same effect though. That's happened to me, but only when I got kicked very close to the end. I've gotten kicked from a game i'm certain was won by my team, and not gotten the credit as well. Theresa Frontpage posted:Isn't matchmaking rank based on rounds won, not games won? At least you still get credit for the rounds you played, if not the satisfaction of seeing the VICTORY thing. I don't think anyone knows for certain because we can't see our actual elo. So the only hint we get is whether we rank up after a game or not. I've ranked up on a tie and on a win, but never on a loss. Not to say that rounds won(or even score) has no impact, it could make you lose less elo if you did well, but I don't think it has enough of an impact to make you gain elo on a loss.

Anyone remember the De_lite map? Just asking because a friend of mine did a reproduction of the 1.6 version of the map. He said he tried to copy the 1.6 map as perfectly as possible. I haven't played it yet, but i'm kind of interested in trying it out. I could get the map to try out if anyone else is interested.

Solo Queueing works just fine for me. It's an elo system, so you don't really get dragged down by those lovely players or by trolls. It's an average, and on average everyone will get those lovely players and trolls at the same rate. Just win more than you lose, and if you don't then maybe you belong at your elo.

I watched about half of each demo. I saw a few things which I might call suspicious(like happening to push at the right times, or turning around and watching a flank at the right time), but nothing I'd call conclusive. I think you can find suspicious activity with most decent players too. Hell, I remember in css being accused of hacking, being handed a demo of myself and thinking "Wow, that does look suspicious". I also think it is possible to hack and look less suspicious than someone who doesn't hack. All it takes is a little bit of discipline in what information you act on. If this person was hacking, then he certainly didn't act on a LOT of information he would have had. It can be hard to differentiate between knowing where someone is, and making decent guesses based on where someone could have gone since they were last seem. My opinion doesn't really matter, I just feel like putting my 2 cents in anyways. I think he could be hacking, and could be legit, but it could go either way and I don't think there was enough evidence from what I watched. But I was always one to err on the side of not-guilty if I couldn't solidly prove it. Then again, someone said he admitted to hacking on alt accounts? Definitely something that would make me more suspicious, and less sympathetic to him being banned.

I feel like whatever it is, I'll just play with goonmans and get my face wrecked in 100x because given how easy it is to rush and get kills in silver mm, I'll probably be a worse player graduating from the lower ranks than someone should be coming out of them. You can play with any rank, it does matchmaking based on averaging each teams elo basically. Just make a habit of playing a lot slower in goonmans, watch corners more and don't push much.

I think you can make a good argument for saying that, on average, lower sensitivity is better. And it's definitely something I'd suggest at least trying to a newcomer to cs:go. But I think that individual preference and familiarity can play a big part too. There are definitely people at the pro level with high sensitivities who are better than us all. So there's that too. -edit- I just realize, I haven't looked at my mouse sense in a while, and it's set at 3.0 and 800. I wonder if the values got reset some time ago, and I just never realize it.... Guess i'll have to do some fiddling. Apogee15 fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Coleman posted:I really wish this conversation would just die. The bottom line is, when you look at appropriate sensitivities, there needs to be a range, not a magic number. 2.0 at 800 (or 900 like me) DPI might be on the HIGH side of "normally low" but it's still going to be fine if you can adjust to it. You just hate anything people argue over, don't you? =( I enjoy a good argument. Or a bad one too, I guess. Yeah, I guess I just like arguing.

People take MM very seriously but I got to say it was a lot of fun despite the lovely attitude of our pubbie teammates. A funny thing i've noticed after playing around with different accounts at different ranks... People at the lower ranks get angry a LOT faster than people at higher ranks. You can be top fragging in silver elo, and you miss a clutch and suddenly your entire team is voting to kick you. I mean people get mad at the higher ranks too, but I've definitely noticed it more frequently when i'm smurfing. Maybe it's because there are more trolls at the lower ranks, so people have lower tolerance for any shenanigans.

What do you do against people that can actually aim at stuff? I occasionally like to use the UMP, but i don't use it to spray. I use it to dink people with 1-3 shot bursts. Only spray in emergencies, or when very close. But UMP is my favorite long range SMG for when you can't afford a rifle.

I find that unless i'm very close range, spraying with the ak is almost always a bad idea. Also, I prefer to try to one click the ak. I might do a few 2 round bursts, and I usually start out with a 2 round burst. But I find that if I keep trying to do 2 round bursts I get a lot less hits than when I keep it to 1 round bursts.

I think that consecutive wins have an impact on elo gain. I mean given equal elos each game you would gain more elo if you win 5 in a row and lose 1 than if you won 2 lost 1 and won 3. not 100%, but it sure seems that way. Regarding the rank distribution, If you go in to your leaderboard, it shows a percentage for your rank. But I'm not entirely sure what the percentage means. I would assume it means what percentage of people are at your elo, but that doesn't seem right because my two badge accounts are at 22.5% and 7.3% and my eagle account is at 68.0%. I have a silver II account at 17.4% So I'm not entirely sure what the percentage means... Apogee15 fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Mar 6, 2014 |
