i had a blast in the approx 6.4 grillion hours i played 1.6 but my regret is having most of that time be 12v12 not realizing how fun 5v5 is.

one thing i dont regret is kz. always be kzing

Oh that reminds me. Regarding strafe jumping in the last thread. You mentioned adjusting my sensitivity. Is that generally an adjustment toward higher sensitivity for KZ maps?

And does anyone else get annoyed when your solo queue MM game turns into open-mic night for unfunny idiots? "I licked my grandma's pussy while fingering my dog." Thanks, you snowflake, maybe stick to calling out things in the game.

I think it's because I'm not drunk enough to deal with that sort of poo poo. But maybe it's because I'm so drunk that I'm just not in the mood to listen to it.

Did they remove rank requirements for Competitive? I just ran into a rank 1 smurf who absolutely wrecked house. I thought you need like rank 3 or 5 to do that?

You can "prestige" now like in CoD. It resets your level and gives you a shiny medal to display. Of course, doing so does not again prohibit you from MM until level 3, that restriction is just for the first timers.

That person was level 40 at least once before.

Every update seems to break my config file for messing around on a single player server.

What is the best config to use for practicing on various maps alone?

I ran 70-80 frames on average at, like, 10 ping. I feel like my framerate is one of the reasons why I have trouble, but I also have really lovely reaction time and hand-eye coordination. I cannot trace a moving target to save my life, nor aim at a head from a distance more than, say, d2 b window to tunnels exit. I've tried forcing myself, but even then my body just works against me. 'Tis the life I lead.

Try mixing up your posture and wrist anchoring technique. I've switched between mostly wrist movements, to resting my whole arm on the desk and pivoting mostly off my elbow, to letting my arm hang off the edge of the desk sitting more forward facing but still using my elbow as the pivot. Every time I mix it up, I am able to increase mouse sensitivity a bit which helps overall aiming and movement a lot. I started playing with really REALLY low sens, like a 22in 360. I've worked my way back up to around an 18in 360 by just changing my posture and practicing.

The thing I struggle with is being primed to fire. In DM or 1v1 servers, I'm running around looking for the shot. In MM I'm holding angles and focusing on my placement along with the team's, and I'm often caught off guard when I need to shoot. I even get that way when clearing corners too quickly. I'll look right over a guy and start moving to the next spot and go "oh poo poo," before trying to correct back and getting owned. That might come down to poor reflexes overall, I dunno.

I just did pretty poorly in a silver game. I mean, we stomped them because they started trolling and just camping their own spawn.

But, my buddies felt like going after them and I just kept watching the sites. Whatever, I don't have the energy for that stupid poo poo. I didn't get a kill after the 9th round or so.

That video shows exactly what my Deathadder does all the time. Except mine usually snaps up instead of down, maybe because I play reverse.

Technically there is a noticible difference between high and DPI, below video explains it fairly well. It probably isn't going to make much if any difference to actual gameplay though.

LOL. This video starts off with an annotation that tells you to "Click here for the video without all the useless info and annotations." Link leads to a video that's 2 minutes longer.

Gotta hand it to them, they know how to get people like me to watch their video for exactly 5 seconds before closing the window!

It just selects it for use. You still throw them normally.

Those binds are useful because, due to the game's coding, it is faster to switch to a new grenade after throwing one, by first switching to another weapon THEN switching to your newly desired grenade.

This technique allows you to throw multiple grenades quickly. Like when you want to quickly toss two flashbangs.

Selecting one grenade the first time is just as fast without this bind.

The Ferret King
Nov 23, 2003

Yeah. And like someone else said, you can use the "last weapon" shortcut bind for this with some success I think... But, I long ago disabled my bind for that because I would occasionally switch to something I didn't want not realizing it was my last used weapon.

its something on twitch's end with the chat, you have to watch in the popout player and it goes away

That made a huge difference, thanks. I even had to close the main window as well after popping it out. It was causing text input lag as I was typing here and in other browser windows.

I haven't played since Bravo. Competitive scorecards are gone now?

I bought the current operation and I have scorecards.

You purchased the operation and you don't have scorecards?

Main menu. Click the links on the left side for the missions. Then just page left/right to see the scorecard.

They used to have an icon just for the scorecard but I guess that's either gone or it has been moved. Either way, if you haven't purchased the current operation, I don't think you get a scorecard.

don't know about your experience but i play at smfc/global rank and esea and have been having similar problems progressing until recently. what helped most was forcing myself to check and hold angles better - put the effort into getting your crosshair where it needs to be at any angle an enemy could be all the time in dm, aim maps and comp and your aim will improve drastically as your mouse will begin feel a lot less foreign to you. you probably think you do this well but in my case i tend to zone out, choke when people actually peek corners, half-heartedly check poo poo and get shot in the back etc

This also means to significantly slow down, at first, correct? I'm realizing I'm over peeking and missing corners because I'm trying to rush through the motions instead of really clearing angles.
