The current game mode has been done to death so anything new that we can occasionally have a laugh on gets my vote :D

Anyone know if it's possible to add a clan tag in your name without changing your steam profile completely?
I know you can use any of your steam groups, but there is no relevant steam group.
Is it possible to change my player name so that it only affects CS:GO??

just realised also.... they have gotten rid of the spray tags? :( don;t think i've tried but its one of the things i usually notcie in game when people have tagged funny/obscene sprays on the walls :p

i was pretty happy with my Elmer Fudd spray :D was him aiming down a scope popping up from behind some grass and had a transparent background :) used to love just putting it about the place.

anyone know if it's completely out for good? was i just blind and missed the option? or they going to implement it?
 
I'm fairly sure sprays will make a return. Any features/bugs need addressing go to:

64bitvps.com/csgo/

...and vote them up! All the common requests are there already, including sprays. You can't sort issues by rating but Valve can, and they do read it (so they say).

ay i just had a quick google, they haven;t been removed, but they aren't enabled by default, you have to enable them client side and add them manually rather than through menus, and they only work on enabled servers, so local or if it's been added to the config... so i shall have a gander a bit more when i'm home so hopefully later tonight we can have our spray on the server :)
 
CS 1.6
44,286 current players - 50,146 peak today

CS:S
33,004 current players - 37,647 peak today

CS:GO
22,192 current players - 30,774 peak today

What a predictable shame. :(
 
I don't know how others here feel, but for me certainly I find this a bit weird. I don't really play CSS, as I could never get into it, except 1.6 and all the versions before it, and the more I play it feels...I am sorry to say, too n00b friendly. I don't think the recoil is challenging enough. It seems anybody who has played CS for any considerable length and knows the drill will comfortable beat those who are not. This is not necessarily a bad thing as those who are good should indeed be rewarded, but I feel it's too easy. All you have to do it aim precisely and tap burst at the head. I am not being arrogant here, other people have said the same thing. It's fine if you are playing for the first time, but I am literally bored of how n00b friendly it feels. I prefer the challenging yet random playfulness that the previous versions give. To some degree even CSS does over CS:GO.

There's still random moments don't get me wrong, I've seen some right BS on CS:GO, but let's be honest here, this game is not challenging enough like a Counter-Strike game should be, and thus fits into the whole dumbing down thing I had feared.
 
You're definitely right. I played a classic competitive match with an old clan mate who was, to put it bluntly, terrible at 1.6. He goes on CS:GO and dominates the match. He couldn't quite believe it. Only guns that feel slightly decent are the Deagle and AWP.

The recoil means anyone will get kills with any gun. I don't know what it is, anyone can do a burst-fire with an M4 and for whatever reason, it doesn't feel like it takes much skill to do so, not like it did on 1.6. I know it's not meant to be like 1.6, but the popularity of the game shows that people haven't accepted it as a new competitive game it was meant to be. I know a load of people who bought a server with the intention of clanning up and joining a league, but never bothered and there's just 100s of empty servers because of it.

Like i said earlier in the topic, CS:GO is to Source the same as what CZ was to 1.6.

isn't that what you do for every game though ;)

i do agree it does have that n00b friendly aspect about it... like wow has become, holding your hand the entire way. but i don't think it has made it any less fun.... the only noob things i can think of are the userhints that keep popping up like "plant the bomb here" .... no **** Sherlock! :p

it all depends too on who is playing, as was posted can see allot of the die hard fans are still on source/1.6.

if they all moved to go there would be a much greater challenge in every play :)

hopefully more and more will move over to it... i doubt it.... but we can hope :D


and i know what ya mean about your mate dominating. i was pants at CS:S and now i seem to do alright, sometimes i'm a god!!! i just put it down to my general fps skill getting better.... don't take this away from me xD

Anyone who was gonna move over too it would've done so by now. I want it to be a success but it's just not being embraced by the community. It feels like any other PC FPS now.

What makes you think it isn't being embraced by the community? If it's the steam stats you're referring to, well, CSS had about 5000-7000 players at a similar point after its release. CS:GO has 26,400 right now. Not too shabby if you ask me.

I would honestly find it more difficult to describe how the game ISN'T being embraced by the community. Anyway, lets wait until the end of November before I make any wrong judgements. £28,000 prize pot at Dreamhack for CS:GO - let's see what interest it generates.
