A mic is REQUIRED to be a decent teammate. If not, you are a shitty teammate. there is no grey area unfortunately.
This is fucking true, huge difference between teammates let you know what they see and so on.
Sometimes I have those soloq games where people listen to/make calls and I get entry frags and we win, and other games I just miss everything and then I have a silver teammate who is still T spawn :x
I'm working on not being so frustrated when silly things happen.

When it does and there really is no hope of winning because of the tard(s), i like to grief them to the point they get so angry they get themselves banned. For example, acting as a meat shield for an enemy while he tries to shoot him, diving in front of a nade he throws, generally blocking & mocking. This made some guy so angry he just threw a nade into the group on the last round and got a 7 day ban, im not sure what went through his head, but it was fucking hillarious, 30 seconds more and the game would have been over, but nope.

I havent seen an AFK'er like that in probably 20-30 games if not more.
The mysterious AFKers that play the entire game out. Sounds legit.
can someone explain to me how crates drop on operation
i got 1 mission on the first day (so h ave completed 2 total) had about 30 games since with no drops at all.
Been playing some competative, mainly dm and casual to get to know the maps (100 towards cas/dm)
is this wrong?
As fr the teamplay thing .. its liek dota, keep everyone cool adn talking you do well (assuming you can actually hit shit). If you cant hit shit then well u lose teamwork doesn't matter.
Thsi game is like 80% aim,positioning adn map awareness. You only need teamwork when you are against 5 peopel who play together a lot.
Maybe I should start playing GO in a serious way. I usually just play against bots/with friends against friends/alone against friends, since I just enjoy the reflex and aim-part of CS:GO. I am one of that annyoing 1.6-smeagols that cry themself to sleep about the filthy gaben hobbit that stole our precious 1.6 . So I usually play GO just for aim/reflexes and skins(so I can sell them). With the operation breakthough-contracts, I decided to play de_mist so I can fullfill the contract that requieres me to win a comp match on that map. Hopes werent high, as soon as the game started. Our team:
1 spanish guy(at least the nametag was some spanish stuff), propably no mic/couldnt speak englisch/didnt want to talk because of the 2 germans that where constantly complaining in german 2 germans who where really low and spend almost the whole game complaining about the map - me, who never played regular 5on5 in GO. I played a ton of 1.6 on a very high level, but that didnt help that much. never played de_mist - my little brother, who almost exclusively plays source. never played de_mist / almost never played GO without me.
our enemys: a 4 man stack from one clan plus someone that might be random/might be from the same clan, most of them with anime pictures(not related to skill at all, but since I despise that stuff)
we started on CT and got initially wrecked by not knowing the map and nicely koordinated pushes by the T's. They usually attacked B from multiple sides at once. Soon they started taunting us, score was quickly 6:0 for the T's, the 2 other germans on or team proceed to idle at spawn / camp on the big red tower (from where they even got some kills, since the T's apparently where to stupid to spot 2 guys on a goddamn huge tower). The spanish guy played competent from the start, but was unable to carry us 4. As the score came closer to 9:0 for the T's, me and my brother started to figure out the map and the relative simple pushes from the T's, while the other 2 germans proceed to flame the map via voicechat and the enemys via chat (which both highly annoyed the rest of us). Until 9:0, the situation seemed unwinable, since we effectively played 5 vs 2 and 1, BUT my brother and I finally figured out the map, so mr spanish wasnt the only competent person anymore. First half ended 9:6, after crushing us 9 rounds in a row, the T's where unable to get any more rounds. Our 2 germans still made no effort to win, but at least they stopped complaining. While there wherent any really awesome moves, we managed to beat the other team 16:11, they got the pistol as CT and got one round when we where up 14:10. I should also note that the ping of my brother jumped between 40 and 360 during the last 6 rounds, so he had a hard time playing.
So the recap: A stack of 4 clanmembers + possibly a 5th, who clearly knowed the map and even had strategys prepared was unable to beat a team of 2 guys that where afk/trolling all the time, a spanish guy that was unable to communicate with the rest of the team(but sort of did awesome anyway), a guy that only plays source and got severe connection-problems at the end, plus me... a noob that just plays against bots and occasional against friends. It felt great to bash those poor guys + Show Spoiler +

after they taunted us with "ezpz", called us nazis etc. and overall felt superior, but apparently where really low (but stacked with skins ofc). When the mathc ended, it was just awesome... as soon as sv_alltalk hit, it felt like the fence between 2 hooligan-groups broke. Instantly, all 5 startet flaming us, so it was unable to understand anything they said. I believe our 2 germans also flamed back.
This game showed me, why I stopped playing CS/never started playing GO seriously but t the same time why I loved playing 1.6 so much. Playing (kind of) koordinated, figuring out what the enemy is doing/planning, where he will stack etc.. coming back from being behind, trashing a team of douches that feel superior... it just feels great. But there is also the annoyance of having teammates that throw it to early/have a bad attitude (which is why I never played with randoms and usually never do), teammates and opponents that flame and are just morons... maybe I will start playing serious again. Learning all the strats and nades again might be fun, lets see how it goes. At least I can say that playing vs. bots isnt entirely useless in GO

Tried rushing to a bombsite and teamkilled each other when they appeared at opposite ends of the same bombsite at the same time.
Tried exploring the map and shot each other when an unexpected turn placed them face to face.
Get shot by the other team at unexpected places.
Bomb got dropped down a hole and reappeared somwhere.
Bomb got dropped, spent 1 minute walking silently looking for it to no avail. We never found it. The minimap does NOT help!
Bomb got dropped near a car, 1v1, T team never found it either.
Tried to go from bombsite A to bombsite B, never found bombsite B.
Tried to flank the last guy on the enemy team, ended p going round in circles forever, never leaving the same spot.
We planted at A and a CT went flying down splattering on top of the bomb from god knows where.
"Figured out" would be slightly exaggerated I guess. To quote one of the 2 flamers on our team, at the start of the third round on T : "weiß eigentlich irgendwer wie man von T-spawn direkt auf A kommt" - "Does anyone know how to directly get to A from T-spawn". I guess not looking at the radar helped a ton, since that map is so god damn vertical. It was more of a "I figured out what the other team figured out about the map, halfway through the game and was able to guide my brother propably/made the right call when I got the bomb". I believe most of the time we planted on A, the bomb just got there by mistake. Besides the one time where I've gone A with the bomb because I knew those scrubs would stack A.

Eh, most "afkers" just run around griefing if they're sitting there spamming to be kicked. Ive not met one asshole who has legitimately just gone afk. They just spam chat/voice with bullshit and grief trying to get themselves kicked.
People that grief griefers, yeah you stay at your low ranks and don't bring that shit any higher. It's already hard enough to play 4v5 without a bot, 3v5 would be super exciting.

I imagine a lot of people in this thread are those who would get fucked over in contracts for failing to read the small print. The amount of times people have misunderstood and jumped down someones throat around here is pretty entertaining.
Anyway, has anyone actually played a game where someone has legit AFK'd? Like, just not moved or said anything after raging? Never, ever experienced that.
I'm not a fan of the Scout's jumping headshot gimmick mechanic in combination with the truck spot that shoots all the way down appartements on Mirage at bombsite B. Just seems cheap how you can jump around there, be insanely hard to hit and Scout a bunch of players out of the way... Any opinions?
