Re: goonmans, is it only a few of us that get huge performance decay 'because of the plugin'? If it is, what did the rest of you do to make it better?I like goonmans obviously for the positive vibes and friendly atmosphere but halfway through a match I get dips into the 20fps area when anyone fires a gun.

Is this something I can change clientside?


e: VV thanks, will try this.

Context: I am a lovely gold nova.

Do you guys find you have more on/off games with the awp than with other rifles? I feel like I'm pretty much always at the same level when rifling but when I'm the team's awp I'm either on fire and untouchable or doing very poorly and looking to go back to rifling.

That's probably because your aim sucks and you rely too heavily on twitch shots.

Actually that's pretty accurate most of my kills are flicks.

I feel like at this level everyone has a very similar ability to aim and yeah the strategy is where you'll have teams differentiate themselves.

I Installed CS for the first time off a free CD from PC Gamer that also had the Gamespy client on it. It's not possible to be cooler than that.

I dropped out of my first degree program basically because I played 1.6 24/7 in residence with all the other dudes. TOP THAT

Honestly how big is the gap between most global elite players and average pros? Seeing as pros seem to lose GE matches at about the same rate as anyone else at that rank.

Whats with all the high fps chat. My monitor is a 60hz monitor, so I run at 60hz. How is 80hz 'hell'? Does everyone in this thread have a 144444444444hz pro-l337-sk337 gam1ng PHAYTALETY monitor or something?

Yeah I do have that monitor basically. It makes a substantial difference honestly to my enjoyment although I freely admit it's a luxury item.

Just paste the Imgur direct URL into your post and add a "v" to the end (so .gifv) and the forums will embed a nice HTML5 video version that's lower filesize.

Like so! This is just 3mb, compared to the 40mb nightmare you posted.

I usually play fps games on easy, because its more fun to die less - at least for me. I bought CS:GO during the steam sale. I am terrible at counter-strike.

Are you enjoying it? It's a great game.

If you're looking to get the basics down in short order play a bunch of arms race and/or deathmatch, and focus as much as you can on always having your xhair in a useful position.

While griefers exist at every rank, people intentionally grief themselves down to silver so it's not entirely true to imply that you'd encounter that stuff as much at high ranks. I noticed a huge improvement when I got out of silver.

I ran 70-80 frames on average at, like, 10 ping. I feel like my framerate is one of the reasons why I have trouble, but I also have really lovely reaction time and hand-eye coordination. I cannot trace a moving target to save my life, nor aim at a head from a distance more than, say, d2 b window to tunnels exit. I've tried forcing myself, but even then my body just works against me. 'Tis the life I lead.

We all start there, turning down sensitivity is the single biggest thing you can do to make tracking etc way easier.

You're probably LMG anyways.

What makes them want to do that anyways? It's not like they had trouble finding high level teams for these events. I don't understand it as a business choice besides to maybe get into the mainstream media somewhere.

So its been a while since I played CSGO but some friends and I have gotten back into it. It seems like there's a lot more hackers then there ever was.

Not much aim hacking but super obvious wallhacking is everywhere. For you long time CSGOers is there more hacking going on right now or is this the norm?

Feels like the norm. If you guys are just getting back into it you're probably just being wallbanged and prefired.

You guys having FPS drops on nuke do you use a video card from the last 5 years in your PCs? CSGO is notoriously low on requirements right?

The game is badly optimized, with my 980 and 4,5ghz 2500k I drop below 200 often on the new maps, even on cache. Also lol 144 is not a "good" framerate.

It is for those of us playing at 144 with g-sync which that guy probably is.

If you're needing a headset/headphones, just buy the nicest headphones in your price range and then get a seperate mic, or a mod mic. Most headsets aren't that great for listening to music/non game media and you'll thank yourself for investing in decent AKG/Senn/Shure set that will last you years.

Check for sales on AKG 271 mkii's. Sometimes they're 60% off on Amazon.

I've said it before but the Sennheisers I wear are unbelievably comfortable. They have a pretty huge range in products too, I have something on the low end and I still haven't been disappointed.

Yeah low end senns are going to be a lot more comfortable and higher quality than ~gamer~ headsets at the same or a bit higher price points.

I have that exact model deathadder (I've had it for 5-6 years with no issues). Something to be aware of is the plastic under those two side buttons is piano finish and is gross. I put a felt cabinet stopper thing there for my thumb to rest on.
