211, but that's still well ahead of the average. =)

(the 187 is the last of your 5 clicks, the average of all 5 is below in smaller writing, genius site design :p)

I just got 209 from another best out of 5. I don't think I'll do any better. Seems about right given my age and the fact that I play a lot of fast twitch games.
 
273 average. I know I've always had a problem with slow reaction times. =/


Edit: 206. I just remembered the trick of only looking at the color and not the text cause your brain wants to read it and slows you down.
 
doesn't matter on 64 tick MM servers anyway
While 64 tick servers are a bit shit, the tick time is 15ms so it only really becomes a concern when you have good reactions.

You're more likely to not react in time than miss because of the tick window. =P

Yeah, I had to scroll down because that blinky ellipsis was distracting.

Mine is pretty bad, but I'm about to go to sleep. I remember n0thing saying his reaction time is only a little better than average. I really don't put much into this. gamesense > reaction time

fastest was 213, average was 240

According to reddit this was probably done to stop cheaters from buying 100's of copies cheap from other regions then selling therm to others at much lower prices than retail.

It's gonna be all bad maps anyway

This is valve we are dealing with

I don't care, I want something new, even if I just play each map once.

Plus it seems I'm one of the few persons who actually misses missions. And a new case + skins is always fun.

I'm totally with you, even if the maps suck I don't mind at all. Even better is that you can make the cost of the operation back pretty fast from crates if you get in early and more.

EDIT: Muahahaha, the ESL One Cologne 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package is hitting a minimum price of 46 eur now, but I'm still holding on to it. Might actually sell it after it goes past 50eur. Boggles my mind that someone would pay that with the chance of getting something worthless out of it.

"I don't care if the maps suck"

This is why valve gives us bad maps guys, get some standards for the DLC you buy :[

Missions and cases are cool, but I'd trade that bullshit fluff for new season and tuscan any day. But why try to get good maps when people will just buy operation CoD maps anyway. Grrrr

Two things: the Operations are esentially free, so that is a huge plus aleady for getting some new content. Additionally, I'm giving something back to the mapmakers, which I think is awesome.
And second, Breakout so far was the only Operation where I thought all the maps were kinda shitty. All other Ops had at least one or two nice maps.

Actually I find it rather sad that the community keeps begging for remakes of old maps instead of actually trying to establish some new ones. The only real new map in CS:GO is Overpass, which only got accepted because Valve forced it on the scene. And now teams, especially in Europe, really like playing it.

We will get season eventually anyway, the question is whether it will be this Op or the next one. And I don't think tuscan will ever reach a playable state (at least for pro matches), the map has been updated once since the beta release.


Also, more news about DH Winter:

I'm glad they did this, should have some effect on the amount of hackers and cheaters we get.

Now if they just stop having CSGO on sale every other week :p

It doesn't go on sale very often.

And even then, it only hit $3.75 once

And I'm glad it did and Valve realized that a price this cheap attracts even more cheaters. I'd be okay if the game never went on sale again, but I guess 50% off will happen from time to time again.
 

dave is ok

aztek is ok
It looked destined for F2P for a while there. People weren't switching to it from CS:S and 1.6, the turnaround was/is pretty amazing.

Yup, ist was always prized very low but with the introduction of skins came the esports cases, which meant the introduction of Majors with a 250k$ pricepool and from there things just exploded. And the community keeps growing. Really amazing how Valve made the game that popular.

Odah is just too lucky or maybe its skill? Was it the same stream you win in every time or others?

I won 4 giveaways within one week in 3 different streams.

Last week I won in B4dboy75's a StatTrak Famas Pulse MW. (100 Entries) = 1:100 chance
3 Days ago I won in Arclin3's a Five-Seven Copper Galaxy MW (15 Entries) = 1: 15 chance + after I got picked I got placed on a wheel with 5 others = 1:5 chance
Yesterday I won in onscreenlol's a P90-Asiimov FT (250 Entries) = 1:250 chance + after I got picked I got placed on a wheel with 10 others = 1:10 chance
And today I won in B4dboy75's a AWP-Redline FT . (200 Entries) = 1:200 chance

I should buy a lottery ticket


the odd thing is that yesterday when I participated I already had this feeling that I would win before I got picked and even then on the wheel this feeling was still there, no doubts inside me. Today the same! I just knew I would win and I have no idea why. Kinda scary o_O
