Guh...I played for like 3 hours yesterday and I was TERRIBAD. Played with combatrhombus (traginis) some. I just feel like there's this disconnect between what I KNOW I should do and what I ACTUALLY do in game...I would consider myself a decent player that consistently makes bad decisions. Yesterday was full of them. In similar fashion, sometimes I feel like I shoot really well and others I feel like I can't hit ANYTHING (again, yesterday was one of those days).

Come to think of it, the way I described my Counter-Strike game is probably the same way I would describe my basketball game.

well just got a radeon 6870. going to install tonight and test her out :P

So wowww. Went from an HD 5550 to an HD 6870.. lol

Smooth, fluid frame rate at 1920x1080 and all settings on High. Amazingly different from my 800x600 4:3 lol

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I have an ESEA 3 month code that I will not use and I couldn't find anywhere else to give it away. Hope someone here can use it.

go to www.eseapremium.com/pny and enter code ESM76MDB

On a related note - how do you (and any other CAGs) like ESEA? I am thinking about giving it a try, hoping to improve my horrible game.

I figure if I improve at CS, I can do better at BF3 and COD, if I decide to try those again.

I love ESEA. I've never been a fan of public multiplayer games where its 15v15 and everyone is just kind of doing their own thing. I'm way more into a highly competitive 5v5 game where teamwork is king. Unfortunately, if you're also into that, then you really have no other choice than to throw down the $7 a month for ESEA.

The built-in match making is a joke in CSGO and all the public servers are some lame shit like 30-man Office/Italy games.

Just picked up CS:GO and I see what you mean.

I would love to get back into some 5v5 matches, but so far all of the servers that I have been were arms race this and arms race that.

Thanks for the heads up, SEH. I will probably try it out. $7/mo. isn't too horrible if it makes me a better player. I'm thinking of getting a streaming setup to document my progress.

I recently started competitive matchmaking, and at first it was kind of a pain to use, but I think some of the updates they've made improved it some. It generally takes about 3-5 minutes to start a game, and I'm usually put with people of similar skill which is nice. I just need to win two more matches before I'm assigned a rank...what is everyone else's rank here?

The just released new community maps on dedicated servers. I bought the pass and I have been playing again from time to time. I've only played the Favela and Museum so far and they're done really well. If anyone wants to try feel free to add via steam my link is in my signature.

Bringing back a thread from the past.

I loved the new update where they made the Deagle more accurate. So much better now. Also the auto shotty is a beast. Sweeet.
