Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

They're making the awp only give 50$ per kill in CSGO. The short range guns like the shotguns also give 900$ per kill now. SHITS CRAZY.

[–]Othy 0 points1 point ago

Is there an open beta for GO yet?

[–]npa6600 1 point2 points ago

Nope.

[–]Turknjaydee -2 points-1 points ago

They've put in way too many stupid things. Like the Molotov cocktails... and the stun gun with one hit kills?

Whats all that about?

[–]npa6600 8 points9 points ago

Molotov cocktails are easily one the best additions to the game. They can block off choke points for a seconds, cause people to bunch up.

Stun gun's not in the beta yet, so nobody knows how it works, it's just speculation.

[–]Turknjaydee 0 points1 point ago

True. I suppose from a tactical standpoint they are great.

It just seems to me like they are a bit in between as to whether they want to make a new CS or Remake the old one (again).

[–]npa6600 1 point2 points ago

It seems to me they're making something altogether new. As with any sequel it tries to retain as many of the core mechanics that made the series popular in the first place. While adding enough new things to keep things from getting stale.

The more I play this new update, the more I get to love it. There's a few things which still need fixing, but I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say it's already better than CS:S in it's current state.

Which CS? I agree that the molotov sounds like a solid tactical addition, but coming from a 1.6 perspective, shields, bro.

Also, when they first added the galil/famas (also known as just the famas, because screw galils) OUTRAGE!!! CT'S GET A CHEAP, SUPER ACCURATE GUN? But now they're a solid part of gameplay.

[–]CHERRYY 1 point2 points ago

Both 1.6 and Source. To be completely honest, I don't really care about the weapons nearly as much as the feel of the movement and shooting. Weapon prices and stuff like that is easy to fix. So far from what I've tried it's definitely not quite there yet, but it already feels better than Source so I have good hopes.

[–]FaultyWires -1 points0 points ago

Sweet. As long as it feels more like CS 1.6 than TF2 (err, CS:S) I think it'll be great. Also smaller heads.

[–]CHERRYY 0 points1 point ago

Have you played the beta? It is definitely more Source like in terms of feel and graphics of course, which I don't really mind, but as long as they make it a great game it doesn't matter to me if it's exactly like 1.6 or not.

[–]needformadness 0 points1 point ago

The Cocktails are great man, it's pretty much the end of campers and noobs that love hiding in corners. Anyhow, imagine de_aztec, that bridge, and then the Ts throw a motherfucking fire bottle at the CTs camping spot. Win.

[–]dubmau5 -4 points-3 points ago

Wtf... hopefully they take that shit out. Sounds dumb.

[–]VideoScourge 5 points6 points ago

[–]ediboyy 1 point2 points ago

Nope. this one made me actually chuckle

[–]worker32 1 point2 points ago

Better call in an airstrike then buy an AWP.

[–]xStimorolx 1 point2 points ago

I play Counter Strike: Source a lot .. on a competitive level..

Yet I don't quite get it .. Anyone care to explain this one for me :L ?

[–]Ejvind 1 point2 points ago

Not sure what OPs on about, but it's referencing the "ALIENS" meme.

EDIT; I'm guessing he's saying if you don't know where the bomb is, assume bombsite B? Fuck knows.

[–]lvsheep 2 points3 points ago

I believe he is referencing hiding the bomb under the barrel at A, like this.
