Nah it wasn't changed recently. IIRC, it was changed a while ago from the old default 2 locations on each map. Now they have a variety of (better) 2 spots each map that makes it harder for Ts to camp.

Yeah it's definitely more fun. Would be interesting to see a pro level scrim playing only hostage maps and seeing how it would turn out. I doubt they would ever make it to tournies though even if it was balanced cause the SC scene is very much against change.

Just got my first Phoenix case.
and sold it...
So, do you guys just dump the cases on the market place or do you actually open them?
What's the rarest skin you've gotten if so?
The prices of some of those skins are going for are ridiculous. Wish I could fetch something like that, but knowing my luck, it won't happen.

I dump cases until they're below 1$.
Then, if there's a couple of skins I want from the set (and if their prices are expensive), I'll put in for 5 or 6 cases + keys using the money gained from the sold cases + ~10 of my own money to play Russian roulette. It's worked out alright thus far m4 Guardian and some statrak USPs

This is what I plan to do. I get kinda stupid and open new cases before they drop but I learn after my first one.
I'll open a case or so a week until I get the stuff I want. I have gotten some pretty good stuff most of which I've sold. I have my dark water M4 stattrak. It's worth 10 now but was worth 25 when i opened it. It's my fav gun so I won't sell it. Now I want a redline ak and of course a knife.

The only two crates I've opened had contents worth 10 cents combined, so I'm not doing that again. I'm also not nearly good enough at Counter-Strike and don't intend to be good enough for Stattrak weapons to reach meaningful numbers, so no point in doing that. Whereas I've made over $11 on drops, not counting Dreamhack cases.
I had a Pit Viper AWP drop. I've never seen an AK or M4 drop for anyone.

I'm not an expert but is that "Missing VGUI" stuff normal? Maybe you should verify your game cache through the games properties and download any missing files?

Verified a lot, everytime everything is peachy fine :l My debug log might provide more info, noticed the time stamps correlate with crashes
Checked the path, and there is an empty folder in the path called chrome.pak - is this normal, could somebody check their installation?
Code:

Mine is empty as well. Strange. I don't think the missing VGUI stuff is the problem, I get that all the time and don't crash out.

GAMEPLAY
Fixed the molotov not having the same collision bounds as the rest of the grenades.
Fixed some grenades allowing visibility through them when they shouldn't and vice versa - this fixes bugs like seeing players through smoke volumes.
Increased radarvispow from 0.2 to 0.4.
Fixed icons on the radar not fading out properly when they should have.
[
B]MISC[/B]
Fixed frequent connection errors when starting private casual matches with friends on a local server.
With sv_grenade_trajectory on, the debug overlay boxes now reflect the size of the grenades bounds when they collide and bounce.
Added an option to the options menu to use raw number keys or weapon binds for selecting players when spectating and voting for maps at round end (spec_usenumberkeys_nobinds, defaults to 1).
NETWORK
GOTV watch requests for matches with significant number of twitch.tv spectators will always get directed to GOTV relays.
Added convar host_name_store to indicate whether host name is revealed in queries and GOTV. Host name is always printed in status command output.
Added convar host_info_show, operators can set it to the following values: 0 to block server info queries; 1 (default) to respond with all details excluding identities; 2 to respond with all available details.
Added convar host_players_show, operators can set it to the following values: 0 to block server players queries; 1 (default) to respond only with max players and uptime; 2 to respond with all players details.
Server operators can now list game rules cvars in gamerulescvars.txt file, those cvars when marked as FCVAR_NOTIFY will be included in A2S_RULES response packet to server management software and 3rd party clients. The total size of A2S_RULES response packet must be within approximately 1Kb (MTU). File gamerulescvars.txt.example is provided.
When a server is running with the -nomaster parameter, it will not register on GMS and will not respond to direct queries.
MAPS
CS_Downtown: Fixed bug where players could spawn outside of map in Deathmatch
DE_Favela: Fixed exploits where players could get out of map, various other polish
DE_Inferno: Fixed exploit where players could see through roof near Bombsite A balcony

I still don't understand the economics behind some of the marketplace games csgo pulls.
It has to be because it's behind a paygate.

You posted that? Nice. I made a thread about it months ago but it never got up voted. Glad to see it's fixed.

The shit people downvote is baffling.
Yeah, it was some insane shit. I get that you can do double binds, but that doesn't stop the bug from existing for (new) players who don't know how to do it.
Maybe it's because they wanted Cache to win every map vote.

Finally got my first Phoenix Case. I think I'll sell it by morning since a couple hundred popped up recently.
Anyone know the requirements to level up the badge yet? And also, unrelated, but I finally made Master Guardian 1.

I really got to sort myself out. This game is starting to frustrate the hell out of me cause I play too much casual and it's a random clisterfuck of nonsense. The few ranked matches I've played I have done well and have enjoyed the game more because well the game is meant for 5v5 but my anxiety keeps me from playing more ranked matches. The pressure gets to me. Letting down my team etc. Somethings gonna give soon.

Have you considered buying a new account when sales come around? Then you can fuck about with lower ranked friends or just play easy and not care.

How is a submission's score determined?
A submission's score is simply the number of upvotes minus the number of downvotes. If five users like the submission and three users don't it will have a score of 2. Please note that the vote numbers are not "real" numbers, they have been "fuzzed" to prevent spam bots etc. So taking the above example, if five users upvoted the submission, and three users downvote it, the upvote/downvote numbers may say 23 upvotes and 21 downvotes, or 12 upvotes, and 10 downvotes. The points score is correct, but the vote totals are "fuzzed".

Bug I just discovered with the Scout, I assume it also happens on the AWP but I can't test it. When you're actively using it and have a skin on it, putting the skin it's equipped with on the market while you're still alive will allow you to remain scoped in while shooting.
On a side note, it would be cool if they made the Deagle resemble the 1.6/Source look, as GO's looks like it's made of stone when you're playing with lower shader quality.

The same as Bravo
10 hours 5 wins for Silver
30 hours 15 wins for Gold
wins are based on competitive.
also, i hate how people just kill the market. 6 hours ago Phoenix cases were selling for $6. Now it's down to $3..

That's not people, that's just the nature of the supply. A huge influx of crates after the drops reset drives the price down.
No, it's the people.
Crates go for like $4..and then someone sells theirs for like $3.50
I understand there's supply and demand, but why the hell are you undercutting the market that much?
When I last looked, there were still $4 on the first page, the most recent added items were a little over $3. That's not supply and demand, that's just being an idiot. People want these crates, they would have bought them for the $5 or $6 they've been going for, people are just impatient and have this "I NEED TO SELL THE SECOND IT GOES ON THE MARKET" mentality.
Well that's still supply and demand. Some people are content with getting 3 bucks for it. They see there are hundreds for more than 4 and fear that the price may go down a lot more.So worst case tehy put it up for 4.5, price falls anyway and in the end they only get 2 or even 1 buck.

Anyone else having a hell of a time getting a game started in matchmaking? I have all the maps selected and it keeps telling me it found a game but I didn't accept. Which is obviously bullshit.

I only had the error once. Took a couple minutes to find a game today at first, but that was it.
Does it feel like the AUG has ultimately been nerfed? Feels completely unreliable out of scope, and in scope it feels like the recoil has increased.
Also, I'm getting tired of unreliable matchmaking and feeling like I'm going nowhere at Gold Nova 2-3. I joined the group, but I don't know if there's anyone I could do matchmaking with.

I have my new PC built, so no more playing this on a toaster. I'm actually able to play at 60fps now, but I've played so much at 30-40(sometimes less)fps that playing at 60 frames is totally screwing with my aim. It feels like I'm back to sucking again.
Haha I like it..

Played competitive Downtown. Won, topfragged (31-7-10). Bottomfragger (6-1-22) on the other team was the same rank as me (Master Guardian Elite).
Had a game on Nuke, first half (T side) 4-11, against us. Second half, we win, 16-14. Their topfragger had 52 kills (and seemed completely legit) and they still lost.
It's weird seeing stuff like this happen.

Wellp traded my stat trak awp redline for a fire serpent, stat trak m4a4, and a candy apple glock.
Really just wanted the fire serpent so I'm ok with the trade.

Happens 90% of the games i'm in. At least one team will have someone will twice as many kills as the rest of his team.
Managed to grab this one brand new for $300 CAD: http://products.ncix.com/detail/benq-xl2420te-24in-led-144hz-08-85052-1064.htm
It's capable of 144Hz, but I'm running it at 120Hz with Lightboost. I feel like I upgraded my graphics card for free or something. I noticed how smooth everything became the second I flipped the refresh rate higher than 60Hz... even mouse movement in Windows was buttery smooth.
I feel like the difference is huge, personally. I find it's easier to track targets now, most of all.
Good site to do some reading, has monitor tests as well: http://www.blurbusters.com/
Sometimes I wonder if teams that have that big of a skill gap are using mics/communicating. I've noticed that any team where we didn't use mics had lots of really hard-earned wins since we had zero communication... it often felt like a fluke.
