I like your plan but where is the command to choose your spawn points?

At the start of each round, you walk into zones A B C or D, and a few seconds later you're teleported to that spawn.

It's annoying because you can't buy after that, so no more 1st round Mac10's

Why do people care about smurf accounts? I guess it's aggregating to get stomped for one game, but It's an issue that resolves itself in about two weeks when they've won nearly all their matches and are moved into an appropriate level.

I make sure I throw enough games to keep my smurf account at the level I want it, so I can stomp noobs forever.

The real experience comes from being a silver and MMing with the double-AK and above goons. You learn a lot, very quickly. Goonmans have (had?) a small pool of players, so there was a limit to how much you could learn beyond the basics.

Plus (some?) goons are (were?) sensitive about their precious MM rank and will be quick to let you know how you can stop screwing up their match.

One thing I've noticed are that some of you guys are pretty good with grenade placement... is that something that came with experience or is it a matter of memorizing the right spots to throw or whatever?

Mostly the latter. But knowing how the grenade physics works is always helpful.

Google 'de_dust2 smokes', 'de_interno flashes' etc and there will always be some youtube videos which can help.

The XM1014 @ 2000$ just makes it even juicier, as you still get 900$ per kill. It really is a great money maker, and with the small boost to its spread, it is even deadlier. Remember that this is the best shotgun vs. armour, and you can very often out-duel riflers even at midrange unless they shoot your face first

Gotta see if we can get your shotgun account up to DMG now....

Shoulda just done a marketplace trade for x hundred keys, then sold the keys. Keys have a fixed value and people are much less likely to try and scam you if you're selling a few keys at a time (and if they do, you've only lost a few bucks).

Well if you're selling on the market, you don't need to worry about it because your money(steam bux) is guaranteed.

If you're looking for real money via PayPal or whatever, things get quite a bit riskier even if you are pretty careful. I'm not an expert on scam methods but there's plenty of poo poo somebody can do to make you think you have the money, so you go ahead and give them the item, and then whoops it turns out you didn't actually get the money(or you did, and it was then taken back from your balance because of a chargeback, the buyer using a stolen card, etc). So since crate keys of any kind are always the same price, you can lower your risk by trading the knife for however many keys via a steam trade. Then you're sitting on 100 things that are worth $2.50 so you can then go ahead and sell the keys to goons/friends/your porn newsgroup for paypal and if it does turn out somebody does a chargeback or whatever, you only lose out on a tiny bit of value.

What are the skill levels like in your first couple of competitive MM games? I've been playing off and on very casually since before 1.6 but never really played the straight up 5v5 matches. I played on lots of larger servers where single players didn't usually determine a whole lot. In GO casual I am normally within the top 2 or 3 overall in score if I am in the match from start to finish. I am just wondering if I should expect to roll my first game or two or if it starts you in the middle like with Novas where I might not be up to that skill level at this time.


Your first match will be against the scrublordiest scrublords in all of Scrublordian.

This is what happened when 5 of us made new accounts and played matchmaking for the fourth time:

Don't worry about getting owned. Just play your 10 wins, get your first rank, then go from there :D. If you follow the advice in the OP about proper buying (wait until you can afford armor, helmet and m4/ak), consider your crosshair placement, etc, then you should make it into the high silvers no problem.

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...

In most cases, you won't be running forward when you meet an opponent. If you are, then it's because they appeared unexpectedly and got the drop on you, so you deserve to die anyway.

Think about situations where you have to be running forwards and can get peeked. There's not that many. It mostly happens on rotates, and by then, you should have a good idea where everyone is.

I do run a lot. If someone starts screaming "B B B B B", which can mean anything from "I think I heard a foot step" to "5 with bomb", I just run to B. I should make my way there carefully and only run if Im sure it's safe, thats the real solution to my problem, yeah? gently caress all the the "omg why so slow" comments?

Use your radar, count the red diamonds, look for the bomb icon. Hold your angles. Fix your rates.

I often don't bother calling at all if I'm playing B solo, until I see bomb. The teammates can see for themselves, and I don't have anyone nearby to quickly back me up.
