There are quite a few open gather channels for CS:GO as far as I know (and once you find one it's not hard to find more), so start out at #ihl.go_b and go from there. | ||

Now I get 90-128+ fps.... Thank god ! That's the first time that updating a driver is like having a new graphic card to me. Cheers! Well but I do have another problem, my game will freeze randomly during game for 3 secs and I don't know why. It only happens to my counter strike games (1.6 and go). It is just everything for my pc freezes (sound and video), after 3 secs I get a time travel. Annoying when I encounter an enemy... | ||

Also saw the first player in a game that I could be 100% sure hacked, he ran much faster than others, like, gliding super quickly, and got nothing but headshots, any gun, any distance, so as we got ready to vote kick him by talking about him in the chat he went super hacker mode, and just ran to the opposing team and headshotted all of them in 10 seconds or so before we managed to kick him. Blah. Also Achievement for Safehouse is still bugged for me.. | ||

I mean, if this game doesn't work out, I can just go back to being washed up in 1.6, no big deal. The beta patches though gave me optimism in a big way, I hope they keep delivering in that regard. | ||

You usually want to save 2 rounds. First gun round for the team who loses pistol is usually the 4th, unless you can win in one of your save rounds. That way you are sure your team can buy standard rifles+armor+some nades and usually have 1 awp. It's THE standard for 99.9% of play. (Although some teams will try a surprise tactic by buying on round 3 as terros if they planted the bomb and earned the bonus for the first two rounds, which would allow them a decent buy with AKs). Couple of other things go in, like if you can manage to get 2-3 guns and save them as CT you might want to have your teammates light buy on rd 3, etc... but these will come by themselves with knowledge of the game after youve played a couple hundred hours (thousands in some cases! played 1.6 for 12 yrs and still learn shit on occasion!) | ||

If you're easily offended, or not "internet hardened" or still think pubs are fun, then maybe it's not for you.... yet! :D Visiting the ESEA forums makes you realize how awesome TL.net is and how crucial the harsh moderation on here is to fostering a content-centric forum. ESEA forums are basically 4chan's /b/ v2.0 It's completely infested with raging trolls who will turn every thread into a shit fest, something the ESEA owner actually encourages (he himself trolls people and talks smack). Also, even though it's pay2use, don't expect any kind of support. Most case of account problems are easier solved by making a new account and paying again. BUT, it's the only solid place to consistently get scrims and their anti-cheat has basically turned 1.6 into a cheat-free environment (which makes me assume that it will be the same for CSGO). | ||

Never feel like it is the game's fault, and I still feel that way some games in CS:GO. Don't know if it really is just really weird spray patterns or not, but it is frustrating. For the first few shots there's definitely a difference, but it's backwards from what most people claim. In CSS, random spread is relatively dominant for the first few shots, while in CSGO, the recoil pattern is dominant. What that means is that in CSGO you should aim low (or drag down) when bursting, not just spraying, as against CSS where you can aim direct and hope. Similarly, in CSS you're much more likely to get burst hits when your aim is off the target. Not sure about overall recoil magnitude. I need screenshots for that. Maybe later. No idea about hit registration, but the hitboxes are a lot smaller relative to the models in CSGO. That's going to increase the cases where it looks like you hit but it doesn't register, which will always happen to a degree with a lag-compensated game.

Blah. It should be easy for them to detect blatant hacks by heuristics, but they've probably neglected that along with the matchmaking code. Game should still be in beta. | ||

It's not exactly a gentleman's sport, with starcraft manners. It's about ego and winning for a lot of people.  Sad, but true.Only thing you can really do is be nice and hope to get respect in return. I'd say 70% of my scrims the people have shitty senses of humour and talk shit. I just say "GLHF" and "GG" and let the score do the rest of the talking. Edit: Meh gonna stream some scrims. Come say hi if you're bored~ | ||

In source, with good reflexes and drag down, I could easily make all 3 shots of my burst hit with my AK by quickly crouching and slightly dragging down, and usually hitting the 4th shot of that burst as well. At mid range, I could aim for the upper chest and get an HS on the second shot of the 2 shot burst when standing still. All of this has greatly changed in GO, where I quickly notice the second shot is significantly higher, something like the 4th-5th shot of a crouched AK burst in Source. It's pretty different, and I'm pretty much relying on my ability to HS on the first shot now. That being said, I think the Colt recoil and burst pattern is MUCH improved versus its Source counterpart. In source, I remember getting endlessly frustrated at how crappy the Colt was at mid range cuz you could only really hit 4 shots max (only dealing 88 dmg), and even that's pretty good -- and getting a HS on the third shot is practically impossible given how random and signifcant the recoil was. But now in GO, the recoil/burst is sooooo much more controlled, it's almost like a machine gun with the first 5-6 shots, it just feels so stable. I guess the TL;DR is that AK was nerfed and Colt boosted ... which was probably warranted given how much better the AK was vs the Colt in Source, in my opinion WAT. The M4 was pretty much always better in Source. I used to play it competitively at a pretty high level, and although there were a couple of players who preferred the ak, probably 80-90% of high level Source players would swap out their aks for M4s whenever possible. The ak had the one-shot headshot, but the M4s spray pattern was much much tighter and easier to control. | ||

I used to swap to the M4 on many maps just for that, but I guess it's hard to flank good players. | ||
