Why am I getting matched up with people from EU 
I had that issue. Redownloading fixes it.

I think 14 or 16 players should be the maximum. Enough to get some bigger games going but I always felt like 20 slot servers are just overkill.

I'm redownloading for a 2nd time in the hopes that it works. First time led to the same result.

Clear your cache?
Funny, that makes me want to buy the game even more now.
Can't wait to get off work to DL.
Happened to me as well, but if you go on the control settings screen you can see that all the configs are blank. Pressing Restore to factory defaults resets the controls, saves you re downloading 2 gigs.

Wow, Counter Strike is like riding a bike I guess.
After not playing for a good 3 years, yesterday I was dominating like crazy, the Gungame with Bomb planting mode is a lot of fun.
The game is totally worth it at $15 and Im so happy that we get global stats, I love looking at stats after playing.

Single and double tapping? (PC or 360)
As far as i can tell it has everything bar all the maps, the only ones playable are Italy and Office.
Took me a while to get adjusted to the floaty feel of the movement after playing games like BF3 where they simulate running so realistically, but after a while everything started to click and it was very enjoyable.
I was laughing at how bad/not used people are on this game when watching the death cam.
360.
Like for one, I emptied what must have been like 8 pistol bullets on a dude standing still.

For other PC folks, is this happening for everyone or is it just me?
Just a tad jarring...

Enjoying this a lot, and the pool of players seems to be a lot larger skillwise. I bought source never having played counterstrike before and got my ass handed to me. This isn't half as bad, although I'm still getting pretty worked so far.
Duck when you shoot, shoot automatic weapons in bursts, don't run straight through doorways.

Thanks a million, this worked perfectly.
Lot's of beginner threads up right now. http://www.reddit.com/r/counterstrike
I'm learning a lot myself.
In CS, there's a lot of recoil and decreased accuracy as you keep firing. Also, your accuracy goes way down if you're firing while moving. Do short, controlled bursts, and stop moving right before you shoot.
Try using the AK47 and M4 as much as possible.
Best advice I can give is just play. Get used to the maps and different guns. As far as shooting goes, running and shooting doesn't work as well as in other games. Get used to shoot 1-2 roudns, strafe, stop, repeat for far range targets and spraying into the neck/head of close range guys.
Might also be server issues or typical unpolished launch problems. Sometimes someone will be close-mid range and I'll unload into their chest with an m4 while controlling spray... only to die and see I hit them 1 out of 20 rounds. Already checked spray patterns several times and they aren't off to the point that it'd be the reason I'm missing so many shots.

try the weapons course. are you new to cs? asside from no aim assist, there are many things which can affect your accuracy. i think the weapons course does a pretty good job at teaching basics.
i think the mp5 made a great beginner gun moreso. although csgo doesn't have that anymore. haven't had time to try out the mp7 or mp9. anyone know how those compare?theexodus5 said:

Try and learn the spray pattern of each gun. Fire at least half of a clip in one go at a blank area of wall.
For example at 3 or 4 metres away the AK-47 has the first two rounds on target, the next two are slightly off, and the rest go off into the stratosphere. Vary the distance and also bring in movement to get a grasp of how to use each weapon effectively.
The challenge is sticking to short bursts and resisting the temptation to spray and pray, which hardly ever works.

I'm having trouble doing that when I run into a group of 2-3 guys in close range. I used to be able to kill at least one or two before they got me in 1.6 but I always die nowadays.
I'd be up for that, as long as it isn't too expensive.
I'll definitely be online playing CS:GO tonight. Would be fun to play with some GAF people.
"spray and pray" is a bad idea but using controlled spray to mow down multiple enemies in close-mid range was always a good strategy in cs.
Burst is the worst thing you could do in that situation. You simply don't have time to let recoil reset between bursts even if you have 100% accuracy. Spraying and aiming the recoiled bullets at their head is ultimately what you'd want to be able to do.

If you mean the PS+ trial then it's already up. Look in the full game trials section.Any word of when the PS3 demo will be out? I need a multiplayer shooter to get into since I dropped BF3

You're missing the texture for that object. Verify the game cache in steam.
Also here's someone completing the weapons course in 20.6 seconds.

I remember when I first started playing CS, I played exclusively with the MP5 for like 3 months, once I mastered that I moved to the rifles, AUG, AK47, M4, and then later to Snipers.
Once you learn how to use all the weapon classes you can become a beast.
My one complaint about this game is the weapon models, they all seem very similar, Im having a hard time knowing what weapon im carrying in Arms Race.

Tried Move support
It's rather good actually!
It's just that I suck with move aiming. Basically whenever I fire, I throw the cursor off no matter how much I try to squeeze, not pull, the trigger
Still, major fucking kudos in the work these guys put into the PS3 version

I've seen a live stream with someone already playing this map.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Tried a few quick matches with bots. First impressions: no Valve head logo, instant regret. Feels weird. Guns sound/look/animate much nicer than Source. Cant help but shake the feeling that aside from global illumination Source actually had better looking maps.
I'll play it when I'm more interested in sitting down and sinking my teeth in.

Thanks...so there are steam features like Portal 2 had on the PS3?
Do that, but it still feels like it takes forever to kill
bots
Nope.
