Thanks both. Really enjoying this game. Even though I'm a late starter to the party.

My buddy that I play I've played with of late will be back on the weekend so hope you don't mind if he joins in as well.

Just send him
Here

Joelk if i were you I would try and play exclusively with other people till you get a rank, ie no solo queing to try and get the best rank you can get. If per chance you get stuck in silvers its a bugger to get out of as a lot of people down there play oddly.

What's wrong with Silver? It took me ages to get the 10 wins (Silver IV) but the games have been a bit better since then, a little more consistent. Have to say I'm loving it. I would be nice to play on an actual team sometime though, I am still pretty much a lone wolf in nearly every game - I suppose i know what you mean, a lot of my "team mates" do play solo. It's good fun though.

Sorry I didnt mean anything wrong with it I was silver 3 for months, everytime I strung a few wins together Id get paired with a team who would buy worst guns at the worst times. Most of the players were alright on their own e.g aim etc. But rotations between bomb sites and playing as a team was dire. This goes away a bit in gold but still a mixed bag.
I went from Silver 3 - > 1AK (cant remember what its called) and back to GN2 now after a few weeks of shocking games.
So to sum up Silver ranks just increases the chances of playing with people who wont play for the team in my opinion.
Also the best way to play better is play with people who are much better than you which is what I like to do. Rezident feel free to add a few of us, most nights there are 7/8+ of us on TS3 some better than others I think we range from silver to DMG.

Well for starters. I excelled myself and was absolutely last in our 5v5 games last night so I see that as a big improvement. I even think I had above 10 kills.

Secondly what is a mission drop? I got one in our match last night and its a first for me.

I'm up to 6 competitive wins now so hopefully will be joining the world of ranked play soon.

I didn't play with you the first game, but people have telling me that you improved a lot. You learnt call outs quickly and you don't play stupidly. You can see the improvement.

Ah ok, that’s me, I have no idea what type of guns you are supposed to buy, or rotation between sites, I’d say maybe one in every 3 or 4 games someone will tell me where to go, otherwise I just make it up as I go along and buy whichever gun I like.

And as for playing as a team, anytime it happens it is usually just coincidental. I’ve no idea what I’m doing anyway, and I don’t know most of the maps either but having some good fun anyway. I used to play CS but hadn’t played in years and I’m really liking CS:GO now.

Yes it would be good to have a proper game some time, I’ll be on most days over the weekend, is it an OCUK server or how do you join in?

silversurfer · 12 Sep 2014 at 15:45

To go from silver to nova you might to do 3k more then once a game especially on nuke or similar. And you might need to be on an all silver team that beats an all nova team. It should promote fast if you can do both, I think I scraped 6 wins in a row before I was promoted.

Holy crap I got a weapon drop.... A 7p Caged Steel Nova... Valve plz.

I got radiation Aug which looks junk but in game Ive grown to like it

also setting sun mp9 I'll keep for arms race

What about this for undervalued - http://csgostash.com/skins.php?name=MAG-7+Memento&id=72
Its the 2013 case which barely ever drops now, so I figure this is a fair investment. Nobody else likes it :confused:

No throw, both teams played pretty good I thought, c9 just were unlucky on nuke (slightly weak outside). After the fact 50/50 odds was more like it, lounge got this badly wrong & ncg bets gave 600%

I also bet LTK as ibp had players away, in the end they never had enough. Doesnt give any winnings on no game pity

We currently have a 10 man match server which we use once there are 10 of us on. Other wise its just adding people from this thread,, join the CoK! group and hang around online talking on the TS channel or steam messages and get invites.

Very quick guide to buying, only buy a SMG e.g Bizon if you are 95% sure they wont have armour e.g 2nd round if you won the 1st round, most SMGs (Not inc P90) are useless against armour and you might aswell be throwing jelly at them. Apart from that my motto is buy as a team win as a team.
So even if you have 5k if the others only have 2k its most likely better not buying so the next round everyone can buy and you will (hopefully) win. If you buy and they dont then you wont be able to buy next round and will be a weak link in the chain.

For rotations between sites generally wait till someone sees the bomb then leg it to the other site.

If you have 1 or 2 games with 4 other people who are all on voice comms talking/laughing encouraging win or loose its much much more fun that winning with a team of people who as soon as you make a mistake rips into you.

The only thing I worry about is that if I get too high a rank I'll be matched against people well above my skill set.

Thanks for letting me know I'm improving though. Glad I'm moving in the right direction.

Even if you do get well above your skill level, you may well get battered, but you will learn much quicker, I've got much better much more quickly playing with the guys on here who are all above me in rank. Playing against people they get matched with has helped me get so much better as you learn nothing from owning a load of noobs just randomly charging about.

the only way to improve is to play a smarter opponent

joelk2 · 12 Sep 2014 at 20:01

Yeah I suppose. I've learnt so much just in the small amount of time I've played with you guys. What guns to choose. Map callouts. Always give the bomb to soundwave. Etc.

How does ones enter the brotherhood know as the CoK?

Invited you

joelk2 · 13 Sep 2014 at 02:15

I'm up to 20.3 hours played on this now. Can't believe I'd not played this game until 2 weeks ago.such good fun.

fiveub · 13 Sep 2014 at 08:24

Zethor · 13 Sep 2014 at 10:52

I gave in and bought the game about a week ago. Before that, I hadn't touched CS in ~12 years so I felt quite a kick from nostalgia.

After doing some random games to see what's changed, I decided to jump straight into competitive matches. The first game was on a map I did not know at all and, well, it went badly

. For the next games I selected only the maps I knew (Dust II, Inferno, Nuke) and bam! 8 wins in a row. I played my last placement matches last night and finished with 10 wins to 5 loses which put me in Silver or something.

Overall, the game definitely plays like the original CS but it has enough new elements to keep a fresh feel going as well so my impressions are good.

Is the game big in Russia? It seems like every other game I play has at least some Russian ragers and quite often a premade "clan" team lol.

Rezident · 13 Sep 2014 at 11:12

Yes I'm getting a good few Russians too. I don't mind as at least I can't understand their abuse. I got two great headshots at the same time and they went mental. Not exactly sure what they were saying but by the tone I can guess the gist of it. Tremendous fun. I like that you can go back and watch your games, some super highlights. Happy Days.
