Do any of the dynamic crosshair styles open up when you move but not when you shoot? I think that would be helpful for idiots like me who let of the first shot before they're completely stopped sometimes.

Mine almost does. It moves a lot when you're moving and slightly when you shoot but I aim with the dot anyway. I'll paste the config when I get home. Remind me...

Someone called me out for rubbing everyone's face in the dirt with an awp. So I bought a scout and continued as normal :smug:

Are there custom maps that just have bots running around the map which respawn on death and repeat their routes? I just want something to work on my aim without having to get people to help me out.

I mean I guess I could play deathmatch with bots but was looking for something more structured where the bots use routes that are pretty common in match play.

I don't quite know what the hell has happened, but it seems like in the past couple of weeks my skill has gotten far better and given me quite a bit more confidence in my overall gameplay. I was beginning to wonder if subscribing to ESEA would be a good idea since that seems to be where the largest influx of the best players are and I would like to continue getting better.

I know of altpug, which is free, as well as one other service that I can't remember at the moment, but I was just curious about ESEA the most

GO is an interesting game because as much as I want to stop playing this game, I just can't stop playing this loving game.

How can I stop? The game just gifted me a 4K round and now I feel like a skilled player again.

Nothing like finishing a casual game with a 5:1 ratio when you do literally nothing but rush ramp with an auto shotty on Nuke every round (had a mission to get heavy kills in casual).

I think I saw Iron Doge in one of my games too, reminded me that I haven't played a goonman in ages (because I'm bad).

Yeah, playing casual for missions is really nice for just mindlessly ripping through people even though I get stomped in MM and Goonmans. I think it's actually improving my game a bit as well, as far as keeping cool under fire and recoil control.

1. Download bot.cfg here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19406281/bot.rar
2. Place bot.cfg in \Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg
3. Download aim_map here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122443683
4. Start an offline game with bots, set to harmless.
5. Open console and type changelevel aim_map
6. Open console and type exec bot.cfg

If you want to play as T, use bot_add_ct until other team is full.
If you want to play as CT, use bot_add_t until other team is full.

Shoot at bots.

No problem. I would also recommend adding -tickrate 128 to your launch options, that way your offline games are on 128 instead of 64 tickrate.

Does anyone remember if/when guns on the ground persisted from round to round? I swear that was a thing in early CS but it sounds so stupid. I remember 'gun running' weapons back to spawns but I might be mistaken.

That was removed in beta 4 or maybe beta 5. Still during 1999 anyway. Incidentally, I remember that bomb defusal mode (and maps like dust and nuke) was added in the same patch - hostage rescue was the only game mode before that. :v:

I am an MGE, but I hate MM. I usually just goonman and death match. I played from around 2000 through 2005 then called it quits and picked the game back up when GO was released. I don't get very much time to play these days, but I feel like I am regaining a modicum of skill and gamesense back when I played in CAL and the CPL.

I don't expect to get back to where I once was when I was a virgin teen tryhard, but it feels good to do the rolling rather than being rolled for a change these days.
