CS:GO Discussion

More Silver than a cutlery drawer...



Yeah I got called out on that on reddit too. Mainly for the reason that it gives the enemy a rifle on round three. Makes sense. Just never really ended up playing with people who tell you this kind of stuff.

I am a bit more comfortable with the FAMAS in honesty.

I'm happy to take criticism on it though as that's how you improve.
What rank are you, out of curiosity? Don't want to sound rude, but the one thing I would mostly improve is crsshair placement, because your is a bit meh :p

Look at this vid.

any 1 looking to buy m9 bayonet 85% fade for cash? :)

Surely buying/selling is strictly done in the MM.

Armour is a big deal but I would argue at your level you can skip helmet if low on cash. Most at silver or low nova even are going to hit your body, this is where having it makes the most difference.
I get armour on second round even if I lost first because it messes with their plan, I dont die as easy and maybe I do get a hs on them

M4 no armour is glass cannon strat, never say never but yea mostly its not smart. You could do this in a sniper or baiting type way, you arent facing off with them just picking them off at distance with the m4 on their heads.
Quick kills and little return fire could be good but you got to be great with m4 to justify that kind of thinking and now a1 is not as cheap..

I'm not very good with the famas, definatley something I need to practice with.
If I can't afford a m4 or ak I always go smg, at present I don't know if its because I'm playing low level but I tend to do ok with a UMP and love the p90

Famas is one of my fav guns, way prefer it to galil and its ideal for headshots. Im not the guy who can use it that perfectly but its well worth learning over a p90. P90 is not instantly lethal and famas can be and at any normal distance the famas is amazing in comparison, much more accurate.
Just burst if you cant do the spray, quick two shots repeated is fine

I was told jumping while shooting is stupid but if you have pistol or in this case p90 or ump, that is what you got to consider trying imo. Thats the advantage of those weapons that you can be more mobile and if you gonna buy it in preference then use them fully or the famas is much better

CZ is awful now :mad: I still trying to use it but really dont bother is best, p250 was always great. IF you are learning I'm going to recommend learning that gun because the potential is you can ace a team of rifles with a p250. That is really possible imo especially with some distance/surprise & cover.
CZ is so bad they might remove the long reload time I hope or one of the nerfs.
The animation for the gun is wrong ? its like a rifle reload

Argh, had a decent sized bet on Lunatik to beat Rythm, went down to triple overtime. So close! would have been very nice returns.

Yea they are the better team, they were swatting off rhythm but playing real tired I thought. They didnt deserve to win, remind me to skip them next time, they off my favs list :p They were rated underdog, somebody likes rhythm maybe the guy who triple maxed them vs tmp

Denial won but it was closer then I thought it should be even though elevate went to esea finals

Not at all. Top rank on the silvers. I dropped below it the other day because I played a bunch of games with idiots and trolls on MM.

Before that rubbish streak though I was being put up against people in higher ranks so I'm guessing the game was testing me or whatever. Not sure how the ranks work really but I'm guessing it was just putting me in more challenging matches as my skill had gone up maybe.

Cross hair placement as I.mentioned needs to improve. Something I will put some practice into.

As said, it was a dumb buy but arguably on this occasion, it sort of worked. Either way, many people have pointed it out so I'll put it on the list for improving.
 
Rjk, it was a nice ace. Every single one of us here has plenty to work on. Hell I just learnt 5 mins ago how to read if someone is above or below you on nuke via minimap...mind blown.

Your best bet to get out of silver is to play with Nova's and maybe even MG's who are willing to help you along your way. Oh and ranks to a certain extent mean nothing. My smurfs got boosted to MGE / DMG by letting mates use them for various reasons, however I have been able to keep my main smurf at DMG on my own no worries.

edit...Sorry I meant to say GTFO silver scum..that was it
 
If anyone fancies joining a couple of silver 4s for a few competitive matches add me on steam - can't promise we'll be any good but we have teamspeak and we're always up for a laugh!
 
Well there is the problem isn't it. Before the MM rank update some of us with higher ranks could and we might get a balanced game. If we do now you'll be playing vs much higher ranks and it probably isn't going to be all that fun for you :S

Just to check you've got that right, hows that work again

just bait the rest of the team :D prefire lots and they'll never get near you, fire lots behind semi permeable boxes and/or move immediately back after firing and call for backup. Especially with ping over 50, its possible people walk into the bullets which makes no sense.
lower rank = stay alive and throw nades - stay alive kinda works because at round end people end up battered and just need a bullet or two to die so it can kinda work to help lower ranks be of more use then just dying in first 30 seconds vs 100hp faceoff on higher ranks

ESEA - I mentioned I think the CEO wants to expand to lower ranks more. This seems to develop that, possibly we get anti cheat or 128 tick on free casual type servers in europe. I think he feels the pinch from faceit moving into usa and is countering. How many people play on Fibre optic btw?

Yeah I use face it too.

I've signed up for esea but there is no free option or anti cheat thing.

Was thinking of trying a month of esea to see what its like though.
 
New to the CS:GO thing but use to play CS and CS:S a few years back. Is there anything way to change the cross hair colour to anything else other than the default colours? Being colour blind they are even harder to see than in CS:S!
 
^^ Yes very easily, I'll get a link for you I posted previously to generate crosshair. [actually cross colour is in options in game]

Yea Im not sure with Faceit if the server is doing anything extra over vac or not. Ive seen it declare people banned but not sure on what basis.

esea client checks every file on your machine I think. The fragshack deal is brand new, chicago servers only so far looks like but just speculating they would expand rapidly and thats why they bought that 'brand'

vac itself might be building up another wave based on previous dll revelations, not sure.

I do wonder how many are still out there, especially with planetkey beating mouz yesterday at 18% odds. I didnt see and Im sure if it was obvious we'd hear soon but both german teams where cheating is rife apparently. This guy still unbanned on esea though he plays no games in two weeks, everybody knows what is doing http://play.esea.net/users/571910?tab=stats
