Castle feels like it's twice as big as it needs to be

Yeah I can see that, haven't played it in competitive yet

Spoiler

since I'm banned

 

[Ensirius]

Ok, got the new operation.
New case drops, sold it for 3, if I can get another nice drop I might be able to get my money back in 2/3 days.
Now onto figuring out how to get my money back to PayPal. Keys?

 

[TheSeks]

Ivory P2000 is some hotness.

I think I'd probably use a Nametag and tag as "Ebony and Ivory."

 

[schwupp]

I know you have to wait till the end of the game....but my kills still aren't registering on my mission :\

was about to ask this ... only got 8 kills marked, but i´m sure i killed more.
does it not count bot kills?

 

[questionmark]

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.

Eventually you will be matched with people around your own skill level. It takes a few matches, but it's well worth it if you can stomach the 64-tick servers.

What are 64 tick and 128 tick servers?

Also, I noticed that when I join a match and look at the scoreboard, I'm the only one with my rank showing but at the end of the match, people have ranks. What's the deal with that? I'm Silver 3 btw.

 

[dLMN8R]

I'm pretty new to CS: GO with only 4 hours on my account, but I'm not super clear on how drops are supposed to work.

I've read some things online about drop rates and such, but it's still confusing to me that I've played for 4 hours using quick matches (which I assume put me on official servers?) but I still haven't gotten a single drop. I stick around to the end of rounds and such, still nothing.

What am I missing?

Competitive doesn't show ranks until the end of the match. If you're in a lobby with friends you can see their ranks during game as well.

 

[RS4-]

...so I can't be the only one that has stats in casual, reserve group not counting towards the mission huh.

3-4 complete matches, kills still required at 8.

edit - oh, official servers.

 

[Mutagenic]

Tec9 is way too good now. Like there's reason not to tec9 + head armor on round 2 win or lose round 1. I've pretty much been just using it and awp on T side now and completely wrecking people. Definitely getting nerfed soon.

Which is precisely what they were trying to avoid by nerfing the CZ. These guys are bad at balancing.

 

[Clydefrog]

Still having horrible routing issues to Valve's matchmaking servers. I cannot get under 100 ping to any Valve server during peak hours. I have to play at like 1 AM just in order to have 50-60 ping.

 

[SteveWinwood]

when is crackhouse going to be a in one of these things

that map rocked

That the drop rate is shit unless you get the Operation Coins. Yes, it's royally stupid. It took me about 5-10 hours before I even got one not including bot matches in that time.

When Rob Ford gets re-elected.

Spoiler

I see what you did there, you sly dog.

 

[Sajjaja]

Awww yiss. Ranked up.

In this map, the surviving T didn't even see the CT defusing the bomb cause he blent into the wall, so I was yelling "HE'S AT THE BOMB DEFUSING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!"


Also got an Operation case and sold it for about 4.10 (buyers price). Already made back half of what I paid from my steam wallet.

 

[Timurid]

They should really bring back Miami. Miami was easily my favorite map in Counter Strike.

I can make a really ugly version if you want to play it really badly. Hah.

 

[ViviOggi]

Anyone know what's up with the drop limit for missions? I got four today until it kicked in while mates and random people on the Steam forums mostly got two until they stopped dropping.

 

[Deadman]

Had some fun playing tec-9: tec-9 offensive today.

Is it worse or better than the AUGpocalypse?

Really glad they added Cache to the official map pool. Love that map.

The AUG thing was hilarity with a scope for a week.

About the same. There is really no reason for terrorists to not all buy tec9s at the start, its an almost guaranteed win for the first 2 rounds. Even when the opponent has a real gun its perfectly possible to win with tec9.

 

[jediyoshi]

I feel like the map maker was trying to do something interesting with Insertion but the result is just a confusing clusterfuck of a map that feels like a sniping fest.

..the spawning is confusing?

 

[impact]

Ivory P2000 is some hotness.

Got a ST version from the only new case I've opened

Am I the only one that doesn't think any of the new maps are good?

 

[Unknown One]

Like seriously, they should play test their balance or let the pros do it for them. Who is in charge of this game? Valve or the developers that created it?

 

[Kanokare]

I need more assignments I've gotten gold on all the other ones so I expect this one too in the future!

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Update's out:

Release Notes for 7/2/2014

[OPERATION BREAKOUT]
- Missions will now properly reward progress on partnering dedicated servers.
- Fixed graphical glitch with water on cs_rush and de_overgrown when shader detail is set to medium or low.

[GAMEPLAY]
- Fixed the Tec-9 weapon script.

[MISC]
- Fixed a rare crash when updating the scoreboard.
- Zooming out of a sniper scope on a map that doesn’t have a post processing entity will no longer cause a circular visual artifact.

 

[snack]

REKT9 back to normal.

 

[Zia]

Can you only obtain a certain amount of assignments a day (or week)? I received four, did all four and now they aren't dropping at all. I haven't seen them drop for other players this evening, either.

I'd assume there is a cap just like with normal drop per weeks because you DO get weapon skins for doing missiona. And yay for the hotfix

That's my assumption too. Otherwise people who play 24/7 would stand to make a lot of money off this update.

 

[Unknown One]

That was fast. I never got to see how broken it was, but I'd rather not see it.

 

[cresto]

Even though there are issues with the game, let's not lose sight of the fact that this game has extensive updates on a simi regular basis due in large part to community feedback. It's astonishing to see a game receive so many tweaks in a time when games dont get fixed and sequels are already on their way. I commend valve for the way they do business. Too bad console gamers (myself included) can't see the value in what they have and just mindlessly dump more and more money into series with little to no change from game to game.

 

[Drvillain]

Glad they fixed the tec9 so quickly, and even more glad that they fixed the deagle.

 

[Sajjaja]

Was down 12 to 3 on Nuke. Switched to CTs, 13 game winning streak. What whaaattt.

Well it always was a bot more CT sided, but normally you'd need at leats 7 wins or so before going CT. So nice going!

 

[Tc91]

I'd like to know this too, 1 of my friends thinks it's 2 missions per day. Is that true?

 

[chessnut]

People have been saying it's 5 a week. I've done 2 so far (1 drop) and haven't gotten anymore after about 4 hours of playing

 

[dLMN8R]

So can someone explain further how these tokens work?

I was able to load the Operation Breakout game without buying a token, but then I was placed in a game full of bots. Was that a fluke? Or is that how the custom games work when you don't buy a token for them?

I thought you could still play them without buying a token, you just wouldn't get drops / missions / etc. from them.

It was a fluke. Disconnect and try joining another server

The token is just for the missions, journal, and new case

 

[RS4-]

I'm still stuck on two missions (1 drop). Almost feels like I have to throw in 10 more hours just for one more.

 

[ashecitism]

Game almost peaked at 200k. Thought that would come during Gamescom.

 

[Deadbeat]

I dont understand why we cant have some nice UMP skins and not babys first art project. Would it have been so hard to have made a tuxedo ump 45?

I wish they'd be clear about this. I bought the pass specifically for the missions thinking that they'd drop regularly.

Still rocking caramel.

Bone pile UMP is pretty cool.

I like corporal and bone pile

Still no drops lol

 

[Sajjaja]

I hate it when the other team can't take the L and just start trash talking shit at the end and mic spam.

 

[Deadbeat]

Pretty much what Im still using. Got a skull sticker on it as well (because someone was selling the ump at the lowest market price for some reason).

Bone pile UMP is pretty cool.

I sorta liked it for a bit but then stayed with Caramel.

I like corporal and bone pile

Corporal doesnt have the magazine skinned like in the photo. I was so disappointed when I found out.
