C) He is pre-aiming at kids through walls, then no scoping them halfway across maps. /end D) 95% of the movie he is looking at a direction that could have easily been called out by a teammate or determined by sound. I only saw one awp clip where he pre-aimed through a wall, usually he aims at a crack. The real question is whether his reflexes are that good, and whether his ability to find the center of his screen is that good.

I don't use one because I don't like the feel. Also they started the entire dpi wars escapade, and thereby needlessly increased prices of mice. A lot of people I play with noticed that the copperhead and g5 both skip enough to be noticeable, therefore i'd recommend deciding between the diamondback and mx518. Also the g5 lost a button . Check this out http://www.nytejade.com/category/18/blogid/4 edit: you can also save the money you would've spent on a newer mouse, and get a steelpad 5L

any brief period you aren't using your mouse, it needs to reset its signal with the base. This is to conserve energy over using a constant signal. Admittedly, the delay caused by this is minimal, but you'll notice it when you put your mouse down for a sec and have to get back to fragging. You dont have this problem, or any other wireless delay people have noticed with usb. I also had a huge problem with my desk being kind of cluttered and the placement of my base station when I used an mx1000. It was advertised as the same signal speed as usb, but I still like the mx518 better.

1. You don't want to play FPS with a wireless mouse, ever. 2. You don't need 30000000 dpi, some people like it, but it's far and away too excessive 3. I use the mx518, and I'm a huge fan

point taken, but then again, i only hopped on the discussion train after it left argument station ;D Also playaa, im not trying to prove you wrong, im trying to prove me not wrong

k, so for the average user macs are better, conceded. for me windows runs problem free. why are people like me still trying to be converted by people like sj? I use windows because a)I'm used to it and I have no problems with it. At the same time I have no problems with mac either. Soooo, in order to answer whats the better OS for me question? I pick the one I know about because frankly, I don't have the time to learn new things.

preview for next week: arguably the best cs team ever

I'll see your party sub, and raise you one party animal. I'm available all night baby.

most of the mac supporters almost always assume several things a) windows users are dumb windows users can't take care of their computer c) windows users would rather have a dell instead of a mac For me personally, all three of these are false. I haven't gotten adware/spyware/viruses in who knows how long, I've worked in IT and am not dumb. I do have to update windows regularly, boohoo, it does it overnight and I don't notice. I haven't bluescreened since I built this computer. My windows isn't bloated, or fat, because I took care of that during the install process. I also installed my own theme, so my computer is visually appealing to me. I do agree with one thing, I'd rather have a mac over a dell laptop. Above those though, I'll keep my self built windows desktop. As far as laptops go, I would either build my own or get a mac. I completely agree that most namebrand windows pcs are poop. My biggest complaint about macs? I don't really have one except that their users won't stop trying to convert me when I'm perfectly fine and hassle free with my windows comp.

good in the sense of what we call a good beer? or good in the sense that you can check your email on it, and it sprays you clean when youre done pooping

the reasons I like this video a) well done so much controversy on whether he cheats, just uses a dot on his monitor, or is genuinely that good

Miami at Houston Atlanta at Tennessee Jacksonville at Kansas City NY Jets at NY Giants Carolina at New Orleans Arizona at St. Louis Cleveland at New England Seattle at Pittsburgh Detroit at Washington Tampa Bay at Indianapolis San Diego at Denver Baltimore at San Francisco Chicago at Green Bay Dallas at Buffalo

one thing windows users can do that mac users can't, shut the heck up about their OS

He does it on clients , but I dont know if he's lanned yet.

the reason you dont want to use dmz is because its analagous to running out of a trench naked in ww1. It doesn't affect steam's performance.

you change any router settings in the past week?

oh my He actually did it again! Yep, here's another video for you guys to watch. First however: WARNING: If you are easily offended by silly names people use in scrims then this movie might not be for you. With that said, on with the show! This movie chronicles amazing rounds as played by Pondfiller. He has a nasty 1.6 awp, so nasty that there is a chunk of the 1.6 community that thinks he cheats, or at least has the center of his screen marked. Decide for yourselves! Things to take away: He generally has a good burst pattern and spray control, which may pertain to you if you play 1.6. If not then examine his ability to constantly change positions while defending a point (he gets a pick then falls back to a new angle, etc.) Also examine his ability to check everything while retaking a site or taking a site for the first time. Things not to worry about: OMGQUICKSCOPE...seriously this is some of the most ridiculous unscoped awping I have ever seen. Holy. Carp. http://files.filefront.com/Pondfiller2+Ove...;/fileinfo.html

Before you think this is a ridiculous/sarcastic tip, usually cs:s will download any files you still need from the server you're on...so it really will probably work.

Also on the TF2 server? And if it isn't, should it be? I don't think I'm banned from it (haven't tried), but I definitely don't want to overstep my bounds without asking.

+1. But if you still want to go then do what you want and dont care about the rest. Seriously, maybe if you didn't go, you'd have more money and could buy something nice...but in the back of your head will be a tiny voice always saying "what if I did?"

While I am aggravated by the whole team stacking nonsense, it's not like every pub out there is actually hosted on a good server, and it's not like I want to just ditch all the friends I do have here, so I'd rather put up with it. I didn't want this to turn into an angry thread and it has, so I'd appreciate if a mod closed it or something. It's just making me look like an aggressor when I'm not trying to be. Fair enough. You were trying to make a point that you felt was important, and it turned ugly on you. Happens to the best of us . In response to your posts, I would say that this is a game, plain and simple. As such it is ment to be fun. If it was a sport, then I could understand the idea of trying to win being greater than trying to have fun. But its not. Do I get frustrated when I get destroyed by someone in this game? Heck yeah! And thats the crux of this issue. At what point does the fun of the majority trump the fun of the one? If time after time one guy, or group of people, create a atmosphere of 'unfun' (heh) on the server, what should we do? Regardless of whether it is intentional or not, 'we' need to address it in some fashion. Can we make everyone better, and thus create a more level playing field? No. Can we remove the thorn in the side of fun? Yes, but that seems pretty extreme to me. Can we talk to those who are causing this outcry and come to some sort of agreement, thus maintaining the fun environment we all love and cherish? Yes, and that seems like the best way to go. So what do you think Tookie? Given that we can not make people play better, or work as a team, what are our options? Would you like to just leave, I for one would not like to set that presidence. Or would it be better for everyone if we shuffled the teams if it gets to be 0-4 or so? I also think it would be fun to trade the 2 worst players on the losing side for the two best players on the winning side. Heck, the 2 sent to the winning side might even get some kills and have fun then! In the end, we are here to have fun. Thats all. You shouldn't expect anything else from us. Shaftiel Fair enough, and I agree for the most part. But what happens when its 4-0 not because of stacking, but because for example all the ct's on cbble rush when they shouldn't...several times in a row? My argument here I guess now that I put more thought into it is that stacking isnt *always* the problem?

While I am aggravated by the whole team stacking nonsense, it's not like every pub out there is actually hosted on a good server, and it's not like I want to just ditch all the friends I do have here, so I'd rather put up with it. I didn't want this to turn into an angry thread and it has, so I'd appreciate if a mod closed it or something. It's just making me look like an aggressor when I'm not trying to be.

The real point of this thread was as a response to admins yelling at us for stacking when teams weren't all that stacked. This does happen really frequently, and its really aggravating, but whatever...I guess its falling on deaf ears and I'll be forced not to play with friends as long as an admin thinks its not right. I still maintain that two of us on one team isn't stacked, and 3 of us on one team with 1 of us on the other, is still not stacked. But we get yelled at for it anyway. I frankly don't care if I'm one of the 2, or one of the 3, but I guess that if some admins do, I will respect their decision. This wasn't really supposed to turn into a fight the power kinda thread, and I guess it did, so I apologize.

Notice how I said "You" Ive talked to both parties of the hacking accusation you are speaking about. If nuggz is upset about that situation, maybe he should post about it. He hasn't seemed upset about it the last few nights in vent. We actually think its kind of funny more than anything else, but I was just pointing out that it happened. Not that we felt offended.

I was definitely in the server when someone offered one hundred dollars to the person who caught nuggz cheating, because he was sure of it and no one had gotten around to demoing him. I was also definitely in the server when an admin told nuggz he couldn't join a team until he was the last person to join. Those both definitely happened. And to answer bubblegum bandits questions: So if you guys are such "good" players because of your teamwork. Why not switch teams and help others to learn. If you took it upon yourselves to do that, you wouldn't have to worry about any of these problems. You would have lots of friends who could give you the comfort and trust of watching your backs.I have in the past, spent time with people who wanted lessons from me (because for some reason they think im good). They weren't afraid to ask for help and I gave it. Most of the time however when I try to give advice to a teammate they yell at me for not letting them play their way, so I gave up unless it was asked for. It seems to me that people *don't* want to get better. Us unstacking in the short term only helps these pubbers stay bad, and leads to even more complaining when we do play on the same team. I would argue it actually hurts in the long run, and the more we unstack, the more we are forced to unstack unreasonably. I do have respect for, and follow the rules...but its getting a little ridiculous when people cry stack when there are only two of us on the same team, or three of us on one team and one of us on the opposite. I agree it really isn't our decision whether or not a map was good, but if for example we did unstack aztec or played t-side (both of which we do regularly), the ct's would still for the most part win, and the t's would all rush out and die excepting a few who the burden of clutching rests upon. Thats how every round goes on aztec. On inferno, once the ct's win a round, all the t's get scared and don't leave spawn for the rest of the map. On office a couple of ct's rush and die, or rush and meet the rushing t's. After that its up to a couple of t's who hid to win the round. On italy, if you rush theres a 90% chance you get killed in the side by a flanker, so you have to camp and take it slow. You can see why these maps get repetitive, or not fun after a while. But I can see why its still not our decision and even when t's get skunked with us stacking the terrorist side, it could maybe be fun for someone else. (Another note to point out, we've only done this a few times, but for the larger part we play the hard side on every map we join. Once we get tired of having to do all the work on the hard side, we switch for a couple of maps...this usually happens when its aztec or cbble, you get sick of playing t-side on these maps every time pretty quickly.) Finally as a last point, if any of you remember when I first started playing at GC I was horrendous. I was still in AoD (random pub clan), and could only get kills with p90s. I just hung around/got stomped by other people in the server, and I got better. I still do get stomped by people, and learn from it. To me, its the easiest way to learn how to play.
