Counter-Strike: Global Offensive v5 "Who the fuck is Sergei?"

[Ferdam]

Since you guys are talking about CSGO skins I recently decided to rework my first skin for M4A1-S and I'm not sure it's on the right way or if I should drop this design and try something different.

My friends said it looks cool, but none did a criticism so I was hoping any of you could do it, please ?

Can you provide some higher resolution stills?

Personally I love the look of wooden antique skins. As for criticisms I would say you might want to add some gold flourishes over the gun's black frame (Like the Nova Antique). That's just my personal opinion though, the empty black space while not bad per say looks a little too plain for my tastes.

Sexy as fuck.

I'd brass the black parts on the handguard though so it doesn't look out of place.

[Stolid]

The skin looks gaudy and gross, imo. I've never liked wood and gold, and I've never liked wood on the M4/M16 platform.

[TheSyntaX]

Anyone knows why my character feels drunk as balls when I turn off vsync in cs go?
I mean mouse looking feels like it's used on ice or something.

[QUOTE=Skully22;48075034]That looks amazing for a starter, seriously if you showed me that I'd expect some pro skin maker to make that. But yeah the red is a bit too bright, are you gonna edit the wooden part on the barrel?[/QUOTE]
Didn't notice barrel question.
No I wont, I am trying to keep wooden parts as clean from shapes as possible.

I tied wood texture with red, I will post what it looks like tomorrow.

i got a 4 dollar case drop

should i be a sucker and open it for a $0.03 skin or just sell it

I like the design of Antique skins (nova and bizon) too, but I also need to avoid making it look too much like Antique skins because it might give me problems sooner or later.
The original idea of this skin was to mix M4A1 and AK47 (I didn't think of Antique design at first), but as I developed this one I noticed that it was tending to look a lot like Antique skins and, as I already said, this is something I need to avoid.

You are probably right about the 'black space', it looks plain, I'll try to find a pattern or some detail to break this a bit. Thanks

This might work, I'll try changing the handguard a bit, ATM it looks boring (and yes, out of place). Thanks

Sorry, but I personally have never seen wooden design on M4/M16 before, could you show me any examples ?

Those are AR-10's (very very expensive ones), but you get the idea.

You can always google search Wood AR-15 for more reference pictures, you're going to get one's that look more like the M16A1 than you are say an A3-4 or M4 style.

I personally think your skin looks good, maybe mess around with a case hardened effect on the black parts?

[KingKannon]

Had a guy who was toxic all game but was doing moderately well. He was one of those keyboard ragers who talks shit in spawn even if it fucks up his position. On our round to get match point he peeks B from upper tuns and gets killed immediately even though we were going mid to B and asked him to wait. I get the trade and go with the team, he flames me for baiting even though we were never even pushing the same spot. On the match point he attempts to kick me, and the entire team votes against it. Immediately the entire team begins to flame him for trying to kick someone when he fucked up. Someone starts a kick vote on him and I have the last vote. He gets a good peek on long and manages to get two before getting killed, after which I press the big red button.

Sorry for the "dear diary" but it always feels good to get the value out of ragers and then eventually kick them. I've got no idea if it affects MMR at all but it feels like the sweetest, albeit cruelest, justice.

Oh, dumb of me, thought it was rare enough not to be found so easily. Anyway, I was aiming for something a little more simple than these for my design, idk. But i'm definitely changing the plain black to something else.

Also, I'm a beginner with skins for CSGO so I'm not sure if I can control specular to give it special effects like case hardened. I'm currently using Patina as paint type and I couldn't find out if specular is controllable at all (google led me to nothing yet)

[EddieLTU]

so i was playing comp when suddenly steam logon error, and everyone got it. But we got back to the match and won

[editline]29th June 2015[/editline]

turns out that the skin server crashed

[Rob3k]

And I got out of SEM and into Nova 1 just before the steam server crash.

It seems like all you're doing for the different conditions really is just changing the colour, it doesn't actually look like the condition of the gun is changing at all. Just the colour of the wood if you get my drift?

What is everyone's opinion of the 4:3 resolution ratio tip to improve aiming?

I tried it a while ago but I didn't notice much of a difference.

Bullshit - the only thing that can improve your aiming is constantly training it. Or as a good friend of mine says at the start of every match: "I've only got one piece of advice for you - hit them in the head - I hear it hurts"

I don't think it makes a difference for rifles, I only use 4:3 for AWP so it's easier to hold narrow angles.

Being able to see the guy you're aiming at easier will definitely improve your aim. I play widescreen because that's what I'm used to and 4:3 is a pretty drastic difference at first, plus widescreen gives you better peripheral vision, but I can see the argument for 4:3.

[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;48075118]Trust me, that's exactly what I wanted. They should have apologized and reinstated us regardless of whether I took the post down or not. Zen did not want it to go any further and out of respect for him, I took it down since he's the real victim here.

Also it's awrite because this is still what comes up when you google their league name.

I shrink my hud at it's smallest aspect ratio so I don't rely on peripheral vision to get info on last sights, health/armor, and ammo, while using widescreen to notice something moving in a 45 degree angle.

[morky]

imo the skin looks a lot like atomic aloy and I hate that skin

That's how the Patina finish works; the others would strip the colors down to the base gun

[QUOTE=TheHatter;48075837]Does anyone know a good tutorial for peeking an enemy awp with your awp? I usually do the following (assuming I know where they are)

1. Shoulder peek to bait shot (or right click flash, and peek while it hasn't popped in case I can catch them "retreating")
2. Move and scope at last second
3. Counter-strafe
4. Flick if needed
5. Fire

But I've seen crazy videos of pros jumping around corners and getting prefire shots and I wanted to know if there was a guide to this[/QUOTE]

shoot them before they shoot you

4:3 stretched feels more natural for me, but 4:3 black bars is literally retard mode and you should use 16:9 with a 4:3 hud instead (altimor posted a config for it somewhere back in this thread).

Anyone need a partner for the Lake or Office co-op missions?

I finally got to rank 3. That was the least fun I've ever had playing this game.

[ionuttzu]

Oh my FUCK! I'm stuck in Gold Nova 3
I'm usually the first in teams but that doesn't matter, it's like matchmaking wants me to stay there. Always, and I mean always when I win a match, the next one is a loss. It's like I'm stuck in this equilibrium of wins and losses that sum up to 0 since they keep countering eachother.

Goddamn it I want a win streak, that much to ask?

Just keep playing, your rank is not only about wins/losses. Sometimes you don't rankup at all after 10 or 20 wins in straight, but sometimes you tie and rankup.
