so is there a way to trade/forfeit missions or am I really going to have to win a game on insertion to get that mission slot back

I've lost like 4 games on it so far and I am just beyond done with that loving terrible pile of garbage.

Insertion owns, but it requires a much different play style than most cs_ maps, or counter-strike maps for that matter. Some advice:

1. Decoys and silenced weapons are god
2. Radar is your friend
3. Terrorists are better off leaving the hostages and moving to the perimeter of the map, defending 360 degrees is a lesson in futility
4. Queue with some friends

You can't, really. Just ignore them, because they're fishing. You're going to want to have a real value and a surface value, basically the surface value is what you put out there, higher than what you think you're going to get for it. That's how you deal with those people's baseless offers of 'How much do you want for it in romanian dollars'.

The animations on that thing are pretty goddamn cool. That's going to keep the value up a bit. Also it's really new, so the value would only come down, simply because it's the only knife you can get out of the cases that are dropping in the new operation. That will make it a little more common than any other single knife, barring the Huntsman knife. It'll be valued more than the Huntsman knife just off the animations alone, but even still.

So, the argument against insertion is that it is vastly different from traditional CS. But is a step to the unknown bad? I mean, people whining that Insertion, and Mist to an extent, should have been more traditional miss the point that the old maps are still there?

Why are so many implying that new map packs should just increase the amount of numerical de_dusts?

I loving love Insertion and Mist.

There were some awesome games where our 5 goon party used autosnipers and negevs to riddle all the houses with bullets since the enemy loved sitting inside so much.

Keys aren't reversible and spread your risk. There's a chance that with paypal or wallet you'll get scammed and be left with nothing. There's still that chance with keys but at any time you're taking a much smaller hit.

I've only had two missions since the first day, no more seem to be dropping after finishing them. Managed to derank twice solo queuing for that comp win on castle.

insertion is fun on t-side because you spawn in the only cover in the entire map.

i feel like on ct side the only way you can reach villa/barn is to travel by the shoreline because its usually a lower altitude for the rest of the map.

also, the fog doesn't help when t's have 5 awps :(

It'd be really great if Valve put a bunch of time into adding new gamemodes like hack the briefcase from Perfect Dark or whatever. Lord knows they've made enough money off the game at this point to justify it.

It's disappointing that the cp_ api they added a year or so ago has gone largely ignored. I think it could have worked if the map were built around the concept instead of being strong-armed into an existing de_ map.

Why hasn't cpl fire been remade like mill/strike have been? That was my favorite cpl map :( I know I am probably the minority in that. Or has it been re-made and I am blind or have never played it yet?

There is a direct from CS:S port of cpl_fire. It gets played in goonmans occasionally but it's not a great port since the map isn't scaled properly for CS:GO. But yeah fire is one of my personal favorite maps and it sucks that there isn't a better port out there.

Been lurking this thread for a while, but I believe that your best bet is to go to r/GlobalOffensiveTrade on reddit, and post a thread. There's usually many more trustworthy traders there. If someone shows interest, their flairs will have their profile links that you can then use to check their trading reputation on websites like SteamRep. I've bought keys and traded stuff via this method, and I've never encountered a single scammer to this date. I can't say the same thing about CSGOLounge. Of course, there's still that risk of a reputed trader going rogue, and I'm not really sure how to resolve that situation if I was in your shoes and actually went through that.

And then there's the hassle of actually having to use reddit and get approved to post in said subreddit.

Funny, I've had the same experience. Queued with a friend who was unranked but somewhat decent. He got MGE, I got MG2, we have both dropped one down since then. Myself, just recently getting back into CSGO after watching the recent NiP vs Navi Dreamhack finals. I've played 1.6 and Source a bit back in the day but never knew what I was doing. This time around I used advice from the OP and watched some of Adren's videos. Played mostly DM to get used to guns and peeking spots properly and did all placement on Dust2. I was fully expecting to be put in upper silver or lower nova ranks, since I feel that my game sense and clutch are pretty garbage and I get by mostly on aim. From playing in the MG bracket I find that people are mostly unhelpful while being demanding of you to perform well. I'd like to play with goons cause MM is basically cancer and I'm hardly learning anything by playing it. I'm bleakill on steam, invite me to the group and yell at me, or something.

Edit: premade/solo? wins/loses. First cs game?
161 hours of CS:GO played, most of them in deathmatch some time ago so I again shoot like poo poo, especially after having switched to lower sensitivity (400 dpi, 2.35 sens with 0.75 zoom sens) last week. 1 solo win, a few solo losses, other 9 wins with friends (ranked from Master Guardian II to Distinguished Master Guardian) - playing with 1 to 3 friends, never full stack. Mostly de_dust2, a bit of de_nuke and a few Operation Breakout maps. I'd estimate my placement win rate at 40% maximum, since the most recent loss streak was 9 matches long. First game was CS 1.5 somewhere around 2002 or 2003. Not played much of 1.6 initially, played plenty of CS:S, then not played a lot and had some CS 1.6 4 years ago. Next time I played I played CS:GO after it released. Played a bit, got bored, came back half a year ago or so, played plentiful of deathmatch, got bored again and then my friends got me into playing CS:GO with them, on previous week.

Edit: Wording.
