Are there many people playing this? Thread seems very short

I mainly play CSS for zombie escape servers. About five or so maps were converted over to GO and they were fun to play. But all the best players and map variety are still with CSS so I mainly skip GO.

When I play GO public servers, there are a lot of bots. Seems like the game is running at half capacity. I have no idea if there is a GAF server.

It's right there.

I see, oops. Maybe I should have said, I don't know if there are gaf people playing together. Is there ever anyone on there?

Still not out in EU for PS3. Fucking farcical

has it been released since this was posted?

this sucks. I normally only get on CS late at night (12AM-4AM EST) and it's usually just bot city.

yea the PS3 community is full of asswipes.

the one thing I hate the most is when there's a good match going on and some clown calls for a change map because he sucks, thinking a different map is going to make him less shitty

and then for some reason people actually vote to pass.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

No one seems to be playing this much.

I'm up for games on the server but it's not happened. Guild wars 2 killed the CS hype.

I still don't think GO has come out in Europe on PS3.

I think I found the answer to this. I was on a server that kept map changing. On a whim, I voted for a map change about 30 seconds into the match. There were immediately five votes for yes, the same number that had died already in the round. They would rather load up a new map than wait the two minutes for a new round to start.

Ok i think this game is glitching...I just finished playing and Arms Race game online on Nuke and am currently playing arms race on Italy

Yup, not on PS3EU yet.

I've been playing locals with my friends because pubs are usually barren

 

[out0v0rder]

so anyone on ps3, just use this and you will stomp 90% of the players without blinking.

trackball sucks for gaming, but it's better than controller and the move. I went like 15-1 for three maps straight. it's almost cheating.

You play on live?? Played with your username as a gamertag tons of times.

Just saw a hack where:

1. Players runs insanely fast
2. Every shot is a headshot
3. Player can spawn anywhere
4. Player can see through wall
5. Player can change their Steam ID into anyone else's to avoid getting VAC banned
6. Player can change IP address
7. Getting kicked/voted doesn't do jackshit.

All by one person in a VAC-enabled server.

He did it to "counter-balance the hacker on the other team". I hate hackers ruining the game for all. Fucking script-kiddies.

You sure that was actually happening because it's the first time I've ever heard of that. Most servers ban players on IP so it's obviously easy for them to come back with a new IP. VAC also doesn't take effect instantly unless you're using an extremely out of date cheat and it has never stopped people from actively cheating on VAC servers.

did anyone catch the dreamhack valencia tourney? can't find the schedule, so i'm not sure if i missed the finals or not?

Eh, for every match with a (obvious) hacker there are like 50+ matches without one.
Just leave the match and shrug it off.

 

[Deleted member 102362]

I've been lucky. It's rare that I'm in a game with a cheater, but when it happens, man is it obvious. :/

 

[SniperHunter]

On the PS3 ver, every time I go near an enemy player my character starts jumping and doing strange shit. WTF? How do I fix this?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Still not so much as a rumour as to why this isn't out yet, or an estimate for its release date. Maybe a blessing, doesn't seem too popular

 

[Clydefrog]

that feel when you rush and flank the entire team, getting 8 kills and MVP star

Ehh, it seems to be getting a lot worse. The last time I played, there were three hackers in the course of an hour. One of them was teleporting to spawn and headshot machinegunning us on Nuke. Fun!

was on inferno and started staring at a rug. i can't unsee little demon people:

Your gun is on the left side? Or the image is mirrored??

 

[I H8 Memes]

Your gun is on the left side? Or the image is mirrored??

You can tell from the HUD it isnt mirrored ...

many oldschool players play with left handed models since thats how the game was when it first came out. That's what happens when you let a lefty weapon modeler build his own game.

Didnt even know that option existed...

 

[Canis lupus]

This game is suprisingly addictive. Has framedrops on the ps3 version at times though.

yep! cl_righthand 0 is the way to play

MAJOR update coming tomorrow!

CS:GO Dev twitter feed:

CS:GO will be getting a big update on Monday, featuring changes to matchmaking, bug fixes, and two maps!

Official CS blog:

Change is coming.

28 Sep 2012

Lately we’ve been hinting at some of the big changes on the way for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

On Monday, we will release a major update to CS:GO. It will feature a revised matchmaking system for Classic Competitive mode, two maps (the classic de_vertigo and the fast-paced ar_monastery), and a ton of bug fixes based on community feedback.

Matchmaking:

de_vertigo (Professional VS. FBI HRT):

ar_monastery (Balkan VS. GSG-9):

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Dare I ask about a console update...

I think they gave up on that the second it was released :/

 

[Semblance]

Arms Race map? :/

 

[_woLf]

Holy shit, Vertigo? I LOVED that map back in 1.6. That may be enough to get me to buy the game.

 

[Kalnos]

Arms Race map? :/

The only two that exist at the moment are pretty bleh. Gun game is really popular.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Was de_vertigo ever remade by Valve (not the community) in CS: Source? I forgot.

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

yay new map, add all maps by the end of 2012 please

Was de_vertigo ever remade by Valve (not the community) in CS: Source? I forgot.

no, there might have been a community version. But not by valve or turtlerock.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I prefer playing in community servers as there are far better players and communicators in them (also, better ping, more players, diverse maps and more). There are a handful of servers that fits this criteria and I've experienced hackers in all of them.

The problem with CS:GO is that at times its so unpredictable that you can't tell if a player is hacking or not. I like to play a game saying "Damn. That guy is good." instead of saying "Damn. That shot was a bit too accurate. Is he hacking?"

This is why I like TF2 cause GAF has a dedicated server with dedicated players and mods all the time running the server. I wish GAF had a 24 player server that was populated all the time, but it isn't.

 

[Semblance]

I don't disagree. Don't have much faith in this one either though.

Hostage playlist needs more love.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Some asshole just told me Alt+F10 gives you a free auto sniper rifle. I fell for it..

Hah, they removed one of those shortcuts from CS:S because of the trolling with it.

Stoked for this update. Haven't been on CS:GO in a while and the return of Vertigo is welcome.

 

[Rur0ni]

I thought that pic of the guy falling was a VIP getting killed off a building lol. Bring back VIP.

 

[TheExodu5]

I was hoping we'd see prodigy before vertigo.

 

[Kalnos]

Ah, misunderstood that then. I agree about wanting more hostage love, though.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Vertigo ? Awesome ! Siege (with APC !), Prodigy and Assault next please.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Being a console CS player is great.. Oh wait...

 

[PaleFolklore]

It has been seriously depressing watching the player numbers since this was released. I was thinking it would steadily grow post-launch but it really hasn't. Admittedly, I've kind of taken a break from the game but I'll definitely get back to it once the update comes out.

 

[TheExodu5]

I said before launch that they needed to get the competitive features right and they needed to convert existing 1.6/Source players over, or else it would die out.

Well...
