Turn all graphics settings to low/off and lowering the resolution should help a lot, a few updates ago they reset every ones graphics settings with a new auto detection setting because valve.

Also I am pretty happy with still being DMG after the changes a few months ago to rankings, games are a lot closer and have less wild swings in skill gap between players unless a rare smurf appears.

N64 mode for the win.

This thread boosted my FPS by a lot.

huh. I might try that. Although I do like N64 mode.

Also some people actually report performance improvement from using -lv in their launch commands.

-lv activates "low violence" mode for countries that mandate it. You no longer kill your enemies but instead your bullets bully them into throwing their hands up and then they collapse to the floor.

There might actually be something behind this since there's no longer blood splatter/spray and the dead bodies don't rag doll (the surrender animation is preprogramed so no calculations done). So there's less going on. :shrug: I guess.

Probably not. At best they took the over arching "suggestions" the map maker had, like "fix toxic" and "rafters are OP" and worked on those without using his "fixes" for those problems. Cause his fixes didn't actually fix anything.

Which I always thought was the point. I figured it was a troll map that broke Nuke in the other direction.

Uh, buy it if you want.

If you play halfway decently you'll finish the starter missions in one go and get a quick item.

If it's a case you'll can sell it right now for like $13, but that goes way down as time goes on.

Overall though you'll come out on top if you sell your drops then just buy what you like from the new stuff after. Other than awps and knives and such obviously.

As much as I disliked Bloodhound's maps I realized after it ended I missed doing dumb missions. It's also kind of interesting to look back and see how many aces/wins/whatever you had at the time.

And everyone gets a chance at that Medusa or Dragonlore! :v:

Yeah, not gonna lie, playing the missions was fun. and like 90% of the reason I played anything but gun game and goonmans. Also the extra xp is nice for leveling up the account rank thing.

Still so happy that I made back the cost of the operation plus some bonus within like 10 min of getting it. Still wish they didn't have the two mission a day limit.

Those blitz missions seem interesting. but I'm going to miss 1 or 2 every day they happen since they're at 10am, 3pm, and 8pm. Not sure who those times are good for really...

I was hoping there'd be a mini blitz campaign or guaranteed drops for winners or something. It's fine for what it is but XP is beyond worthless.

I think it's a good way to include competitive in the mission mix. Also, I'm not sure that the blitz missions are only competitive.

Looking back at past operations, the complaints people had were usually taken care of in the next.

First people complained that comp missions required a WIN, which could take way too long.

Next Op had comp missions based around rounds instead of winning overall. Most of the other missions followed as well, dealing with things you could do in a match instead of just winning it. People still complained that the competitive missions sucked and were still hard to finish because people would just grief in comp. And people not playing the Op complained that comp was unplayable for similar reasons.

This Op? No competitive matches in the mission book, either story line. It's all casual game types. The Gemini story line is all guardian co-op as well. So now people doing the Op don't really have to worry about competitive missions (except for xp and playing the new maps) and people doing competitive don't have to worry about people in the Op loving up normal games (since they're only scheduled 3 times a day, and only once in the evening).

Apparently Mikla is pissing off Turks in a whole lot of ways.

Some of it sounds like they were just making jokes using a bad translator. They're upset that 'gun fights are fun for whole family' is racist, but its probably just meant to be a fourth-wall joke about playing counter-strike. Some of the other stuff is a little worse I guess.

And of course reddit disregards it entirely because "I want to laugh at you".

Never queuing competitive without a 5 stack ever again.

Ran into 3 tweens who decided from round 1 they were going to ruin me and buds game.

They spent 26 rounds griefing us, jumping in front of shots, and body blocking to try and throw the game. Me and my friend still managed to go 12-3 first half T, but that was a mistake because CT side they just completely shut anything we could do down.

They finally got enough team damage off of my buddy with 2 rounds left, he got kicked, then they vote kicked me.

Never again.

Which means I'll never be able to play competitive because I'm stuck at silver 2 because of this.

I'm actually angry about this and that's the worst part.

Hell I'd take 4 Mr. Pinks because he doesn't try to get you kicked from the game and try to vote kick you every round. Dealing with the odd greifer is not worth having the little digital bar fill up a tic or two so that it displays a different set of colors after enough tics happen.
