CSGO Sticky thread

Valve has nerfed the Tec 9 so badly I would rather use a Glock.

How many games do you play a day? I usually play 2 a day.
I prefer to play before 10PM because the late games often have tired/irritable players that also calls less.
 
2-4 games depending on what time we play our first game and how the games go.

We usually play from about 9 till midnight. But we don't normally have to deal with randoms. Only Prodigy getting grumpy

What do you mean with "randoms".
 
Aaah, I see. Yeah, have mostly been solo queuing the last six years. Because I only play Dust 2 mostly.
Would love to have an organised clan with strategies studied beforehand.
Like for instance, say we go Dust 2 short each man knows what he should do.
One smoke catwalk. First guy at short stairs have AK or SMG with scopes that follow.
Second smoke is thrown from short onto site A.
Site is rushed and one AK player stay behind to guard short.
Getting onto A just ez, with at least a plant.

Dust 2 is a terrible map. For the most part its one of the most popular maps so its more likely that you'll find cheaters on Dust 2. Most clans play more than Dust 2, probably even skipping Dust 2. If you play with Fulcrum and co. you'll see that they usually exclude Dust 2 and prefer to play maps like Cache, Train, Overpass, Inferno (some great stuff are said to have happened on this map), Mirage and Nuke.

I don’t dislike any map, it is only that de_dust2 is the beginning of the end for most players. Even lower ranked players who live on dust may rival better players who play every map in the rotation. It is quite obvious why Valve dropped it from the official rotation, and there is a very good reasons maps are a pick of the draw for competitive players.

When we queue, we select all of the official maps and once we played a map we cross it off our daily rotation. Simple really.

If you are to play best out of 3 and you only know Dust, please don’t rage quit when you are unable to play on another map.

Currently, Train is the new official Dust. Players are getting very good on that map, but it is because it is now the only map they wish to play.

Some people don't like Nuke, because of the self-believed unbalanced starting points, but it has never stopped T-side from winning either.
 
We have opened up to dust 2 lately. But because we have not played it as much it's not a great map for us. As far as team tactics go... We don't really have much.

Not sure why dust 2 is the only map that doesn't make you feel ill. Have you tried using vibrance? Maybe it's a colour thing? How is mirage for you? (not a favorite of ours either).
 
Also another thing to mention, if you play third party services, its very unlikely that you'll play Dust.

Conclusion & Recommendation
Click to expand...
Over the past year, Glorious have been asking gamers about their ideal gaming mouse on various internet forums, and with the Model O they’ve released their first attempt at making the perfect gaming mouse after taking on that feedback.

This mouse has everything that mouse enthusiasts have been getting excited about in recent times; it’s got a super lightweight shell (with holes in it), an extremely flexible cable, responsive buttons, great stock mouse feet that offer a smooth and consistent glide, and it even has RGB elements. In a sense it’s a ‘greatest hits’ compilation of all recent exciting innovations in the mouse industry, and that’s amazing.

This will be the perfect gaming mouse for a lot of gamers out there (and I suspect it’ll become my personal main gaming mouse for the foreseeable future as well) and it’s hard (if not impossible) for me to find anything that’s objectively bad about this product. While there are some teething problems here when it comes to quality control I didn’t find those issues to be limiting my performance, and since this mouse is the first commonly available mouse to combine all of these individual aspects (namely the lightweight design, fantastic cable, and great stock feet) in one product I think it’s absolutely deserving of the Staff’s Choice award.

If you’re going for one (which I can definitely recommend) then do check it for manufacturing issues before committing to fully using it, but as a whole this is one of the greatest gaming mice that’s ever been released. I can’t wait to see what Glorious has in store for us in the future.

Better than a G403? I mean I like my G403, but the rubber got dirty over time and its impossible to clean the rubber.

There are many mice better than the G403. To add, going by good 'competitive. mice, the G403 is probably your most affordable.

That Glorious Model O is receiving really and really good reviews across the board. I have never seen this happen before, maybe back when the first Razor Blackadder released, but then people realised it's popularity hanged on the balance of influencers.

I have picked up one negative although it is a bit nitpicky, the Model O uses the Omron D2FC-F-7N 20M switch which is currently a mouse manufacturers greatest annoyance in regard to returns. Logitech already switched over to the Omron D2FC-F-7N 50M, and Zowie (BenQ) refuses to use Omron. The 20M is however lighter than the 50M so I guess Glorious had their reasons and maybe a improved button design to improve the longevity of the switch. Btw, the G403 also use the Omron D2FC-F-7N 20M switch.

The PixArt PMW3360 is probably the best 'stock' sensor on the market. The 3366 is just a custom design thereof and the HERO is a power friendly version of the 3366. All the same really, except for the HERO which has greatly improved the efficiency of wireless mice, Logitech's trump card in the market.

That Model O is such a hybrid copy of Zowie and Finalmouse it isn't even funny. Just wait until Logitech copies that shell design for lightness and the shoelace cable. Those cables are nice though, it feels wireless, the reason I wanted a Finalmouse, but they are far too expensive.
