Why can't you go lower? If you change the windows slider for mouse sensitivity away from 6/11 it does some weird poo poo where it scales the mouse movement.

What are some tips for Ts on Inferno? Playing CT comes pretty natural but I'm lost when I have to push; it feels like I'm constantly gambling at every corner, and I only have so many nades. I've only played it a handful of times so far but I'm noticing each team performing noticeably better when they're on the CT side, so I suspect I'm not the only confused noob.

For Inferno I feel as though the best advice is to learn smokes and flashes. I think Inferno has surpassed maps like Train and Nuke as being most dependent on a) a team full of good players, or b) a team who knows some basic strats. If you're just playing regular MM, I'd learn how to do stuff like smoke off CT & coils at B, how to molotov new box and some effective flashes. Same for A, learn how to smoke arches, balcony, pit, etc.

Lately I've been smoking off quad and picking arches from middle, because that's the spot on the map where someone always plays and has the fewest spots to actually play from, so you'll be a lot more successful than trying to pick in B or from balcony. Getting the first kill on A will also force one of the B players to drop to, at least, CT spawn, which opens up more chances.

But now that Operation Bravo is coming to a close, what will they do with the maps? Will the new Valve map be added into the regular map pool or will it still be exclusive to those who bought Bravo? I'm wondering if getting Bravo now would be a waste of money because its ending in a few days.

I've not seen it yet but there's apparently a voting system that will determine which maps from the previous 2 operations are put into the game permanently.

You should vote for Cache and Cache only. Maybe Seaside for a laugh.

Really dumb question from a newbie: How much impact does reporting actually have? Is this game like dota-likes where I can get suspended and banned for bad manners? I don't know if I should be worried at threats of being reported.

I remember one of the devs saying their typical completion time or whatever on reports was about 3 hours. So if you've been being a jerk and you're not banned after 3 hours you should be okay :v:

I am totally happy with the Aug/Sig buff because a more expensive weapon should be somewhat better, right? :smugmrgw:

Yes, but not in such a small amount. The costs involve should evoke decision making similar to buying an AK over a Galil or a A1/A4 over a FAMAS.

And in that case, the choice is "If you have the money, buy it" because the AK and M4 are strictly better?

Essentially, yes. I haven't tested them myself yet but if they're objectively better I think they should be out of reach on round 4 (assuming you won pistols and bought normally) and largely out of reach if you've just come off an eco.

Take the 1.6 route and chop the RoF in half when scoped. Maybe take the unscoped RoF down a touch too. Then put +700 on the prices.

Price is a good deterrent--the autosniper is still ridiculously OP but the price is still prohibitive enough that people don't buy it very often. I'm pretty sure we'd see the same effect with a pricey-er AUG/SG.

Not a tactic when you have team mates alive, but if you're alone and plant don't be afraid to push window immediately and try to surprise someone. Getting an easy kill and potentially clearing outside of B entirely makes it a lot easier.

CS:GO is all about trading kills

It's something that's barely mentioned here but the idea of kill trading is something I'd wager not enough players realise the importance of.

Obviously you shouldn't ever be letting team mates fight alone, but as a terrorist it's worse if you do. If you lose a team mate and don't end up making the trade the rest of the round is usually a pain. If you push with your team mate and kill the guy, it doesn't matter if your team mate dies as well because you force the CTs to adjust, weakening at least one of the sites. Without that trade you don't weaken either site, and now you're 4v5.

As a CT if you push and die, it's not nearly as much of a problem as you have the advantage of defending, and can still quite easily get at least 1 kill as they push.

Obviously this doesn't mean to charge that AWP that just killed your buddy and obviously you'll sometimes lose 3 players to one guy, but it's a point people should learn about and know when to apply it, like everything else in CS.

Bashez posted:

I disagree in general. CT's do not want to trade. It's advantageous for terrorists to trade. CTs have to cover more ground and they need more people to do so. Terrorists only have to defend one site after plant. Generally the situations T's run in to: a 5v 3 or 2 with no trades. After a trade it's usually 4 v 2 or 1. Another trade and it's 3 v 1 or 0. Each trade makes it easier to crack a site. Obviously this is a simplicity that ignores rotates and other metagame stuff.

No team wants to trade. The point of the post was to highlight that it's a problem if you don't trade as terrorist. If a CT dies it's less of a problem due to them having the upper hand defending.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. You've essentially reworded my post. If you're saying CTs should never put themselves in a spot where they may lose a player, I disagree.

Bashez posted:

CT's dying is more of a problem because they have to cover two sites and it stresses the defense. T's gain an advantage on a trade and CT's see a reciprocal disadvantage after a trade.

Obviously the goal as T isn't to trade, as they say at the start of the round, kill them all. But trades help T's and hurt CT's.

There's only two teams, so "no teams want to trade" can't be true, unless you think it's purely neutral for both teams after a trade.

There should be data to this somewhere, but I don't have it.

Everything you've posted so far was addressed, as you've addressed it, in my initial post.

Your initial post reads (to me) that CT's are okay with trying to trade. I think this is bad as it advantages terrorists.

Your subsequent post reads no team wants to trade. I think terrorists gain an advantage by trading, and therefore they want to encourage trades.

Daeno's post is confusing as all hell.

I am okay as a CT trying to get a pick because I know if I get the pick and fall back, it's a lot harder for the Ts. If I push and die with no pick, I'm not really that bothered because the CTs still have a good chance to win.

Which is why my initial post said, if you see a T team mate fighting, it's more important to help him.

But yes I suppose you're right, it's bad when you die.

I can use the AK/M4 and I tend to use them more often than I don't, I am literally just arguing that there are rounds aside from the second and third one where buying an SMG like the UMP is a legitimate thing unless you're at a very high level of matchmaking. That's it. I seriously think you guys may need to channel some of the energy you're wasting on CS:GO into learning how to critically read.

I just wish someone had questioned why you were even arguing this 277 posts ago. No, you're not necessarily wrong, your point just boils down to you saying, "you can kill poo poo players, with poo poo guns."

and fwiw I still think you're mostly wrong from an economy point of view.
