Current Gamemodes
Bomb Defusual
- Bomb defusal is a game mode where the main objective for the Counter-Terrorists is to prevent the Terrorists from planting the C4 explosive. Counter-Terrorists can win the round by defusing the bomb, while the Terrorists must plant the bomb at one of two bombsites (usually located near Counter-Terrorist spawn) and ensure detonation of the explosive. The secondary objective, which also secures a victory for either team, is to eliminate all members of the opposing team (however, if the bomb is already planted and all Terrorists are eliminated the round does not end until the bomb is defused or detonated). If the round time expires, the Counter-Terrorists win by default.
Hostage Rescue
- The CT's have to rescue hostages from the T's. People don't really play it anymore because it's inferior to defusal. Also since Valve has removed the majority of the hostage maps from Matchmaking there's no point anymore.
Deathmatch
- Valve Deathmatch is basically a team deathmatch where you win by getting points for killing. There are point bonuses and stuff too. If you actually want to practice by deathmatching, however, you will want to play on a community run FFA 128 tick dm, in EU I recommend Meriletfot/BrutalCS/Titan servers. NA you're stuck with Fragshack.
Arsenal: Demolition
- 5v5 and after getting a kill in one round your weapon will be "upgraded", get even more kills in the same round and you'll get additional nades to throw at your enemies. You can't buy in this mode.
Arsenal: Arms Race
- Arms Race is basically gungame. You get kills with successive weapons and the first person to get a golden knife kill wins.
Surf
- You surf on ramps. Good for practicing airstrafing, though more for fun than anything else. Comes in Skillsurf (trying to complete a surf course as fast as possible) and Surf DM (You dm but whilst surfing) variants. The best skillsurf servers are KSF. Don't surf on csgo though, its shit compared to css. Don't hold W.
Climb
- Kz/Climb is like skillsurf, but instead of sliding on ramps you have to strafe jump/bhop/pretty much any other type of movement to the map finish. This is the best way to practice your overall movement.
Bhop
- It's like climb but rather than being focused on precise jumping and vertical movements, bhop is about bhopping across a much less vertical map.

Official Matchmaking Alternatives/Pick-up Game Services
- ESEA - Pay for the privilege of mining btc for lpkane whilst playing pugs
- FaceIT - Good for their free service, but don't pay them money because they really don't deserve it
- Popflash - Good servers, lets you host scrims or play pugs, though you are required to have 150 comp wins
- CEVO - Free but you won't get a game very fast most of the time
- ESL:One Versus - People use this?????? It is free tho
Recommended DM/Retake servers
MER IL ET FOU - FFA/HSMod/Retakes/Aim maps hosted in France.
HSFactory - FFA/HSMod/Retakes hosted throughout Europe.
BrutalCS - FFA/HSMod/Retakes hosted in Sweden, if I recall correctly. Sometimes var can get a bit high if all the servers are populated at once.
Fragshack - Really the only good NA DM servers. They also a have a couple of EU servers hosted somewhere.
Helpful Gameplay Tutorials and Tips
- Just go straight into Valve MM after you get your level 2. It'll stick you at a rank which you can play at anyway. Don't care too much about the rank you'll get.

Plaster, did Valve actually give you your trust factor under GDPR when you asked for it?
https://cloud.plaster.pw/u/18.07.20-12.49.44.png
sadly not
Valve vaccinated 55k+ cunts
It is up to 61k now
Not sure by how much the last 30 days are lower than the real value, but thats ~89k accounts across the two days of that wave alone. If it's low by enough then maybe it hits 6 figures.
why is this shit still a problem

Well after 7 months it's kind if unsurprising. Eventually everyone gets banned

ESEA wallbangs are fun because you get to hear them react to it

this is my favourite esea clip specifically because I can hear them conclude I'm cheating
anyone know how I can try and diagnose some rubber banding? it seems to happen once every few rounds, has been happening for a long time (I've probably only played like 100 hours of csgo this year but it has been happening the entire time) here's an example:
https://streamable.com/didmx
as you can see it's very small but it'll screw me over at the worst of times, in the same game it pinged me to the side while lining up grenade causing me to throw it at a teammate. the netstat stuff in the corner doesn't show any signs of packet loss or ping increasing.
the only other competitive game I really play is league of legends and that game has some pretty excessive character movement interp so if it is happening there too I doubt I'd ever notice it. no problems with other online games either like arma/iracing/the crew 2 for example
Do you happen to use a powerline network adapter or wifi? This looks exactly like the issues I've had years ago. Csgo also was the only game where this would happen, not in other source games for some reason. Other than that good luck figuring out the cause.
What about other source MP games? Try at least another one on Valve's servers

Spin to win.
Why is this not on the R8 too.
All I wanted was some rather casual prime only soloq mm.
Yet what I got at the end was this?

I was pretty upset by that
Am I the only one that finds the decision to have a different C4 sound for B site really unintuitive? I know the change stems from complaints that people can't tell where the planted bomb is on Nuke, but why not keep the same sound and mess with the audio effects that change based on your position relative to the bomb? To me it feels weird that the bomb would tick differently just because it's another site
It actually turned nuke into babby version but thankfully other maps are unaffected because the bomb spots a far apart
Not the best way to fix this but totally the laziest and maybe also most effective way.
If only they would improve on hrtf like letting it be customizable to different ears because I still cant tell the exact directions with this shitty default thing they use.
Third match in after a long break, and this was just sad to watch. Some idiot russian literally hacked his way to victory. And i couldn't do anything, tried to kick him but others voted no.
Counter
Don't kick a hacker on your team if you play solo, the risk of getting kicked instead is too high and will instead fuck you over more. Just remember that vacnet will detect these very blatant hackers etc. and will get them straight into overwatch.
That's what happens when you play canals lad.
Anybody still waiting for FaceIt major?
I still haven't decided which airport to land at, flights to Gatwick are kinda cheap.
