So I've only played ~5 DM games of cs but I've watched probably ~60+ hours of cs on twitch. I caved and bought my 144hz asus monitor, a NAOS 7000, and a clown-sized mouse pad. I've read this OP, have watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials, have practiced sprays for the guns I'll use and have studied to know basically all call outs. I'm still nervous to play, and I realized.... some people don't do any of this. They just buy the game and play it. I don't know if this should make me more relieved that I won't be "bad" right away, or more nervous to play with shitheads who know ACTUALLY nothing. Lol gently caress

that's 60 hours you could have been playing to be Less Bad

I've gotten so used to playing goonmans and having teammates who actually communicate and cooperate and aren't total toxic pieces of trash that I've forgotten how to carry in solo q (because playing to carry when you can't rely on your team requires you to do some really weird/unconventional pubstar poo poo).
Carrying can make you feel like a boss though, I'm a GN2 and was queued with another GN2, and I think a S1, S3, and another S3 and they were just getting obliterated. We were behind bad T side on Nuke, and near the end I went on a rampage and had won us 5 rounds in a row with 3 or 4 kills each round up to a 16-14 defeat. Was dropping bombs on people on Inferno after that but we still had a close loss because even when you're above and beyond who you're fighting it's still tough to win when 3 of your teammates can't be relied upon to do simple things like trade an entry frag or even hold a position competently.

Speaking of goonmans though, I want to get into it but the OP is a bit of a mess with it. The buttmen brigade server isn't even found in the CS community search and the sub.io one was showing empty all last night when I was checking.

e: toxic trash sucks too, I've had to unfriend two people in like a week that were just being poo poo on the mic, either endlessly venting out their frustrations on the mic or endlessly poo poo talking other people on the team, you can't win with poo poo like that going on

e: just in case you don't know, there are three grenade firing modes, left click, left+right click and right click, all of which will throw the grenade different distances. Left and right click is what you'll use the most, and the simplest flashes thrown for yourself almost all involve right clicking
I've played 400+ hours and this will be the third GO thread that I've read from front to back and I've never known about a left+right click for nades until this post

This is true, some kid earlier said I had the reaction times of a potato, and when I said I was old, 30 was his first guess at "old"

Had an interesting night in casual trying to farm for a fake gold coin.

First server 2/3 hackers I assume. Becuase they kept posting in chat where to buy hacks and had the 'clan tag' as the same website. Bought Negevs and just started shooting me as soon as the round started. 1 would shoot he'd start to reload and the other would shoot. This means you can't move. Okay gently caress this poo poo. Disconnect. Try again. Oh guess what same server.

Was working on the use an enemy's gun and get X kills. Was in a map with 3 other people 2v2 + bots is awesome to get this going. Had gotten about 10 kills for the mission. It's close to finishing the game. Kill 4 people, can't find the last guy/ want to save the rifle to continue on my mission/ fail to plant. Guy vote kicks me after round finish. What a cock sucker.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I want my sens to not be so small that can't do a 180 from the center of my mousepad, right? I got a bigger pad and I am trying to figure out how much to lower my sens, thanks.

Nearly the full width of my pad needs to be used to hit the 180, though I'm also using a standard steelseries pad which is something like 14" in width?

I'm starting to feel the call of the AWP, I never pick one up or buy one because it's just not my thing, but I was a pretty badass poo poo kicking sniper back in the HLDM/TFC/S&I days and the AWP in CS:GO seems to have a lot less voodoo around it than the one in CS beta 4/5/1/1.6 did.

Anyway, I clutched a 3v1 as a CT today after grabbing one and it felt good :shobon:

2 rando questions:

Is scout early game only or does it serve any type of purpose mid game/late game?

Does anyone else just get tired of spray pattern horse poo poo with rifles and buy easier to control SMGs? The MP7 is like a comfort food gun for me, I know I won't have a "gently caress!" moment where 17 bullets encircle the person's head at close-to-mid-range, and it lets me build a strong eco for late game. I've found myself buying an MP7 maybe 50% of the time I could get a rifle.

You probably enjoy the MP7 because you're still spraying and running. I was watching a d2 match of yours over the weekend, and specifically remember you as a CT were coming out of the CT spawn area, you knew there were multiple Ts coming up long based on your teammate's fights with them, and you were running full out into long exposing yourself, not holding any angles, running full on into 2-3 Ts.

Holding the angle either close to long or at the elevator spot with an AK gives you the advantage of cover and making enemies run into your crosshair. When you have positional advantage, then you only need to place 1-3 AK rounds into someone to take them out rather than 4-6 from an SMG.

Hey, returning CS:Source player here, just picked up GO.

Question - Why are people in casual games always asking for someone to eat their butts, or offering to eat butt, or just bringing up the idea of homosexual butt eating? This happens nearly 60% of the time.

I've been eating rear end for years, but that poo poo is becoming mainstream enough to get into memes. Then when you have a player base of 13 year olds latching onto the latest and dankest of the memes, well there you go.

Speaking of XP, I just went to play competitive mode and it said I can't unless I get a higher rank. I'm at rank 1, I guess you lose your levels/experience over time in this game? I haven't played much CS:GO in at least a year, but I used to play competitive a lot, have a good 52 hours on steam.

Looking at my achievements they're mostly from 2013 and 2014, guess it's been a while. I've played 1566 rounds etc. Guess I'll have to play ye olde casual mode for now.

You don't lose your levels or experience, but that feature was implemented since the last time you had played if it's been that long. Scrap casual and knock out demolition or arms race.
