This. My k/d is terrible (obviously not every game, but overall), but as long as my team is winning and I'm protecting bomb/disarming/throwing proper nades/smokes/fashes/moving with team/not rushing in to die right away/whatever else the team requires I feel im doing alright. I jsut avoid putting myself into a postion of being like team awper or something when I know there are people who will do it much better than I.

Just have fun with it. No one really notices if you do well or do horribly. You just think they do.

Having fun regardless of score --> you play more --> you get better faster

Also, use whatever gun you want. But play to its strengths. For instance, if you just want to use the Deagle + grenades for a few days, learn how to force CQB fights. Learn how the physics of the grenades work. Yes, even the decoy grenade. It has its uses.

Just experiment. Have fun. You'll get better without even noticing the time go by. At least that's what works for me.

In casual, if I have bots on my team, I rush and die as fast as possible, so I can play as the bot as well...

I'm not too bad, so I usually kill 1 or 2 people first.

From a newbie prescriptive, is GO much more straight forward to dive into? I mean I'm familiar with FPSs, just not THAT good with them. When it comes to something as competitive as CS, its well, intimidating to start.


It's easy to learn, hard to master. The best kind of FPS. I would say go for it, now is a good time to get into it considering it just launched.

Alright, so evidently I suck balls. Dunno how, dunno why, but I suck balls despite my positive K/D and whenever I ask why I suck balls, they don't answer. And no, this is not me misinterpreting some douchebag's taunt as an actual opinion on my level of play.
So what am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to move while shooting? Am I supposed to crouch? How often should I crouch move? Are there weapons that you go for body shots with at certain ranges? Am I supposed to play defensively, or aggressively? When do I go full-auto? How much shots should I fire when I'm bursting in order to maintain accuracy?
What separates this game from SC2 in terms of learning is that I have no fucking idea what I'm doing wrong, and have no way to tell unless someone who knows tells me.


Start with the AK or M4. Learn 3 shot bursts for long and medium distances, and spray when close. If you feel you simply just don't understand how to spray in this game, well you aren't alone on that. Many people are having trouble learning how to spray effectively including seasoned professionals.

Also, this may sound obvious but always go for the headshot.

Oh yes, you want to stand still when bursting from a distance. It's common to stop, fire off a burst, then move a bit to dodge, then fire another burst. It's situational of course, but in general it's usually a good idea to stand still when fire.


That part about always going for the headshot was actually not obvious at all. Many weapons have crazy spread or high enough single-shot damage to where the accuracy and speed of going for body shots seems superior to headshots. That said, most of the weapons with those traits I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole in any match that isn't arms race. Not all, though. Sawed off shotgun would be a good example of a weapon that I usually go for body shots with and would use in a real match.

Since your opponents stay dead, I would assume that killing people is half the game.

So reading through posts in this thread, it seems like the verdict is to not purchase a ESEA subscription? I'd love to do scrims and stuff, but I'm not sure how good the "competitive" mode is going to be as they work on it.

Unless you are already playing at a high level I don't see the reason to. If you don't have a team and aren't completely dominating the pubs in classic competitive, seems kinda pointless to pay for something you can get for free built into the game.

Plus let's not forget since it's launch day officially, a lot of people will be playing just to try the mode out, I think you'll see the quick find competitive games get much better once the initial rush of playing and trying everything out settles down. Alternatively, I'm sure you can find a community pub that plays competitive mode in the server list that has some good competition.
Without a community, we're all just a bunch of geeks.

I've had this a few times. Join randomly in the middle (score like 6 to 6 or some shit) and have to buy a deagle since you get no money on first spawn even midway through the game. Own them and then your team kicks you and won't say why. Pretty fucking retarded.

So far I've only played competetive 5on5s and on deathmatch servers, and with the right settings this is really fun. I've been playing source on 800x600 resolution for years, and tried going over to my native res in GO, sucked balls. Switched back to 8x6 and the game feels so much better, but that's all preferance and habit I guess.

Just got home from work, skimmed last few pages.
A word of advice: Try the game out, really. Stop comparing it directly with CSS or 1.6. Stop making nostalgic blanket comments about balance and what you think the game should be. Pretty much anyone that's actually played the full duration of the beta, like myself, has seen how terrible the game really was, and how much its obviously improved.
I play competitively, there's SOME bullshit things about the game I'm not going to in depth with, but considering that the game is in an infantile state and it's competitively viable, it's strong.
Obviously it's not a finished product. Obviously there will be more positive changes.
EVERY PATCH SO FAR HAS BEEN GREAT. And that was just the beta.

Agreed. At least CS:S and 1.6 are still there. If you strongly prefer either of them, then just go play that. At least you don't have to go through what the 1.5 players went through when the WON servers were shut down for good.

Wish I was good enough to brag. It's more or less about idiotic people playing the game and kicking for whatever reason. I had another team kick me because they wanted a bot so they could take control after they died and still play.

It was funny, I was 6-0, then got blindsided while covering the server admin, he kicked me immediately for being a dumbass...

the demolition mode maps are surprisingly fun (maybe because they're not dust)
