heytred Posted June 4, 2013 I'm currently playing CS:GO and trying to get the hang of things. I'm being 'coached' by a friend who's played for a really long time, which helps, but there's still a pretty steep learning curve. It's tough, but that's what I enjoy about it. It's nice to have a game where I can't just go out and naturally dominate a la Halo/COD. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
careh Posted June 4, 2013 There's a lot to get used to with CS and it doesn't help that most people have been playing one or more of the titles for X number of years. I'm currently teaching a friend the ropes in CSGO - matchmaking has been really useful for keeping things challenging but still fun for all of us. The best resource I've found so far for picking up and explaining the nuances of the new game have been the videos by the team Curse NA. GO has improved so much over the recent months and it's really refreshing to see innovation as the top teams adapt to the new game. I do get the old twinge of nostalgia thinking about 1.6 from time to time though; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAsRJRHD9a4 Quote Share this post Link to post
sbk Posted June 4, 2013 Been playing the game on and off since 06 and I still suck ass. I do believe my brother could have went pro if he found a good team though, srs he was very good. While I moved onto xbox playing halo and cod in 08, he kept to cs and became a beast. Quote Share this post Link to post

Me and my buddy Myzzz are relatively new and have only been playing the last few days, however our friend L3o who is teaching us to play is quite good. We could use another player.

sbk Posted June 5, 2013 that's what appeals to me about CS, it's very unforgiving i also like the 1 life per round mechanic what is everyone's favorite map? i'm a fan of nuke and dust2 obviously, office is fun for dicking around Dust2, Train, and Inferno. I find nuke way too ct sided to enjoy as much as other maps. Love deag rushing Ivy on train though, which reminds me - I wish the deag was so sh*t on csgo. Makes me very sad.

careh Posted June 5, 2013 Semi-finals of the last cup for the ESL Summer Season kick off in around 3 hours (6pm GMT): English Stream Link Event info; http://en.csgo.raidcall-emsone.com/summer-2013/cup4/ First Match; Semi 1 LDLC.com vs. ESC Gaming Second Match; Semi 2 CPH Wolves vs. Virtus.pro Third Match; Grind Final bo3 Extremely solid teams most of which are in good form recently. EDIT; starting! Quote Share this post Link to post
sbk Posted June 6, 2013 Played a csgo matchmade game, went 32-5. This would be pretty fun with a team of 5. The match was on dust2, there was a round when I was on t side and I was pushing through dub doors to ct spawn and a dude comes out of lower and starts shooting me in the back, I do a swift 180 and take him out and my teammates start praising how good I am. Feelsgoodman. edit: just played another game and went 45-15. Had to carry sooo damn hard. when the game was over and my team came back to win, the kids on the other team asked me if I've ever seen the sun light lol. Little do they know I play like once every six months. Quote Share this post Link to post
Godly Posted June 6, 2013 I played CS GO on the Xbox other then that I have never played one, but I have been watching twitch streams with all the tournaments they have. The game looks awesome at a competitive level and some of those guys are sick. Quote Share this post Link to post
careh Posted June 6, 2013 Screenshot looking down middle from top mid Screenshot looking at T spawn from A apartments First images of the de_mirage developer remake released, it's insane how different it looks from the community made iterations - more details in the coming days. For those aren't aware of the map, de_mirage aka de_cpl_strike was a map created specifically for tournament play. The current version in CSGO looks and plays like this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-sGdruGg3Y Quote Share this post Link to post

heytred Posted June 16, 2013 I'm currently playing CS:GO pretty religiously, however I am relatively new (just started playing about 2 weeks ago). I'm only a Gold Nova II but a few of my friends (Master Elite's and the like) think I have a good amount of potential. If anyone in here wants to play, feel free to add me on steam.

Teapot Posted June 26, 2013 Do most play on PC? I'd assume so, but I did buy CS:GO for console. Was a pretty easy transition because CS was my first competitive game on a PC with mouse and keyboard. As a console gamer for my whole life, it wasn't hard to adjust to a controller. The aim mechanics help too I'm still a noob but I'd love to play matches with people who communicate. If you guys enjoy CS, have you ever tried shadowrun? Quote Share this post Link to post

I just have to redownload it. It's not as fun as it is on PC but it's still something to play every now and then. Plus having no Aim assist on console can really just mess you up if you're not used to it haha. Quote Share this post Link to post
