Counterstrike: Global Offensive
 

As the number 1 game on steam, I'm sure some of you play this. I'm a gold nova 1 right now, playing with my brother who's a Master Guardian 2. Post up your steam name or shoot me a PM if you're down for some matchmaking fun!

Steam ID is Kloop.

I had to check this post wasn't from 1997. :P

Legendary Eagle here. Always down to play though.

Username: Bo Obama

Eh,

I played CS 1.3 -> 1.6, did cal/ogl leagues and went to 1 CPL in Dallas.

Still feel burnt out lol.

I already made this thread, and Brain already made that joke.

As much as I love CS:GO, I just cant play it anymore. The matchmaking is lousy with hackers and it takes the fun out of the game.
Ill never forget the early days. So many good comp matches.

Hacking seems way down now compared to like a month or two ago. Silver Elite here.
Did anyone else get completely fucked by that patch last night? I crashed out 4 times in 3 rounds the first match I joined after updating and I finally gave up. No idea how long the ban is. I wasnt the only one though. By the time I gave up like two other people on each team had come to the same conclusion as me.

I've been bouncing around Nova 2-3. I dont play enough to move up from there.

Last I played was a few month ago and every other match would involve some kind of hacking. Wall hacking, aimbot toggling, or even people DOSing the server to exploit the lag to their advantage.
From what Ive heard the DOSing is still a big problem.

omg I used to love wallhacking CS--they still haven't put a stop to it?

I can't even bad mouth 12yo kids on Starcraft2 without getting temp banned.

Master Guardian 2. Always queue with a full lobby, and really don't run in to (at least blatant) hackers often. Once every 10 games?

I havent been in a DDOS'ed server in a while. I think just recently valve must have taken on the backlog of hacking reports and banned a shitload of people and done some ranking readjustment. I'd be slogging along at sliver 2 for like forever and then the hacking started to get mega shitty a couple months ago and I stopped playing. I picked it up like the start of last week and after the first match I went silver 3 and by last thursday hit silver elite and I havent really run into any obvious hacking since. Occasionally you run into the team that it feels like is all walling because they just get lucking guessing what bomb site you protect, or occasionally you get shot by someone with an awp though smoke, or that dude that makes the jumping m4 1 tap headshot. I'm sure maybe some of that was still hacking, but a lot better disguised, and I think a lot is just luck.

I just logged onto steam and it looks like there's a new patch, so hopefully all is fixed.

Just ranked up to Gold Nova 2! I still feel like a super silver though.

I got screwed by the patch last night as well. My bro got DCed, then couldn't reconnect due to the patch that was forced down his throat. We had to surrender.

The only case of blatant hacking I've seen was when a random teammate during MM got vac-banned mid-round. We lost after that.

With the latest patch, microphone in the lobby is broken. Seriously Gaben?

I always use some sort of VOIP service, currently TeamSpeak. So I guess that is why I haven't noticed the broken lobby mic.

At least the new patch fixed everything else. Still havent dropped the M4 back down to its old price though. Might as well spend the extra couple hundred for the aug.

Long time no see Bryce!
In.

Added in addition to the others in the thread. Yeah, I've been without job for a few months now, so I've had some time to improve my fps skillz.

Im Disco Potato on steam. Also, I have a teamspeak server set up.

Id be down to run some scrims MTnet style.

I need to shuffle and get my PC hooked up again. This sounds fun!

Hells yeah! Good games last night! Stayed and played another round afterwards. I even got MVP one round.

Damn, so temped to play...

So at some point in the last week I got gold nova, not sure when exactly.

I deranked down to MG2 :/

One day I will actually pick up CS:GO.

Might as well do it during the steam sale when it can be had for $7.50

Why does everyone keep calling me a smurf? Seriously who would have a 5 year coin on their 2nd account? Just because I'm kicking ass with only like 180 hours on my steam profile doesnt mean I'm a smurf.

Hmm.

Used to do 1.6 competitively back in the day.

Does this measure up? I've kind of been wanting to get back into playing some good FPS games with a regular crowd on PC but I feel like everything after BF2 sucks lol.

It was really good for a while. They fixed all the problems with CS:Source and got back to the roots of 1.6. Unfortunately it has sort of spiraled out of control recently. They keep adding weapon skins and ranks and experience leveling and other stupid shit only appreciated by the Call of Duty generation.
I understand that Valve wants to appeal to a larger audience, and CoD has had a permanent effect on the FPS genre, but it really ruins it for me.\

I heard recently that when you are unranked, something that happened when you stop playing for a while, you now have to play in casual until you earn enough "levels" to play comp again. Oh, and of course when you gain a level you get a weapon skin...

I had a lot of fun memories. Im just going to choose to remember the game the way it was a couple years ago.

I like all the extra skins and cases and crap. People suck it up. I've pulled in like 5 bucks from playing this game so far from selling cases and skin drops to idiots that care about that shit.

I've been active & playing recently. 'Feels' like 1.6, but its cs:go, or as close to 1.6 as possible on the new gaming engine :dunno:

I was kinda 'eh' about it until I mapped my keys similar to my old 1.6 setup. Mouse binds, & similar buy script. I'm only rank 1 still :cry:

You can make monies :burncash: ? Inturdasting... :hatecat:

My steam account name: 'cs_gir@yahoo.com' or www.steamcommunity.com/id/Girz0r ? Lets be frwends :wavey:

Since the last time the thread was bumped I made it to MG, got selected for overwatch, had a couple shitty days and dropped down to nova 4 and then made it back to MG yesterday.

LEM strats too hard. This was a game full of Supremes and 2 Global Elites. I heard the two guys running from B main, and decided to just keep holding down the trigger. I died shortly after because I couldn't stop laughing. Worth it.

Those other 2 CTs must of been pissed :giggle:

I bet you got reported for that. Actually, maybe not, because of the level you were playing at. 100% that would have been reported in MG and lower.

They'd already said "reported" earlier in the game due to an excess of deagle headshots. lol.

Used to be MG2 but haven't played in 6mo, I've dropped quite a few ranks. I know smokes, strats and callouts (has mic). PM to add me on steam.
