How can people actually enjoy this game
There are two groups, OP.
People who played CS back in the day and refuse to move onto better things.
People who have started playing it recently and tell themselves it's good because "DUDE IT'S COUNTER STRIKE, COUNTER STRIKE. I'M A PRO GAMER FOR PLAYING IT"
Did somebody say ice cream?
None of us actually enjoy it. We just can't let go of the past.
>>318432505
i wanted to play with a knife
cant throw it and everybody tryhard instagibs you with AK47/AWP
shits even worse fun than CoD, you literally get punished for trying to HF outside meta
Because it's a cheap popular arcade shooter with a high skill ceiling.
Most people just don't want to spend 50gold for a multiplayer only game. Not that there are any impressive multiplayer games, I don't even know of a single one I even want to try out.
i uninstalled, got bored of it
>>318432829
This is true. It isn't very fun.
>>318432505
name a good multiplayer fps then? because according to /v/ they're all shit
>>318433382
Did I call it shit?
>>318433382
Tf2. I know, I know, it's super popular so it's bad.
>>318432971
CS was good in the day, anon. It's just a husk now. Bad community, skin crap, out dated graphics, barely active development.
>>318432505
Because taste is subjective.
>>318432505
It's okay in small doses. The community is absolute shit though. Full of shitty fuckin' Twitch self promoters and little kids.
>>318433575
Also, a lot of people now only play the game so they can make money off selling dumb shit to stupid kids
post your ranks lads
>tfw LE scrub
Did the game get suddenly popular? Because I'm seeing the usual cowadooty you tubers start uploading this
>>318432505
same way people enjoy your mom.
>>318433962
Kill yourself
>>318433971
Big tournament just ended so all the kids are using it as flavor of the week again
It's fun
>>318432829
Then there's the group that never got sucked into CS because there have always been better shooters around, and wonders why people fight about it so much.
>>318433962
lem using only ump and jumping around, treating competitive like deathmatch makes it easy
>>318433971
Probably this >>318434098 plus the sale.
>>318433575
CSGO is objectively better than 1.6
Get fucked retard
>>318434269
>better shooters around
>gives no examples
Every fucking time.
I find it funny this game was dead for a long time, then suddenly got popular because they added skins and crates to peek the interest of retards.
>>318434269
To be honest I can't think of a better game that CS in it's category.
>>318432505
The new game Rainbow game shits on it in terms of tactical arcade gameplay.
>Throw it up for a round or two of casual with chat disabled
it's just some good olcasualfun for me
>>318434553
It was only really dead around release. By the time the skins and shit came around the game had gotten fairly popular.
>>318434710
>tfw my greatest CS:GO moment was in casual
Man. All those hours and the one time I play casual I do something(by my shitty standards) fancy.
>>318434710
this 2bh.
Although I leave voice and chat on cause some people that play this game are fucking crazy.
There was some 50 year old military vet with a souvenir dragon lore wrecking everyone and his shit talk on the mic was amazing.
>>318434391
Back in the day there was a wealth of superior tactical shooters like Rainbow Six, and not just arena shooters with made up guns. There were more arcadey shooters like Action Quake 2, there was Enemy Territory, soon shooters with a pace similar to CS like True Combat: Elite. CS is just an unremarkable game with a weird recoil system. Today Insurgency is probably a better game all around, or evenCall of Duty.
There were plenty of other Half-Life mods like The Specialists, or just regular Half-Life deathmatch which was chaotic as hell. CS overshadowed a lot of better mods.
Not to mention that Source and GO are pretty much the same game. Well GO at least added molotov. Competitive players bitch about minutiae in how they work, they also bitched about the changes leading up to 1.6 like how bhop got nerfed over time. I think they just like to bitch.
>>318432505
because there is no better games around, and i have around 20 friends playing it.
>>318435238
Man. All I get in my region and Russians and try-hard Swedes.
>>318435238
>>318434710
gonna say this, casual modes were the most mind numbingly boring things i've played, even with chat and voice disabled they're still boring as hell, don't know how any of you could stand them
the only thing that was remotely interesting was competitive, just play that to waste a good 40 minutes before class or just burn time in general and i was good
to each his own i guess
>>318432829
It's true. Playing since 1.5. Still fun for some fucking reason.
>>318435418
>I think they just like to bitch.
Is there any competitive community who don't?
I still haven't been able to find a 5v5 style game that captures the same feelings as CS does.
At least not one that is actually played.
I would love to see some more games like it but there just isn't any that are better. The only shooter I've played in years that have come close have been Insurgency but that plays almost nothing like CS.
>Not to mention that Source and GO are pretty much the same game.
They really aren't. There's a reason everyone except the "casuals" skipped over it.
>>318433962
>tfw stuck in DMG hell
fuck Russians and fuck playing at 5AM GMT, it makes playing with Russians a 100% chance rather than the slimmer chance it would be in the morning.
Also, for the past week I've been using Idlemaster to save up for a good AK skin, just bought a Wasteland Rebel using only 4 euros of my actual money.

srry this is my secondday on /v/ i mgirated from r/games
I bought it because I wanted an online shooter, and /v/ said that Battlefield, CoD, and TF2 weren't fun and were stupid, so I tried the supposedly best one.
/v/ was wrong.
>>318432829
I haven't really played either until recently.
Old cs got boring after like 4 hours, cs go got boring after 1, luckily you can return games now.
>>318437685
Go back
You know what would make CS better? Ironsights that just jump along the recoil path and sway/hand jitter in your RNG range, they don't zoom, increase weapon accuracy or reduce move speed.
>>318437774
Refund it like I did.
>>318432505
No one does. CS:GO is like a prison. You can't leave unless they let you.
>>318432505
I enjoy it

>>318438082
no i like it here ;') love memes!
>>318432505
It's a game that inhabits the same mechanics of its predecessors
the original CS and CS Source
TL;DR
People love it because of how it plays and requires you to learn in order to not suck balls otherwise it is pointless to play and of course wasting money on skins.
And because it's more of a skill based game and is played on a competitive level also plays a huge role in esports tournament scene graphics never really mattered.now 16 years later there are still professional tournaments on the original cs with huge prizes.
After the release of CS Source in 2004 the game and franchise slowly kinda got overshadowed by rising popularity of CoD thanks to modern warfare.
And now after the release of CS:GO it still wasnt so huge in the begining but it has risen and is becoming more popular thanks to esports and of course the ingame cosmetics known as skins whitch kinda boggles me how adding a reason to invest more money into the game and creating a vast economy made CS:GO rise to popularity and trend....
But I still enjoy the original cs because I have been playing it since childhood and will continue to play even though I have already clogged in +30,000 hours into it
And no I am not russian or polish so don't even think about it

>playing cs when tf2 exists
why?
tf2 has more variety, takes more skill, is faster and more fun.
cs is only fun when you are at that local server in your hardware school
>>318439264
>playing tf2 when tfc exists
why?
tfc has more variety, takes more skill, is faster and more fun.
>>318439264
I play both and both are pretty good but for me cs is better only because I have been playing longer
but at a sertain point it all boils down to the same
Hurr-Durr wasting money on hats
Hurr-Durr wasting money on knife skins
Hurr-Durr cs;go ripped off tf2 for including cosmetics
Hurr-Durr tf2 ripped off cs:go for including skins
>>318439264
cs is more "casual" because it's edgy
it's more likely that your normie friends will start playing with you
>>318439264
>takes more skill
Why do people consider this a positive when shooting games dont take any skill at all to do decent in when you first start out?
>>318432829
I'm in the latter group and I agree with the rose colored glasses 1.6 crowd. The game's shit. Still fun to do a 5 stack deagles only, though.
Also I get a message saying that I'm blocking VAC if I play on Windows now. I've tried every possible solution and the only one that works is playing on Linux.
It's no fun playing it with no friends, if you had friends then you might enjoy it. Quite fun starting a small server and beating your friends at 3v3s or 5v5s. If you had a nice big local community of nice players then it would be really fun.
>>318439264
I play TF2 when Im in the mood for some feel good goofy casual-ish FPS action, which is quite often. I fucking love TF2
I play CSGO when I wanna play comp since casual mode on CSGO is super boring. Don't be fooled however, I basically treat comp as casual/deathmatch and only use shotguns/knives/Deagle/zeus and I just got to LEM. It pisses the other team off when I ace them with a fucking autoshotty and especially my team when we're supposed to be saving but I buy armor, nova, zeus every fucking round.
>>318440062
>shooting games dont take any skill at all to do decent in when you first start out
Not sure what games you're playing but that definitely doesn't apply to Quake
>>318434553
It was only "dead" because Turtle Rock/Hidden Path managed to fuck up literally everything that CS 1.6 did well. Seriously, look up some CSGO beta gameplay. Pistols were ridiculously OP, movement was imprecise as fuck, and worst of all, they tried bringing Office and all the other hostage rescue maps back into the competitive rotation, as though ANYONE took them seriously.
>>318440062
>hooting games dont take any skill at all to do decent in when you first start out
That's only true for casual games.
Having skill is basically like having a COD style progression system, but it's base on actual merit and not how many hours you've sat there and grinded while watching movies on netflix.
>>318440062
Pretty much every remotely popular multiplayer game these days has enough depth that a skilled player/team can stomp all over a new player. The difference is that the most popular games have a large player base and some basic form of skill-based matchmaking.
Even before matchmaking, public severs have merely average players, on average. In fact below average if we're talking CS or other games where most of the skilled players did pickups on private servers.
>>318440660
>and I just got to LEM
You think that's hard or something? Since the ban wave LEM is only 2 ranks above default rank.
Dirty bomb would have been awesome if it was just completely f2p with skins. Goddam why did they do a league of legends pay model, fuck that game
>>318432829
I played CS back around 2000~. CS:S was ok for a while I guess. Isn't GO the same game as 15 years ago?
>>318440967
Arena shooters like quake are the exception but as long as you're not playing against above good people, you should do okay, unless you suck at fps games in general.
Honestly, in my opinion people that say cs/bf/team fortress even quake to a lesser degree say the games take a lot of skill are just people that suck at games in the first place.

in CS, it's possible to hit your target when you're not aiming at them, and possible to miss when you are aiming at them
in Quake or UT, if you are aiming at the enemy, you will hit them
apparently this means CS takes more aiming skillz

>>318438713
agreed. the community at LEM and DMG were shit and that's why i quit. people only called each other autistic (and was misused at that) and weren't much better than tryhards in casual.

Did that guy ever release a full table of guns/range probability to hit the head with perfectly centered aim?
>>318442652
in the off chance you aren't falseflagging or baiting, I implore you to actually tell me why I'm wrong
No game deserves to be called competitive when a random number generator decides how well you will do. Aiming at the enemy and missing is a joke, not aiming at the enemy and hitting with something other than a splash weapon is also a joke. CS is for children, and it's beyond me how you enjoy taking 2 minutes to peak one corner and then die to RNG recoil

CS:GO is a fucking disgrace, the only people who like it are just too obsessed with their MLG rank to quit and have fun with games instead.
Because I play with friends.
Even if I didn't it's not hard to see why it's popular, it's a demanding game (no, your webm of an AK missing one bullet in a million won't change this)
With lots of room for actual strategy.
But there's a part which is overlooked about CS which is how it distinguishes itself from other games, it is played in short bits. You're frequently given small "breaks" between rounds, when you die, etc. Rounds can go very slow, and then suddenly burst out in an instant of flashes, hailfire of bullets and grenades. It's almost like a thriller in the way it builds up.
Pulling off a clutch 1vX and saving the round honestly has little comparison to any other game.

http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&jstime=1&appid=730&from=1345240200000&to=1448924400000
it was slowly expanding over the course of a year after an absurdly botched launch, then jumped by 50% when skins and a tournament was announced, and has repeated this pattern every 3-4 months. it wasn't even popular among people who played cs, for reference both 1.6 and source outnumbered it until skins. csgo as a game flopped, everyone agreed it was and still is shit.
>>318444180
I'll let you doubt the first webm.
>>318444024
Is this your webm or did you just save it from /v/ or elsewhere?
>>318432505
I like the gunplay and movement mechanics, the light tactical/strategy elements, the economy mechanics. I think it's a really fun, competitive shooter that isn't braindead in terms of gunplay or strategy, and has mechanics that reward skill and self-control, and also smart decisionmaking as a team, round to round.
>>318444036
for those, the level design and other things would also need to be upgraded to properly accommodate them
but really faggot, do you think CS is literally perfect? there are plenty of additions that could be done for an actual sequel, as opposed to the half-assed HD skin market remakes valve keeps funding
>>318444445

>>318434553
It's updated very regularly and in sognificant ways, I'm not a fan of the skin shit either, but it has no effect on gameplay, and if that's the money that allowed them to mae updates like the improves hitboxes, then I'm all for it.
>>318444445
But the features you suggested are fucking garbage.
Prone and leaning adds nothing, it decreases risk/reward to pretty much zilch.
>lie prone in some awkward off angle with nothing but a tiny gun barrel pointing out
>looking around a fucking wall without having to expose myself and getting ez shots on the people that has to push
What the fuck does that add? Nothing. It's pointless fluff which only detracts from the game.
Pseudorandom bulletspray =/= low skill ceiling you fucking idiots.
If the game had a low skill ceiling there wouldn't be so many tards raging on /v/ about how the bulletspray is "bullshit". They'd all be doing great, because it has a low skill ceiling, right guise??!?!?!?
The bulletspray is meant to be large but consistent, and only slightly random so you have to think farther than just "point and click on this guy's head, rinse, repeat", but of course none of the simple-minded NEETs here have the mental capacity to understand that.
Honestly the way /v/ acts towards CS:GO literally proves it's full of scrubs who can't play a game that actually takes an ounce of skill, and would rather play their Japanese dating simulators instead.
>>318444801

>>318444674
>hurrr every game should just be quake
Why can't we ever have a fucking counterstrike threads without people who pretend to play quake coming in and trying to wave their dick about how much better their dead arena shooter is compared to the current tactical team shooter.

>it's old and posted here a lot so it must be true!
>>318439264
TF2 takes more skill? In what way? Rocket jumping is a mechanic that CS cannot compare to, but the reason I stopped playing TF2 was because it's a point n' click adventure with very few mechanics when it comes to the actual shooting and killing people bit
>>318443917
He wants more mechanics that remove the depth of the game. Prone in CS would devolve into a shitty gimmick feature that either no one would use or everyone would abuse. The game isn't supposed to feel like CoD. Hell, prone has never even been in Source games anyway.
people enjoy the game because they dont suck as bad as you

what tickrate was that demo?
>>318442434
Possible, maybe, but I'm sure you're aware that it's extremely unlikely. The recoil isn't RNG either, it's a pattern to master unless you want to get absolutely buttfucked by any remotely competent player.
>>318445018
the point is that cs has a lower skill ceiling than quake and aq2, the game it came from. just as 1.5 has a lower one than <1.3, 1.6 than 1.5, cs:s/go even lower than 1.6.
>>318443316
>So wait you just want to hold left click and expect al lthe bullets to follow your crosshait perfectly?
That's reasonable in a game that is about shooting. I should hit my target if I do aim for him.
>>318442889
The reason cs is better because its a combination of movement and aiming coordination. Too bad csgo has the worst movement, hit boxes, and spray pattern.
>>318445568
He probably doesn't even know what tickrate means
He does this in every thread, just tell him to fuck off and get good, he hates that
why play CS when Insurgency is 100 times better.
I didn't really start getting into it until around 50 hours when I kind of knew what was going on.
Got my friend playing it though, definitely a lot more fun when you've got someone to play it with instead of going in solo.Hit me up later Scherbs
>>318445768
Than just go play a CoD game, 90% of the guns have 0 recoil.
>>318441550
Fuck off fag. I'm not trying to say I'm godly at the game but getting to the fucking 3rd highest rank definetly means I'm slightly above average, even if just statistically.
The whole point was that I got there only using shotguns just for fun, nowhere did I make a claim that it is fucking difficult and I'm great at the game. nice strawman ;')

>implying CoD is a bad game
Grow up.
>>318442889
If someone can take a guess and corner peek you, you're bad and need to change your positioning. It's not random unless you're running and gunning, which is, of course, stupid, and will never, ever work unless you're playing against absolute shitters. The recoil of guns have set patterns, and a good player will know where the next bullet will go because they understand this. If you don't like those mechanics, that's cool, but advertising your opinion as an objective measure of a skill ceiling is just shitposting.

700 hours in, SMFC, and I'm still not enjoying the game.
You might think that's bullshit because of the time invested, but I swear that I've only spent so much time on it because I'm hoping the game gets more fun the more competitive it is.
I want it to be as fun as MW2 was for me ~6 years ago but I guess it's not happening.

Are you joking or are you fucking retarded? Have you ever played the game? Yes, there are spray patterns. Yes, there is a shitton of recoil. You fight against it and you can land any fucking shot you want. Most of the complaints or webms that are posted are due to Valve's servers being fucking garbage rather than RNG affecting somebodies aim, unless that person is fucking garbage at the game and is trying to spray down somebody with a Negev by aiming at their head instead of their feet.

the point is that cs has a lower skill ceiling than quake and aq2, the game it came from
LITERAL WUT?
>>318446495
Quake gave life to Half-Life which gave life to Counter-Strike. Learn to video game history.

it gets less fun the better you are, as all multiplayer FPS games doother than simulation

Do people still play this Anon? I wanted to get it years ago but always put it off until now.

Theres a small but pretty dedicated community, and people tend to buy it when it goes on sale like CSGO and there will be a small spike
On the bright side i've never seen anyone get upset on a pub server in DoD:S so the small community isnt horrible

>>318446495
the modders who made cs came from action quake 2. cs was supposed to a tacticool successor to aq2 and was even quite fast until the later valve patches. you probably don't know this because you weren't born when this happened
>>318445903
You don't really think they occupy anything close to the same niche, do you? I enjoy both, but this is just a silly post.
Why play Insurgency when Katamari Damacy is 100 times better? Durrrr
>mfw playing valve deathmatch and going 45:6 with the awp vs literal silvers/novas

Shit's easy yo.

It is a set, cone-based pattern that is the same every time. Not RNG my friend
the game is fun stop trying to fit in

first shot inaccuracy is rng
running pistol accuracy is arguably rng but not really
>>318447556
>shooting while running
at least try

Every game is random if the two players just play like retards without understanding the mechanics.

cs has more or less direct lineage with aq2, a quake 2 mod.
>>318447629
name a single fps that is better than cs:go. seriously no one ever posts a real answer to this question
fite me faggggot
>>318447734
both did the same thing and 1 missed because of RNG
>>318432505
been playing for so long that it would be all wasted if i quit now
hell the game is killing me i'm losing my hearing at 26 because of this game.
it still is the only game that uses sound to find enemies. it is still the greatest feeling to be called a cheater because a guy made a movement from half across the map and you knew where he was gonna go.
>people still replying to the RNG bait guy
notice how he never tries to refute people who actually have an argument? all he says is he can't aim and it's RNG.
>>318447861
counter-strike 1.3
>>318447697
there are several pistols that the first bullet is near perfect accuracy even while moving
>>318447861
tf2, even with all the faggotry it has now, is a better game than csgo
>>318447861
Insurgency.
However, ultimately it is a matter of preference. Personally I dislike how small the majority of CS:GO's levels are. I absolutely hate tiny levels in multiplayer fps games, thus why I hate CSGO and COD.
>>318447861
not him but
tf2
call of duty blops 3
battlefield 4
rainbow six siege (literally an improvement on cs in every conceivable way)
hell even battlefront is better than the steaming turd that is CS
>>318447903
your arguments are about as sturdy as wet paper
if you want perfect accuracy while moving then go play quake
why am I even responding, you're just shitposting
>>318447950
Nigga all weapons have an inaccurate % when standing still with first shot. Somehow this isn't RNG? No matter how "skilled" you are you can't see the future.
>>318448157
this is a really bad thing too. which is the funny thing about these discussions
>>318448267
wew lad nice post
>>318447861
Did you even read that post? Obviously if I post a name you're just going to list a bunch of horseshit that only you believe. CS is objectively shit. Any game is more enjoyable than that trash.
>>318444329
ive seen this on reddit literally months ago.yes i go to reddit
>>318447556
Pretty good bait.
Of course, if either player was a non-mongoloid, they would know that movement affects aiming and wouldn't do that. Also, there's pretty much a 0% chance a running shot would ever go anywhere near your crosshair.
I guess rng is a meme now
>>318448226
cs maps are carefully built for perfect balance. look at dust 2 and inferno for fuck sake, both have been played consistently for 10+ years

Rainbow six is for casuals who didn't want to git gud at cs
>>318436075
I always end up on Asian servers, where I'm the only person in the game with above 20 ping
>>318448296
Your first hit when standing still has a chance of being inaccurate. AWP has a 2% inaccuracy when standing still first shot. That means you don't hit where you fucking aim. With a sniper rifle. When standing still.
You might argue that it's only 2% and it's negligible however it's still RNG and awp is the most accurate weapon. Desert eagle is 90% accurate when standing still first shot. Basically 1/10 shots will not hit where you aim when you stand still. I guess i need to be better at seeing the future.
>>318447861
Literally the Rainbow Six series.
>>318447697
That's the only legitimate criticism I've seen in this thread. That's true, but it's a part of the economy as a way to balance weapons and differentiate their quality, sometimes I wish more of the guns had pinpoint first shot accuracy, but all the guns that are actually considered viable at a high level are pinpoint accuracte first shot, so I'm not going to get angry that an Mp9 can't land a headshot cross-map. Also the pistols with running headshots are not RNG
>>318448536
So it is RNG then?
Being good is fun.
Being a shitter is literally hell on earth though. If you can force yourself to get better there is a lot of enjoyment in this game.
Why does it matter whether GO has RNG or not?
Can you niggers even name a tactical FPS without RNG?
>>318432505
It's actually called .."git gud" ..insane training regimen ...you might like it.
>>318444638
How retarded are you? That IS rng.
>>318449561
>bullet spread is RNG
im not sure if this is shitposting anymore or just full fucking retards...
>>318448854
Rainbow Six came out in 1998, kiddo.
>>318449717
it is rng though
how is it not rng if the bullet misses even if you aim at the niggas head
>>318448267
TF2 is pretty casual and lacks any depth in gunplay, but it does have cool stuff like rocketjumping.
CoD Blops 3 has been a steaming pile of shit; new railroaded movement options that maps aren't made to accomodate aside from one or two huge obvious WALLRUN HERE segments, which kind of defeats the purpose of a movement mechanic meant to provide more freedom or opportunity to outplay others when it's only useful in one spot per map, may as well just be press X to wallrun here and only here. The guns completely lack any kind of balance, attachments and perks are retarded since so many are simply objective upgrades you should lways pick. Assault rifles, Snipers and 2 SMGs are the only guns that really exist, and since you can spawn with any of them it relegates half of the guns in the game right into the bin. No skill based matchmaking. No depth to gunplay, all guns are bullet hoses as usual. Shitty, cluttered HUD that invades your space every time you do anything at all, hitmarkers are still a thing.
Battlefield 4 is a bastard child of Battlefield and CoD, that doesn't really do well at aping either.
Siege is okay, but is plagued by CoD bullet hose syndrome, garbage performance on many rigs, zero depth to gunplay or movement.
Battlefront: lol
>>318448226
Only fun part of Insurgency is CO OP, PvP is broken as hell.
>>318449945
I'm talking about the current game kiddo, and even then it was a buggy/glitchy mess for multiplayer
>>318448484
>objectively
>no assertations, arguments or evidence in any form
Opinion discarded
>>318448845
I hope you're not playing casual, sir. It's garbage. AWPs are countered by a 300 dollarydoo smoke grenade otherwise.
>>318449561
What is a cone
I jumped on the CS train because I know it won't die. I hate playing a game for a few years and then the community just evaporates. CS is deep enough for the hardcore to stick with it and the skins have brought in millions of noobs to revitalize the community.
You MIGHT be able to to argue for a few of the games posted ITT but there are way too many reasons that CS is king and will remain that way.
>>318450247
Yeah, I learned my lesson that casual was shit pretty quickly.
I find myself playing Demolition a lot. It's actually kinda fun.
Did Zombie Survival/Escape ever make it over to GO or did people just stick to source for that?
>>318450018
>Siege
>garbage performance on many rigs
Out of some problems players have with the game, this isn't one of them.
>>318447048
Oh shit it is true.

How is it not RNG? How fucking old are you?
>people saying cs is rng

I will continuously add to this all of the retarded shit CS players say, you all should save it and add to it yourselves so that when a CS player spews horseshit for the umpteenth time a thread, you can make sure they won't again.

>being this autistic
holy shit
>>318450505
Honestly I exclusively play competitive when I actually want to play, I may warm up on DM or Demolition, but I don't consider those the core game. I saw a lot more of the modded stuff on Source.
>>318450848
Dang, I guess I hot swindled by /v/ shitposting; I didn't personally experience the frame drops but /v/ was shitting itself.

I wanna encourage you to do this. I see the angry children have already replied to your post.

I think you're mixing it up with BO3 and its poor performance. Although I think it's mostly fixed by now.

>>318451304
Gosh, he spent 10 minutes in mspaint. He must be right.
>>318451304
This is almost entirely based off of the belief that the negligible inaccuracy of first shots effects the outcome of any percentage of gameplay. Also, there is literally evidence in the screenshotted .webm of the 5-7 headshot (netgraph) that it is from a replay, which has a very low tick rate, which as anyone who has seen a replay or two knows, results very frequently in the consequential death of a player occuring before the replay matches the killing player's perspective and crosshair. Even by the negligible inaccuracy factor of stopped first shots your shitposting exaggerates to survive, that shot would have been literally impossible within the game if it was not a result of the shitty valve replay, which it categorically and empirically is.
>>318434553
You realize that it was dead because it was complete fucking garbage on release, right?
>>318452223
Maybe, my bad dude. I do enjoy Siege for the record, but still object to the idea that it's comparably competitive to CS.
>>318451304
8/10 bait. Needs a couple of reaction images in there and some statements from major people in cs:go.
>>318451304
>tickrate has nothing to do with the fact that he landed a headshot while not even putting his crosshairs over the enemy
How stupid are you? That looks like an artifact that occurs in low tick rate demos, which make them not representative of the actual view of a player. Prove me wrong, post one with net_graph 1 on.
>>318437774
