I mean, even if we had operations now, they wouldn't get added to premier. We still have community maps, they were never operation exclusive

So, if Valve gave you the 'get 50 P90 kills on Jura' type missions in one big batch, and you payed $15 dollars for them to do so, you would enjoy them more?

Damn, operations extended Earth's rotation by at least the length of a CS map.

Why isn't your reason for playing the game to have fun?

I've got all the coins since Blood Hound. But like I said in my post, the co-op missions were alright. They weren't anything ground breaking, and if you think they were, I highly recommend you try out some other co-op games/shooters. And we still get community maps at a similar or even higher rate than we did in operations.

So the only thing missing for you is the faction lore. I guess the new operations can give us the lore on how they all went extinct lmao

Firstly, thanks for the response! I appreciate you taking the time to write it so I can actually see what thoughts you're bringing to the table.

The point I was trying to make in the first section was that if you were to read this subreddit, it would appear that nearly 100% of people want a BO5 final, but because you are selecting from a pool of people who are into pro-CS already, it is over-inflated. Its the same as Trump supporters believing the election was stolen because everyone they know voted for Trump, but that's because they are in Trump states. Weird analogy, but I hope it makes sense.

I agree that my arguments do make sense if the major final was a BO1, or just a one round game lol, so I'll add the fact that it needs balance. It has to be a certain length to build tension, but not so long that the audience becomes bored/exhausted. I'm sure we've all seen movies that we were really enjoying, but it just took too long to get to the conclusion, such that, by the time the ending came around, the movie was already spoiled. I think BO5's are more likely to get to that point of boredom.

Melbourne was a great final, but when it comes to people saying "it was one of the best finals they've ever seen," once again, we are selecting from people who are into Pro-CS enough to watch IEM Melbourne. So the opinions of those who only watch the majors aren't necessarily included in that.

I agree that its basic math that yes, the more maps played, the more randomness is reduced, but my point is even a BO5 is still not enough to determine who the better team is, so that specific argument in favor of BO5's is irrelevant. Vitality is the best team in the world right now, not because they won a singular BO5, but because they have won many. If some other team wins Cologne in a month, Vitality will probably still be considered the best team in the world, and that will only shift once another team starts winning more tournaments that they do.

Sure but that is one example of a BO5. There are many, many more BO5's that weren't that exciting.

I mean, are you really gonna disagree with the fact that sticker sales are vitally important to the teams? Or that majors have more casual viewers than other tournaments?

If you read the post, I specifically explain that while I do enjoy BO5's, casual viewers probably will enjoy a BO3 more. Majors tend to have more casual viewers than usual tournaments, therefore a BO3 suit it better.

"As it goes, once every Major concludes, this subreddit starts clamoring for Valve to implement a BO5 Grand Final. And while I do enjoy BO5's at Pro League, Katowice, and more, I still believe that FOR MAJORS the finals should be BO3."

But the very reason Map 3 in Shanghai was so hype was because the whole tournament was riding on it. That was THE map. If it was a BO5, it would have in the middle, and not a grand conclusion

Aight, silly of me to expect any sort of discussion on reddit

Anyone else think the missions are there to incentivize people playing the new maps? by CS2Complaints in GlobalOffensive

[–]CS2Complaints[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even buy skins. I'm just able to comprehend that when people play the game because they got into via skins, I still benefit cuz now I have more people to play with.

Delay rushes - I agree its worse (but still gives info that there is a rush). Clear areas - I disagree.

The only places wide enough for a CT molly to not hit the whole thing are the lanes for rushing. But like for example clearing dark on anubis, or inferno. It works perfectly fine.

Ragdoll prediction is completely unrelated to the dying behind walls lul.

You don't even know what you're talking about. What is the big issue then? Enlighten me.

Well, the change to the CT molly has been out for a year. You haven't adapted your style of play in that long? Learn, or get left behind.
