patch list apparently:
[ NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT ]

-Replaced Competitive mode "Join in Progress" matchmaking system with "Queued" matchmaking.
- Searching for a Competitive game, either from "Find a Game" or "Play with Friends," will enter the player/s ( between 1 and 5 ) into a waiting queue. Once 10 compatible players are found then the game will begin.
- Players that disconnect from a match can reconnect to it from the main menu or abandon it. Abandoning a game will result in a cooldown period during which no new competitive match can be joined.
- Note: Elo will be recalibrated for the new matchmaking system over the coming weeks.

-de_vertigo is now available for Classic Casual and Classic Competitive.

That nerf is way too tame imo. It's basically a cheaper M4 with a larger mag that gives $600 for every kill.

Wait, drop in and drop out is now only available in Casual mode?. Dammit that sucks for me and my friends who like playing on the Competitive one and we like jumping into each others games if someone arrives later than the others or if his game just crashed.

Thank god. The game should had launched like this.

Now it needs a proper ranking/laddering system, not the ambiguous system it currently has.

You can still play on community servers.

The whole point of Competitive is to have full 5v5 scrims with a ranking system. Drop-in, drop-out was completely contrary to this. It's like allowing people to take over computer players in in-progress Starcraft 2 matches.

I totally get that, but they should've created a new/separate playlist for this update instead of screwing over people playing everyday for the past months in a certain way.

edit- Actually, just noticed you can reconnect to the server if you drop of a competitive game instead of having to wait for yours friends to finish. That washes away my main concern about the new system.

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.

Zombie escape is one of my most played games of all time.. So awesome. Think I might have played it more than regular CS:S even.

Did they break the vote system or something?

Everyone votes for a map change to Vertigo - it doesn't change, and then "the next map is de_dust".


Fuuuuuuuuuck!

Voting has always been screwy in this game. I was in a comp match of Vertigo, and at the end of it, all 10 of us voted for a rematch, a vote which passed. Instead, I was sent back to main menu. :/

That being said, Vertigo is great. I'm glad they added it, and I can't wait for more new maps!

Monastery is beautiful and fun, but it does seem very easy for the CTs to camp the Ts.

really not liking these changes to classic competitive. They need to separate matchmaking casual/compet into separate options.

For me it's more about the options. I don't like the 'Casual' settings of no FF and the like. Also good luck finding a 5v5 with any community server.

New patch is terrible...

Have 2 good rounds? Congratulations, the entire enemy team has left and gone to play casuals for 30 minutes, you are now stuck playing bots unless you are lucky enough to convince your teammates to vote kick you from the game.

But so far i've enjoyed the hit detection on the new patch.

Yeah it's a joke. I don't understand how they didn't think this through at all: people can only join a new match -> if someone quits, team is stuck with useless bot. And the worst part is that it's not even guaranteed to start a game with 10 real players

Sounds like they need Casual Competitive, and Ranked Competitive.

Casual Competitive would allow drop-in drop-out.

Ranked Competitive would only be for a set group of 5, you would only do it if you knew you had time to play an entire match, and had people you knew would not be leavers.

I like the ELO/matchmaking competitive changes. The queue system is the way it should have been from the beginning. Unfortunately it prevents me from just jumping into a game for a few minutes but it does prevent that annoying "get into a game with $800 on a losing team" and hopefully it will prevent people from quitting out with they start getting their butts kicked. They'll take an ELO hit and be unable to queue for awhile.

I agree. I want a "casual" drop in/out game with competitive settings. Kind of like how competitive was. But I really like the new competitive queuing system as well.

This is perfect except Ranked Competitive should be for solo/duo players as well. Leavers are going to happen in a solo queue but it's doable. Especially as you rise in ELO you'll get less leavers.

So...sounds like they half assed it again. They're halfway there.

They need a proper ranking/stats system with a leaver rating. Come on Valve! Just take what you do in Dota 2, and copy-paste it for CS Go! The solution is so simple. ;_;

I don't know how they didn't see this coming. What do they think would happen without punishing leavers?

What's the point of Casual Competitive? Just play on Community servers...it's the exact same thing, just a different interface for joining.

The point is to play games with the right number of players (5v5), default settings, and hopefully about the same skill level. The main difference between Casual and Comp is that Casual is 10 rounds, which goes by very fast. The other things like no ff, buying armor and kits don't really matter (I'd prefer they weren't there, but whatever).

I think they're going about this the wrong way, people played Comp Matchmaking for those reasons, not because they wanted a real full team that would stick for the entire game. If someone is playing that seriously, they'll scrim or pug.

Looking through community servers is annoying.

99% of them are lame mods that I wouldn't want to play with if they paid me.

Yeah, I never have the game matchmake for me. I go to communtiy servers, refresh all, filter by lowest ping, and then join a game that looks good. I have a few go-to servers now and that is all I need.

I don't wanna be browsing Community hoping I come across some server that has enough people but not too many, and no bullshit rules or modifications. I just want to play the default game on an official server with default player counts, with a click or two once I boot the game, just like I've been doing since the beta before making the decision to buy the game.

100% this. Can't believe they just went and fucked over people used to the way things were instead of introducing the new (and needed) queue playlist separately.

edit-

Official forum is absolutely raging, but I don't even know if Valve reads those, so I hope the player count drops so that they take notice of what they've done. What was yesterday an amazing pickup and play mp game for you and your friends is now something that works against your fun.

I wouldn't mind server browsing if most of them weren't with stupid rules or 24/7 on one map.

Its so hard on PC to find just a regular server that goes through all maps with normal rules that its also the main reason i no longer game on PC.
