CS Elo is complicated. You can win every game for a week and not rank up if your score is always bad or if the game thinks your fundamentals are that off (and yes, it can calculate these things based on shots missed and such). It's also largely dependent on the strength of your opponents. If at the end of a match you look at the ranks for everyone and it seems like you were chosen by the matchmaker to lose and you won, you'll more quickly rank up. I've gone from DMG to LE in 3 games and I've done it in 100. Playing with good people only helps a bit, you can't be dragged into a good rank too much, though I have a friend who would argue against that.

For the record, I 100% believe everything you just said, because merk and my scores weren't significantly different in the games we just played before I got a rank back. The game just thought I'm the better player based on FPS fundamentals, I suppose.

There's a dude in SAMart that will give you a healthy discount on CS:GO if you ask. I got CS:GO for $8 from him when it was $11.50. I assume he can give it to you for $5 or something.

This is his thread.

I will buy it for both of you. Whenever you have the money to pay it back give it to your favorite charity instead. Or buy more games. Whichever.

I am not trying to be funny, I swear, but you'd probably not be too far away from where merk is if you started learning how to keyboard/mouse. I've only ever known a single person who could do well on PC games with a controller, and I doubt you want to test out whether you're the one in a million or not.

Asiina and Chic, I grabbed your copies but my inventory page is wonky and won't let me access it right now. When it stops being temperamental I'll forward them.

I hate K+M controls and always have for any game. I'm a console gamer to the end despite mostly having given up consoles. :/

I use a controller to play Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, and Bethesda games. Using one to play FPS games is putting yourself at an insane disadvantage unless your thumb reflexes and control are so insanely on point that your slightly shaky hand can't match it.

You were one of the best at mastering a handicap. MLG console gamers would get crushed by mediocre PC gamers because the mouse is so very much better at aiming. What I'm trying to say is, perhaps you should try KB+M again and see if you hate it less since it's good stuff.

I use whichever control scheme works best for that particular game. Anything with a shooting machanic will inevitably be worse with a controller than a mouse. Some games also have complicated schemes best fit for controllers though like Brothers or the AssCreed games.

The worst is GTA which on foot is better with a keyboard and mouse, but in a car better with a controller.

I was doing okay but then I was guarding a dropped bomb and someone threw a smoke grenade and I got kicked because of it? CS is silly.

So I'm not gonna launch until tomorrow night. I have more invites out, so if we get a sufficient number of additions, I can tweak the setup to accommodate. Otherwise, make sure ya'll have time to still play this (the game opened a while back so I understand if you don't!) and I'll send PMs out tomorrow night. Hurt, if nobody else signs up (unlikely) and nobody decides "nah..", then I have to put ya on the replacement list.

Okay, guys! I'm all done writing up the flavor stuff, so we're ready to launch later tonight. Expect PMs around 7-8pm EST unless we get some signups and can expand it.
