i suppose im on an overdose of ritalin or soemthing then, cause i like to randomly switch beteen weapons when i run out of spawn...i just like swtching really fast, and if you watchother people do it, it looks freaky when say they pull out an awp and go to knife and swing, it looks lik ethey are swinging an awp for a second... plus i like the pull-out anims on some weapons like p90, mp5, ak, colt, deagle, and five-seven...it's just someting to do when you are running out of your spawn in the begining of the round...

..and if you do it during a round, like say you start a guy off with a weapon, then swithc to deagle in the middle and finish him off with that, its to conserver ammo (sorta). if other popel come out, you will still have ammo lef tin both of your weapons, not just like 10 or 12 bullets in that mp5 an 7 in that deagle, instead youll have maybe 18 or 19 bullets in your priary, a half a clip in your secondary

i had too much coffee this morning

I do it because it gives me a false sense of confidence... and because I like the sound it makes when you choose a different weapon.

Where can I find Rizzuh's CS server?

Sometimes I think people would try for objectives rather than stats and kills if they just had the team wins on the scoreboard.

I wholeheartedly agree. It'll never happen.



Still, I've yet to hear a good explaination as to why -- since we insist on personal scoring -- there is absolutely NO scoring incentive for hostage rescue or bomb planting/defusal.



Otherwise, removing deaths from the quotient entirely would go a long way. Kill/death ratio is probably the worst indicator of a CS player's skill imaginable.

[Cuban Missile]

Switching between weapons repeatedly is loads of fun, try it fo yourself.



As for taking k:d ratio off the scoreboard, didnt they do that in one of the betas and it led to everyone screaming for it back? I dun remember exactly....In short its a nice idea taking kills of the scoreboard but no way in hell it will happen

[narby]

It was removed breifly, but since the cs community consists mainly of deathmathers they whined until it got put back in.

[p!ge0n]

there should really be a hostages rescued/bomb planted/defused count *for the team*

...maybe we can start a petition for it or something on csn

blah blah blah, save the whales!

The AWP is grossly unbalanced crutch of a weapon regardless of your ping. Can't handle recoil? 1 shot kills. Can't wrap your head around the concept of aiming? 1 shot ANYWHERE kills. STILL have problems hitting something and need a target that takes up 3/4 of your screen? Use the scope, and laugh while you can rack up cheap kills left and right while anyone not using an AWP has a small chance of hitting you with A bullet (that does 15 damage) before suffering a 150 damage armshot.



All the power of a cheapass weapon with all the skill of clicking on a desktop icon. That's just about all MetaMod is good for, disabling the damned thing.

While i'm in a mindless ranting mood, what the hell is with these people who change weapons every 8 seconds. I'm sorry but what is that? An overdose of ritalin?

I watched one guy do this yesterday evening. In the space of one minute he changed weapons 25 times.



Am I the only one who's noticed this? Why do you need to switch so many times?



Perhaps i'm an asshat.

Narby, I do this a lot. I do it out of boredom. I think it looks funny, and I am easily amused. What can I say. I use to like pulling the pin on a nade, then switching to another weapon, because I thought it sounded funny. I did this until I goofed and launched the nade at my team. Never did it again.



AWM. I use it from time to time and to use it effectively you need some skill. there is also a time and place to use it. Aztec is a good map for the AWM. Backalley is not so great.



Scout is very effective for people 3 feet away. You can fire the scout fairly accurate unscoped at that distance.

[narby]

Finally something mouth said I agree with.



Brutas you're right, the scout is a really great weapon. It's powerful enough to be useful without being too bias. It's fairly cheap and the accuracy is just right in zoomed and unzoomed modes - certainly one of my favorite guns.

[Brutus]

Another thing I like about the scout is you can move and shoot and be accurate while if you move and shoot with the AWM you will not hit anything. It also fires faster so if you get rushed by a bunch of people you can just go un-zoomed and start popping off rounds and hope you get lucky. (I am assuming that you are out of pistol rounds.)

awp... its part of the game live with it

and no im not an 'awp whore' i pretty much never use it

[narby]

cheats were ``part of the game'' for almost 2 years. I'm not going to live with those.

[-Aragorn]

There's a bug in statsme. Sometimes if you crouch people disappear...



VERY annoying to say the least..

[Gpig]

I switch alot using q and I don't know why. I'm cutting back slowly.



Awp has always been unfair and back when I started I hated everyone who used it(I'd be 1-20 and had a horrible comp and ran in software mode. I could actually get to about 7-10 with awp so I figured it wasn't very balanced.). Now I don't really care so much because I figure there's always a way to get around it or I can awp myself. The only very popular map that practically seems like a glorified awp map is aztec though. I still can't stand people awping when they're winning 7-0. I do however think that some in some cases the person is just so good with awp I don't really care. On de_countdown I saw one awper rushing and killing us so fast that even though both of us rushed together with ak's he would kill us both. It was a 2 on 1 on like the biggest map in history of mankind which is kinda weird but it's also all very close quarters combat where awp is most vulnerable.



I eventually had to just say it's part of the game and I don't have a server of my own to restrict it on so oh well. Putting stats on servers really pisses me off though.



I love the Wolfenstein scoring. On beach(God's gift to gaming) you'd have to run down the stairs, get the papers, then run back to the top of the stairs where the radio room is. Wolfenstein wouldn't record deaths so you would see team rushes quite often because hey, if you died you only stayed dead for typically only 40 seconds and your death wasn't recorded. Getting a kill gets you one point but the person who grabs the objectives gets like 7 points(and the nazi who returns the objective by killing the guy and running over it also got like 7 points) but if you ended up transmitting it at the radio tower you ended up having like an extra 30 points. I know this scoring system would never be attempted but it would be cool. Like 5 for planting(and a 1,000 bucks extra and 300 for everyone on your team) and 10 for defusing(2,000 bucks and 600 for everyone on your team because defusals are typically harder to accomplish in pubs compared to planting). You could maybe have the option to take off the rewards for clan matches using a variable like Day of Defeat has. I think it would be a pretty cool feature if whatever team won by time the other team got no money whatsoever.



Heh it will never appen but I just wanted to say that.
