Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Quote from leplubodeslapin

i think this isn't a good idea. It was not a good idea either with Seaside (which already was in the first operation).

Valve operations should promote new maps, not twice the same map. I guess they are doing it for de_cache (which was the main reason why lots of people bought the bravo pass), but they should simply pay volcano and fmpone and add it definitively to the game ...

Cache is the worst map of the pack for me (sorry guys), the bomb sites are honestly not great (they feel awkward in their layout), the noise on the textures makes it incredibly hard to pick people out, the rotation between A and B for the Ts is terrible. Just honestly don't enjoy that map at all, which really infuriated me when so many servers were running it because they were being told it was the "pro" map (even though it follows none of the principles of the official maps that people have been playing for years).

Voted for agency, favela, chinatown, ali and siege.

Congrats to all Mapcore members!

I just got a Gold Bravo coin by playing Agency 10 times in a row in mm.

Such a gooooood cs map. I want to say prob the best hostage map next to office. I'll be sure to post the highlights from my matches!

After playing 10 Match Making games on Cs_Agency, I decided to make a video.

Here she be.

Sweet video General Vivi! I might actually link that if I ever need to showcase Agency in video form.

Dear friends, I just hit Legendary Eagle for the first time!

Under my wifes skin creator account...

*Squeeee!*

I like how we can now roll grenades, that should be helpful in some situations!

That change to grenade throwing sounds sweet!

wow, what an update

HOLY SHIT I CAN PUT STICKERS ON MY GUN! Life changing shit right there, guys.

Just gave it a quick spin on my dinner hour with some of the guys in the office and the underhand grenade throw is a very welcomed addition! Was nice to be able to drop a molotov on the floor whilst retreating without having to look at the floor to throw it onto the ground.

The Aug fires much faster now when aiming down the sights and is still deadly accurate. Loved it!

Didn't really notice much difference in the accuracy when firing whilst moving, but I'm sure one of you pros will be able to tell the difference.

Why did I have to go on vacation!!!!!!

Those stickers make me feel so white and it's wonderful.

Urgh...

Was in a competitive match last night and we ended up having an appalling start to the game and went 0-4 down. Then a guy on our team start complaining that we're all shit and just kept shouting down the mic when only one of us was left in a 1v1. He then kept rushing mid on D2 not shooting and just dying instantly on purpose and whilst he was dead he kept telling the other team where we were in the chat box. We pulled it back to 6-4 to us and then he just started team attacking and flashing us.

So annoying. If he'd have just played we'd probably would have won but instead he decided to troll us and lose on purpose. It ruins the game when you get people like this. Tried reasoning with him but he wasn't having it. Tried kicking him and someone kept voting no. -_-

Blah no wonder I've gone down a rank

brb quitting my job to go make stickers for guns in vidya games

Run at a wall and fire, now walk at a wall and fire, now run at a wall and tap S to stop and then fire.

the spray when just running at a wall is fucking huge. i mean i honestly think the guns have Blunderbuss-like barrels.
