CSGO Sticky thread

Guys which ISPs do you play on? Just a few would help

When Mweb is good it is good, probably the best. Currently, they need to explain what is really going on with the local gaming servers. AH is okay, but average, at least it stays average. I can’t comment on other ISP accounts, but a IS business account is more or less the same as the AH account.

I'm talking CSGO here. The WoW players that I know praises VOX... mostly it seems to be a geographical thing.

Lol, that is the same as buying an auto sniper. Dumb. Hackers will love it though… It is still not a suitable weapon, and the Negev is not really that good anymore at tap shooting.

Did you click to show the spoiler?

The Negev now costs $2000 for a limited time.

Yes, but to spam doors on Dust is nothing less than wasting time and money, even at $2000. Really, what good is that weapon in comp? In casual, everyone generally does their own thing, so the weapon is viable there. A player with a M4, AK or UMP will kill a player with a Negev in less than a moment. Then again, it largely depends on the average rank... I see many Nova players still buying Bizon’s on armour rounds, throwing money away.

Here are the weird case of issues I have when playing comp:

AH : low ping in game, but can't join using AH since it puts me on American servers, so I have to join using one ISP then reconnect, huge pain.
Telkom: erratic ping all round (50-300ms)
CrystalWeb : low ping in measurement but as soon as I join +-200ms. Although only tried last night and AH was also high.

Seriously never had so many issues playing any other game online :/

Buy nothing pistol round, win, next round two people buy armor and two buy Negev's they drop for them, one goes long doors and one goes B plat.

Download MM Server Picker

It allows you to block other regions except Johannesburg and Cape Town.

It is still a gamble, but yah, I know what you are getting at. In my opinion it is still a noob strat to be played amongst noobs. Yes, at $2000 it opens a new strat without impacting the economy too much, but a player with better positioning and aiming will pop that player in no time. The Negev spray starts at random so lucky headshots may be on the table.

In other news, some people believe that Valve may consider introducing armour and helmet as separate buy options. This is not going to work, though I can understand why some people will demand this...
 
Apparently, my sound issue is due to my audio cache. They say you can resolve it like this,

snd_updateaudiocache
snd_rebuildaudiocache

my issue is strange. I don’t hear any nade sound, no pop sounds, no blast sounds, not even the bounce. The AWP sound is silent. I hear round music which is disabled, incl. the ‘ready’ sound is missing. I had a similar issue when HRTF came out, which was positional, but that was promptly resolved by Valve.

Going to try the above commands.

It's cool...we can tell there's someone new :(

:p

My aim was all over the place last night...not a fan of the cold. It's not even that cold yet and my hands are already clumsy.

Honestly, I know I have said it, but I enjoy playing CS:GO with you guys because I enjoy the teamwork and camaraderie that we have going as a team.

Honestly, I would love to play Battlegrounds with you guys. It really is a lot of fun, the squad aspect is the best part of it and the feeling of winning is so much more rewarding than winning a CS:GO Comp.

Anyway, I am fixing CS so we can play again, but I really recommend getting Battlegrounds :)

It didn't resolve my sound issues...

But, I notice that the 4/12/2017 update included,

[AUDIO]
– Volume now decays smoothly over distance, instead of by discrete steps.
– Adjusted HRTF audio mix to more closely match sound quality without HRTF.
– Added snd_hrtf_distance_behind (default 100), which allows HRTF to more closely match the perceived direction of a sound source as seen by the actual player behind a monitor.
– Fixed a bug where music volume would be set to the maximum level while accepting a lobby invitation.

something went balls up at my side. I removed my autoexec audio mods, still nothing...

I don't see that working...that gun gets accurate after a few seconds by which time you may already be dead. And if someone was spraying early to make it accurate, their ammo would last 30 seconds.

It's also unlikely to be a rush for the T's in their first buy. I try to peek doors or tunnels but not commit...nade damaged too often :(
