i bought it for 4,30 and sold a case some time later for 2,80€. its not expensive imo. we got a lot of stuff.
i like overgrown and mist. played them in some matches and its realy fun and not like the standard ones.
the others are pure funmaps. and they make a lot of fun. BUT black gold is the worst map ever since incineration zone. so many details anfd stuff. you cant see shit and its sniperheaven
Black gold is insanely bad. There are sooooo many ways to go around the map you never ever know where to look at.

Is it possible ?
You can.
Does the other team declare forfeit automaticly if you do that calling you a hackergod ?

Hit somebody in the head with a frag to kill them and then the nade explodes and kills somebody else would be pretty badass.
I think I saw someone die to a nade that hit them once but It was a friendly kill on someone that had been hurt for 99 by the other team. I don't remember what the kill icon was though... I don't know enough console commands to be able to test that on my own but I'm sure someone else will.
Okay I will be trying out the new maps one by one. Started with Castle and it's the worst map I've ever played on. Unbelievable and unplayable. And I'm not opposed to new maps at all, I love fresh blood, I'm a mapper myself but this is the worst map you could ever imagine. It's called Castle but it really should've been called Caves. It's a huge cave system that has tons of little corners, is SUPER dark and has a bunch of spots where players can glitch up to the ceiling almost. You can never make out enemies anywhere, there's NO WAY people can come up with useful callouts because it all looks the same.
Unbelievable.
I will share my thoughts on the other maps in a bit.
EDIT: Also, the bombspots are RIDICULOUSLY far away. Completely broken.
Rush is pretty cool although I think it's fairly T-sided. River and "mid" (the central hill/break in the wall) are quite easy to cover from a variety of very safe windows with looooong sight lines, and the hillside is a clusterfuck that T's kinda get to first and have better crossfire setups plus T's don't have to push through it. It's possible I just don't know enough good smokes/flashes to push through but it feels very defensible. The houses are WILDLY bangable though, so there is that.
Mist seems solid actually, although CT's get everywhere first and with everything being a narrow choke point I think that map is like 80% nades. I think it gets better for CT once you figure out callouts though lol, which I haven't yet.
They should use the Flash Kill icon in Source. in source, the kill would literally be like 50% of your screen cause it was a flash nade kill, that shit was awesome
Castle would be okay, if the map was not so fucking dark. Insertion is not competitive but really fun, plus, it just gave me my eagle master rank :D Black Gold is fucking awful.

I don't understand this whole case thing. How are the drops affected, is it random? Premium? Performance?
Well there are normal Cases and Operation Cases. You only can get Operation cases if you bought the Operation pass. Its pretty random when you get a drop at all. And there is a maximum number of drops you can get.
So yes its random/premium for operation cases and random for other stuff
Playng with the changed pistols. Cz75 is pretty much the same; if there is a difference it is barely worth noting. I guess if you use it like a p250, it is slightly less accurate, but then again, why would you? Tec9 feels just as inaccurate as before, except when you are moving, in which case fun times ahead with a 30 round armour piercing pistol which is about as accurate as the starting pistols on the move. Don't see anybody buying this in the pistol round though. As for the deagle, it was accurate before, and now it feels as accurate as the AWP lol. They might have gone a little too far with the deagle buff.

I'm pretty sure I got an Operation Phoenix case before I had the pass and I read back than that the pass holders just had a higher chance. The wording on this Operation's news website though would indicate that you're correct and only Operation pass people can get the case to drop.
Overall you get usually 4 drops per week (usually 2 skins, 2 cases). Maybe an Operation pass also has an effect on that (since I got my 5th drop (Breakout case) before the drop system resets in ~4 hours. You can also probably get a 5th normal drop, but I personally never played enough in a week to get it. Using idle servers I get my 4 drops usually within 6-8hours.
