cs1.6 ak sound - best ak sound

I’ve come around on it; a lot of the duels feel very fair to me + it’s easy to do fake-outs with footsteps while CT’s listen from above.. only problem I have is taking B site feels very unwieldy to me, especially when pushing early or when low on utility late-game - it often comes out to a trade. It’s definitely a map that emphasizes teamwork more than some others, there are many spots you need a pal to keep an eye on an angle (such as rushing A ramp it helps having someone watch side, so you don’t have to clear your backside. I was avoiding Anubis for the longest time as well, but have been enjoying it.. another one where I hate taking B if I don’t have good teamwork going

The brightness of the maps is wearing on me, though. The Cache update preview looks a little more subdued and gloomy, hope it stays that way and gets added soon..

Vertigo A ramp is my favourite place in the entire game. I feel so free there. Fighting on it feels good on both sides.

So you're the guy who takes A site every round despite me anchoring B myself and the A players fucking my elo? Got it

On the other hand, this game feels more noob friendly. I go into those FaceIt tournaments drunk as fuck on my alt and it's easy farming of FaceIt points

This should never happen:

[kangaxx]

They should re-implement Mill and Fire, those were always my favourite matches in the league I played in back in the day. Do they still have the updated version of Strike?

Another mastermind CS2 pro player at work:
- gets sponsored by a Russian organization
- publically announces all money he gets from sponsorship he will donate to Ukrainian war effort
- Russians then say they won't pay shit
- pro player surprised, how can this be

 

[luj1]

these ppl sporting ukraine flags are dumb

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

That player smooya is from the UK, quintessential chav who unironically (his words) didn't know how to use a knife and fork until he was ~20 when some teammates showed him how to. He stood in for a Russian team which already disbanded but qualified for the current ongoing tournament already so put together 2 standins to play it anyways.. That russian team/organization is sponsored by Lukoil. So essentially, the retard got the *evil* russian organization prize money (as little as it was), attention and helped put eyes on the brand as a whole without getting paid for it.

Funny thing is this isn't the first time he's been withheld money owed by an org. About half a decade ago while being a dumb teenager fucked himself into a shit contract and had to cry to a journalist to help get him out of it.

 

[soutaiseiriron]

based smoodawg
worst case scenario he loses a token sum and implodes a oil org that will never be in any event ever again except for banana cups like "games of the future" or some shit
best case scenario he gets a bag and publicity after hardcarrying his team of shitters with a 1.20 after not playing tier 1 lan for years

 

[Morenatsu.]

what is he based on?

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

and implodes a oil org

the team already imploded before pro league, that's the only reason smooya was there, they needed 2 standins because 2/5 players already found new teams after the whole forze team was benched

 

[soutaiseiriron]

i said org, not team
the rest of the org hurts either way. if it's lukoil's demand then they're an bad partner to forze because they're compromising their relationship with valve, ESL, CSPPA, esic, blast, etc.
if it isn't lukoil's demand, then forze has shown itself to be a stupid and unreliable org to players and there's no career to be found under them

Anglos are just built differently, I guess

Why do you follow this lol

Shoutout to zaaz though, true old school player, from the beginning (before it was even cs 1.6). Her team is the only one who will face male teams in officials. No often mind you, they can't get into anything except from tier 3-4 tournaments will invite them. They'll get knocked out instantly without a fight but, the effort is there.

 

[Konjad]

Follow? Bruh, I didn't even know women play CS before I saw this picture.

 

[oldbonebrown]

Thera is my new favourite map. Explosive, dynamic, complex.

 

[Saldrone]

Idk but there is something so "off" about this replacement to Global Offensive that keeps me away from playing it. I'd prefer to still play CS 1.6 even if my only viable option is a pirated copy with bots if there are no players left

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

This game is fucking shit the worst version of any CS in history.

First year CS:GO was better, and even then could still play source or 1.6

Condition Zero is fucking better.

Fuck you

 

[oldbonebrown]

Condition Zero was better than early CS:GO

 

[Morenatsu.]

Is Condition Zero supposed to be bad or something?

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

I uninstalled the game since my last comment and haven't touched it since.

I haven't uninstalled cs for almost 10 years when I was younger and raged in ESEA then immediately re downloaded.

CS2 is terrible

 

[kites]

Is Condition Zero supposed to be bad or something?

The CS userbase was already divided by patches, and CZ didn’t do much to make it worthwhile for the community to switch towards. CS:S came out shortly later that year and made it irrelevant/divided the userbase even further. Those who wanted a ground-up new game got it.

 

[Beastro]

- in the early years the net code and specially hitboxes were just terrible

This.

Few games have enfuriated me more than it.

I can take having a bad connection and living with it, I did with BF1942 and Red Orchestra, but it was clear in that fucking game that the problem wasn't on my end.

It's the prevalence of easy aimb/wallhacks (that and it's a very lucrative business to create them now in 2024). It makes MP FPS if you're forced to public servers just unplayable, especially if you know how it all works. The vast majority are don't realise how bad it is, I can't see how any preventative measure could possibly stop it at this point, outside completely redesigning to FPS MOBA where player skill gets factored out.

Not saying this wasn't a problem in 1.0->1.6 era but it was nowhere near as bad as it is today.
