i'm so consistently bad at every aspect of this game that I'm impossible to read for actually decent players

if this were a fighting game I'd be a button masher or the guy who only spams low kicks and fireballs

I made it to DMG by only buying p90 and jump spraying around corners or w+mouse1'ing every round. Never ecoing, if I cant afford a p90 I'll buy an ump or nova and do the same. Always rushing as ct, and playing the most unpredictable spots / attempting to flank every drat round. 90% of my kills are cheesed.

Gold Nova 3.

Speaking of which, any idea how to escape Gold Nova limbo?

Use only the P90 and be smart about where you play. Force opponents to meet you at closer ranges than they would normally fight at. Use smokes and flashes to re-position yourself into the most annoying spots. Try to peek when your opponent is pushing or moving between cover. Also bind f to 'say' a poo poo-talk bind of your choosing, so you can hammer it within 100ms of killing your opponent.

Also learn the P90s spray pattern and learn how it reacts when you're running/jumping. If you can't get a 3k down dust 2 long without letting go of mouse1, then your just bad.

^^ This is all good advice.

So gonna preface this by saying if you are a dick, or grossed about by birth defects don't click the link. I don't give a poo poo what you think.


I'm looking to upgrade my keyboard to mechanical, but based on my current WASD method I don't know if it will be too good of an idea.

To play I essentially do (it's a picture of a stump, full warning if you are squeamish) this with my left stump. I can move forwards, backwards, side to side by basically rocking back and forth, I don't put a huge amount of pressure on it. Would a mechanical keyboard be too "clicky" for me?

I was also considering a keypad, but the elevation I see probably wouldn't work.

Serious answer: Mechanicals are available with many variety of keys. They vary in terms of activation force. There are also 'clicky' and 'non-clicky' varieties. The most popular style is the Cherry MX range. My keyboard uses Cherry MX Black keys - which don't click and require a medium force (a bit more than a standard keyboard). I don't know what it's like to type with a stump, but a keyboard Cherry Black keys would probably be a good option, maybe go for Red keys which need an even lighter force.

Blacks are kind of heavy, I'd use reds myself. I have browns currently but that's really just reds + some tactile thing that you don't really need. Maybe get blues if you want to hear the clicking sound

No you see what you need is some Super Blacks which are like 3 times stiffer than reds because gently caress your appendages.

Something like 30 days, but afaik you don't lose your rank as much as it just hides your displayed one, I've always gotten my old rank back when winning my first match anyway

Kinda, yes. CSGO has MMR decay, so your rank will drop slowly over time if you don't play. When your rank 'disappears', it still remains but is hidden until you win another match, at which point the game will attempt to re-rank you based upon your MMR and that games outcome blah blah you know what I mean, I think. #whogivesashit

I really don't play much at all, but I'm starting to get into it again (I'm hot and cold with CSGO really).

Do you get waaaaay less experience for playing Deathmatch vs the actual regular mode? It's going to take me forever to get to rank 2. I enjoy deathmatch for now, since it helps me learn more about the guns and maps in a different way than regular would.

Or is my lack of experience only due to the fact that I suck and only get something like <10 kills per match?

Currently casual is 4x your score, demolition is 2.5x (used to be 4x, and it was great for ranking up as the rounds are generally shorter), deathmatch and arms race are something dumb like 0.1x so don't bother with them. Deathmatch is a good way to practice the game anyway, its a better tool than casual, but don't play it just to rank up.

The weekly bonus is around 3x your experience on top, so that 4x multiplier in casual is actually 16x while the bonus applies.

As it's all based on score, you will rank up faster for getting more kills, planting/defusing, etc. All I can suggest is "git gud, kid".

Why would they run through smoke? Why would the other players pushing long not kill you?

On dust2 you're meant to smoke mid (every day), then rush lower with a mag7 to rekk scrubs who are pushing B, with the ultimate goal of getting a chance knife in there somehow as well.

It's also a CT strat, just replace 'B' with 'tunns'.

Well yeah. That's the strategy I mentioned. I just replace p90 with mag7 as the tight corridor lends itself to just as many kills achieved, and the mag7 kills carry a higher kill reward.
