CS:GO Discussion

Qitarah there's a lot more people hacking in this game than people realise, a lot just using a basic radar to know roughly where people are. Unless they make it really obvious they'll never be caught.
 
I think mine is

Dont think anyone replied but its worth suggesting trying lower sensitivity if you havent. Personal preference but can help get hs which can be pivotal in a game

Think this is it -
2.10 - Finding the PERFECT sensitivity.

Thanks to impuLsive (so +rep him also ) I can describe an excellent way of getting very close to your ideal sensitivity in-game. The way this method works is you start your own server in CS:S by typing "map de_dust2" into console. Then you type, sv_cheats 1 in console. Then "give weapon_ak47" without quotes. Now you have an AK-47 and an empty server to use.

Start by looking at a wall somewhere in the open and fire a 3-5 round burst into it. Now keep the bullet marks in your crosshairs and start strafing, aim fixed as best as you can on the bullet holes. The goal is to be so perfectly on target looking at your bullet marks that it's as if there is a poll hinged from them that's attached to your gun, and you just rotate and move as one around the marks.

You can strafe around your marks from different distances, including close range and farther away to get a good feel for the exercise. Also consider what spots you play on your maps and the distances you usually will encounter enemies from while playing when you decide how far back to be from your marks. It also helps to move your mouse smoothly and not drag your hand too much while doing this exercise. When you are finished practicing, write down the sens you were using on a sheet of paper and get a calculator. (or use the windows calculator if you don't mind to Alt+Tab)

Skim through the next three paragraphs then download my SensFinding demo from my ftp at the end. It will will be much more clear once you have seen me perform the steps so you get the idea.

Now in console, type sensitivity and double that value. Try the same experiment again with twice the sens. Once you quickly get used to the new speed, see if you are tracking the marks better or worse than before. Write this sensitivity down on the sheet. Now you are going to compare to one half the original value, the calculator will help you find this, you only need to bother with precision to the nearest .001 when you write your sens down. Quickly adjust to it and do the strafing experiment and aim the best you can. While you are trying to decide consider the following: if a mouse sensitivity is too high you may find trouble controlling the crosshair and it may bounce around your marks and jitter, conversely if it is too slow, you may find yourself sliding off your mousepad or falling behind the bullet holes while you strafe.

Now look at the sheet of paper. Cross out the worst highest or lowest sens remaining, leaving your best two sensitivities on the sheet. If you kept the higher sens, double it again and test at that new higher sens. If you kept the lower sens, divide it by two and test at that new lowest one. Write down the new sens and again eliminate the worst highest or lowest sens remaining. If you found that the new one was better, repeat this paragraph, crossing out the worst lowest or highest sens until you get a 'worse' for the new sens.

Now you have two sens on the sheet above one you are 'worse', below the other you are 'worse'. Your ideal sens should be between them. Average the two sens by adding them together and dividing by 2, round to the nearest thousandth when you get decimals. Write down the average but don't test it yet. Instead, carefully test the highest and lowest sens remaining and decide which is worse, cross it out, then repeat this paragraph with the new two remaining sens until you can't for the life of you tell which of the two sensitivities are worse. Then average those two that were indistinguishable, and you now have very closely pin pointed your mouse sens.

I tried this method from different starting sens and always come within .05 of the same value each time. In the process of writing this guide I did this whole process on three occasions, first time getting 1.181, then getting 1.200 and another time getting 1.155. That is pretty accurate but there is some normal variation but it's less than ±5%.

So why is it different each time? First off because you are feeling differently on different days, it may be worth it to test more than one time over a few different days and from various starting sens. After maybe 3-5 trials throughout a week's timespan, average the different final values you have determined and that will be your long term perfect sensitivity.

That way no matter how you are feeling, you will be the closest to what sensitivity would be perfect for you on any given day of the week. This also means you don't have to change your sensitivity very often and when you do change it slightly (less than ±5%) you stay in your optimum "range" of good sensitivities. This is important, finding just one value and sticking to it! The mind likes consistency, and if you are constantly making big adjustments more than 5% up or down to your sensitivity you can expect to play inconsistently and have slumps more often.

You can play a demo by pasting it into your "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\*Your Username*\\counter-strike source\\cstrike" folder, then launching css and typing "playdemo sensfinding" into console without quotes.
Good luck finding a new mouse sensitivity

1700 dpi and 2.9 in game bahahahahahahahahahaha

edit. Great games with Swag, Sabre, Breeze, started and an awesome turkish randy we found on MM. The overpass game I'd say was the best, close to the end but Cache was just hilarious too.

Not sure what my DPS is.

I think its 3500 dpi mouse, Windwos standard and 0.4 sensitivity in game.

I started on about 2 sens but have steadily gone down and found my game improving because of it. Speaking of which, Back to DMG last night :)

Just looking quickly for binds site I posted as my last attempt failed

http://csgobindsgenerator.com/

I've stopped using binds as i'm on TKL my source binds are still in my config though if i ever switch back

1=vesthelm/ vest
2= deagle
3 = m4/ak enter = awp
4 = flash
5 = smoke
6 = he
7 = mp5
8 = scout
9 = galol/famas
+ = defuser
- = p90
 
do you guys use binds to switch weapons?

ie.

1 = Gun1
2 = Side
3 = HE

etc.??

im on a TKL and use these for buy binds


Insert = AK47/M4
Home = vesthelm/vest
PgUp = P2fiddy
Delete = Flash
End = Smoke
PgDwn = HE
Arrow Up = Defuser
Arrow Left = Molly
Arrow Right = Famas/Galil
Arrow Dwn = AWP

so quick to buy standard setup.
hit Ins, Home, Delete, Delete, End, PgDwn

That's a lot of work and in my opinion, not worth doing. I have never gone through that much pain to find a 'suitable sensitivity'

In fact, many years ago, I used to adjust my sensitivity upwards daily as in my opinoin, high sensitivity is a little better for csgo when compared to other games.

Points to remember:

1) Playing more will help your aim

2) Technically on any given day your aim will differ, some players alter sensitivity daily but usually have a range they keep between / start from. This is done by testing flick shots on walls / objects etc.

I wouldn't expect this to happen too much in your own home.

3) It's all opinion based.

Q is previous weapon (good old quick switch)
1 is main
2 side
3 nades
4 bomb

I'm interested to hear your reasoning behind this.

I've played CS for a long time now and a couple of your points contradict what myself and many others have experienced.

What do you define as high sensitivity and compared to which games? I found myself more consistent with my aim when I steadily reduced my sensitivity, obviously it'll reach a point you'll no longer be comfortable lowering - this is different for each player.

Again from my own and others experience, people once settled don't touch their sensitivity for months or even years. What benefit is there to adjusting to a new sensitivity daily?

I'm not saying what you've said is wrong, I'm just interested in how you've reached those conclusions.

I use 1-3 for weapons, q is to toggle quick switch, so I hold q down the pull out knife, release to switch back to main.

Use f - flash
C -smoke
X - molly
Z - he
V - decoy.

I Don't bother with buy binds and I can buy up as quick with the mouse so I've never seen the point personally.

Good questions, especially what is "high sens"

To me, if we say a standard mouse mat is 30cm wide? I would consider 360 degrees for 30 cm quite high when compared to some other play styles, in other games I've played.

A good example of those games would be say Quake 3 days, UT and in a way TF2, where movement is everything.

To me, if you need to do anything greater then say 190 degree fov, then you're dead or in a rubbish position.

In the old days, I have found that actually having the ability to react in CS > movement, but that's due to the nature of the game.

If I'm watching a close choke point, I can't run away quickly, so I'm left with the only other option which is to fight, that's where I believe a higher sens will work, in the past Scream was a good example of that.

I say all that above but I haven't touched mine really in a long time :) (Lack of time for games in general) BUT if I was playing CSGO 'seriously', that would probably be something I look into, but again, play styles...positioning, all come into it as others have mentioned.


Again from my own and others experience, people once settled don't touch their sensitivity for months or even years. What benefit is there to adjusting to a new sensitivity daily?

As I hinted towards, I wouldn't expect this to be the norm and when I do say adjustments, I mean very small to the .XX level in some cases.

From my own experience over the years, I know seating position, including monitor, keyboard etc are quite vital to getting that 'sweet spot'.

All of it comes down to how much thought you really put into things. People find a reason for everything, be that sensitivity, FPS, ping etc etc.

In the past, I really do mean the past (pre 1.6), I would warm up by flicking at walls and objects, that would mean potential small adjustments. That was my younger and more naive self :)
 
Gotta say most of those scripts are pointless except the jump throws.

If you want dmg shown put this in your autoexec
con_filter_text damage given;
con_filter_enable 2;
developer 1;

If you want to toggle voice use
bindtoggle "m" "voice_enable"

If you want to annoy people
bind "k" "say Cheating is impossible in VAC secured servers"

well fug that was meant to be an edit not a double post
 
Anyone read the PC gamer article about ESL introducing drug tests? Seems cloud9 used adderall recently, ( treats ADHD but also a performance enchancer)
