strat: cs_assault

[-Dice]

I agree, mouth. It seems like on most pubs someone forgot to set "mp_teamwork" to "1".



In other news, the band members stopped by my house today to beat me up.

It's the fault of every single player without my nickname.

Follow the guy in front is the single most obvious, basic and effective strategy ever and due to the linear nature of most maps its impossible not to stick with your team mates and back them up at choke points. But yet 90% of players always seem to go off on they're own exploring. N00bs keep trying to open the doors that are just part of the wall textures and older n00bs just run off ahead as fast as they can to catch the frags.

mouth, it's not the map that's to blame, it's the people that play it.

It is, in fact, the map. The CTs have jack shit for a chance to actually complete the objective of rescuing the hostages, even if they do work as a team. By the time you actually get to the hostages, either your team is dead or the T team is dead. The smartest thing the CTs CAN do is camp outside the building like the Ts do, but the elimination of round draws penalizes them for that.

Have to disagree, I love assault as CT (I default to CT on assault). It's very challenging, yes, but with voice comm I think the strategy is right on: a coordinated assault is very rewarding and effective.

I was referring to normal people, not total masochists.



I default to pissed off on cs_assault. Let's face it, the only way you're going to win as a CT on Assault is the same way you'd win as a CT on Siege; the Ts would have to be deaf keyboarders with cerebral palsy. Is it a challenge? Yes, but so is playing against a cheater. Is it a competition of skill? No. I like games and maps where it's an issue of "which side is more cohesive?" instead of "which side is going to get impatient and run outside first?".

I disagree, mouth. A well-concerted CT rush with flashbangs and diversionary smoke will wipe out a disorganized T defense every time. This goes for any map. It boils down to a competition of communication; the map simply presents different obstacles.

[Dangki]

An organised T team will always beat an equal CT team on assault, siege is slightly more equal ground.

[rizzuh]

mouth, CTs win quite often when I play. I've heard many people say that the map favors CTs. I think those people are idiots, but the level of imbalance doesn't compare to siege, in my opinion.



A good terrorist team in assault always gets impatient and cocky, CTs can exploit that after a few black eyes. Assault's one of my favorite maps.

Once I ran outside the building as a T with an AWP 10 seconds after the round started and I sniped 8 CTs in under 5 seconds. Why? Well, the CTs were running in a straight, single-file line, obviously trying to rush the front gate in a precise, well-organized strike. I took down like 3 CTs per bullet because they were so cramped next to the crates.

LOL...you know you're a geek when the funniest thing you've heard all day is a CS anecdote! Tee hee!



Oh God I'm lonely

[Spike Spiegel]

I have a strategy for the CT's on assault: Don't fucking play assault if you aren't a T.

I was playing on a UK2.net server and that actually happened.

[k1nk0s]

I was playing cs_assault and It is so much different than cs_assault_upc (in my servers map rotation)



P.S. I just donated to Csnation but i forgot to put my username in it. Rizzuh, i sent an email to you about it. I included the transaction id too.

[Gpig]

assault_upc is great

[k1nk0s]

I mean really, it is very different than the original assault. There are now 2 CT Towers. Alot better vent system. (espcecially where the Hostages are) I like how you can go under the highway ramp...THe side doors are really great too...2 of them....yumm.....instead of 1....
