Getting a consistent frame rate drop since the update. Anyone else?

New map from the creators of Cache: http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/03/07/b...e-next-big-counter-strike-go-competitive-map/
I really hope Valve just works out a deal and adds both maps to standard comp, it would would be annoying to wait until the next operation to play it

Neat. It had occurred to me that the Volcano that made Cache might be Garazzo but I never bothered to investigate/confirm.

Realistically, Crown will probably have to spend time in an Operation or two before Valve purchases it. On the plus side, though, Operations mean more money for the creators and more exposure for the map.
Coming from a TF2 background, it's really interesting to see how different and similar Valve's process of making maps official is, similar in the sense that, in both games, maps are extensively community stress-tested across different iterations before being made official, different in how Valve approaches the maps pre-officialization (community servers vs. Valve Operations).

Remember when they used to just toss in whatever nonsense was popular at the time? That's how we got hoodoo and junction.
And I got back to Gold Nova 3, hopefully for real this time. I have no idea how many kills and wins it's going to take to rank up again.
Instahype. Fast-track this and Cache to official matchmaking, volvo pls.
We need to get that guy whose uncle works at Valve to make this happen.
Last night a bunch of random people, a friend of mine (who made the video), and I started knife-fighting and other random shenanigans on a casual server. Eventually someone started playing music through their microphone, and this lovely moment was born:
Counter-Strike Performs "Take On Me" Live at CS Motel
Enjoy!

That's pretty average if you've never really played counter-strike before. Definitely a good starting point.
You're gonna get matched with a lot of bad players though (silver 3-4) so if you wanna get beyond say nova 1 get in the habit of adding people from games who seem decent and communicate well to your friends list or else people who go like 5-19 will just bring your games down.

Stage 2 of Hoodoo is like Aztec: easy as fuck to defend, hard as fuck to take.

hoodoo comes from the same school of map design as goldrush cap 3 and the entirety of dustbowl. Flanking routes are mediocre to nonexistent, and offense wins through attrition and brute force ubers.
The silver ranks basically mean you understand what Counter-Strike is, and then you need to actually learn how to play it to advance through Gold. I can't tell you how to do that because that's where I am.

Any hints if Valve will add maps to Arms Race? Any recs for community/workshop maps that are active? Tried a couple from the workshop, but was always alone.

31.5 MB update is out. Here's some info on it, courtesy of wickedplayer494. Also, the item schema update.
If the Facepunch link doesn't work, then basically, trophies for the winners of Katowice were added, along with some team stickers, plus a new souvenir case.

Here's a guide on how to rename your C4 explosive.
This is what I named mine:
Probably the autoexec.cfg file?

video.txt, I don't know why CS:GO is the only game to have this problem of all Source titles.

Does anybody here still play at Gold Nova ranks? Getting tired of randoms again.
I'm gold nova 1 but won't have a mic again until this weekend. :S

I'm gold nova 4, but I haven't had time to play lately. Add me and I'll get on with ya sometime. My steam name is sneakypete, my avatar is the lil black kid with pizza on his head.
Nova 1 here (should be 3). Would be down to queue with you if my ping isn't an issue. Where are you located?
Thanks. That worked.

I didn't find your profile. My name is easy to find though, since I have basically the same name on Steam as GAF.

Man, I remember playing this during beta and how different it was. This game has come a loooong way since.
Pretty good interview with Chet before release (2011):

I mean, max 2 defuse kits?! That's insane, but I kinda want a separate mode for that now!

Two random CTs getting defuse kits, rather than allowing each CT to purchase one if they wish - that's a part of the beta I definitely don't miss.
As I recall, that got changed relatively quickly.

I love this.
I still don't understand the reasoning behind the chickens in CSGO.
I'll definitely be playing this weekend when I get a replacement mic. Gold Nova 1 right now. I'm still learning how to play properly in a competitve setting. I also don't know too many competitive maps well enough yet, but I'm OKish on Dust2.
Searching soultron on Steam should get me. Posting my stat page again for kicks.

Ended up playing some casual last night before bed, actually had fun.
It was on Motel, and everyone should know how awful of a map that is, so a few of my teammates weren't taking it serious and used Tec 9s.
Eventually, for the remainder of that map and the next two, terrorists only used Tec 9 while CT had AWPs, Pro90s and all that good stuff. We still ended up winning lol

There used to be chickens on italy in CS. They were gone in CS Source, and now there are more than ever to compensate.
One thing I actually miss from CSS is the ragdoll. People just flopped over when they died, now headshots cause people to backflip all over the place.
Does anyone follow the competitive Counter Strike scene?
Just curious because nearly every other video game tournament gets a thread on here, but I've never seen one for Counter Strike unless it's part of a bigger event like Dreamhack, but those threads are usually just SC2 guys.

I'm surprised no one has posted about Katowice to be honest, considering it starts in like 3 hours. I watched the ESEA LAN finals and some of the Katowice qualifiers and find it a lot of fun. I wasn't playing CSGO back in December so I missed Dreamhack and I'm hoping I can catch as much of this as possible, but starting at 8am local time is sort of working against me D:
Yeah, that's what seemed weird to me. Final Round (fighting game tournament) has had a thread up since Monday I believe. Katowice starts in less than 3 hours and nothing.
Maybe I'll work on some banners or something for the next big CS event.
Competitive Counter-Strike scene isn't as big as SC2 in terms of big tournaments (Or there's less of an following on NeoGAF).
Also other than Dreamhack, I think the only SC2 tournament threads are for WCS and Proleague and they aren't particularly active. The fighting game community seems more active than the other "E-sports", so they are bound to have more threads for tournaments.

Here is the OT for IEM Katowice, it doesn't include the CS GO tournament unfortunately. I don't know if there is enough demand for an OT for the CS GO tournament alone or if it'd just be counter productive. I wouldn't mind making one up before it starts today if you guys want it.
