It's a new visual that actually fits the weapon and makes it harder to shoot while moving. The CoD comparisons are completely off base.
Yeah you're right.
The previous zoom didn't make sense but I guess everyone was used to it so no one complained.

The lazy look of it is what compares it to CoD, I think. I've never fired a gun nor do I really care about real life accuracy of guns in games, but I do know that when you look through a scope, you put your eye up to it. You don't just shove it roughly in front of your face while your eyes magically zoom in. It's still fun to shoot that way, but when you think about it seems really silly. CSGO had already fixed (somewhat, you could still see part of the gun in the corner, but not as blatantly as CSS) the traditional magical zoom, now we get more strangeness. But it separates it from the sniper scopes.
And yes, bring back the MP5. Even if I only use smg's on the 2nd round and occasionally when I'm doing bad, I want to see what it would look like in CSGO.

Sports marksman here. The display in CSGO is fairly accurate; you don't put your face/eyeball too close to the scope, the recoil would smack it right in your face. I made that mistake quite a few times.
You would be right with sniper scopes that provide rubberized buffer though.

It's not really like the accuracy of the true to life weapon is of ultimate importance but it falls in line more with the awp and scout scopes. It was just a weird zoom to begin with and I'm sure people will adjust to it.
Aside from that controversy and other bugs I think it was a another good update. I like the new gun but it won't replace my p250 that's my default pistol pretty much.

Really?

Yeah, but areas around the scope wouldn't be zoomed. I've seen maybe one game where only the scope is zoomed, rather than the entire screen. And it actually looked pretty good, so it would be good if more games did it.
Does anyone currently prefer the M4A4 to the A1-S?

The M4A1 is an amazing weapon if used correctly, but I prefer the M4A4 just for the increased bullet reserve. I can deal with 20-round mags, but only 40 in reserve is hard to adjust to.

I prefer the M4A4. I like the extra ammo and I like to prefire a lot.
M4A4 is my favorite weapon in the game. The look, the sound, the feel, plus I need lots of ammo because I like to suppress to cover teammate's movement and whatnot.

I like the accuracy and stealth of the M4A1-S. It's been my go to since it was released. I like the m4 as well but given the choice M4A1-S.

I used to have massive frame drops when starting the game, but solved that by unsubscribing from all my map workshop downloads.

I've been getting them after this last patch, which is a shame because the AUG-breaking one actually improved performance for me by a lot.
I was playing on Overpass, shot at a guy back in the corner of the drainage ditch by B, and my framerate sunk down to the 20s and stayed there or lower for the next couple maps.
Yeah it's happened a couple times where it plummets to teens or single digits and is constantly stuttering. Usually it only lasts a few seconds but on one occasion I had to restart. Only started happening a day or two ago.

Yeah, I think Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is one of the few games that handles scopes "correctly".
You are still zooming with your eyes (not the scope) in CSGO with this new "aim down the sight"-thingy.

The new crosshair is super annoying. Why Valve, why.

Dude this SUCKED. This caused me to rank down because it happened after the first round in a competitive match. I just honestly couldnt play and it gave me a headache to look at so I had to quit out. In fact I had to verify my game cache to get it working again.
It said that one file couldn't be verified and it redownloaded it. Very lame.

There was two small updates today. Can't really find a change log though.

I thought it was great but the first operation only had casual mode. In really interested to see how some of the better payback maps play in competitive.
Goddamn Valve, why the stupid scopes. I can't believe it. It adds nothing to the gameplay, only obscures your view.
And no, it doesn't make you less accurate while moving, because the crosshair in CS doesn't show where you're actually shooting at, and that's fine. Its a different philosophy than the ADS bullshit, so don't go there.

I think it's just RNG isn't it?
Just had the most amazing game on Office. We started on CT and they were rushing every round and just generally out-shooting us all over the place. Personally I was having one of my worst games in a while with a kdr of something like 1:3. Heavily demoralized, we got to halftime with the score 10-5 in their favor. They won pistol round and the following round, bringing it to 12-5, when a team mate suggested we all buy sawed-offs. Now, I haven't used sawed-offs much (I usually only force-buy shotguns when I can't afford anything else which basically means using the Nova) so maybe this is more obvious to some of you than it was to me, but HOLY SHIT those things do some incredible damage at close/mid range. We mounted one of the most amazing comebacks I've ever seen in CS. Flooding CT routes with molotovs to delay pushes (god bless being able to buy a 2nd one after throwing your 1st) and mowing them down with the sawed-offs as they tried to move in to paper and T-spawn, we ended up winning 16-12. I wish Counter-Strike was always this exhilarating, god damn.
but those weapons have scopes and that's how it's supposed to look when you look through them...
where the hell did that come from hahMaybe this is old news... but it seems like VAC now send your DNS cache back to Valve: http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffen...c_now_reads_all_the_domains_you_have_visited/

Nah it doesn't. I had it for a number of months and we played a grand total of 0 games on it.
I just get the impression people feel a bit intimidated that we're at different skill levels. I thought we could have just run around like mentalists.

Damn good Visual Settings Video
I turned the shader to low and wow does the game look better. The water looks a bit crummy but it's less distracting with no flickering reflections. The game over all looks better and cleaner and Aztec is actually playable for me again. Also upped the aa and texture thing to maxed and I can still run the game at the 120 fps I was getting before.
Also the new De_Season

Oops. here is De-Season
So if you can max out texture filtering and antialiasing and still maintain a target framerate should you?

I'm curious as to what the average rank of a CSGO player here is. I'm between Nova 3 - Master Guardian I (fluctuates).
