Why isn't there a Star Wars RPG? And wouldn't James Bond make for a pretty good FPS?

My sensitivity is at 2.14.

That's way to high man at 1000 DPI. Converted to 400 DPI that's like 5.4 and that's just to high. Most pro's play with 2-2.5 at 400 DPI which would be around 1 at 1000 DPI.

I would suggest toning down your sensitivity to like 1.5, play some Deathmatch with it and step by step lower it down further until the point your most comfortable with.

At first you will think that there's no way you can play with such a low sensitivity but over time you'll get used to it and your aiming will improve dramatically trust me.

Here's a nice video on the subject and here you can convert your sensitivity from 1000 DPI to 400.


Also another tip, don't rush out with the nades in your hand like you did on Nuke there.


But other than that it looked very good for someone who just started the game.
Lower your sensitivity, play some Deathmatch, watch some Pro Games on Twitch, watch some tips and advices on Youtube, customize your config and you will only get better.

One thing to add in regards to sensitivity, if you play properly with your team and make good callouts and clear areas appropriately there should rarely if ever be a situation where an enemy sneaks up behind you, so being able able to do a 180 with any kind of speed is fairly unnecessary. Being able to fine tune your aim to get the headshot is far more important, so lower sensitivity is always, always better.

Damnnnnnn, I have my mouse at 2000 dpi and a sensitivity of 4.23.

I had a G500 that I was super comfortable with, once it died I went through 4 mice until landing on the G700. Before that I was on a lower sensitivity but I became accustomed to the faster speeds and never looked back. Now I'm scared to play with it, but if I took your advice, 2.0 sensitivity at 400 dpi, I think I would never adapt in my lifetime.

It does take some getting used to, but you'll be better off in the long run.

How much distance are you getting for a 360 with that? Seems like you'd miss headshots from jitter.

On mouse sensitivity: Play with what you are comfortable with but ultimately know that higher sensitivities are generally not as good when you start to get better. You should be checking corners cleverly and not need to turn sharply but you will need precision over long distances with a rifle. I wouldn't turn it down to a "recommended" level if you don't feel comfortable with it. Much better to slowly try and work yourself down rather than go cold turkey.

I'm not sure, I think I 180 in 2 inches. I'm going to practice a few games on a lower setting and see what happens. I'm definitely not "good" although I finish in the top 3 pretty much everytime on Silver Elite-SE Master.

Edit: that was dreadful. Takes me 3.5 mouse slides to do a 360, is that normal? I had it on 400 dpi and 3.0 sens.

Depending on how big your mousepad is, one slide across the whole pad should give you something like a 360 at max. Remember you never really have to turn more than 180. If an enemy is behind you it should be to late anyway. You should be able to check your corners easily enough though.

Do you use rawinput?

I do have rawinput checked although I'm not sure what it does.

Slowly easing my way into the new sens. I basically change it on the fly depending on my location on the map. One full mouse slide definitely doesn't give me a 360 degree turn though. I think first thing I have to do is buy a new mouse pad, one that is firm and not flimsy like this Diablo III one.

I need a hard plastic or glass based pad.

I can recommend the Steelseries qck+. It's cloth but it's pretty much perfect for Cs Go I think. The surface is super smooth and the mouse glides extremely well over it.

I just bought it couple days ago after years of playing on my wooden desk and it's a difference like day and night.

Had these guys just accepted hacking as a necessary evil in CS:GO? It was genuine surprise to learn that one of them were cheating, and it’s annoying that there’s no way I can report them after the fact, but should I care?
Click to expand...
Yes you can. Use the "Report Violation" function on their Steam profile and select "Suspected Cheater" and in the text box explain why.

Kinda sucks when a map as popular as Cache is in the operations, it ends up with 95% of the games you find being on it. And if you unselect it then it takes forever to find games on the others :(

I imagine the next operation will be similar but with Crown.

I would love for them to just make Cache an official map. I can dream I guess. And it will probably be a permanent Operation map from now on.

Actually, if season and tuscan make it I suspect the next operation might actually be the best on regarding the maps that will actually be played in competetive.

Been really getting into this game again the past few weeks and I am wanting to dive into some competitive mode. Is there a popular website for finding clans etc looking for members to trial and what not?

I am in Australia so can't be a US only website.

I hate that I actually enjoy having weapon skins to play around with. The skins for my favourite weapon are stupid expensive(AK-47).

In case anyone hasn't seen them yet, Max Reiger has been doing detailed patch content analyses in the vein of Cyborgmatt's work on Dota 2. I would highly recommend checking these out:

May 14 analysis

May 21 analysis

May 28 analysis

AND! Just a reminder, Operation Phoenix is ending June 4th (unless Valve extends it). You have four days to get your gold badge if you haven't done so already.

That'd be awesome. I'd also like to see the community made de_marquis somehow make it in. Although I don't think there's a tuscan update from the original creator. Somebody else made an update and called it toscan.

Almost to 15 MM wins on my phoenix coin, wish there wasn't the 30 hours requirement though. It's takes too long to find games so I'll just have to spend it in casual.
