Fifflaren is the oldest in the team. He can be called the dad of the team.

When I said changing resolution and back solves the no crosshair/radar bug, without having to exit the game; I was talking out of my backside.
Just got it again for the first time in a while.
Never heard of this bug?
Wanted to play on Saturday evening. Got home from work to an internet connection <1mbps (actually 0.00 mbps according to bt speed test!).
Called BT and told them to check my line for faults because I had already done the normal things they always tell you to do, like resetting modem/router etc.
Following an hour on the phone pointlessly doing it all again repeatedly, they finally ran a line test and informed me there was an error on my line. No **** Sherlock!
How BT ever became a market leader with the level of incompetence they often show, I will never know.
Sounds like they did a copper line test finally, any idea of result?
I would swap every gun I have for a masterpiece you have
Ummmm

Man, both my underdog bets lost, despite both games being really rather close - certainly closer than the odds indicated... Ah well, profit of 12p xD
I actually quite like the Caimen skin, its about one of 5 skins I like in the entire game...

I had the below a while ago:
Have not had it since, but it was very strange. Almost like the hud/team overlay had crashed.
No, sorry. All I know is that the internet is back to normal, so whatever the fault was it is no longer there.
I played on some lower ping servers last night (higher skill). Picked them out of the server list. Felt nice and smooth, but I'm not of sufficient skill to be useful yet lol. Actually, that is a lie, my dead body was often an obstruction to the enemy so at least I did some good

I was considering following the CS:GO Esports scene until i saw this, thanks raider.
There's actually a fairly comprehensive stats page for CSGO for all you e-peen wavers where you can compare (in a frat-boy circle-jerk stylee manner)

I think it depends on the game whether KD ratio is relevant.
For example, in CS:GO killing more enemies and dying less is always good because essentially that is all the game is about. There are no real task specific roles/classes.
However, in a game like Tribes Ascend, KD ratio is a pointless stat unless all you ever do is play cluster**** modes like TDM or you are an honor dueller. For example, in CTF, pathfinders have terrible KD ratios but they are some of the most skilful players in the game. Not only do they have to be fast, precise and consistent on their routes they also have to coordinate the offence players and then get the flag home, dodging chasers and making themselves a hard target for snipers - all whilst travelling 300kmh+

There kind of is specific roles etc, whenever i play with my bae sound wave, flighty and stuu i usually take the role as the awper, holding down specific points of the map and entry fragging, soundwave is usually the support player, backing me up if need be and helping smoke certain points, flighty usually takes the role as leader/shot caller and co ordinating smokes and stuu plays kind of agressive pushing enemies back, so their may not be set roles but it isn't all about KDA and what not, teamplay is more of a factor, you get people who are the last alive pick up a few kills each round and top frag but have no relevance in teamplay, that doesn't make them good.

I hear what you are saying, but the point of any role within CSGO is to kill the enemy and not be killed yourself because there are no respawns till the new round starts. As such KD ratio is still an important factor (imo).
Totally agree teamwork is of great importance. But I think some games tend to promote a focus on KD by virtue of their design, whereas others like Tribes do not. For example in Tribes CTF you very often commit suicide in order to respawn back at base and assist defence, or put yourself en route with a capper starting a new route. Every time you 'k out' it classes as a death, but it is absolutely necessary in comp play. The same goes if you are a capper - your role is to cap, not kill stuff. You are going to die a lot because you are the target for everyone because you are dangerous and can score a cap.
Totally different game mechanics with regard to KD stats and whether they offer any insight into the ability of a player.

I'm talking more in terms of KD stats being a representation of overall ability/performance in CSGO. Of course teamwork is important, but a team with consitently low KD ratios are probably not going to be winning too many matches are they? (or are they?

It all depends on how they hold a Map, how they push position etc
very low K/D Pro teams have beaten the High K/D Pro teams
K/D Means jack all in Competitive Gaming
It is all down to player skill, map/ game knowledge and the other players on the teams skill etc... Also it depends how people are on the day and maps played

Well thats nice to know and I am happy to be wrong. Coming from TA where KD is literally seen as cancer it was not the impression of CSGO that I got. So far every match I have played the guys wth the highest KD seem to be the most effective and often carry the team. Admittedly it is early days for me though.
Often this is the case, but this is definately not the be all and end all. Soundwave ranked up massively just by planting the bomb, Im not sure he has had a kill yet to be honest.
But as those above say the game is more about communication, playing as a team and spinning the odds in your favour e.g you never want a fair fight.

Yeah, mostly I am. But I was in a couple of comp servers last night and saw the same appeared to be true. But to be fair I dont think they were proper comp servers as there were something like 16 players per team. They just had comp rules + collision etc etc. I am just trying to get at least a little bit useful before dropping the nerf bomb on a team in comp mode. At the moment I am the equivalent of the weedy kid that nobody wants to pick for their team
Being a TA comp player, communication is hard wired into me as a player now. Maybe I should jump in and play some comp matches in CSGO, but I do not feel ready yet. I don't want to be 'that guy' who causes the team to lose. Judging by the amount of stats talk in here, I am guessing that would not go down too well?
