I notice a lot of people turning on Valve lately. 2010s were far, far worse back when people were spamming lord Gaben memes everywhere.

Man when they added Ancient I really liked the map but everytime I play against a team who knows what they're doing it becomes painfully obvious the map is lacking in depth and options.
They literally spam the same util, run the same routes and yet there's seemingly next to nothing you can do since the game is just about who gets to hold mid and lane first

>>3077193
>a lot of people
Who? Name them. Where are they going?

>>3077211
The discourse around CS all over social media and streaming platforms like Instagram, YouTube and Twitter has become rather bitter and negative towards Valve.

>>3081442
Anubis is the only good map in the game

>>3081560

>>3081572
Nuke maybe.
Inferno is gay.

anyone notice a decrease in skill level now with the new vacnet and trust factor update
games seem easier now and my teammates also feel like they are not as "good" as they used to be
either im no longer getting closet cheaters or its just a fluke because my sample size isnt that big

First time on /vm/ and in a CS2 thread.

What's your take on the egg/chicken feeding?

>>3081442
Anubis is S tier map

>>3081572
>>3081598
Nuke is the true boomberbait map. Total gimmick map of a guy modeling his workplace and people pretend it's competitively viable.
It's like those maps of people mapping their highschools or the town from Simpsons

>>3083434
Very weird and uncessary yet it's interesting to see how much effort they put into it.
Also I logged in last week and my chicken was seemingly dead/KO on the ground.

>>3083434
There's another CS2 thread where the esport nerds congregate called magog, it has more traffic than this thread which is more meta discussion about CS2 (skins discussion and toggle accussations)

I can't play Mirage either. Since day 1 I figured that since Mirage is the most popular map and every 12 year old Ruski knows all the smokes etc it's simply not worth it to learn the map when you can get a lot better on other maps in the same time.
However this has gotten so bad I genuinely do not know what to do when I play on Mirage. Even my aim is completely fucked because I'm stressing out over what the fuck is going on and just don't know what to expect.

>>3083523
theres alot of location trust factor and skill difference here it would be difficult to put together a lobby
there are also some characters in this general that i would not want to play with at all

Why do chuds hate the FAMAS so much?
I find it a very serviceable weapon and prefer it over the smgs

>>3084673
because the average player would rather buy an M4 and then have no utilitly to do shit, and the pistols being very strong doesn't help

>>3081442
damn, I was just thinking of Mocha the other day. when I got into cs after source that and Grind were in the pool. took me way too long to find out what the names were

>>3085068
started playing a bit before grind was added, was fond of it but it sounds like a terrible idea to have in a comp pool.
Basalt would work well though, and mocha would be a nice 'unique layout' map to have. Breach and engage would be great too
also when +canals ?

>>3084673
Because it has neither good mobility which SMGs have and it will always lose to proper rifles.

>>3085201
M4 will also always lose to AK when both parties hit a headshot at the same time. Regardless the Famas has the same TTK as the M4A4.

>>3085243
>Regardless the Famas has the same TTK as the M4A4.
I wish we had a lore accurate famas. insane firing speed, awful recoil, slightly higher damage since longer barrel
or at least give us back a good burst, like the one we had for 6 hours a while back

>>3085267
I just wish they would do something about the burst firing modes in this game to give it some niche option. I know there are some stats hidden in there like highest possible first shot accuracy but to me that doesn't matter since I never feel like my first shots miss due to random accuracy vs movement.

>>3085277
just lessening the reset time of the burst to something usable would be enough to convert me at least, love gimmicky weapons. Would also take a more accurate third bullet

>>3085243
>M4 will also always lose to AK when both parties hit a headshot at the same time.
Except M4 is more accurate than the AK, and the AK isn't available to CTs.
>Regardless the Famas has the same TTK as the M4A4.
Wrong.

>>3085317
If you hit the same spots you will have the same TTK as the A4 on most ranges.

>>3085308
Definitely requires a more accurate third bullet. Right now when you burst fire the best you can hope for is a 2 hit

>>3085343
which is enough if you got the head, for me the time to reset is the bigger problem since if you miss you're as fucked as if you missed with the scout/awp

>>3085406
It is enough but so is holding your mouse 1 for like 0.2 second when aiming at the head

while we are discussing guns, here is a wish list
>CZ gets a faster switch and reload
>R8 becomes the R6 and gets faster firing, still not instant
>M249 gets one shot headshot at long range
>sawed off becomes a double barrel shotgun

>>3085437
R8 is busted already, people just haven't realised it yet. It will have its own Krieg moment.

My #1 wish is for the M4A1-S being brought back to before it's buffs and nerfs. 25 bullets in the mag with same damage profile as the A4.

>>3085456
it's good but nowhere nearly as good as the 5-7, the kek 9 or the deag, and it is much more situationnal. you can't hold angles with it

also forgot to add to my previous post, bring back shields to hostage casual, office doesn't hit the same without the GIGN loadout shield + revolver

>>3085332
The famas is significantly less accurate, with more damage falloff, more recoil.
I'm not wasting any more time falsifying your nonsense. The famas is objectively bad.

>>3085482
5-7 is 100% going to get nerfed

>>3085489
You said ttk was not the same as the A4 and now you're suddenly talking about various other stats.
Did you run the math and find out I was right?

>>3085497
You also curiously ignored the fact CT's cant buy AKs. Did you start playing the game an hour ago?
>You said ttk was not the same
It's not the same you fucking retard. You cannot look at 2 stats in a vacuum and pretend they are capable of the same thing. At range, the M4 rapes the famas. At lower ranges, SMGs rape the famas.
You brain damaged faggot. Keep quiet.

>>3085490
I'm not sure, unless it's a price bump/mag capacity nerf
being the utility slut will suck if they nerf it in its gameplay

>>3085508
>It is not the same
>Well ackshually it is but I don't like the gun so you have to factor in all sorts of unrelated shit
Famas has been buffed and had its price decreased. I'm telling you you're nerfing yourself by being stubborn and clinging onto the MP9 like it's 2025

>>3085456
>R8 is busted already, people just haven't realised it yet
I've had multiple people tell me this over the years after they buy one in-game and it still makes me giggle hearing them justify it. Its like some sort of way to pre-empt teammates from tilting

>>3085580
>Well ackshually it is but I don't like the gun
I explicitly told you why the famas isn't used you brain damaged faggot and you have absolutely no retort.
Stop humiliating yourself.

>>3085822
not him but the cs community is notorious for ignoring great but non meta options. You'll see teams with teams with 10k+ in the bank buying M4A4s but never buying AUGs, no one buys autonoobs despite it being very strong and in many cases better than the awp, the XM is still stronger than many options at that price and barely sees play
ffs pros didn't play the AUG and krieg for years, the UMP was mostly ignored, and nowadays the MP7 is very strong yet still unplayed

>>3085867
>You'll see teams with teams with 10k+ in the bank buying M4A4s but never buying AUGs
Because the AUG isn't better than the M4.
>no one buys autonoobs despite it being very strong and in many cases better than the awp
It's only better than the AWP if you're fucking shit and can't aim
>the XM is still stronger than many options at that price and barely sees play
the XM is 2k wtf are you talking about you can get an SMG and utility instead. Stronger yes, but economically no.
>>3085580
just to throw it in as well that SMGs have double the kill reward bonus of the famas.

>>3085990
>Because the AUG isn't better than the M4.
you need to try it if you think so, because it clears the A1S in all its strong points, and is better than the A4 in quite a few too
>It's only better than the AWP if you're fucking shit and can't aim
it's better when spamming, against ecos/forces/rushes. holding banana or squeaky for exemple. You can use many more positions than the awp since you don't necessarily die when you miss a shot
>the XM is 2k wtf are you talking about you can get an SMG and utility instead. Stronger yes, but economically no.
depending on the map/spot, the XM clears the galil, the famas and the P90. if you take price to perf it also clears any SMG.
also saying you can buy smg + util instead is dishonest as fuck since the average (and even the above average) player in MM will prioritize firepower over utility anytime. Most of the players go M4A1S dry over famas/mp9 + full belt even on fucking B site inferno. even at 25k premier.

To high float blue steel enjoyers, is the jump from 0.96 to 0.98+ that noticeable? I want to buy a high float knife, and see a potentially good price for one, but it's closer to 0.96, and idk if the difference is that noticeable.

>>3086726
you know you can literally check this shit yourself with the exact pattern and float

crazy how one of valves most successful games doest have enough posters to maintain a vg general

>>3086832

I tried, but it's hard to tell (I have vision impairment). I hear it's different on newer knives than with older ones (older ones possibly hitting an inkier black in the dark). I sent an offer for a knife anyway, so hopefully it is accepted considering it was at the peak of my available funds...

Doesn't a high float blue steel get this ugly crackled effect to it which high float Case Hardened also get? Why would you enjoy this specifically?

>>3085822
Famas is being used. It is seeing more use in pro play today than 2 years ago. You're a ludite and a little annoying bitch on top of it.

>>3087476
It does have a sort of crackled effect. When you go high enough, it shifts to a purple, which I personally like. I don't know about high float case hardened knives. It also looks very dark in low light conditions, and still shines reasonably well in the light. It's basically a poorfag's black pearl in a way.

>>3086122
>you need to try it if you think so, because it clears the A1S in all its strong points, and is better than the A4 in quite a few too
substantiate this because I can tell you off the bat the recovery rate and recoil are objectively worse
>it's better when spamming, against ecos/forces/rushes. holding banana or squeaky for exemple.
that's what utility is for. You aren't buying an AWP to counter rushes, you're buying it to win against full-buys.
>You can use many more positions than the awp since you don't necessarily die when you miss a shot
An AWP will always win against an auto sniper.
>the XM clears the galil, the famas and the P90.
debatable, but none the weapons in this price range are worth missing out on the utility
>also saying you can buy smg + util instead is dishonest as fuck
calling a counter-argument that completely shuts down your argument "dishonest" is literally cope. you're falling into the same trap that other retard did and you're looking at things in a vacuum. your economy matters in CS.

Thanks for the idea; actually visibly helped me see the difference. It's noticeable in some lighting when compared with even just a small float difference (say 0.02 to 0.04 variance max), but in actual practice, it is very subtle. You can see that the highlights/light parts pick up more as the float increases. I took three pictures to demonstrate this in different lighting; thought it'd be cool to share.

I think I'm content with a 0.96. I got rejected for an offer on one, but I'll try to get a similar one. I just really like this finish, and it isn't so expensive that I'm gonna feel bad about it.

>>3087992
Actually looks really fucking cool and the Kukri is a straight banger. There's a few connoisseurs on this board.
Just know though that these high floats are relatively hard to sell unless it's 0.999

Update: Got the knife! It's my first and only knife even since I played more heavily in CSGO. Just a few casual pictures from a quick Rush match I played. I didn't take a shot in brighter sun lighting, but I did see it a few times, and it's excellent just like the previous pics I posted.

I really don't know why people sleep on BS blue steels. They come alive in different environments (just see it in the rain) and have a great gradation of color. The smooth, flicky anims and scale of the kukri make it more fun too. I would like to trade my cheapshit gloves to match it better, but I have wanted one of these for over a year now. So, it's nice that I can finally enjoy it.

>>3090211
based, very nice. I've been trying out some high wear blue steel in DM and it's been serving me well.

If you have kukri make sure to have the switch hand button available for spamming, it's the best animation in the game.

Such a budget banger. I know it's very underrated even on other more 'premium' knives too. Though, since it's so dark, it helps if the blade is on the bigger side.

What would you change or add or remove in the game to make it more fun?
HARD MODE: No "ban such online thing". I'm talking about core gameplay.

>>3091225
Re-enable the comp bots (leavers) and allow dead players to control them again. Add more guns already (heard one is coming soon). Add customization options to knives (handles, strap charms, etc). Add back holiday events and/or operations. Add more vertical movement options to some staler maps to shake up the meta. Rework DZ with cooler maps and relaunch it.
