You can play on a crappy screen with around 100 fps, but you'll definitely be at a disadvantage compared to people on 144hz monitors playing at 300 fps. Sure you can do fine without it, but it's clearly harder to do as well as you'd do with good hardware, and it's gonna be more apparent the more you rank up.

The impotant thing would be; what kind of laptop does znf (hungry people always bad mood hue) has, so jonhy-'s question can be answered. As long as the frames are above 50 and you sit suitable close in front of your monitor/laptop, it should be managable to play properly

Unless you are going to play at something like 800x600 you aren't going to get 60+ fps when looking at smokes. Maybe not even without smokes.

With a good laptop capable of running cs go smoothly, you should be able to get to get to a "high" rank, but that laptop simply doesn't have enough performance to do so.

Btw, are you guys buying any shotguns in comp? I've got pretty snappy reflexes and enjoy being unpredictable and all that, so I guess some shotty action wouldn't be out of question. Those $900 frags seem pretty tasty.

Have you guys got any fun shotty trickery going on? Good spots? When to pick sawed off/mag/nova?

Pros with occassional SG action?

Buying nova or mag 7 as ct on ecos or anti ecos is pretty gud. Nova is surprisingly powerful even at mid ranges, and mag 7 allows great mobility at close ranges. I used to buy the sawed off as T sometimes for fun (because I saw NBK do it I'll admit), and it is decent but not really suited to proper anti eco T play. I'll never forget how rich I felt when I got 3 sawed off kills + a knife on 2 anti eco rounds though :D

Good on those force buys in close quarter positions like apts on inferno, hut on nuke, cat on d2.

Saw JW use it on nuke. Was basically top fragging with it too and buying guns for rest of his team while keeping his mag7.

Yeah, nova is my weapon of choice on anti-eco rounds. It can be pretty devastating but has its limits. Otherwise it would be pretty op. I love this gun srsly

Yeah. You can kind of get one in inferno apartments on eco and go fishing for guns.

Nuke CT is definitely cool too, but it gets awkward very quickly if you have to move around without good info.

Also, there's something oddly satisfying in giving the enemy a knock to the helmet from longer range. Doesn't matter if you didn't do any real damage, it's still a headshot.

Shotguns are brutal in the right situation, i buy them quite often outside of anti-eco rounds.

Heavily dislike the swag-7 / pump though, Nova / autoshotty all the way. You haven't lived until you've gotten a 5k charging down inferno banana with an opening nade and an autoshotty.

hue

I have an Asus laptop. Intel i5 processor with Intel HD 4000 graphics and....pretty sure it's 8gb of ram. I'm not very computer savvy but pretty sure those are most of the relevant specs.

For the game I obviously turn all my specs down to the lowest possible, enable multicore rendering, disable vsync and all that other stuff, and play at a lower resolution.

NihiL/znf: The issue is obviously what is "reasonable" to you guys. For instance, do you find it reasonable if you're stuck in GN/AK area, or do you need to be able to play at a high level for it to be reasonable?

Having played with znf a lot, he can play at around an AK level, but his reaction time is booty and he would be hard-pressed to go above a certain level, and I think part of it has to do with his laptop. But hey, a lot of people are fine with being able to just play at AK level, so maybe a laptop will be fine.


And I honestly think that while, yes, my laptop probably plays a decent contributing role, I myself have a LOT to learn before I get above AK wreath.

So, yeah, I think I play at an AK level, but that's because I think my skill level right now isn't good enough to be better than that yet. My laptop might be a good reason, but I don't like making excuses for myself that way. I think it isn't helpful for my improvement as I player and I encourage people to still try to play Counter Strike competitively even if they don't have the funds to buy a full fledged comp yet.

I play on my Laptop because I don't have a choice, but I get around...~70-90fps.

My laptop screen is also 14 inches and I play with a lower resolution as well (1280x1024 or something). Seeing graveyard/double doors on Dust2 is kind of tough, but I just prefire that area anyway and get headshots npnpnpnpnp

I managed to get to MG2 with my laptop, and while I don't know how much of an improvement I'd make simply by changing over to a desktop, I think you can do about average if you stick with a laptop.

Basically, don't believe Nihil. You can definitely play competitive on a laptop and depending on your FPS and your dedication to practicing, you can definitely get to an okay rank with it.

I'm also improving my play all the time, and I think I can hit DMG with a laptop so yeh.


So you confirm all my points of why it's bad to play CSGO on a laptop and then close by saying "Don't believe Nihil"? Lol

Res != Screen size guys. Of course you can play fine on 1024x768 if you want to but a tiny laptop screen simply will have you not seeing people in cover far away.

Do whatever you want, I don't care, just saying, I tried it and it's really frustrating. You are going to be playing way below the level you could play at on a real gaming machine.


I didn't confirm it. For instance, I don't get 30-60 fps. 70-90 is completely manageable. And just for reference, from what rank are you speaking from? Playing at 60fps is actually completely fine if your general skill level is like anywhere between Silver 1 to MG2. I can't speak for above that because I haven't been there, but I got to MG2 on a new account by playing at essentially 60fps. I have not found any players at this skill level that weren't straight up better than me that benefited from the split second/half second differences that people orgasm about.

I also didn't say that the small screen inhibits my gameplay. I said it makes it a bit tough but I hardly ever notice and I prefire those spots anyway.

I said don't listen to you because you made it sound like the only thing he could do in the game would be to play casual shit, which is completely untrue. You can still play the game competitively and probably get to a comfortable/respectable rank too and to say that you are playing "way below your level" just because you don't have the proper machine is just bullshit. There's no way that if I get a machine that plays CSGO at 200-300 fps, I will suddenly jump to DMG or even MGE.


Have you ever played CSGO on a 'proper' machine with 200-300 FPS and a 24-inch screen or similar? Because I have seen both worlds and base my opinion off of that experience. It's great that you managed to achieve to get to MGE with a laptop but when I talk competitive I mean to play at the height of your abilities. A laptop simply doesn't allow you to do that. If you switched to a good desktop PC with high fps and a big close-up 120Hz monitor maybe I'd be willing to bet that you would indeed jump a couple ranks up after a short transitional getting-used-to period. You make it sound like PC and monitor performance has nothing to do with how well you play which I think is not right.


When did I say that PC/monitor performance has nothing to do with how well you play? I merely said it's silly to suggest you can't play competitive on a laptop when clearly you can play around your actual real rank as long as you aren't at stupid pings and stupidly low FPS numbers.

Again, I am sure that if I get a better machine I will undoubtedly improve faster as I'll be on equal footing with people who double and triple my FPS as well as have much better monitors, but do I think that I'm massively inhibited, my real rank is MGE/DMG and that my laptop is the sole cause?

No. I don't think so. I don't think I'm good enough to be MGE or DMG, and I barely would call myself an MG2 right now.

It's obvious that you have much to improve. It's also obvious watching you play that you should be consistently playing at an MG2 level but you probably can't because of your laptop. You're definitely not MGE/DMG level but at the same time you're playing below where you should be. Whether that matters or not is up to you, but equipment is obviously a factor. Your reaction time is plain balls some times and I don't think it's primarily because you have the reaction speed of a sedated possum.

I started out so lucky with my mission drops for Operation Breakout and now I've been getting the 'average' 2 drops a week. So frustrating when you're in a hurry to get the last 7 missions done for gold coin before it ends. I 'farm' drops by playing ~2-3 hours deathmatch/casual/competitive a day and there's been only one every three days or so....

I thought you can only get 4 drops per week?
