Seems to be fairly common from the comments I've seen around, yeah.
Ya just reopen the game. I get that a lot since the latest patch.
If you're so bad that a BOT could be considered better than you, then you probably shouldn't be playing competitive yet

It's less that the bots themselves play better and more if they sit around and not get themselves killed they can be used as extra lives for players on the team.
90% of the time, BOT's are there because someone disconnected or left. Either let us tell them to stay or make them slightly less stupid.
p.s. I was using the tec9 before it was cool

So that Dragon Lore AWP, damn. Hand Cannon Deagle is a work of art.
I play a lot of cs maps in comp, so it sucks if this is the case from now on.
My favorite map of the first three ops. Glad Cache was officialized, though.

I had a mission to get a comp win on Castle.. lawwwwd is that map broken. T's can rush caves(A) with impunity. There's zero reason to go B aside from it getting boring at A. Ended up winning 16-12. It was
.
Oh and forgot to mention, one of our teammates dropped out as soon as we switched to CT, lolol.
Also the mission system is brilliant. My first mission was to get 40 deagle kills in DM - groan fuck the deagle nahmean - but turns out one deag'ing is quite rewarding. Aside from the shitty performance on some of the maps I'm rather enjoying this update so far.
fun :x

Not really a fan of the maps. Castle, insertion and rush seem really shitty from what I've played.
Mist is interesting, but there are too many patheays through that map for my taste.
Overgrown seems okay, will have to see how it actually plays in comp.
Havent't played blackgold yet.
Overall, I just seem to prefer simple maps to those cluttered with too many narrow paths

This is the first op where everyone gets the maps, regardless if you buy a pass or not.
Buying the pass gets you the challenge coin, access to the new skins, and missions.
It seems like theres a strong theme of verticality for all these maps. I actually like Overgrown a lot, and am willing to keep playing Blackgold and Mist for testing. Castle is pretty awful and so is Insertion, Rush is OK for a hostage map though.
EDIT: Also its weird talking to another Kirby.

I'll definitely give all the DE maps a go in competetive, but I'm still sad crown isn't in this at least.
Yeah, I know some people are super hesitant towards new maps, and I dont know if any of them are any good, but there's at least fun for a couple maps. Except Insertion, FUCK that map.

Played a competitive match in Black Gold. The map is a clusterfuck. The visual noise is awful and the sight lines are ridiculous. It needs a complete overhaul.

Current mission says get 15 heavy kills. Joined a DM operation server and got 15 negev kills, didn't register. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed it says in Casual. DM doesn't count. Sigh.

Just played rush and I don't liek that one either. There are like 10 spots on every part of the map where suddenly an enemy can jump out of the bushes and give you a headshot. I have no idea why they thought including these maps was a good idea.
A lot of map makers were making maps for the gamebanana map comp, and I think there was some other comps not too long ago as well, so I feel they were chosen from that bunch.
A lot of the maps are interesting visually, and it's nice to get out of warehouses and office complexes, IMO. None of these maps are great for competitive play, and since some of the geo is so complicated (Castle, specifically) I doubt they'll get overhauls to make them more suitable.
I'm just enjoying the variety, personally, as someone who only dabbles in competitive play.
What was the reward? My first mission was to only get 10 pistol kills in casual and I got that crappy scorched ump, seems like your mission should get you a nicer gun
Yeah, I'm not a fan at all. Don't see any of the maps being played in comp. It feels like they picked them because the maps looked nice and were visually unique without regard to the actual gameplay. People always say this, but they really do feel like Call of Duty maps that are more fit for respawning deathmatch than a CS:GO round

As far as I can tell, they require real players.
yes, each mission is assigned to one of the three new collections and you get a drop from that collection when you complete it.

I bought this as an old 1.6 player trying to get back into the game. I'm really disappointed in the exclusion of mods like skins and etc. The recoil value seems to be a lot lower than 1.6 it would seem.
The rest is solid, much better than CS:Source to me.

I don't use them, but there's still a pretty healthy community of people doing skin mods, animation mods, full weapon skin replacement mods, etc. on gamebanana There are lots of map making communities that are very active (many of the operations pack maps come from the community) on sites like mapcore.
Whether or not you can use stuff like skins and anim mods without getting a VAC ban is something I'm not aware of, however. Maybe someone else can comment?

I would like that as well. I wouldn't want to be banned. In my opinion, if the mods were excluded then it was to sell those weapon boxes and keys.

I haven't tried mods and skins myself, but I assume it's not available for competitive mode. And so it should be, or people could run around with opposing players that stand out brightly against the background or invisible weapons like the old r_drawviewmodel 0 command. But I do believe you can still use skins on community servers.
If it's like Dota, you can but they'll only be visible to you.
It works with only bots I think, but you definitely need to be online on a Valve server.
Apparently the movementAccuracy Value of the Tec9 went from 13.81 to 3.81. Seems like a mistake rather than a voluntary thing. I expect them to change it back to a more normal value by next week. The way it is now is ridicolous.

Did 2 competitive rounds on Rush back to back. I liked the map quite a bit. I had a fantastic team in the second round who helped me reach god-tier status. At 14-4 I killed the whole enemy team and saved a hostage lol. All but one just rage quit after that.
Sell cases until they drop to some arbitrary price. I like to wait until they are below a dollar.

That's fine then. Thanks for the answer. I rather play in servers, I"m tired of being called an aim botter by competitive match making players.
Castle feels like it's twice as big as it needs to be
