    Oh the internet was decent and I spent I think 5h playing after work and then late at night ?

    Gosh such a good feeling after all this time!

    Played mostly operation maps to try stuff I've never seen, unfortunately there's a clear inclination toward Blackgold and Thrill, then Austria came up frequently, so that's about what I could try properly. These are all so good for Casual. Didn't really like Insertion. Happened to play a Competitive match on Shipped, but was as well first time I ever played the map so wasn't that fun.

    Really enjoyed the other Competitive match played on Mirage, we were down like 5-0 or worse and we managed to regain the T side winning by 2, then increased slightly on the CT :) very happy and surprised with myself as I closed 4-5 rounds on my own on 1v2-1v3.

    Question: is it possible to collect weapon skins by picking up dropped weapons?

    Also do skins alter the way bullet hit? I picked up an "Elite" AK and headshotted two in a row while moving… I was just suppressing not hoping to kill anyone lol.

    Is kinda beautiful in those blocky textures

    Yes, agreed. Really glad I was born there and that so many people appreciate it.

    The rich history we have created all this contrast and different environments/architectures etc…

    on the other hand it caused so many fractures, the population is not united and the result is nobody looks after the treasures we have :(

  • MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 5.0

    Do testers need to download maps in advance or server would distribute like I'm used from good old days?

    Just tried to join and is stuck on "Initializing world" with a bare minimum progress bar visible, and not moving.

    Ping was 112 when I tried to join :/ but on other public servers was indicating as good as 42 from the browser

    Subscribed _manor anyway and retried. I see the server full, but opening the detail window says not responding

  • [RELEASED] Manor

    I think this looks interesting. I miss some good de_chateau, so much I have been thinking of doing a similar map since CSGO came out.

    Bit weird the downward arcs, never seen anything like that but need to see how it fits when more detailing is in.

    You testing on mapcore servers? I've been totally out the testing since I moved here, my connection is terrible (shared+wifi) but recently was decent enough, I had a couple sessions on DoI, I was thinking of trying CS again.

    Question: Is making a fully indoor map (ie. no sky, all bounded) okay? I've never seen it done before...

    cs_workout is fully indoor and has been included in the operations ;) Agency as well I would argue is an indoor map, as the spawn for CT is not really a big play area (in my experience players were all dead before getting back)

    of course there's loads of vertical space so doesn't feel claustrophobic, you can lob nades etc

  • What have you watched recently?

    You seen Interstellar? And Gravity?

    Also, Life is not like it seems from the trailer but still sci-fi-horror fun.

    i just went through Better Call Saul S3 almost always two episodes at a time. Season finale a bit underwhelming but otherwise I really enjoyed it.

    Dunno if I said already but seen Wonder Woman and was a pretty decent movie. Not as good as reviews are saying to me, but a honest 7/10.

    All true. Although I would imagine there is some interest growing for 4k+HDR?

    I mean I got a 1080p tv almost two years ago, after seeing the 4k+HDR demo in the shop, I was thinking I would upgrade.

    I won't as like you say there's no really content, I would be happy enough with games supporting it tho :)

    There's a proper gameplay video for Hunt

    Since we don't have a container for this kind of thing, I thought we might as well?

    Was tempted to post this video in Quantum Break's topic, but there are several very enjoyable series on YT like the "All your history" so thought we might as well collect it all :)
