Not going to lie, I haven't played a competitive shooter in years, but I used to play the shit out of CS back in the day. I kind of want to jump into this again.
Indeed. I was pretty decent back in 1.3 days playing on a friend's server who had a frickin T1 line at home. It was just as competitive play was starting to develop and there was no voice chat until Roger Wilco came about. That's partly why I'm not a WASD guy. Gotta keep the fingers on the home row ready to type "I had sex with your mom." not just say it.
Ah, memories.
Played some CS2 last night and it was death match rounds on Dust 2. Unbelievable how fast I die. I just can't even...
However, the game did feel really well polished. Very snappy except for a few lag spikes. I started to limber up and even earned a positive K:D in one round. Well, for most of the round. I fell to - 3 in the last moments, but overall it was pretty fun. Don't think I could hang in a regular match though. Too much time sitting around dead.
Well, the reason dying in death match is faster in CS2 is because now it's FFA, pretty sure in csgo it was team death match.
So now everyone is out to get you, not just the other team.
I get that, especially when the map is fairly small, but I'm talking about the insane twitch reflexes and aim of these players. I feel like 90% of the time it's just thp-thp! and I'm dead, from practically any distance, whereas I'm firing bursts and need a second or three to actually kill someone.
Plus AWPers are unreal. The crosshairs in the scope blur if you move at all, so I can't fathom how these folks are so accurate, but there you have it.
I'm not calling anyone a cheater, just saying the average skill level is far beyond me. I still had fun. Gotta remember, it's easy, just click on their heads.
