I think the P90 is a pretty decent SMG. Although I would rather buy a AK or M4, I still think the P90 is good in close, small areas
lol. Pretty decent is an understatement. It's called the pro90 for a reason. Low/easy to control recoil (while running), 50 bullets, high rate of fire. Mows down armored and unarmored opponents alike.

I was much like you in your inability to pistol. That is until I went into a FFA DM server and played with only pistol and forced myself to get 100 kills with it each sitting. Now I run through pistol rounds like rambo getting headshots on everything.. it paid off huge.
now if only I had as good aim with some other guns
Mac10 and Bizon are great round 2 buys. P90 is really only for when we are crushing the other team. Galil/Famas are better and cheaper than the P90, so there's really no reason to buy one.

unless you are ranked low enough where p90 rules supreme

Haha, yes. Only because you said it, I just played a game with a friend where it was indeed a pro-90. Close combat with two enemies , have like 9 bullets left when I kill the first one and manages to kill the other with my bullets remaining.
E: And in the same game, I got like three kills as CT (map was Inferno) despite that that had plain sight close-by at me
Lol i used to lan with sLip in 1.6 on the same team. Didn't know he got that good.
Well he talked massive amounts of shit online to everyone about how they are "online" and or have shit league stats but did the worst out of everyone at the ESEA lan event, so yeah. Poor kid got what he deserved.

Eh, P90 is pretty good if you're on like, CT side and defending a choke point. I buy it when I'm too lazy to aim and I just mow down people like nothing. Trying to hit a moving target with a rifle is really hard for most people. I also auto-shotty a lot too since the same logic applies.
only time i ever p90 is after winning pistol on T side. anybody who buys p90 on gun rounds instead of a famas/galil is low ranked and that's all there is to say about that lol.

Pretty much agree, my goal vs eco rounds has always been to be the furthest possible away from the other team and shoot from afar. Close distance = you had a problem somewhere, especially as CT. P90 doesn't accomplish that a lot. It still has it's uses though.

although i can imagine that works, i would start to remove the habit and buy a different submachine gun after winning pistol rounds. the initial investment is cheaper, and you get double the money for each kill ($600 vs $300 iirc). against unarmored targets the p90 is overkill, and against armored a famas/galil would be better anyway.
at the ranks i'm playing, if the Ts win pistol round the CTs will almost always go for two straight ecos. if you buy a mac-10 and don't die on round 2 as well as get 1 kill each round you have an $1900 advantage over buying a p90. that could easily be the difference that's not forcing your team into an eco later on in the game.
the p90 has it's place though, i buy it if my team is deciding to hard rush a spot and i'm supposed to run in first.

Just watched the demo, I was more like this. I manages to get two kills and is down to 7 HP. Then I mange to get 2 sneak more sneak kills, and only the last had sight on me for a while.

Buying SMGs in competitive play after winning pistol round is risky nowadays and people have started to opt for p90s or famas/galil. Lots of teams now p250 armor 2nd round and p90/galil/famas are definitely worth it.

yes i know, and I've seen that a lot while watching pro matches, but in matchmaking below a certain rank this is very uncommon. I am master guardian and without looking into my demos i would guess that this happens perhaps 1 out of 10 times.
Silly question, what's the deal with the Esports cases? They drop random items but you need to get keys to unlock them. Are these keys only available with money or are there other means of acquiring them?
