Unranked for life, P90 (I suck at shooters, but aparently everyone sucks at cs)

idiots who ape pros without the skills. people who dont know how to smoke b tunnel at a t without getting shot in the face. people who don't know team damage is a thing. people who by frags and molly over smokes and flashes because they think things that dont hurt are useless. people who try to get headshots with the awp when not walbanging. buying the scout, bizon, or Galilee ever. people who don't know smoke kills fire. people who cant smoketrap tunnel. people who dont understand peaking. people who dont understand head shots are king and normal body-armor does jack against it. people using the awp aggressively. buying kit when your in the wrong lane. Insisting on speaking spanish/koren/german/whatever even after your one freind who also spoke it ragequit and now the rest of the team cant understand you or eachother. buying an m4/ak in an econ round. buying a shotgun/pistol/smg in a normal round. buying an awp when two guys on the team have one. not waiting untill the end of buy to buy the awp. buying anything another teammate droped. not giving a free ak to the guy who got wal-banged round 3 when you got 3 kills and a plant. rotating without talking to your team. not talking when you have a mic. typing when its not the buy and getting headshoted. not knowing taping opisite the way your moving makes you super acurate. not knowing the 5 places cts hide every time on dust 2. Rushing mid, ever. playing cat slow, ever. droping out after 15 rounds for a smoke. saving before the bomb is planted. saving too much. never saving. saving by hiding in spawn. not knowing that smoke in tunnel is always a trap. not knowing how grenades bounce. not shooting at pros crotches for that sweet sweet counter-crouch headshot

Instead of making anti-cheat better we made the only game mode worth playing locked to people 10 hours in. Wait, you liked that mode but were gone when we changed this? HONK HONK GET FUCKED PUBBY SCUM WERE A SPORT NOW DESPITE PROS LITERALLY JUST BEING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEST AT ABUSING TWO BUGS(stutter-step and crouch-dodge).

Actually i see where most of the Robustness meme comes from seeing as knowing how to best exploit the mechanics of the game is apparently an actual skill now.

Casual fucking sucks because to save their precious key money valve stuffs 20 into a server. competitive is locked untill your level three to 'prevent cheaters' when realy its mostly a scheam to sell operation coins to invest new players. demolition is okay but has been made thoroughly unrewarding to push people into mlg competitive mode. deathwatch is awpfull you never spawn in a good spot. arms race is a crapy gun game knockoff and the spawning sucks. Oh and the game is still full of hackers, could you please report them? Bots geared toward pros are used as space filler in casual game-modes with predicable results.

best of thirty round nuke ops when, rotate after 15. ops probably wont do well in the pistol round but that's what rushing is for.

Let's talk about CS:Go Custom games.

Back in CSS I spent literally thousands of hours playing the minigame and Zombie Escape/Zombie Survival servers having an absolute blast. The servers have only gotten better as the mappers have, I was fucking blown the fuck away when the Minas Tirith map came out for Zombie Escape. Shit was insane, humans won 100 points every time they lived to the end of the map, with there being many many stages in the map, and for every 100 points could buy items every round, getting more powerful (but only slightly) after every win, but zombies could also do the same if the high-point players died. The actual map design is basically the movies and outside of there being one shitty section after the siege towers taking way too fucking long to finish the whole map is really well balanced. The First and I think Second stages are great, as is the one when humans spawn in Osgiliath, but the rest are mostly unmemorable. The whole map is a gleaming fucking achievement for the Hammer editor, to this day I'm amazed that someone could accomplish everything in it and apply it into counter strike.

There's also a few other maps I remember, there's a Helms Deep map that's really hard, a Mount Doom one that's cool (and also unbalanced) as hell, a Black Mesa map that was incredibly difficult, and there's also some other ones that aren't based on popular franchises. One in particular that I can't remember the name of is where everyone spawns near a bunch of sky bridges and then sprint as fast as they can to a helicopter before the zombies spawn, with Arnold Schwarzenegger screaming get to the chopper in the background. After that it takes off and the humans shoot zombies off the side, completing various side things and pushing buttons to let their helicopter keep moving through the map until they hit a brick wall of game balance where the whole fucking thing revolves around you crouch-jumping onto two sets of infuriatingly tall blocks, just tall enough that you have to literally have a perfectly done crouch jump to get up on them, with zombies spawning behind it so that they can knife you over it if you fuck it up. I've only once seen humans beat that section in the hundreds of rounds of it I've played.

This.

I have like 200 hours in csgo almost and it's all custom games, I don't even have a rank. I play primarily zombie escape/survival. I think some of my favorite maps are doom , mako reactor , pirates of the Caribbean , frostdrake tower and zm (survival) maps with secrets, I really like the krusty krab survival map secrets. The server I play on lets you buy all guns at the start of the round, no points, but you earn server credits for things like tracer laser lines and skins and stuff. For escape maps, depending on the map I normally roll nova/sawed off , R8 or duelies , and grenades. on this server decoy grenades freeze all the zombies around it for 5-6 seconds and flashbangs act as a light for 10-15 seconds. I like maps like mako reactor or pirates of the Caribbean that have special guns in them that do certain effects when you press your "use" key. like the wall on pirates that makes a long wooden fence that blocks zombies for 10~ seconds.

zil on the sky bridge map you're talking about does one of the bridges break making the people on it fall into the water below? if so I know that map, it's pretty cool

by **Zilenan91** » Wed Apr 06, 2016 10:37 pm #167158

Yeah that's the map, if people fall into certain sections of water it puts them at the end of the map in little kill tubes if I remember right.

by **Amelius** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 2:10 pm #167288

I think this thread proves, at least to me, the reason why /tg/ makes terrible balancing decisions. Almost everyone here has terrible, irrational, uneducated opinions.

I'm LE. The P250 is not OP in the slightest (420weed is hilarious and silly, but kind of endearing. Kinda like Steelpoint] v.s. a one shot kill) and SMGs are underpowered and nigh useless at a LE+ level except for force buys and if you don't have enough money second round for a gun.

> people using the awp aggressively.

Pros do this all the time. The trick is you have to be very, very accurate and quick with it in order to perform. Keep in mind the AWP is a gun that innately reverses peeking advantage.

> buying kit when your in the wrong lane.

What. Every CT should have a kit on any non-eco round, economy-permitting. There are no lanes in this game. Heck, getting a single kit on first round, or on eco rounds your team intends to win (buys cheap nades) is a very valid strategy.

> people who dont understand head shots are king and normal body-armor does jack against it.

Kevlar is still extraordinarily useful against SMGs, pistols (eco rounds) and every shot which is NOT a headshot. You can do without head part of armor on CT if you know they aren't on eco (because an AK headshot would ohk anyway), but not on T without crippling yourself, but otherwise, you should always have armor. Especially because headkick and nade damage will rape you.

> Insisting on speaking spanish/koren/german/whatever even after your one freind who also spoke it ragequit and now the rest of the team cant understand you or eachother.

Not allowed to complain about teammates until you escape silver/nova. Everyone is roughly as bad as each other down in the trench.

> buying a shotgun/pistol/smg in a normal round

UMP is on-par with a famas close-midshortish range, and is 1k cheaper plus grants an extra 300 bucks a kill. Totally viable if you intend to play close.

> the 5 places cts hide every time on dust 2

CTs never hide anywhere on D2 unless it's cheese. No one camps in this game unless the bomb is planted, and even then, you typically want to cover bomb from a spot and prefire it, because of peeker's advantage. Likewise, even CTs 'camping' on site will always peek before you reach them.

> mg1 but you should rely on my calls and team support instead of my kills

Then you'll never get out of the trench. Information only does so much. if you're a 10-24 dead weight, then someone else has to play far out of their rank to carry you.

> a p250 is more powerful than an m4-s

Except it's a 13/26 pistol with no mid-long range accuracy, heavy damage falloff from a shortish range and semi-auto with only the first shot being accurate from stationary. It's useless outside of as a sidearm for awpers and on eco. Keep in mind that this game is about momentum. A gun that's 70% as powerful as an M4, but costs half as much will never be used when you or your team can afford an M4, because losing a round can spell the doom for several more, especially if you just got your first consecutive victory.

Contrast to the M4A1-S, automatic, high accuracy even over mid-long range, low recoil, far longer damage falloff, 20 bullets instead of 13, first 3 shots are ~100% accurate instead of 1, etc. etc. There's very good reasons why pros don't just use the P250 every round instead of buying M4A1-Ses and M4A4s.

If steelpoint has a photo of himself on the what do you faggots look like thread I'm totally pasting your face over his now.

TBH I'm pretty bad at csgo when it's not zombies. If i'm not on a custom server (zombie/bhop/surf) I play casual which is probably the scum of the earth but whatever I have fun 3/10 times there. I don't understand why valve never/can't make casual/a gamemode where it's unranked 5v5. because then I might actually try to play and learn the game seriously

by **ColonicAcid** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:35 pm #170349

it doesn't matter what your score is.

if you lose games, you lose elo. if you win games you gain elo.

im pretty sure valve dont even factor your score to how much elo you gain, because that would be dumb. if you impact a game enough to win it you will go up in rank, if you don't impact the game you are depending on one of your team mates to actually play over his rank and carry you. that is the basics of how to rank up on a team game with an elo system.
in league there's a saying:
40% of the games you get carried by your team
40% of the games you lose because someone carried on the enemy team
20% of the games are up to you to decide.

better players can change the last two percentages to be more, that's why their winrates are super high.

by **Zilenan91** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 12:06 am #170523

Just get good at videogames in CS, walk everywhere, aim head height, never reload unless you need to and never switch your weapons if you have to. I usually get around 30 kills in unranked games, never really bothered with going into the comp mode. I utterly trash deathmatch games most of the time if I get into them.

by **Supermichael777** » Wed Apr 27, 2016 4:42 pm #171941

Valves tutorial sucks watch a youtube series walk right before contact and run until its last man standing. Never crouch when peeking unless you like getting shoot in the knees. aim for the gut or the head, never stop moving, tap individuals and spray groups, the ak is best gun grab it and trade for an awp if you want one, most ct's will give anything for the one taps. The scout is better then you think.

Individual score does actually matter - it has a percentage influence. Score, however, is that thing at the end of the scoreboard that nobody ever looks at, which includes teamwork points. Winning or losing the match, however, matters much more.

Yes, but what actually matters is whether you lose or win.
You don't gain elo on losses, and you dont lose elo on wins. How much elo you gain in the long run doesn't really matter, as long as youre constantly winning you'll climb.

If you're more of a supportive player/in game leader your score won't reflect your carrying ability. No brain just aim will only take you so far.
