I think for the most part they are used to it. Have been playing in that aspect ratio for many years.
Funny thing is, I've played for about 4 hours and haven't got a single drop
It's sad because at the end of almost every round, someone else is getting a drop.CountAntonius

Yep I've had twitch open and linked to steam since the very first game. Haven't missed a single one and have yet to get a single drop.
Sad to see Complexity getting spanked but I've been rooting for NiP. They have done so much for CS it's only right they win the first big tournament.
Holy shit CS:GO just hit 94k Concurrent players on steam. Wow.

Don't forget to boot up csgo to check for drops. For some reason I thought I would get notified through steam, but it actually doesn't give you any notification.
Only got some trash dualies though

Booted cs go. No drops. damn you volvo.
got 2 drops, way more than i expected, but an auto sniper and a nova aint close to my brother's $500+ dota 2 tourney drop... =(
im kinda dissapointed that the finals are between nip and fnatic, im a huge nip fan, but i think nip vs vg would have been a way more hype finals than semis

I stil don't get how the drops work. Do I have to be ingame while wathcing?

Either watching in game or through twitch with an account linked to your steam.
I just left the twitch stream runing at home. While checking my steam inventory just now for something unrelated I noticed the two new souvenir boxes in the csgo section.
btw if you want a souvenir weapon, you can get a bunch for less than a buck http://steamcompanion.com/index.php...max&filter_submit=Filter&order=price&sort=ASC
I'm kind of disappointed that the new drops are just mostly old skins on different weapons

God I suck at this game.
I put the D in K/D.

That's why I play offline with bots.
Someone explain the item drop system they introduced. It's not in the console versions (obviously) so it's a new thing coming to the PC version.
It's not like TF2?

At the end of every round there is a chance for random drops. Cases which can contain even rarer weapon skins also drop. You need to buy key to open them though.

Yeah it's like TF2: skins and cases drop until you reach the weekly limit, you can open the cases with keys, you can sell them, same as the weaponskins, most rare/valuable stuff is only in the cases with low percentage of finding them. Biggest difference is that it's (still) more limited than TF2: not hundreds of cases but a handful and no new guns or outfits/stuff, just skinsThat's why I play offline with bots.

Edit: ah yeah, they only drop at the end of the match though.

My first competitive match
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=200368701
Sadly on of the guys from the other team left before the match ended. Very happy with the game, i'm really enjoying it. They nailed it with the guns they feel so much better compared with Source.

Bought the game when it was on sale a few days ago, is there any guide or else I should read/watch/whatever to learn the basics? Like the shooting, I saw there are some guides to learn how to stutter-step, spray,burst, etc..

Well, i'm no pro but first improve your movement skills, i'd say is as important as knowing how to shoot well. Here you have a tutorial about how to sidestep while shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCtal_f8nJI
Once you know how to move well, chose a few weapons (a pistol, a submachine gun, a pair of rifles) and try to get better with them. There are plenty of tutorials for each weapon on youtube from pro players.
Add me to steam if you want to play some matches and we can improve together

Why did they changed the behavior of hostage from "lead" to "carry?"
It's kinda jarring coming from the console version and I'm not sure of a logical change in terms of balance/gameplay that needed it.
I wouldn't mind an option of having both, honestly. Leading the hostages was intense because the terrorists could murder them in cold blood to stop you.

Because the hostage ai was incredibly stupid and would often get stuck which lead most people to not bother and turned the mode into deathmatch. At least now it's pretty much one flag ctf.

In addition to what Count said, the CTs could rescue two hostages, murder the other two, and win the round.
It was broken, and needed fixing. Valve's solution works.
Anyone?
Almost certain that is a (very annoying) bug they keep forgetting to fix.

The hostage AI was too much of a random element. Though I still don't expect to see hostage maps ever played competitively because they're basically just CT's walking into a slightly different deathtrap every time when it's only 10 players.
And do people actually use the SSG, or just save up for AWP? It seems to fire slower than in CSS.

Depends, since Dust II is almost always what is 'randomly' picked for competitive if I leave it in the list, I'll use that as reference. In mid the sniping war can be pretty interesting if both teams have snipers, it's possible to take out an AWP with an SSG if you're good. (always feels sooo good too.)
And if your team is a bit down, you could possibly save money this way too, as it's much cheaper to buy the

SSG 08 is a good early round weapon. It can kill an unarmored target with a single headshot or stomach shot. But it's risky going for that over a cheap assault rifle or SMG.
It's pretty tough to use that weapon against the AWP or autosniper in later rounds, though.

I played deathmatch for a week and all it did was make me really bad at the game. Fun.
I legitimately feel like mowing down bots on office in offline Competitive before I even touched matchmaking was far more helpful than online deathmatch. I'm not touching casual because Counter-Strike with 20 players is just nonsense.
And do people ever use burst on the FAMAS now? I heard it got buffed in the past couple weeks/ months.

Just had such a great match! We lost, but it was so much fun! Total randos in competitive matchmaking but everyone was just lively and having a great time. Super Atypical experience and really fulfilling.

There was a time I would use the FAMAS over the M4.
They keep tinkering and I just cant be arsed with learning.
