Counter Strike 2 gameplay discussion thread - no esport dweebs allowed. Discuss gameplay, updates, skins and anything else Counter Strike in this thread. >AnimGraph2 goes live in latest CS2 updatePotentially the biggest performance update since the drop of CS2. Thoughts?
>>2375759>AnimGraph2Feels better, got way more one taps, could be placebo but I don't think so
>>2375841My friend on a pretty mid pc setup is fragging out hard and claims the game runs noticably better for him.
Also on the topic of performance, this guy has been doing extensive testing on performance of CS2 settings (he's Russian and his audience of poorfag kids are all looking to maxx the fps on their i3 laptops). His latest video is on anti-aliasing which I feel is the most performance heavy setting in the game. https://youtu.be/chij6TmkG2I?is=3yEN0AB47n0XMa2w
>>2375841>>2375759I don't know about performance but the movement of the player models is a godsend, it feels really good
drops reset yet?
>>2375759Another update dropped gonna go check if it makes spraying better
>>2375890Man so much stuff dropping in such a short time. What have they been doing behind the scenes? Have they been working on this for 2 years straight or did they reassemble a new team last year and finally began working on CS2?
I have follow recoil on is that a crutch?
>>2375943Used to have it on some time ago but it was too distracting >>2375976Thanks for this
>>2375759CS2 is dead :(
>>2375759I have 125 stars. Should I get this ugly AK or 50 fever cases?
>>2376273I only play for drops
>>2376503Try going for the A1-S fade or items which trade into one.
>>2375943A little bit but I would argue in the long run it's counterproductive especially when you're tapping with pistols for example you just want your crosshair centered
Swinging got nerfed pretty hard. It's more like csgo now. The recoil screen shake is really nice too. More like csgo also>>2375943As long as you're not using 180 binds
>>2376887I just hope the game doesn't become a CT fest like late stage CSGO. Some maps already are... (70% of my kills are on T side)
I only play deathmatch. Imagine if they made arms race not give out shit XP
>>2378068Valve Deathmatch is unbearable. Just play community servers
>>2378075Need XP for my drops. If it weren't for drops I'd never boot up CS.
Post your unpopular opinions about CS2
>>2378068They should add iceworld to arms race or at least some more maps, love the mode>>2378075Yeah community dm is much betterAnyone notice that boom sound the game makes when you die now? Kinda weird
>>2378216>Anyone notice that boom sound the game makes when you die now? Kinda weirdYes
I’m gonna buy a kukri knife. Best animation for cheap knives
wish CTs could have an AK too. luv one taps
>>2378520CTs are supposed to use the auto sniper
>>2378179I don't miss CSGO for one bit. I miss the memories of CSGO but I never liked the game that much.
>>2378398hell yeah brothermake sure to have the switch hand button mapped to your mouse so you can spam it, turns the Kukri into something that can challenge the Karambit for best animations.
>>2378615Post a video of that
>>2378879yea post vid of what you mean please
>>2378879>>2379064https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9KUH3mJ6-IM
>>2379071lol it’s juggling
>>2379081Because you alternate between 2 animations it looks like you're doing magic tricks
>>2379083Yeah I know it’s cool and worth 100 dollars
Just 16-14'd a Ruski 5 stack with at least 1 guy toggling every other round Feels fucking great.
>>2379107Also jesus christ what's wrong with their sadboy emo steam profiles? All of them are in these edgy anime groups with names like "D E P R E S S E D" Do Russians no longer bully each other?
>>2379130the war is hitting their economy hard atmthe regular people that isthe government recently even openly addressed it, which they usually haven't done and that alone tells it's getting bretty serious
>>2379216it's not that much about war this depre??ed dead inside zxc kaneki ken "subculture" started in mid 10s in Dota and in covid gained big popularity spreading on the internet and with that to other games like CSGO, accompanied by russian emo rappers and shit like that. of course the war is another thing that can boost this kind of behavior but it's not the main thing.
>>2379321interesting, didn't know about the culture aspectI have heard from russians that things have been getting pretty bleak over there as well though and that the younger people are completely jaded about their futureboomers gonna boomer
cheaters in every lobby
>>2378179People blaming missing viewmodel_recoil 0 for causing spray control to "feel bad in cs2" are bots. The viewmodel doesn't even move that much and why are you focusing so much on some minor viewmodel movement?
Anime Graph 2? Didn't change shitSpray screen shake change? Very good
just blew my entire budget of 5 bucks on 10 light blue skins for a guarantee profit tradeup to get the worst item and losing all my profit it's so fucking over
is it still worth to get the armory passes at this time? Have nothing to do and was thinking about buying 5 of them and grinding them out over the next week. Originally I wanted to do that and spend all stars on the new case and immediately sell them but it seems like there wont be one and only new collections will drop which makes it more way more gamba.
had a nightmare where I got my weekly drops and cases and terminals were gone and the only things given now were sprays and gray skins
Rush B got called at the start of the round, but I ended up being the only guy to jump out of mirage b apps
>>2381288It's like that on this bitch of an Earth.
dead hand terminal took a dive. Sold one last week for above $4. Sold my dropped one today for under $3.
I uninstalled this piece of shit game, wont go back to it until a new operation comes out. Faceit is full of the biggest babies in all of mankind and Premier gives me teammates that dont know how to throw util, take space or not retardpeek in the post plant.Its not fun being high elo anymore
>>2381288El classico
Why do people underestimate the FAMAS so much? It's been buffed multiple times over the years and is in a really good spot now. I also find it pretty easily to spray with, though definitely not on par with the M4
How weird would it be to switch out my queen jags for cobalt skull handwraps while running a gold themed loadout? Feel like the punchy blue of cobalt wraps goes hard with gold.
>>2381155don't worry, the next drop will give you a $20 skin
>>2381836I had the AWP Green Energy dropped to me right on first drop after release. Sold it for €228 and got myself some King Snake gloves.Horrible investment in hindsight, Valve nuked glove market not long after.
>>2378520kill a T to get one
>>2381676
>>2381676between the mp9, 5-7, deagle and scout there's little reason to buy the famas at its current priceI'd 99/100 of times rather take one of those guns + util than famasother people also buy it rarely, meaning famas is among the guns you get to play the least rounds with in gamesand it's not that the spray is that hard, it's just that when ak/m4/galil all have much more similiar patterns they're easy to swap around, famas has a much different pattern so it always feels jarring to suddenly spray with itit's just in an awkward spot
Anime Graph 2
>>2381676Its incredibly situational. The MP9 is much better most of the time, but you'd pick up a FAMAS if you're forcing and playing a position like mid on Ancient.
>>2383563mp7 seems to be the famas replacement now too. that kill bonus $$$ and more range than mp9
got about 20 armory stars left to grind out what do with them for profitz
>>2383815I got about thirty and gonna wait for the new collections to buy and sell after seven days
>>2383563>>2383798mp7 (mp5sd is basically used only by b1t) and famas both sit in that uncomfortable middle ground of trying to be universal all-purpose weapons (budget m4:s basically) while being both relatively expensive and getting outshined by the more specialized weapons that work much better in specific positionsfor CTs the question is always: "would I rather have the mp9?" and in the rare cases the answer is no, cheaper weapons like the scout, 5-7 or deagle are better optimized for the spots you end up playing, not to mention cheaperthe only use I've ever found for the mp7 was on train CT yard to counter-rush over-aggressive Ts, but even that's basically a set-up play that requires your teammates actually throwing useful utilThey should probably fiddle with the prices and/or kill rewards for both the mp7 and the famasI also only now remembered the ump even exists, what a piece of shit that gun is in its current form
>>2383815Fever Cases
hey there 4chins i dont post or browse much but im here to ask for helpmy older bro gave me this aug torque with some crazy stickers on it, but the aug itself is shit-cheap so no one is buying it, im wondering if there is a place to find people who do care about the stickers worth since the stickers alone cost 1.2kim willing to trade it either for money or for a karambit brightwater + FN polygon gloveshttps://files.catbox.moe/2mv70g.png(UAE 4chennerz need 4chan pass to post pics)
>>2381676A lot of non-full buy guns suffer from the same sort of issue where they're generally great in some niche scenarios but the skill level of using some of the others that are well-rounded balances that out. Others have said it before but the MP9 is as viable as it is because all it takes is one kill with it which is trivial to do if you get up close to a T (which is easy because they need to come to you) so that you can then swap to an AK and likely get 1 or 2 more kills assuming you aren't immediately traded, which in that case wouldn't have mattered if you were even using a M4. I think the only mid-range gun that enables something worthwhile map control wise for CTs is the Negev because that turns you into a map control denial player for the span of its magazine.I agree, FAMAS is fantastic and in fact I tend to use it way more than I was (I've had it equipped this whole time for my loadout since CS2 introduced that) but its use case is being a suboptimal anchor because you don't have 30 bullets in the mag and you can't spray as easily with it compared to either of the M4s, both aspects are important for anchors and even something like the MP9 or even MP7 is better in this regard. As a rotator/retake weapon it depends on the map but most site retakes involve clearing out close angles which SMGs or even shotguns do way better.
>>2384881erm, looks like that link didnt workhttps://litter.catbox.moe/hqujie60ht1ehmar.pngdoes this work sorry im a newfag lol xd
>>2384881Hate to burst your bubble but applied stickers are worth 10% of their value usually
>3 blood splatters>hit according the game 1>two dinks on the head>hehe ackshually 2 ak shots on d hed is 99What the fuck is this game even
>>2384993kinda expected that... thanks tho
>>2385030turn off the predictions my guy
>>2385064It's fucking off, that's why I am even more mad on why the fuck is this game lying
>>2378179subtick is forever shit, I don't know what kind of indian shit valve is eating but this is never EVER acceptable in anywayinstead of making improvements on le animations or le view punch or even VAC, they should spend their fuckass money on bringing back 120
>>2385093that shouldn't be posible without predictions I think(?), unless there's some real funky lag happening on your connection or somethingwhat's your ping?
>>238511140 to 60
>>2378179All it'll take to humble csgo glazers is for them to die from a one-way smoke. A reminder that CS has gotten better from the old days.
is it possible to block a server region so that i dont matchmake into them?im sick of being put in servers full of retarded musty indians that dont listen to ur info or comms
>>2385569Heard of this https://github.com/FN-FAL113/cs2-server-picker haven't tried it though, don't want to lose the chance to learn russian for free

>>2384612The MP7 beats both the MP9 and FAMAS now in most use cases. It's been meta since the big buff.
>>2386424>MP9No. Absolutely not. A single squirt with MP9's high rpm will delete an opponent even at medium range. The only thing going for the MP7 is if you need to do a longer burst or want to shoot while running and neither is advisable to begin with. Or shoot at long range, but both guns are kinda bad for it to begin with.>FAMASIt's close, but basically both compete for similiar situations, comes down to a question of economy management and preference. If the engagement ranges are longer then it's FAMAS, so you get a bit more versatility for your money.At least all three guns are usable, unlike the UMP.
>Dropped weapons with silencers now correctly reflect the silenced state.fukken finally
damn I want an AK slate but they're so expensive
>Valve confirmed Cache coming out next week on their twitterhttps://x.com/CounterStrike/status/2047747713438269704We are so back bros
>>2380493same thing for people not using follow recoil. Why are you focusing on the wrong thing?
anybody else again getting the bugged +w at the start of the round since the animgraph2 update dropped? so fucking annoying
>>2386934AK slate is 8/10 skin, I love mine
Thought about buying some passes and grinding Dm for stars before the new update but jfc its an absolute bot fest. Atleast half of all lobbies are bots, often just straight up spin bots. Glad I checked it out first because I couldnt deal with this shit while grinding hours for stars. Like how fucking difficult can it be to ban these obvious farming bots?
>>2387308I LIKE FOLLOW RECOIL I HATE THE HATERS
>>2383563I made that post after dominating mid on ancient with the FAMAS Guess you're right
>>2387946>I LIKE FOLLOW RECOIL I HATE THE HATERSi always tell people to uncheck this shitty ass feature and will never understand why it was even added in the first place, youll never learn proper recoil control with this>why yes i want to play like im driving on a bumpy road thank you???
Am I supposed to go afk or just abandon a premier match with a ragecheater? I don't want to ruin my stats but I don't want to tank my stats.
>>2388509I just run it down mid
>>2388509Depends how much you wanna try, you can run into his molies or block him
>>2388607>>2388639Had a minor aneurysm typing that. I meant when the enemy team has a ragecheater just wallbanging everyone with awp. Should I just leave to save my stats? Last time I died 19 times with 3 kills because of it and it ruined my stats.
Is counter strafing also affected by connection? I can do it reliably on local with friends and in practice maps but it's wonky when I do it in casual/comp/premier
>>2387177which map do you think is getting axed?
>>2389130I hope it's overpass for maximum basedlord tears.
>>2389130Hopefully inferno.Just started playing again, this is coming from a shitter in 9k elo. I hate every single part of that map, especially banana.
>>2389150I hate inferno but it has the highest winrate and most games played for my 5 stackIt's a pretty neutral map since nobody mains it
>>2388502>youll never learn proper recoil control with thislmao ppl just repeat this uncritically without thinking.I'm 2800 hours in, start in Nov 2024. 90% of my time follow recoil is on, and my aim is better than anyone in my ELOs because of it (I lose games top fragging the whole lobby:^))
why is the hitreg better in deathmatch than the actual game mode that matters
>>2375759can they start fixing the servers or are we going to be like this forever?
need a nice cheap M4A4 skin
>>2389371there are plenty
>>2389403Splurged
they're cutting miragefinally
>>2389592They will never do itLike McDonalds cutting the Big Mac
>>2389662nah it's getting a rework, but will be out for a while with cache taking its place
>>2389592>cutting miragehttps://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/adf82597-c086-4d18-b7ff-4218edf3447c
>>2388707premier doesn't have stats only faceit
>>2388774local with friends? you are having friends come over and LAN with you? cool
>>2389192what elo are you in? low faceitlvl 10 im guessing?
>>2389130mirage!
>>2389447basado
>>2389447imagine this with a Faze holo
>>2388509>statswhat stats? the only stat is the ranking points, and playing against a cheater you are already bound to lose those. so just do what you feel doing.even on Faceit nobody really looks at stats
idk bros thinking of scraping these stickers
>>2390189>>2391668I found a site for tracking stats and got a bit autistic about improving them instead of just using them as suggestions on what to improve I guess.
just made this, r8
>>2392243don't those sites generally only keep your last few games in mind?
>>23925267/10 would look better on a night
>>2392533idk, scope shows last 30 games I think. But I realized now that it doesn't matter because half of my games are determined by griefers and cheaters anyway
>Sold a sticker for 6 bucks>how I feel browsing the steam market for a skin for a gun I suck with in a game I suck at
>>2392764Yeah it's a very odd thing to care about, even though I somewhat understand. However in CS people exclusively care about your rank. How you got there doesn't matter.
>play on stockholm servers>only get uzbeks or ruskis 100% of the time as teammatesenglish comms like 1/50 games, i can't deal with this bs
>>2393372London servers or bust Anything else is thirdie hell
Has anyone here ever played on 1152 x 864? It's such a random resolution but it showed up in my CS2 ingame settings and this shit slaps. Been hitting crazy shots
>>2375759I don't know too much about CS. I have about 500 hours in CS2, but to me it feels like this game is similar to golf in the sense that this game is all about precision and meta gaming. Knowledge is king and cross hair placement, gun recoil knowledge, and map deduction/awareness are the keys to get really good. However I gave it up, it made me really angry whenever I'd play it.
>>2393376fuck me, i get so low ping on stockholm i will never be able to get london kek
>>2375890I just had the game of my life, we are so fucking back spraychadsThe animgraph update feels like how cs2 should have launched
>>2381676i'd rather have an mp9, armor and a grenade or two 9/10 times, >>2382853 is right in that there's a whole line of options I think of before I consider dropping 2k on the famas alone
>>2394109they should remove the aimpunch with kevlar though, wtf is this
>>2392533It depends. Most I've seen aren't 100% accurate, I've had friends who hit LEM in csgo and some of those sites say their max rank was mg2 lol
>>2394149yea i'm not sure if that's intended or not, ive noticed that too. it's annoying when playing against save rounds as its a huge indirect buff to SMGs
super quake viewmodel when
>>2394499dang that's one sexy viewmodelvolvo plx fix
>>2393427I just play 1440x1080 4:3 since I have a 1080p monitor, what would be the difference?
>>2394165it only started tracking mm ranks in like 2019. if u were global in 2017 it wouldnt count. he means aim positioning and utility stats>>2394149apparently its alwas supposed to have been like that. it was just bugged for awhile so it was super minimal and hard to notice
miss me old stattrak point disarray
>>2395532I still have mine :)
>>2394778I also have a 24" 1080p monitor. Most people use lower resolution because of the perceived gain in performance and because they are used to the look and feel of the game at lower resolutions. For example your crosshair can never be the exact same between resolutions because it doesn't scale.
damn this new spray feels fucking amazing.
enemies are still running and one tapping with deagI thought the animgraph update was supposed to fix this?
Last week I bought a 5 year old Zowie 240hz TN monitor.After getting used to the awful TN colors I can safely say this shit is a MASSIVE upgrade compared to any other monitor. Enemies move around so smooth and clear, you can perfectly track their heads regardless of what they are doing. When you go back to IPS after you suddenly see what kind of blurry mess moving enemies are.
got a cheeky hundo coming me waythinking I'll get some nice play skins, some investment skins, and play the rest on some case openings
>>2396789I'm eyeing the nouveau rouge
when will this shitty "light mouse" meme ever end??best mouse I ever rocked was a g9x - with block weights incompanies somehow equated cutting down on material and freight costs with better mice while demanding a premiumyou do not get better with less mouse weight. It fucking sucks and you've been brainwashed
it's time to get serious. What's the meta loadouts for CT and T?
>>2396815That new Crane AK mogs the Nouveau Rouge imohttps://csgoskins.gg/items/ak-47-crane-flight
>>2396843Never. I bought a wired mouse which weights 50 grams and it was called "obsolete on arrival" by the reviewers.Apparently there's a whole community of people who base their entire personality around gaming mice on the internet.
>shaky hands in casual
>>2397461didn't know about this one, it's very sexy the wear seems much better on it compared to rouge
>>2397739Yeah it's new and it wears very nicely so you can buy a low float FT one without worryingI would wait a bit though seeing it's a new collection
oh boy time to "have fun" grinding stars in deathmatch all day
>>2398054why torture yourself like that for such little gain?
are they going to bring agent skins back or was this a one time thing?kinda looking for the leet krew dude but 40 bucks for something that i myself dont see and doesnt have voicelines is mehhh
>>2398182yea i have him with a lambda patch cuz im an old nostalgiafag
>>2398182nah the devs got bored and all the artists moved on to deadlockYea I'd love some move agents and patches for them. Maybe it's difficult or a more touchy subject to add agents from different militaries due to all of the ongoing conflicts.
>>2398109that's the only "fun" mode in the game
Dropbros, new case on wednesday?>Tfw you farmed drops on drop day and dead hand dropped the next day
fuuuuark need a FN temukau
>>2398182got some agents for a few bucks a pop at the time riptide came outsurprised to see they are now 10x in price
>>2398788gonna wait for cache to drop and see if it comes with new skinsthen again dead hands are still pretty new, so i dont think there will be a new collection
>>2393427Yeah thats placebo. It doesnt matter much except for crosshairs and weird resolutions like 1:1 and 5:4 that make your sens feel wonky as hell. Ive been using 800x600 for the last week just for fun
>>2398182Why do people bother with agent skins, it's literally pay2lose
>>2399663it depends, some skins are harder to spot in some places, some are easierI'd say it averages out to a washnameplating/differentiating, yeah I get it, but also matters less than people think in matchmaking>Whysame reason people buy any skins: because they want toluv me NZSAS, simple as
>>2398182hopefully no more yapping bitches
My friend got so much better at CS2 after the animgraph2 update, like he's carrying every match.I didn't get any better. What happened, how do I cope?
>>2399663cause hes cool, thats it
>>2399843you were relying too much on movement and being hard to hitessentially your gameplay was dependent on your opponents being kinda shit and missing their shotspeople with good aim got a buff with the new better animations and netcode. oh and the recoil update is better for aimers too.if you want to cope you could say that it buffed some playstyles more, but it really just rewards good aiming more consistently and predictably nowif you want to do something beyond coping: start training your aim beyond just playing DM
>>2399950it's better for sure, but I still regularly get running one tapped by ak
finally grinded out the 40 stars on the armory pass I bought. Should I reup?
>>2396843just get a job you lazy fuck
So I was thinking about getting a 1440p monitor but since ive always used shitty 1080p 60hz ones my entire life im not sure exactly how it works with certain games. I mainly browse, watch youtube etc and the games I play are mostly older or Indie games with CS2 basically being the only ''demanding'' game (Just DM, Arms race every now and then so not ultra competitive). So CS2 is the only game that I play I think my PC would struggle in 1440p with so I was wondering can I simply set it in game to 1990x1080p and if that would look alright. Anyone in a similar situation and doing that?
>>2395993why not the 360hz TN? i bought it new like 2 years ago for like $500. it must be basically free now that the tryhard bar has moved up to 600hz and DyAC 2.that being said. i upgraded from the 360hz TN to 500hz OLED and oh boy ... is that shit better when it comes to visibility and not raping my eyes every day.
how we feel about stattraks?
>>2400809Buy a cheap 27" 1440p 240hz IPS panel and start playing cs on potato resolutions for max fps (e.g.1280 x 960). It's worth it for the refresh rate alone.>>2401174Cool if you've been using the same skin since 2013 I guess.
I boughted
>>2400619I have a jobtell me where to buy a better mouse, faggot
>>2400809u cant play in 1920x1080p on a 2k monitor. it comes out all blurry and fucked up.... if u had a decent graphics card u can play in a stretched 2k resolution thing.... like the benefits of stretched with the nice graphics of full res.
>>2401479Does it looks worse than 1980x1080p on a native 1080p 27inch monitor (the way im playing right now)?
>>2401377zowie
>>2401976i retract my advice, holy fuck 160 bucks for the mouse i have without a cable since 2021, goddamn
yuge
>>2401570yes it literally does not stretch properly and looks all fucked up. ud have to play in 1280x960 like the other anon said. google it u will see it doesn't mathematically or whatever work
how do you jump on objects without overshooting and looking like a complete idiot again?there was a consistent method with which you could jump on something like the barrel at car on mirage and be instantly precise, cutting the jump short...
>>2402209youtubers say that gives you instant precision but its a lie... it still takes some time to be precise again... ive done it with tests weapon_debug_spread and there is still quite a delay... maybe its just 2x as fast as when you dont cut the jump short.anyway its simple my friend. just release crouch at the right time after jumping instead of holding it the whole time. the shorter the object the quicker the release
erm cache is in but the armory???? gabnenm????!@
vas
>>2403006ZOMG 3
Spent 200 dollarydoos on skins when I suck ass at the game and only play death deathmatch and casual
I can't get used to the new animations, sometimes it's like the legs move too late making it very confusing when someone stops.
>playing premier 25k+ and get a hacker so we lose 13-1>start another game and it's another hacker but something incredible happens>OUR TEAM HAS A HACKER AS WELL>AND HE'S BETTERwe won the game easily and the entire match he was taunting the other hacker asking where did he get his cheap hacks from
Is this worth buying? Steam market listings are at $70 but skinport has listings at like $40. Can I make $10 profit if I ask over pay for good float? I don’t know jack shit abt float values but this seems to be really low
>>2403535My account is worth $3000 and I play DM about 99% of the time on a server with skinchangers active
>>2401067Money and local availability. I didn't really know what to expect so I went with a local second hand offer first. With the experience I'm having now I will definitely upgrade to an even faster panel some day. For now this will suffice.
>>2401174Love them but once you have a stattrak I feel the autistic urge to increase the numbers so I limit myself to just 1 stattrak weapon overal, see >>2395728
Do you pay to open terminals like case/key?
>>2403644No, terrible way to spend your money. I have a friend who sometimes opens shit after a few games of premier and he must make like €0.30 for every €1 spend. If you are clever and keep track of tradeups, collections going out of rotation, buying limited items during operations, etc the money is best made by just buying things.
>>2403535I've spent 500 and play the same as you plus arms race. Had some profit already with some skins
>>2403618Steam market will always be higher because it's not real money. I'd get it
why am I stuck <15k elo look at this shit I don't get ithttps://leetify.com/app/profile/76561198033808247
>>2403827Consistency, last few matches negative kd
i dont like new cacheits so bright and ugly (well done ugly but ugly)
>>2403835yes, definitely, but I don't know what to do about it, I have a terrible matchmaking experience (high trust) and every second match is -550 +120 against a 5-stack with a smurf and 2 low elo guysmy util is shit too but I mostly play entry/lurkI got 6000h and was LEM-GE in csgo
cache would be the perfect map to replace mirage
>>2403868this fuck mirage
>>2403868>>2403874insha'Allah
AAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEE DEAD HAND TERMINALS PRICES ARE CRASHING
>>2403912every wednesday anon
>>2403827>>2403835dont listen to this guy. u have a +3.27 leetify rating and 82 aim stat. You are carrying hard as fuck consistently enough. >>2403841Your mechanics must be very proper if you're 82 aim stat with rifles (much easier if your abusing scout and awp) You should learn more util for entrying... Like nade combos to help you get map control and space. Your positioning is a lil low, but sometimes thats because of retard teammates, but you might be lurking too much. I mean you're still carrying hard, but try and trade your teammates, or make yourself tradeable to your teammates more often. Also comming a lot telling your teammates what to do if you can. If you're carrying they usually listen. I'm in a similar situation as you with premier. Your mechanics look solid and you seem like a rifler with that great HSP and crosshair placement. So learn these two things better and you are playing like a 25k+ for sure.I'm 76 aim rating (all rifle) carried hard by my elite counterstrafing (ive averaged 95% over the past 30 games lol) My HSP and crosshair placement is kinda wonk, but my movement and spotted accuracy and spray control carry me. I got a 65 utility rating and 60 positioning. I played cs2 for a little when it was brand new and got 12k premier which was top 8%. Just started again and I'm climbing out of this hell. The truth is it's just gonna take time of grinding shitloads of matches (or get a stack going of other people who are high skilled for their elo) I have 90 matches from season 1 where i ended at like 12.5k elo. Season 2 started me at 14.5k elo and I got it up to 16k in 65 matches.>>2403839the look of cs2 is just ugly compared to csgo even though the graphics are better, it's a better thing for competitive play though, they are visually less contrasty while the playermodels are high contrast. reminds me of the color design of tf2. Doesn't look as cool, but a lot better competitively. New cache is pretty S tier for competitive design.
>>2405409 (cont)I'm not done ranting, but I think if I had more time to grind premier id be in low 20-25k pretty easily. You def have the mechanics to be 25k+ if you learn a lot more util+entry combo pathing for all the maps etc. I think if you just keep grinding and playing the way you are ull eventually get some good luck and break out a bit... The fastest way out is if you can get some friends to queue together though. You can always try faceit you should be able to get at least level 8 on there. I think if you get 20k premier though it starts you in 7 which makes it a lot easier. I had a guy on my team yesterday with 83 aim 60 utility 63 positioning and we won 4v5 (edgelord left 4 rounds in when we were winning and instaabandoned over some death of his) He had top tier coms (our 2 other teamates were a shitty 2 stack on discord together) Me and him played heavy on gaining info on CT mirage and were able to carry the game around and win. I asked him if he was smurfing and i checked his leetify and the dude started in 5k LMAO. Hes been going through hell. Solo Q is hard man, don't put yourself down, im sure if I watch your demos you're a fucking beast man. You just gotta team up with people or play over 500 matches eventually ur goodluck adds up and comes through and ur at 25k. Maybe try playing at diff times and see when u have the best goodluck runs and less smurfs are on so its easy carrying. IDK. I been trying to figure this shit out too haha. Good luck man
25k+Great in ct side but lost in t side, what do
AAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEE THEY NERFED CACHE
>>2405409> Like nade combos to help you get map control and space.to be quite honest with you I know three nades total and one of those is the Pizza molly on dust2I should really learn some but I never feel like it>much easier if your abusing scout and awpI don't AWP often but I do abuse scout headshots only, kind of my specialty. mostly AK/M4A1 though>you might be lurking too much100%, usually my positioning hovers around 55-60>Also comming a lot telling your teammates what to do if you can.I try dude. Honestly I think I have really good gamesense and can read the game real well and I usually do try to make some calls but my team usually doesn't realize CS is a fast-paced game so I take the opportunity to catch off rotates solo and get killed half the time because I can't count on real cover>If you're carrying they usually listen.they actually did last game>The fastest way out is if you can get some friends to queue together thoughI pretty much only do only play with my friends (all ~15k) usually a duo-quadthey're a tough bunch of retards to wrangle cause it's my high school cs squad ganged up again after 10 years>You can always try faceit you should be able to get at least level 8 on thereI am lvl7 on FaceIt, but I mostly play cs with friends now and I don't usually have enough time or energy to play faceit solo after that>Good luck manthanks, you too>im sure if I watch your demos you're a fucking beast manI got a few autogenerated clips you can check out, but they're definitely not the best of mehttps://allstar.gg/clip/69f26754c9ace99397d9bdb5https://allstar.gg/clip/69ed3bc185f51423cd208dc3https://allstar.gg/clip/69b3358717c47184fffba491https://allstar.gg/clip/69874f613b75e72702dd3029
>>2406091and I remembered I made these two webumsthese are both from faceit lvl6-7
>>2406103
>>2406105
>>2406091yea scout and scout headshots will def boost the aim rating up on there quite a bit. If you're playing with shitter IRL friends it might be better to just keep your rank low and stop caring. That way you can go off and carry them easily. If none of your friends are doing team oriented stuff like setting up nades and pop flashes for you then you might be hurting your rank by queing with them. You could of luckily got an awesome smurf on your team instead of them etc. You can stop caring about your rank, or start mastering some util on like two maps and always trying to get those maps with your friends. For d2 for example learn the long flashes and cross smoke if ur buddies have a good long spawn. If not drop suicide smoke doors molly cat and take cat control etc.
>>2406194>>2406091you just owned some lvl 8s and 9s on cache. U had another 8/9 random on your team who was 2nd ADR behind you. Looking thru ur aim stats its seems you have super good mouse control and xhair placement, but your recoil control is a bit weak, and you're counterstrafing is weak too.. only 74% last game. So from a mechanical standpoint you need to get better at movement and recoil control. Practice the hell out of counterstrafes and make them really clean (never pressing A and D at the same time or leaving too big of a gap between A and D so your velocity is the best it can get) Also just not fucking them up. Then now with cs2 since the wonky subtick there are all sorts of new movement techniques you can learn and abuse like the donk slide and tap crouching, donk bob and weave, etc. practicing all of these while still controling the recoil well can be pretty tricky since you're moving up and down. Yea but you have really good fucking raw aim, so working on your other mechanics will help too if u want to get better, but without learning utility combos like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8psA4s8qqGs
>>2406194>it might be better to just keep your rank low and stop caring. That way you can go off and carry them easily.yeah I've been thinking of that too, the grind to 20k+ would probably take a hundred or two hours>If none of your friends are doing team oriented stuff like setting up nades and pop flashes for you then you might be hurting your rank by queing with themthey do try but my playstyle is way too fast-paced for them to keep up, someone can flash me out but after an entry I'm going to keep pushing and swing immediately, so if they try to pop flash me without my call I usually end up getting teamflashed just as I peek>or start mastering some util on like two maps and always trying to get those mapsall my homies love Inferno and Cache>you just owned some lvl 8s and 9s on cacheI noticed they weren't Silver 4s but I wasn't expecting 20k players now I checked lol>super good mouse control and xhair placement, but your recoil control is a bit weak, and your counterstrafing is weak too.. only 74% last gamethe thing is I never really learned anything about the game. I just played and played and I guess my aim and gamesense naturally got better but I suck at anything you have to learnit feels that it would now take really long just to catch up in those things compared to other stats>Also just not fucking them up.I have a tendency to zone out a lot while holding an angle and counterstrafing and get swung like a retard on what was an easy shot, and I mostly play while smoking weed and that makes me zone out on probably 30% of shots if holding a static angle and there's no infoso I got good at playing aggressive/off-angles with rifles/scout, holding conventional angles and being static in general makes me kinda nervousthanks for the advice, before stats sites I actually thought gamesense was my strongest side. my crosshair placement is good because I just feel where people are and I preaim swing into themI will check out the movement techniques.
alright lads, im completely out the loop with cs2, hadnt played it since it was csgo in covid. I remember seeing a video about a year or two ago about these keyboards that made counter-strafing really good. is this actually a thing? is it good and do lots of people buy them for cs2 etc?
>>2407138doesn't make a difference when everyone you meet will be doing running headshots on you anyway
>>2407138VAC kicks you if you use that feature (and that's a good thing obviously)
>>2407138If you're talking about snap tap, well it WAS.https://prosettings.net/blog/what-is-snap-tap/
It took me 200 hours to learn how to aim in this game, I am smooth brained. At least I know not to care about cosmetics after my experience of working in a casino lol.>>2379130I had a ukranian friend who taught me that slavic culture is 10 years behind the west. They are still in their 2016 sad boy juice world emo bart edit phase. In 2016 they were obsessed with scene kid shit like having skinny jeans and listening to bullet for my valentine or asking Alexandria.

What the fuck is going on with peoples legs moving like they were dancing a fucking polka? That update was shit, people looking like running and gunning when peeking didn't stop.
>still zero (0) community DM servers running CacheI'm so fucking sick of Mirage and Dust, they're such awful maps for DM
>>2408115I assume cybershoke will add it soon, they said so on their discord
gonna get drunk and play deathmatch tonight bros
Frens is a mousepad worth it? Never had one >>2408189Based
>>2408409I went all in and bought a mousepad that isn't the generic Steelseries one and I love it. It's called "endgame gear em-c poron"I don't think there's much of a performance difference between mousepads but they are definitely nice to have.
>>2408115yea id play a lot more dm if it was on all maps. I like practicing my xhair placement for all the positions in DM, but you can only do that on d2 and mirage :(
I've played Cache all evening with my friends. Had a lot of fun but I feel like this map will become stale incredibly quick. Half the rounds were straight deathmatch
>>2408806its a great pug/matchmaking map, but i could see it being super stale for pro players
>>2407311>>2407309thanks for the info gents>>2407140yeah im getting mauled in some casual games. and so many more people have knife skins now
>>2408840yeah I remember maining it on CSGO early on because I knew absolutely no util so it was easily the best map I just feel like the general level of play has improved and when teams try some strats you'll hit the ceiling very quickly.
>drank some coffee for improved aim and response time>now I can't sleepfug :DDDD
Why do seemingly "cheap" skins sometimes just skyrocket in price? Just to name two I noticed in my inventory FiveSeven Buddy fn - worth less than £2 in decemberTek-9 Flash Out fn - worth less than £0.50 in december
IT'S UP
>>2409183if the answer isn't obvious (like the tradeups you can get) then the answer is always china, either through market manipulation or because some pattern looks like tianamen square at peace&harmony
They should lower the price of the scout and the famas

>map out for two whole days>still not a SINGLE community DM server hosting it>can't even play it on the dreaded ValveDM because they've grouped it in with a dozen other shit maps in a playlistdead game
>>2412929I got a lobby in DM where everyone voted for cache. Played about 4 straight games there
>>2412959all the more reason for them to give it a dedicated DM mode, especially since it's brand new. I fucking hate the playlist system of matchmaking that consoleniggers popularised. That being said, even the CoD developers have the sense to give a new map its own dedicated "playlist" when it first releases.
can we get some fun casual modes plox
I've not played since before it changed from CSGO to CS2 because I was busy being a productive member of society.Now that I have money I want to buy and trade some skines. Which market takes the lowest cut for deposits/withdrawals and which has the lowest sale fees (assuming they're different ones)?
>>2402031retard
holy shit bros i pulled the two sport and field pinks 4 stars apartaxia is MW and the rainbow spoon is FT
>>2415364based, very nice skins.Play with them for a while and sell them after prices go up
>>2414587The entire western skins market is on CSfloat nowadays.
>>2412929Please understand the technical difficulties of adding an official Valve map to community DM, they're working hard
premier is such a shitshowunless I drop 30-bombs there's basically zero chance to win most of the timeI got queued with a literal 10yo. on nuke who kept asking for an AK drop every round...on the CT sidethen spawn idlerleaverguy who knifes at spawnguy whose utility is actively harmful; e.g. he mollied me when we were 2v1 and I had 3hp, died instantly and he lost the clutchI mean, I get you gotta top the server and carry to rise up, but it's often like playing 3v7 when we have a couple of players who barely have the brain capacity to keep breathing, it is a mystery to me how the even manage to queue up
>>2416089I cannot imagine myself ever solo queuing premier. Last time must be 2 years ago. Always make sure to at least duo and if possible 5 stack. When solo just play competitive.
>>240949390 degree aim punch, wat
>>2415858>official Valve mapThat leads me to my other point, why the fuck are all the DM servers only running Mirage, Dust2 and notexture variants of these two maps?There's so many better options for DM maps, yet we get stuck with literally two options. CS Source had way more options. Where's all the fun Lego/Simpsons themed maps???
>this is beyond the capabilities of the modern day CS2 modderfuck this gay earth
Is CS2 really worse than GO or is it just CSGO babs crying?
finally hit avg 7.99deg crosshair placement
>>2418126for a long time it was worse, but i havent heard much discussion around it for a while and havent heard any shitters crying in lobby about how csgo was better so id say its in a good spot
>finally get a blatant wallhacker in my team>he bottomfrags trying to hide it>enemy has 2 going full blatantits not fair
I'm not very good but damn going from 9-12k premier for a few months to 4-5k premier after two loss streaks has been brutal. Sub-5k games feel many times more difficult than 10k with trolling/disconnects/new players. Whichever teams has the smurf/faceit guy is just guaranteed the win
>be designated 40-year-old utility whore>take drugs to frag harderyep...now this is gaming...
>lets save up the armory stars for the new collection>end up spending them all just before I close the gamefug
>>2418460you can outaim your way ouy of 10k easilyjust practice more (git gud)
>>2418988I know I just got a little frustrated earlier. Even dropping 30 kills one match and 33 kills the next I still managed to lose both with people on my team not even getting out of single digit kills
>>2419217post your stats

>>2419293I have the same mouse as you and bought the Endgame Gear mousepad EM-CIt's a godlike combo
Lukewarm take: for me with just how amazingly well done the smokes are in CS2 I think the game is automatically better than CSGO.
>>2420492If the shooting improves it will be awaiting being better than CS:GO, when they add all the stuff they stole back to the game. >WHERE THE FUCK IS MY TUSCANY DEATHMATCH ???
>>2420492one-way smokes were absolute fucking cancer during the last stages of csgoI don't mind "knowledge checks" in competetive games when they are reasonable, but when the gameplay degenerates to>I know why that smoke looks like thatand then spam the one exact spot for that one-way it's not really engaging gameplayobviously it's doubly annoying when it's a one-way you don't know yet and get one-way'd, but even when you do it was just such a dumb mechanic that didn't really promote skill in any wayThe current cs2 smokes are without any exaggeration the best physics gameplay we have in any competetive game, doubly so because how the bullet holes and nade smoke dispersion work, not to mention how the smoke filling physics enable much more interesting lineups than with csgo smokes
>>2420648Yeah the pain when you threw a smoke without an exact lineup and now you only covered 95% of the surface so that last 5% will lose you the round.
>>2420100>A hand picked control surface with low static and high kinetic frictionI need something super fast and smooth though, I can't imagine playing on a regular fabric padis the MPC450 Cordura a good choice from them?
>>2420727I have never delved into the world of mousepads and like to keep it that way so I cannot help you with that. My suggestion is just looking up Reddit reviews. All I know is that the Endgear EM-C is far superior to Steelseries QCK
maybe check prosettings.net to see what the pros are using for a baseline
I don't know how you guys can enjoy DM. Half the spawns are straight up cancer like the cluster in B Mirage. Team DM would be much more preferable.. at this point that's what Casual is but with much more downtime between respawns
