CSGO Sticky thread

Will see if I can...I'm loadshed today and not on Saturday so Sunday might be off again.

And I've been playing Doom and Serious Sam BFE mostly. Stupid Valwf.
 
Hi guys,

Just a quick question in general. Those of you that play CSGO on a regular basis, to what extent do configure the game to suit your needs to perform to the best of your ability?

Do you ever tweak any of following:
a) Scaling Mode - Black Bars / Stretched
b) Aspect Ratio to coincide when using BB or STR

I know that in-game video settings also play a huge role if one prefers having the highest FPS possible, set everything to low (if one doesn't have the hardware to play everything set to their highest).

With regards to mouse settings, obviously sensitivity plays a huge role and DPI settings.

Anything else that I'm not taking into account that can "enhance" your performance (from a hardware and game settings perspective) when playing CSGO?

Most people are under the illusion that the only worthy settings are those used by the pros, but the settings used by the pros are rather diverse.

The two top-rated CSGO players:

prosettings.net

ZywOo CS2 settings, crosshair & config

Team Vitality ZywOo settings and setup, including CFG, crosshair, viewmodel, sensitivity and more. Always updated for CS2.
prosettings.net prosettings.net

prosettings.net

s1mple CS2 settings, crosshair & config

BC.Game s1mple settings and setup, including CFG, crosshair, viewmodel, sensitivity and more. Always updated for CS2.
prosettings.net prosettings.net

As you can see it is not quite the same. Mouse acceleration is even making a comeback.

As with everything, it is meta, but play with the settings which suit you the best and then you need to train. People who switch their resolution all the time don't improve. The whole thing with the resolution and graphics was to improve aim and visibility, and not necessarily the FPS.
 
Anyone else frustrated with csgo lately?

MM is up to ****. Either you get bulldozed on comps or you dominate the other side.

Wargames gets trolled by 3 haxors regularly especially scout maps. Obvious instadeath walling. If you ask me thet are paid bots trying to ruin the game and drive players to other fps's.

I did the Arms Race weekly and I must say the community is getting better. The thing with MM, it is tough when you solo as you there will always be comm issues, and you need to be at least 3 players who can organise some structure.

I haven't won an MM in a while, and every time I played, I was coached. People who play with me know what I think about being coached, I know when a player has leadership qualities and when they don't. Yes, the MM is unbalanced at the moment. Too many high-end alts on the low end, too many boosted players at the top, and then due to our low matchmaking numbers we don't get balanced games either way.

Many adult kiddies out and about nowadays in CS. Do my weeklies and then the ***** kick you on the last round.

For me the issue with CS isn't really the unbalanced MM games, its the toxic community. While it was always a tad bit toxic for MM, as of late it has become revolting. Every time I play its a combination of people coaching like you said, or raging because a person gets killed and can't clutch a round. The only enjoyable game I had was when I was in a lobby with cheaters blatantly spin botting. Playing solo is a terrible experience. Guess I'll see when I have time again if the game is better or worse than it was last time I played.

I usually don't solo queue and prefer to play with like minded reasonable people. I mostly add friends of friends if we had a nice team/game. That said my experience going solo has been mostly positive. Sometimes you get an annoying player or ppl being salty in text chat but its the minority (minors?). I'm mg1 and mostly get match with similar ranks. Perhaps the low silvers are nooby teens and le's+ take things too serious? MG for life! :cool:

Issue is there is really no reason to be toxic in csgo, especially not on MM. Playing against lower ranks is also not fun. I feel terrible playing against lower ranks. Can't rank up playing solo either, so its a weird situation. Game put me against Nova's one game then against global's the next. Playing Globals is different to paying nova's. It is a missive adjustment. Globals are in a way predictable, nova's are random.
 
Two great settings that got me from MG to DMG so far;
Clean player names YES
Mute enemy team YES
You don't get put off by salty/toxic chat and profiles pictures/names don't trigger you.
Can also suggest to keybind "bind "MWHEELDOWN" "clutch_mode_toggle" to mute your own team when they talk too much.
 
All I know is my age is starting to show. 3 Years ago I could still play FPS like my early teens and twenties, but now I am an honoured silver carried by Supremes. Now I know why @Neoprod quit :crying:

Not really age, the game is weird. Once you stop playing for a month it takes a considerable amount of time to get back to your old level.

My prime days ended in 2015, since then I have been in a decline. Any FPS game, and never have I cheated in a multiplayer game to get in front of my opponents. I can still rock RTS, just because I can still click.

Game sense alone cannot win 1v1's. Odd though, since the Operation's stat display it shows my average 1v1 win rate in competitive mode at 80%, 2v2 at 30%. Still okay, I guess, but I am simply not good enough for my current rank any more.
