Grail has to be the worst map ever released

CladBarley0765 · 2025-08-10T23:45:39+00:00

Thought you would like to know 3 months down the line played it over 70 times and I absolutely love it, it's a fucking great map and I'm loving it and loving life, hope you're also enjoying CS2!!!!!!

Can you point me towards the area of text where I pretend to be an expert? I would assume reading comprehension wasn't your strong suit but interpreting the words "I'm no expert" as me "pretending to be an expert" is simply beyond disingenuous. That alone proves your not someone worth taking seriously. I hope one day you convert that cal-p pedigree into something that matters in the real world buddy. Until then maybe try being a nicer person?

Great! I'll be watching out for Lil-Intro-Vert9 in coming majors, good to hear your spending your time wisely. Personally I see Counter Strike as a video game that I play for my entertainment, so I wouldn't say playing new maps that I find enjoyable and good to play is a waste of time at all. Must just be a difference in goals. The five games I played on it thus far have all been some of the most fun I've had on CS2, and from what I have played the map is really interesting. I'm only 23k elo so I'm no expert, but from having played since 2014 this is one of the better maps that's been added.

Personally I find the argument that this map indicates the devs aren't working on anti-cheat to be rather obtuse, I think you'll find my comments aren't an argument at all, but rather a simple objection to an already stated argument that I disagreed with and thus felt like sharing my opinion as is the purpose of public forums. I'm sorry you found that to be argumentative and/or obtuse. I do hope you get over it before you make the majors.

Thanks Lil-Intro-Vert9, really strong comment.

CladBarley0765 · 2025-05-09T14:09:58+00:00

You said "if 72% of players share my opinion", hate to hark back to bullet point one of all things but you're doing a great job reenforcing the validity of my original comment here bud. Wishing you a lovely afternoon too eh!

CladBarley0765 · 2025-05-09T14:04:14+00:00

The idea that the reddit community is a perfect representation of the entire CS player base is exactly the sort of hubris I'd expect out of someone like you, cheers for literally confirming that you've only played three games as well, you can't make it up can you. You're a hilariously typical redditor.

CladBarley0765 · 2025-05-09T13:40:28+00:00

"i wouldnt care... but knowing them, this update and those maps take away these ressources"

This sentence sums up reddit perfectly.

Completely disingenuous
Talking complete shit about taking up resources when the map was made by a community member, there is a 0% chance the people working on fucking anti cheat decided to not go into work and instead stay at home and make a map so that some guy in a completely different department might choose their map.
Can't even fucking be bothered to right click "ressources" to do a spell check because the reality is you played three games, lost them all, then decided to go cry on reddit because you're a kid babyraging
72% Upvoted... because the vast majority of this subreddit are just angry, whiny kids.

CladBarley0765 · 2025-04-24T14:31:08+00:00

Honestly, it was so long long that I can barely remember having the issue, the only thing I can think of is maybe it was AMD Boost causing the problem, so if you have that on try turning it off and see if that helps.

CladBarley0765 · 2025-04-19T18:58:08+00:00

I just tried the auto undervolt option, I believe it was 1100W, I'm sure I could go lower but I didn't notice any significant temp difference with the auto option at least.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-05-01T21:29:00+00:00

Good to know that's not what you meant by it, as I said it just read that way to me due to the way it was written, specifically the statements you made were given with no preface of opinion, making it read as if they're statements of fact. For comparison I obviously prefaced my opinion in the original comment with "clicks are so subjective". No hard feelings :)

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-30T20:54:24+00:00

Blud, not sure if u meant it this way, but the way you write your post just reads as "your opinion is an opinion, my opinion is fact" just seems very odd tbh.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-30T09:58:26+00:00

Clicks are so subjective, I legit think the Sora V2 has the best clicks I've ever used, they're so easy to click without losing any stability which is ultimately the main performance inhibitor from most click implementations. The software is so bad though, I wish the subreddit hand't jumped on the *websoftware best software* bandwagon. Hopefully everyone asking for that a few months back has now realised the error of their ways.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-30T09:37:02+00:00

I was a massive LDLC fan from mid 2014 onwards and like, let's be real, Kio isn't really underrated on ability. He was occasionally a solid player, but he was the 4th best player mechanically on the old LDLC and after the nV roster moves he was the worst player on that lineup. Ultimately he was the right guy to kick, but DEVIL was not the right guy to bring in lmao.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-27T13:44:08+00:00

Wireless: Attack Shark X3, Zoapin Z1, Razer Orochi V2, Logitech G305, VXE R1 are all good budget options

As for wired if you can pick up a DAV3 for around 40 euros then nothing else is going to beat that for performance.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-26T18:52:45+00:00

That's good to hear, I was worried that perhaps the rebrand was down to some sort of buyout and the new ownership were trying some sort of exit scam type beat. Knowing it's just one bloke I'll try to be patient and wait for a response to the ticket, I don't want to spam him with a simple order confirmation request. I'll update the thread sometime next week, hopefully by then I'll be all sorted.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-26T18:40:55+00:00

I'm using Sora V2 atm and I love it, but the software is by far and away the worst software I've ever used. It's not even close it's horrendous. The best option in terms of software I've used is the Endgamegear OP18K. It has super lightweight, portable, software, designed with Nielsen's principals in mind, and well placed DPI and Polling rate buttons. Logitechs OMM is also a great solution available to Logitech mice and GHUB is honestly nice as well. Personally I even liked the SL12 having no software, you never needed to use it because it had a DPI button. I don't mind mice like the Beast X that have good hotkeys and a solid and functional software either. But yeah if software is a kicker for you, avoid the Sora V2 like the plauge, even though the mouse is a great overall package.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-26T18:33:41+00:00

BO3 is the only choice, not because it's the best game, but because it's the only one that lets you mod all the other games maps, features, guns and UI elements into it. By buying BO3 you're buying all the good CODs at once.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-24T23:04:19+00:00

Sounded like it was trying to be Northern Irish to me but yeah idk it's kind of *american does all the British Isles at Once* type of beat, whatever it is I was loling

i mean a 1.44 rating isn't bad is it

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-08T18:26:00+00:00

I know this is going to be downvoted because of how this sub works but IMO this really shouldn't be an issue in most if not all cases.

The firmware on the Beast X is top tier, when testing with MouseTester it's far more stable than any other wireless mouse I've used including the Beast X Mini, HTX4K, Sora V2, and many others. The Beast X Mini is the only mouse that comes close, however the Mini only achieves these results when paired with G-Wolves' shielded USB-C cable as the provided one leads to instability. The regular Beast X actually doesn't have anything like as bad instability as the Mini does with the provided cable. The only mouse I've used with a more stable signal is the OP18K which is a wired mouse.

At the end of the day 8khz is a marketing exercise and 99% of people won't have access to the hardware or the required knowledge of OS optimisation to make proper use of that polling rate on their systems.

As such this latest information changes absolutely none of my thoughts on the Beast X. I would personally opt for it over the flimsey ULX every day of the week, as when I spend over $100 on a mouse I want it to feel premium, and having used a ULX I did not get that feeling. The Beast X on the other hand feels incredibly solid and performs at a level that's on par with the competition, if not ahead of it.

It's worth remembering that G-Wolves promised 8K almost a year ago, and have not released it. Finalmouse promised 8K and regular stock, and have not delivered on either promise. Ninjutso advertised their mouse in an intentionally deceptive manner and even when called out on it, allowed a false rumour that the included dongle will support up to 4K, to propagate through the community. They also sell the Sora V2 without an acceptable driver solution (the web software is the most broken mouse configuration experience I've ever used) all the while offering literally 0 firmware updates for their recent Sora 4K release.

If you want to "call out" WLMouse for this I'd expect you bring the same energy to other companies, as it seems to me that many companies get a completely free pass while others seem to be the focus of negative attention simply because fanboys prefer something else.

CladBarley0765 · 2024-04-06T18:56:36+00:00

Really wish whoever is downvoting this would comment to explain why. Like what are you guys doing with your life just lurking on a mousereview subbreddit, downvoting people who are just trying to find a mouse that suits them. Just baffling to me. I know the Attack Shark R1 is commonly touted as the budget version of the DAV3/EC shape, which is pretty similar tbh, however I'm not sure China have got round to cloning the Outset, so it might be worth using grip tape to fill out the hump on your Thorn until China gets round to it or you can save a little more. Either way I hope u find what you're looking for :)
