So I reinstalled CSGO last night and played my first game (apart from a single gungame) in something like 8 months. The game ended with me getting TK'd in the last round and two dudes on my team couldn't believe I kept dropping bomb near mid...even though they never called a strat and would just wander into B piecemeal.  It was glorious.

Buck Turgidson posted:I like the crummy common skins way more than most of the really flashy ones. Plus people have so many of them that you can go on a server, beg for a skin, and someone will eventually give you one because they only sell for like 4 cents or something. Like the Urban DPAT m4a4 I got off some random dude in a DM server looks way better than most of the rarer skins I've seen. I typically agree. The only ones I really like that are worth more than a nickel are P250 Supernova, M4A1 Guardian and the AK Laminate series. It always blows me away that people will pay $50 for a skin that looks worse than the default. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Admittedly some of them are so gaudy and garish that they start to look kind of good.

How do weapon drops work? Even when I rank up and it says I'll get a drop...I don't. They're not attached to missions anymore either so are they just a lot rarer than they were for Vanguard?

I'm kind of surprised binds that actually affect gameplay are legal. Never realized that was actually a thing.

I was last alive and just dropped a 5k. Welp, looks like I can finally quit this game because I'm never going to top that. \/ It was a B-rush on D2. I throw a frag pretty much every time I enter site (rushes are insanely effective at my rank, I'm GN4), hosed down two immediately and one more through smoke that my teammate tossed. Popped an AWP that flanked through mid and sat in window (still near B-tun exit) and then waited for the last guy to grab bomb before I dropped him. It makes me feel vindicated that I recently switched from the A1 to the M4. fennesz fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Jun 6, 2015 |

Powerful Wizard IRL posted:why would a jump throw bind be illegal Because binds that buy weapons don't actually impact poo poo but a bind that allows you to ~perfectly throw sick smokez~ is pretty loving dumb. Just learn to be more consistent, learn new spots or don't throw it. I'm also an idiot who always feels the need to do things The Hard Way, so there's that.

The Blue Caboose posted:Basically, the USP is great on pistol rounds and I need to figure out shadowplay and make some gifs. I'm GN4 right now and it's difficult to figure out why some people call plays like they do. I just had a guy on cache insist that we push mid to A. We're vulnerable anyone holding mid-doors and sandbags, then we have to fight through anyone holding backsite, highway barrels or upper into A. Don't get me wrong, the glock owns but it's wildly inconsistent at anything more than 20m. Playing pistol FFA really, really makes you realize how insanely good the USP is at any range but point blank. Even then it's more than serviceable. That said P2000 for me

The Blue Caboose posted:I am personally fond of mid to a on pistol round cache. You usually see a 2-1-2 split on cache, and the rotate from b to a is slower than a to b. If you smoke doors, you have to usually just deal with toxic and quad, and if you do 4 mid 1 squeaky you can flank them out. Even if you don't smoke mid it usually comes down to a 4v1 on the mid dude where you should be able to get him before forklift or truck guy gets to highway. Basically, the idea is that you avoid crossfire by good timing. Hashtag Banterzone posted:If you are going mid on cache you probably want a tec9 and a smoke. If CTs don't smoke garage you should be able to run out and get a pick pretty easily. And then most of the time highway to A is open, though sometimes B can be the better choice if CTs rotate too quickly. Fair. I feel like all of this is requires at least a partially coordinated effort which sure as poo poo isn't happening in GN4 pugs. I'm going to start considering my pistol buys a little more though instead of armor every time. Blindly doing anything, especially in pistol rounds feels like a mistake.

Elman posted:Oh cool, Valve does give a gently caress. I think the reasoning behind this is it would imbalance ranks even more than they currently are. That and queue times for each would probably double and it's a pretty unnecessary addition because ranked doesn't matter at all.

Antares posted:I feel like I'm in control with the USP but everything else you may as well dance in circles spamming left click The P2000 comes close but as soon as you join a pistol server it becomes painfully obvious how inaccurate pistols are. Virtually everyone uses the USP because it's the only one you can actually aim.

Are there any good non-Valve 64 tick FFA/DM's out there? I'm very consistent in FFA/DM always able to do well and click heads and then I drop into a MM game and it just doesn't feel like it used to. The sad thing is I know it's not nerves because I don't really care that much but going to 64 tick is all I can think of that changes. I find myself relying on movement and SMGs instead of clicking heads in MM. It feels bad.Danyull posted:Has anyone been having really lovely lag problems since the last update? I pretty much lose every single fight that revolves around corners because people will just pop out about 5 feet away from it whenever they peek. I had a few games where I would get matched, join and instantaneously lag out and get dropped. A few lag spikes in one or two games since. I honestly chalked it up to my lovely ISP though.

prom candy posted:What's the appropriate call if you hear enemies but don't know how many or anything? "Footsteps"? If it's one, call one. If you hear more than one at the same time say at least two. One could be a lurk but two means it's either a split or a push. Both ways it's solid info.

bpower posted:Silver aim + good calls + 4 or 5 useful nades = MG1 This is an eerily accurate description of my play. Though I have a bad habit of playing when I'm not able to use a mic (people sleeping in the house). Knowing when to walk, peek, play time and lurk helps too. You don't need the best aim in the world if you outplay someone and you're looking at his back.

Bomb plants, round starts/ends, menu music, etc. all have individual sliders. Otherwise, yeah, it'd be annoying as gently caress.

The Blue Caboose posted:It sure does, but in lieu of having a non competitive matchmaking system where i can go to play an actual real game of counterstrike without feeling the need to push myself to try and be as good as I can. Matchmaking is casual. It's not the fault of the game mode if you view it as Try-Hard-Mode. Change how you view the game, not the mode. I've probably said this once or twice now but I play CS with my laptop while sitting on my couch. It's fun because I'm bad at aiming and I enjoy still trying to win games. Just have fun.

I'm MG1 and I literally can't remember the last time I played someone and knew they were smurfing. The only times I can even remember getting poo poo on has always been due to stuff like no one else on the team having in-game comms. I'm not saying smurfing doesn't happen but at the end of the day it's a nerd sitting at a computer just like me. If I'm losing to him I'll eventually get better for it.
