They are still working on it according to the tweet I posted.

I can get in, but the queue to play is red and I can only go into the firing range or play a custom game.

Not sure if adblock stops you from getting drops, but at least on the 4th they said that there's no reason to have more than one stream active since everything is tied to your IP

I hope so, but there's been reports of people making smurf accounts by the dozen and getting multiple drops back last week. Hopefully they're rationing to 1 per IP, because I saw an ungodly number of obvious bot accounts online this morning trying to get a beta key whose account they could ebay for quick bux. I personally mostly expect I'm not going to be able to get access until launch, because my luck is usually terrible. :)

"We aren't giving out keys right now. But we promise if you're watching you're on a list. Keep those viewer numbers high. Thanks."

A bunch of my friends made like 10 burner accounts and are playing right now (though most of the keys came from one person). That just seems like a lot of effort.

Appears they've fixed the issue, drops have now restarted. They said they're "ramping back up" with drops so idk exactly whether we're fully back or what.

I know people are going to want to talk about gameplay but the amount of stuff that is tracked in the background is such a nice thing to have, knowing exact placements of both teammates and enemies on the minimap when you hover over the timeline is great.

The gameplay in this is super fuckin tight, it's quite an adjustment coming from playing a lot of Modern Warfare recently. It's very much CS with (largely non-lethal) powers instead of Overwatch with more realistic guns. If you can't aim good you ain't gonna do good.

Right, the ults are super powerful but you can't use them frequently.

Played my first game and our team started off 0-9. Ended up being 6-13 and I came in dead last. I played CS:GO for the first time 3 weeks ago and this is definitely like that. Hadn't played since 1.6.

I was the Hanzo guy and it looks like his ult is the same, but couldn't really tell once I shot it how big it was or if I had more than one shot of it.

In CS what do people usually spend their first round money on?

Depends. Typically body armor (no headshot protection) and a mid-level pistol or some type of grenade. Alternatively, just a deagle. Pistol rounds in CS:GO aren't as important as they used to be due to economy tweaks.

if you are real good you just buy nothing and win the round and have round 2 be the splurge but it's changed over the years

Good Vipers are going to be loving terrifying. The ability to raise and lower smoke walks and smokes that damage you is great for area denial and for helping aid your movement around the map, let alone her absolutely nutty ultimate that may be one of the strongest in the game.

Watched Skadoodle play her earlier today and it was pretty nutty.

Is there a summary of how the "economy might go" during a round for lack of a better phrase in CS? I'll just assume that's how it works here too for now.

you can see your teammates current $ at all times, and at the start you get a "minimum $ next round" for yourself

I had a negative KDR but my team kept winning so I was basically able to buy a big gun and all my equipment every round.

I meant more like the economy meta of a full game I guess. How it shifts from round to round (are those the right terms?).

Like I said, I was dead last and our team sucked, but after the first couple rounds (all losses) I only ever had to buy an SMG once. Usually used 1-2 of my pulse bomb arrows each time. Never felt strapped.

edit: also it looks like a lot of the pros/streamers customize the crosshair. It looks like it's just putting the inner and outer line offsets to 0. Anyone know anything more specific?

you have to be considered 'watching' with a green dot on your twitch account. If leaving it open in another tab does that, then it should work.

When I did it to get this and Runeterra I just threw it on another monitor and had firefox mute the tab entirely so Twitch still thought the audio was coming through

I don't think you have to actually be showing as 'Online' to get a drop. But who the gently caress knows.

Looks like some organisations are trying to sign players already. I think it’s a bit premature considering the game’s only been in closed beta for 1 day but ok?

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

so this is what happens when you ask the monkey's paw for csgo to get a modernization update

He was basically a kid and followed orders, he got way more poo poo than he deserves for it imho. This'll be a great fresh start for him since he was pretty much poised to be the greatest CS player of all time before that poo poo went down.

I haven’t played a ton of Siege, but all the different gadgets and the two teams having a few seconds to get set up before the round starts feels very Siege-y to me.

My only complaint right now is that I wish the character designs were a little more crazy, but I guess they have to keep everyone’s silhouettes semi-similar.
