I don't know if this thread is dead yet, but lets hope for the best.

ur supposed to rank up faster if u score more than 40 in a game??
If you're referring to the total points at the end of the game then no. Ranking up faster in the game depends on many factors. First, I'm going to start with what you said. The total points that you've scored in a game doesn't have to be over 40. There are games where your team will do really good and a score of 40 won't be enough. If you do want to rank up faster, here are a few things that I would suggest:

1.If you have played the game for a while now, around 1 year, but you're still in a low rank, silver-nova, due to your early start of MM or any other reason, I suggest to you to get another account and buy the game again. Wait until it gets on sale, and you can get it for around $8. The reason for that is simple. The more you play, the more it will take you to rank up.
2. Follow the 'meta' of the game, meaning that you should avoid maps that are one sided, such as nuke, or maps that are harder for early players, such as cobblestone. Try to stick with the 4 basic maps, dust2, inferno, cache and mirage. Those maps are more balanced and easier to learn.
3. When it comes to the 4 maps listed above, you should try and learn the names of the important sites for each map, so you can better communicate with your team; long, mid, cat etc.
4.What is your team's rank and what is the enemy's rank. This is pretty basic to understand. If you are a much higher rank than your enemy team, the game would 'expect' for you to win, thus you'll get fewer ELO points if you win against a lower rank rather than a higher rank enemy.
5.MVP does matter. The more MVP stars you get, the better.
6.Points matter as well, but there is no certain number of how many total points you should have to rank up faster. It all depends on your team. In order to rank up faster you have to make sure that you remain on the first or second place almost all the time.
7.Finally, if you do decide to buy the game again, make sure that you can ace your promo games. Play daily if you can, and always get the 2 wins/day. If you feel like you're losing games in one day, take a break and repeat the next day. It is very important to be top score,place #1-2 (top fragging) in your team as much as you can. The most important thing is to have the extremely few losses when you do your promos. If you win your 10 promos in a period of 1 week, and lose a maximum of 7 or so games, while top fragging for 50%-75% of your games, you should be placed into MG/DMG at the end of your promos.

Hello, does anyone play this game? I have a "team" that got me deranked on purpose. They said they'd get me up again and they decided to make what they called "****** noises" the entire game and evidently we lost big time.

Wondering if anyone else plays and has some stories or tips. If anyone wants to team up, we can hopefully encounter no smurfs. Just PM/VM me.


This is one of my favorite videos of CS:GO.

Forgot to state I am currently Silver 2
The game goes on sale for $5 a lot so you can pick it up then.

My bf is super into CSGO, his main is MG2 I believe. I'll let him know xD
 
Man that really sucks :( These sorts of things tend to happen with team based games unfortunately... You could have muted them once they started being obnoxious, but I guess the loss is inevitable if they weren't even trying
 
Yeah, the losses add up. I can't believe I was the only one to get deranked. Thanks, though. :)

np :) either way, I'll direct my bf to this thread since I suck at CSGO too much to be of any use. He should be able to give you some tips if you need any c:
 
Hey. So, lets get started. Firstly, and this is the most important thing out of everything that will follow...never play with people that want to derank. Now..here comes the tips I have for you...This may end up being pretty lengthy.

1.Learn all the competitive maps that the game offers, and when I say learn them...I mean memorize them. If someone where to give you a pencil and a paper and tell you the name of the map, you should be able to sketch it perfectly the way it is in-game. Learn the names of all the spots in every competitive map...terms like cat,long,pit,secret etc.

2. Play daily. There is no point in trying to be good if you only play once a week. Try to play daily, for as much as you can. I recommend somewhere between 2-3 hours at least. 1 hour worth of deathmatch and 2 hours of competitive. This should be a daily routine, but you can always replace competitive with more deathmatch, but never the opposite.

3.HS only. This goes with a lot of aim practice. Play lots of deathmatch against other players and always aim for the head. This takes a while to master, a few months, or years, it is all up to how much you play per day.

4.Keep your crosshair at level head/chest level.

5.Know your angles/play with the wall. What I mean by this is pretty simple. Whenever you're trying to peek your enemy, do it so that the distance between you and wall is the smallest possible. Basically, avoid wide peeks. This also includes knowing basic spots for each map, where your enemy might be so you can have your crosshair already placed in the right direction.

6.Shooting; I would like to divide this part in 3 smaller sections.
a)1-2 bullets ; Shoot 1-2 bullets at the enemy with a pause of 1-1.5 seconds after each 1-2 bullets. Use this method of shooting if there is a large distance between you and the enemy.
b) 5 bullets; Shoot 5 bullets at the enemy with a pause of 1-1.5 seconds after 5 consecutive bullets. Keep in mind that for the last 2 bullets you should pull down your crosshair, just a little bit, so that you can control your spray pattern. Use this method if the opponent is at a medium distance away from you.
c)Full on spray; As the name tells you, use all the bullets you've got into a single reload for this method. In order to use this method you have to learn the spray pattern of the weapons, and to control it perfectly so that your bullets don't end up all over the place. Each weapon has a different spray pattern. I suggest you look up some youtube videos for this one. Practice makes it perfect. Only use this one if the enemy is very close to you.

Note: you may switch between a or b regardless of the distance, depending on the situation that you're in. After a while of playing deathmatch/competitive you will figure out which one to use at a certain time.

7. Avoid crouch spraying as much as you can. This might be an effective way to kill your enemy, but the truth about it is the following...If you can't kill the enemy within the first 5-6 bullets, you're dead.

8. Find the best config settings for you. Search up the internet for a list with config settings that might be useful for you, and adapt those to fit your style. You may want to use a crosshair generator in order to make the perfect crosshair for you etc. There is a lot to talk about those kind of settings so it is better to search up on Google for something that specifically talks about those kinds of settings.

9. Watch pros...This will not help you a lot in terms of shooting or what not, since it is better to experience it yourself rather than looking at someone who already knows how to do it relatively perfect, but pros are useful if you want to learn new inventive strategies that could potentially apply to any sort of competitive game. Things like boost over a smoke or all sort of tricks.



This is all I could think of that is worth mentioning. If something else comes up, I'm going to edit the post/reply.

Thanks! I'm extremely guilty of crouch shooting due to my experience in other shooting games. I also get scared if I'm cornered and run/shoot which I know is extremely ineffective.
 
I'm Silver 4! This game is fun. I can't queue with people out of asia though..
 
The game is fun. It's too bad that there are not many people on the forums playing it. Heh, nothing much to expect, as far as I could tell, the forum contains mostly 3DS games. There is another main thread for CS:GO... but it's not active at all.

Oh, didn't know.
I didn't expect a lot of people to like this game. People say it's just COD with a different name. smh.

There are plenty of people that like this game, it's just that you don't really find many in a forum such as belltree. I would say that COD is a cheap copy of the game, with fancier graphics but with really poor quality competitive gameplay compared to cs. CS will be here for a while since it can be played by anyone as it doesn't require a powerful computer to run it properly.

Is that a good game?

CS GO is great if you're casual or if you're the competitive type of person, but here's a little advice. If you want to play it casually but still do competitive matches, I suggest you find 4 other people with the same idea in mind just so you can avoid getting kicked and so on by the so called "pros" of the game.



Overall, I'm glad that this thread came back to life. If there are any questions about the game itself etc, please ask and I'll respond to them as soon as I can.

Any tips on the AWP? I do the switch thing (Press 2-switch to Pistol, Press 1-switch back to AWP).

Any tips on the AWP? I do the switch thing (Press 2-switch to Pistol, Press 1-switch back to AWP).

When you're using an awp, or any weapon for that matter, instead of pressing 2-1 to switch between the weapon and pistol, use q(default key) to switch to the weapon you had previously. To do this, you will have to make sure that the pistol was your previous gun and the one that you're using at the moment is your main weapon. In my opinion, it is faster and more efficient to use the q method rather than the numbers. It also decreases the chance of switching to the wrong weapon by accident.

Now, when it comes to tips for the awp:
1. Since awp got nerfed recently so that you have a slower walking speed while scoped, avoid picking wide corners and walking with the awp while you're scoped.
2. Lean how to quick-scope. You have to have a pretty decent mouse with a good response time in order to be able to press right -left click fast enough. While you're quick-scoping, imagine a dot in the center of your monitor. That is where your bullet is most likely to hit if you quick-scope correctly. You can even take a piece of tape and put it in the center of the monitor; some people used to do that in cs 1.6, don't know about cs go but you could give it a try.
