If map makers didn't take such joy in including as many corners, cubby-holes and obstructions, every new map would be received much more easily. I'd sooner see a new map with too little cover than too much, letting players get used to the layout in general without having to worry about a million angles.

Running into B on Valve's cbble is honestly some sort of joke. A CT could be in about 8 different spots before I even turn to the right.

Having lots of corners does not make a map complicated and fyi for you and kcer like half of those terrible corners in B aren't even accessible to the cts if the Terrorists move in an orderly fashion.

Even if the terrorists rush the CTs can still beat them to the platform, and that's before smokes and flashes. It's largely a moot point anyway because even without getting to the platform, you have the cover of that huge wall and the fountain to get into the back of the site, not to mention the numerous spots to use to the right of the door.

It's in a much better way than it was when it came out, though, mostly thanks to that window that drops you into connector.

And again, it's all irrelevant because the two really-new-never-used-before maps are 100% in control of *either team* to ban out if they don't want to practice them. There is literally nothing to make anybody actually play Cobblestone & Overpass.

I was thinking about this earlier and I think if I were in those team I'd probs still ban the best map of whoever I'm playing and take a chance on the 3rd map lottery.

Why don't people just go to Captain Invictus for real money trades? Does he not do those anymore? Or are you really that stingy enough that you abhor the thought of him taking a 15% cut?

Isn't the steam marketplace 15%. Who's this guy to want 15% too?

I know I wouldn't give someone a 15% cut. There are other better ways to make sure you don't get scammed.

What key specifically are you guys talking about buying as a way to not get hosed when trading?

I'd assume it's any key that valve sell, so long as their total meets what your price is.

The key is just a placeholder, if you like. It represents the money that otherwise can't be put into the trade. At least that's my understanding.

e: \/ sticker keys are £0.99 or something.

I mean it seems like you could buy ten of whatever is just under the top tier of rarity and roll for a super expensive skin. Is it just the knives that go for a ton in that top rarity class? I guess that must be the case or everyone would be doing it.

I'm not sure what it's like since they changed it, but when the contract was locked to map collections, what you'd see is that the skin above was worth 10 of the skin below.

I want to say there's probably a chance to make some steam bucks since they unlocked all the collections, but knowing the marketplace, I doubt it.

Increasing colour saturation makes models stands out more and absolutely will garner better results. What the gently caress is wrong with some of you? I swear you just deliberately pick the wrong answer so you can argue with people.

Weird question: where do you guys look on your monitor? During my latest losing spree I caught myself not even looking at my crosshair but focused on my destination and path as if I was driving a car. I paid a bit more attention to the crosshair and trying to match it to enemy heads and suddenly I was reliably making shots again. It just got me wondering.

I thought about it a lot a while back, came to the same conclusion as you. My overall solution was just to make my crosshair stand out more, making it harder to gloss over it while I'm aiming.

A decent portion of it is crosshair placement though. If you're running around looking at the floor it's not going to matter how much you focus on your crosshair.

CZ solution isn't very good. Outside of pistol round you never see anyone buy a 5-7, and no one ever buys a tec-9 (except Lou). A price increase of 200 isn't restrictive at all.

At least when you replaced the P250 you were denying the use of a genuinely good gun. Not that the 5-7 isn't good but it's never going to be picked over a P250 anyway.

I'm always a little bit off and I feel that this is my weakest thing. After watching this demonstration where I'm always just a little bit off each time... is it really still a sensitivity issue? Or am I just poo poo at this game.

No the headshot setting is just hard, especially if you don't have nospread on. Try 10R and lower the time targets are on screen.

Here's another demonstration: http://a.pomf.se/dvdehs.webm (removed audio to make filesize lighter)

Looks fine to me. Keep practising.

You're never, ever going to able to consistently snap directly onto a guy's head no matter how much you practise, so imo it's better to work at reducing your reaction time and getting the muscle memory down for that size (10R) of target.

Try and track down your sensitivity and dpi and work it towards 2ish and 400dpi.

fe: muscle memory is lovely term and I hate using it

e: try with "weapon_accuracy_nospread 1" in console. Sometimes you'll be on a target but the weapon inaccuracy can make your shot miss.
