CSGO Sticky thread

Only real changes you can make are for CTs:
M4A1s vs M4A4:
The M4A1s is silenced so enemies don't see the tracers when you spray through smoke (sothey don't know where you're shooting from and instead have to guess). However the M4A1s only has a 20 round magazine with 40 rounds on your belt. So if you're not careful you can run out of rounds. M4A1s has a tighter spread when you spray or burst so it is more accurate. It's fire rate is lower though so overall it could be argued that it does less damage. Burst fire and being sneaky is how you want to use this gun.

M4A4 by contrast is good for spraying, has a high rate of fire but a bigger spread. Spray pattern is very similar to the AK so if you can shoot the AK you'll lean the M4A4 fast.

So which you choose depends on your play style. I prefer the M4A1s but there are pros and cons for both. If you're a lurker or you like holding and playing slow with burst or tap fire go for the M4A1s. If you're an entry fragger or enjoy spraying then go for the M4A4.

CZ-75 vs five-seven:
I'd recommend the five-seven. The cz-75 is fully automatic but only has 24 rounds. You can burn through those rounds in seconds so trigger discipline is very important. You also only get $300 for a kill with it, like killing someone using a rifle. So it won't net you much income on eco rounds. The cz-75 is good for 1v1 fights against a guy with a rifle close range. You are very likely to end up killing him and stealing his weapon.

The five-seven by contrast holds 20 rounds in the magazine and has 100 rounds in your belt. It is a 1-shot headshot close range and surprisingly accurate while moving. Long range it is quite garbage though so you'll want your enemy to be close.

Overall the five-seven is more versatile. I'd recommend it over the cz-75.

USPS-S vs. P2000:
Both are pretty similar. P2000s spray pattern tends to go vertical while the USP-S goes sideways slightly. None of thse matters though because you shouldn't be spraying with these guns. Take it slow and aim. USP-S has a silencer so, as mentioned previously, the tracers can't be seen through smoke.

USe the one that feels most comfortable for you. I use the USP-S because I find it more accuaret for long to medium range headshots (which on pistol rounds is what you want). However if you tend to burn through ammo use the P2000 as you get far more rounds with it than with the USP-S.



On terrorists:
cz-75 vs. Tec-9:
Similar story to the five-seven vs cz75. Use the Tec-9. It holds 24 rounds. It almost doesn't give a ***** about armour. It fires so fast while maintaining accuracy that it may as well be an SMG. It has a disgusting amount of ammo on your belt, you will never run out.


One both sides:
R8 vs. desert eagle:
R8 is super accurate long range. This is down to preference I suppose. Most people use the desert eagle because it is usually a 2-hit to the chest kill and a 1-shot headshot kill but the deagle fires quicker. I don't really use these weapons in competitive so I just stick with the desert eagle.

Agreed, rather use the P250. Cheaper, better reward, and also a 1 shot kill.

What not to do:

1. Don't Open cases - Really, you won't get anything worth it

+1
2. Don't Buy skins - they loose value
Click to expand...
I sometimes buy the garbage ones with a couple of rands because I don't really care if my R5 skin loses 50c in value :p

Some skins do increase in value though. Overall I feel expensive skins are a waste of time though so I agree with not bothering.

3. Don't Use the R8 Revolver, the Desert Eagle is better. This is a fact.

R8 is better long distance for sure. It is also pretty much 100% accurate while running while the deagle isn't. Different horses for different courses.

4. The M4 without the silencer has better first shot accuracy, but the M4 with the silencer is harder to hear. You'll have to test to see what is better for you. I think the M4A1 might be a 1 shot head shot kill against unarmored players.

They're all 1-shot headshot against unarmoured players.

5. USP-S is a 1 Tap beast in Competitive, so is the P2000. Decision is yours.
Click to expand...
Agreed.

6. Always Pick up the AK, and if there is an AWP, rather pick that up. The AWP in the right hands can win a game, so could an AK.

AK is the superior rifle no doubt. 1-shot headshot even through armour. Far more accurate on tap fire first shot.

You pick up the AK because it is a better rifle than the CT ones. You pick up the AWP because it is expensive and getting it saves your team money. Make sure though that you don't end up with too many AWPs. 2 is fine, 3 is risking you lose the round to a well performed rush. If your team already has 2 AWPs rather leave the AWP on the ground.

P250 also has a quicker draw time (the time it takes to pull out when you hit the button to select it). I use it as my sidearm when I'm AWPing because of this. You can react a lot quicker to a rush. It is also extremely accurate and a 1-shot headshot through armour at close range just like the five-seven but faster to pull out. Long range it's still garbage though :p
 
Think it's time I change my nick & avatar, getting tired of the retarded idiots with the retarded accents going 'julius, julius' :D
 
Urban I think the 14 day hold period is over on Saturday, just double check that you did accept the trade offer.

Also are you practising or did you get a new mouse or something, the last match we played on St. Marc you were exponentially better than a week or two ago.
 
Lol. Practice bru. Also I was in a better mood, possibly not as distracted. Thanks though
 
Played a casual last night. Holy moly. I'll need to get used to the game before I play a compeditive match again. New screen also made things rather interesting. Overall, screen makes a huge difference.

When I started I played on a 19" 1440x900 monitor for almost 6 months before going to a 24" 1080P IPS monitor, you can't believe how tiny your old monitor looks when you get a bigger one.

Doesn't sound good.



You looking to sell then?

:p

Nope, not at all, the plan was all along to use two monitors. Moved over to a 144hz monitor. Huge improvement, despite it not actually running at 144hz yet.

I had a 17" as my main monitor many years ago...still have it but moved to a spare machine that is for storage. Every time I go sit there to do something on the spare machine, it's like working on a postage stamp (compared to the 24" and 27" monitors on the main machine).
 
My first monitor was a 14"CRT. I later salvaged a 21"CRT my dad was throwing away. What an amazing difference that was!

Much better real estate, MUCH higher resolution, better colours, brighter....and all in exchange for growing simple third arm and permanent ringing in the eyes. Not a bad trade.
