when do we get small phones again? Also wtf 2560p display who the hell needs that? why not use less battery/graphics resources? It's not like any app is going to use that resolution for anything but high dpi text/images, and any game will run like hot garbage.

I have large hands, and I think that 5 inch phones are a bit too big, also I don't need cargo pants to carry a normal sized phone.

Also wtf why Nexus Player? Didn't the Nexus Q tank enough already? Also I'm pretty sure every other android "console" tanked.

When I was recently pissing about, I forgot to mention that it's very annoying that they removed granularity for the map selection screen (in casual).

I'm sure it's been like this for long now, but boy it's annoying!

Also I think that in general the Mac client is buggy, for both the game and Steam, some stuff has been there at least a year, and they didn't fix shit :-|

Yeah, Mac client is a bit fucked, but they're focusing on the OpenGL side of things atm, post bugs over here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/…ffensive/issues

With the new lower res textures, the bricks at A, and the wood walls at mid aren't looking so hot. I'd double the res on those, then it's pretty much perfect.

People were jizzing over Museum in a tiny CS:GO mapping community, so after seeing the article about it here, I joined up and started taking a giant shit all over mapcore.

I might be the only one sad about this update. I turned all of my music off due to not being able to hear people when the bomb was planted.

Maybe allow us to turn off certain tunes? I would love to turn most of the music back on. Just not the bomb.

They did that, just lower the volume/turn the ones you don't want to zero in audio options. Now just if I could get a music offer thing (holy shit is Valve's buying system convoluted as hell).

Hoooly shit Valve needs to stop being Valve and moderate the damn community. Seems that every time I try playing MM I just get matched with assholes/smurfs/trolls.

name is making me think

I like how they're blankly staring at the "$150" thing

I found a few weird spots in the nav (or DM spawns)

That happened, and there was a spot right here where players could spawn and be stuck:

You've found nothing abut this questions because the game mode is 5on5 & 2 bombsites, if you are going to do it differently it will be a different game mode and will be up to players to accept it. Knowing the cs community I'd say they will all whine like a child and pronounce bad words.

Imo, if you want to innovate create a good ctf/zone control map, that will have a bigger audience.

P.S I disagree with you all, it is possible to make a 5on5 map with 3 bombsites which is balanced (v.g bombspots with one entrance, big cover, far bombsite, different heights etc).

I feel like it would change the metagame in a very negative way. The game currently is about trying to find a weakness in CT defenses, but with three sites (especially with fewer entrances and such) the game could easily swing to be all about simply bombarding a bombsite.

Was watching some gameplay, the audio is flat out jarringly good. Like multiple times I actually had to check if something was going on in the room. I sort of want to pick this up, though I'm not a big horror guy.

does anyone else get a discodoor here when it's shot? Might be a local GPU issue as I have my digital vibrancy quite high.

this just happens to that door model for some odd reason.

Quote from blackdog

Ok but that's simply broken, and it was probably a problem not confined to the client i guess(?)... most definitely not because of the UI.

(also how is showing you your inventory selling items?).

Not sure what you mean?[Blocked Image: https://scontent-a-mxp.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10561647_10152432476585773_8685300053737652408_n.jpg?oh=9b4f01a5ec48c13baa7cdae6db9a4c8b&oe=54C34B16] are you saying that's what you get when you start the game? I thought you meant joining a game. that's not supposed to happen.

I don't like "coping", I'm not a fan of "good enough". I think that a game with such a heritage and follow should have it better. I think that getting into a game (which is what I want, but clearly Valve doesn't because they want you to spend on items) was much easier and quick before.

Anyway I couldn't play yday, 200+ ping, totally unresponsive. Plus haven't had any mouse cursor in the community server window, couldn't browse anything different.

Many EU players literally couldn't play community servers or gamemodes other competitive for two months until the update. The previous system was broken as fuck (also how is showing you your inventory selling items?).

Holy shit huge update. Tagging is p. dece now, movement made more 1.6-y without the horrible parts, bullet impacts made easier to see.

Most importantly though, Valve removed the Radius Culling shortcut in Hammer.

Looks so good! Can't wait to play it. One thing is kinda bugging me though:

The scene looks flat in a weird Quake 3 pro settings way (looks a little fullbright too). Maybe putting some green light from that wall could make it feel a bit less flat. Also the roof could use less light going to it.

Game updated, waiting for a match to be found.

Listen guys, you play often: do you agree with me that the UI of this game is ridiculously convoluted for what it needs to do? I just want to play and first thing i'm presented with the loadout screen... I'm so much annoyed by everything this game has other than the pure gameplay (ugly animations for weapons, questionable choices in modeling, menu-UI).

It's better than not being able to play at all. Plus "Searching for game" on the other side of the screen isn't that confusing.

Help, it's too hard to choose what to vote for, it's all so good!

I keep seeing this, and I want it to succeed real bad, but I feel like it's trying to bank on "it's quake 3 but not" too hard, especially with the movement demo. It sort of scares off players less familiar with those concepts.

On the other hand, I absolutely love the look of it, and it looks like movement is super smooth and fun. And holy hell did an arena shooter need actual matchmaking, I might have to back it.

That map editor though, it looks real messy, and I'm not so sure about the whole multiplayer thing. Honestly, I'd love to see PETI from portal 2 made into an editor for this game, it seems like it would work well.

!!! CS:GO is on Linux finally!

Looks like frag video editors just got their hands on real cameras
