I found a group that does 10 mans and the games I've played with them were awesome. They're all very high ranked guys but they were very chill and called some detailed strats which were fun to execute. I especially enjoyed the part where one of my teammates went "he's in palace and a pretty good awper so let me go first and you can get the trade" so we coordinated our push into palace and I got the trade. So so so much better than MM where the only strat anyone has ever called was "let's just rush all together."

This right here is why I stopped caring all that much, won some tournaments in another FPS, came to CS and did some middling stuff, local chicago LANs etc, but god drat the amount of effort you put in makes you hate the game (not quite true, but pretty drat close) But seriously, who cares, have fun doing whatever, you paid money to have fun(bought the game), do whatever you want to have that fun.

Getting poo poo on can help you get better. But ya know what helps even more. Playing with good players who help you make decisions tell you when/why to do something when watching kill cam. Take Spiros for example. I'm sure he hates me because I'm an idiot when it comes to this game. But I at least try to listen to him when he was coaching our team or is on our team. Even if he does make fun of me and hurts the feels  But, he's taking the time to tell me why I'm an idot when he's not saying that I don't know what the gently caress I'm doing. Which is mostly true. I WAS WATCHING CONNECTOR GODDAMMIT!On the other hand I feel really appreciative to good vibes Ixtlilton. I feel he wants me to get better. I feel bad when I play like poo poo but he for the most part puts up with it and says next time X. Learn smoke Y so we can do Z. Point being. Getting poo poo on takes 10x longer to get better then practicing and being coached.

I've been trying different pistol round buys lately. what do people think of p250, smoke, flash? If your team is buying armor, should you do the same or get a gun and/or nades to mix things up, and vice versa?

ArmZ posted:I've been trying different pistol round buys lately. what do people think of p250, smoke, flash? If your team is buying armor, should you do the same or get a gun and/or nades to mix things up, and vice versa? Depends on what side you are on, what site you are holding, what map it is... That buy is pretty decent if you are holding a close angle on CT side, especially since T's will usually be buying armor. Though, glocks are really inaccurate and picking them off from a distance, when possible, with a USP is optimal. On T side it depends on your team. If you are coordinated I like the raid boss setup, one guy buys armor and is given a tec9, one or two buys smokes and flash, rest buy armor only. If not, I usually just buy armor, since the glock is a garbage gun and you have to be close up. henne posted:Ct: kit+p250 I hate aimpunch so much, but considering the rounds I've lost lately where we killed T's but didn't get the bomb, I need to start sucking it up and doing this buy.

Ct: kit+p250 or Kevlar T: Kevlar or smoke+2 flashes I only get grenades t side if we have a plan as a team, ct buy depends more on where I'm playing than anything else. Long range = Kevlar to fight aim punch from glocks.
