Counter-Strike: Global Offensive v4 "Tec9 is a meme gun"

[DrJenkins]

guys, anyone fancy playing a bit of faceit with me?

[tau]

Apparently, since I left, the core team is somewhat struggling. I guess losing the de facto caller and carry (I recorded the stats of every game I did in the past two months because I find that fun - sue me) does that to a team :v:

[merp]

Got a falchion case, not sure if I should open or sell it. I could make £2 selling it but then again I might get a nice new skin :v:

Open it when it becomes cheap, sell it now.

Has anyone got any tips to actually improve aside from just.. practising aim everyday?

I have literally not improved at all since my first rank at like, S4, and only ranked up to GN4 because the ranks shifted (~now the ranks are settling I've lost three in a row and forecast many more.)

I literally don't get better at this game at all, and most people I get put with are much, much better than I am.

Watch good players play, mimic their actions and warm up before playing competitive.

Make sure that you're not changing anything in how you're playing, this includes your game settings, mouse sensitivity, resolution, hell even your actual desk. Make sure all mouse movements you do, your mouse isn't sticking - make sure it's smooth and consistent, all of these attributes and keeping them the same help with muscle memory, So everything needs to be consistent for a few months (Hell probably even longer) before you start getting good.

Like Kaelazun said, watching good players, really does help. Having good aim is half the battle, you need to have your head in the game and you have to have good game sense to get good at the game, tactics, smokes, flashes, spots, angles, all these things are very important to know when it comes down to getting good.

Friend noticed that my Vox Eminor holo sticker that I had was worth ~£30. Managed to sell it last night. Dirt Rally here I come!

i think they made it harder to derank cus I lost 8 matches and still MGE

[LordMoldyButt]

I still haven't gotten a rank in competitive. Feel kinda special.

[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;47832048]Question about "collection" items.

If you have the bloodhound pass and everything, and you level up, you get a drop, right? The drops are from "collections". Can you get any rarity? I'm seeing some collections for the bloodhound pass having covert and classified weapons, so I'm assuming there's a chance, albeit a [I]really small[/I] chance, that you can get one of those weapons as a drop?[/QUOTE]

Yep, any rarity can be dropped. In fact, drops are the only way to get red/pink skins from the new collections, so those might end up being pretty rare due to the weekly drop limit.

[joshuadim]

Just wondering did they change the AWP again in the new update?

Because I tried playing with it and I couldn't do jack shit with it

[blazingfly]

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47833563]We told you a long time ago and there was even a wall of text dedicated to you.[/QUOTE]

Yeah and it helped a bit, half of it was to do with not being able to hear the sound properly and I still can't, honestly have no idea if a sound is coming from above/below/left/right of me.

But I keep getting outaimed, or the enemy shows up the moment I pull out a grenade.

I need the game sense bit rather than the aiming bit, how do I predict where enemies are while also having to deal with shooting and moving?

I watch a lot of the good players but it doesn't really help so much, they magically know where to look for an enemy and the enemy just happens to appear in front of them.

When I do that, the enemy drops down from behind and gets a 1tap.

just keep playing match making to improve your game sense.
another way to improve gamesense is watching your own demos and what you should've done instead. or analyze pros and figure out why they did something.

Also, communication plays a big role of when they "magically" know where to look

[Complifused]

Thank you VAC for randomly kicking me out of my game and not letting me reconnect.

Communication, like jung3o said is probably one of the biggest roles in the game, if you're mixing and you don't have any calls going on or you're not relaying tags, or information that you deem important. You may as well throw the game.

A good sound system helps, but volume also helps also, make sure you play at a high volume, but not too high that when you fire your shots, you are literally deafened. I have noticed myself however, that my jump to 7.1 to 2.1 has made it difficult to detect footsteps, but I can still tell where they are. Make sure your sound is working properly, I'm sure there's positional audio testers out there you can use just to make sure it's working correctly.

You can't accurately predict where enemies are, you can only take educational guesses on what you know, reference those good players you watch a lot, what do you think they will do? if an enemy shows up as you are about to pull out a grenade, it means you aren't listening to footsteps properly, or you're not using your grenades effectively. Remember, grenades bounce, you don't need to peak, especially if you're CT, if you're on B, and there's a terrorist is sitting trying to get picks from tunnel, Why would you go to tunnel? It's their job to come to you, you don't need to come to them, get into a good spot, mix up your spots so it's different every round, listen, don't peak when you don't have to, even if you think it's for that chance for a kill, it usually doesn't end well. That player is stationary, got his crosshair probably head height relative to where you are, and probably a hairline push away from firing. You on the other hand, have to peek, register where he is, move and aim at the same time, damage your recoil as you're moving - you get the idea.

As for your aim, it just comes naturally, like any hobby, the only way to get good at it, is to continue playing.

I think Agency is a bit T-sided

[Bumrang]

what's a good strat for these new maps? p90 rush because nobody knows how to play them?

[Saza]

[QUOTE=Bumrang;47834381]what's a good strat for these new maps? p90 rush because nobody knows how to play them?[/QUOTE]

I've found that none of them are very competitive encouraging maps.

All of them are very friendly to SMGs bar Rails and by that I mean they're choice weapons.

[R.M.T.B.]

I've yet to play Season competitively, but I'm going to change that tonight

yeah they seem like cod maps to me, thats why i want to abuse them and see if i get can free ranks

[Ogris]

[QUOTE=Bumrang;47834381]what's a good strat for these new maps? p90 rush because nobody knows how to play them?[/QUOTE]

Depends, P90 rushing is a powerful start if people dont know to play maps regardless.

Agency and Season people already know how to play so it likely wont work there, zoo possibly, rails is pretty big tho, not sure about logs.

I managed to get the co-op gamemode to work without needing to activate a mission, buy going in to console and typing game_mode 0;game_type 4;map gd_cbble. Here's what I found so far:

Guardian gamemode: Protect the hostage from waves of attacking enimies. To complete the mission you need to get a certain amount of kills with a certain weapon. Going too far away from the hostage rapes your ears and deals damage to you. Hostages take about 10 seconds to rescue (I don't know the exact timings), and as soon as the hostage is rescued the round is ended. If you lose multiple times the difficulty of the bots is lowered, however, the difficulty of the bots in the gamemode is different to bot_difficulty. You heal 50hp and 50 armor each round. After losing a round the amount of kills needed to win are reset. The round time is 15 minutes, and after 15 rounds the map changes to a random map from the whole pool, although this probably won't happen on actual servers. It does actually work on other maps, however, it's biased towards the attacking team, and doesn't really work on demolition map.

I took some screenshots of the new stuff. Note that CTs spawn in the green bits marked on the map and not just at the bits with the CT logo.

This message and an ear piercing noise plays when you try and leave this hostage:

There's also some convars for the gamemode so you can use it on your own maps if you wish to do so:

gd_cbble- 15 scout kills to win, you also start with a P250 (also the hostage is always called Lord William)

gd_bank- Certain areas are blocked off (screenshots), 40 kills with any gun to win. For some reason max money is $3200.

gd_lake- 15 XM kils to win, Ts start in the house, CTs start at T spawn

gd_assault- 10 AWP kills to win, however, it is not actually functional. You spawn on T side and can't change teams. The map has also been changed to demolition. Since the gamemode is made to kill any players who aren't near the bombsite, you just die at the start of every round. The bomb site is at the back of the truck at CT spawn. The navmesh is also out of date and there is no radar. After enabling godmode, you are able to plant the bomb, which ends the round straight away with you winning.

We just have to wait now and see what the missions are like on the servers.

[nummy]

We're playing against an aimbotter and 4 silvers, in supreme, but they're losing because we 5v1 the aimbotter and he doesn't have it properly configured or something, so once he's out the rest can't do shit HAHAHA.

Feel free to spect

edit: he's found out the autonoob is quite effective and he's coming back

edit2: they kicked someone from their own premade so that the cheater can have two lives, using the bot
