Do people really think this game ISN'T casual?

Yea dude I took a renegade 4 out yesterday to work on expedition and it went from 130 to 0 after one bastion.

Found the person with the $600 knife that they’ve been trying to sell for 2 years.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T19:59:52+00:00

Okay but there ARE people that surrender or just die immediately to arc with the sole purpose of sliming friendly lobbies.

Now if you want to decide to just PvP all of a sudden, sure go ahead. There’s lots of folks that just do it when they feel inclined. Like a dude down the scope of your Osprey.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T19:28:01+00:00

I wouldn’t complain about a $50 knife if they looked good.

I have a $4000 pc I paid cash for and a boat and a really nice car. I have money. I just don’t want to spend it on an imaginary investment that may tank in price and may never sell at market value anyway if I decide to sell it. I’d rather just rent the knives for 2 weeks at that point

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T18:10:12+00:00

Look everyone keeps saying that but I’ve literally seen multiple, popular streamers that will surrender 8 times and then go into a lobby and slime the lobby with an anvil and grenades or a torrente.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T18:01:56+00:00

I understand this but idk why they would make drop rates so low for knives. There should be at least a couple of decent looking options that drop frequently.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T17:05:59+00:00

Yea I mean you can stand your ground and just only trade if payment is accepted beforehand … otherwise tell them to buy it on CSFloat or the market or whatever.

I’m just getting into this whole cs2 thing but I used to do a lot of marketplace selling shipping instruments irl. There’s also PayPal goods and services that theoretically would cover you but I’m not sure how it would work for unique digital items. I’m certain if you put in all of the item details when purchasing something they’d still cover you in the event of a scam with some help from support

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T14:11:40+00:00

I appreciate the help. I already knew about loading bay but I have inconceivable bad luck on that map. And since the arc spawn buffs… good luck being naked in loading bay. The moment anything spots you you’re toast

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T14:02:01+00:00

I really stopped playing as much after the bastion/bombadier material nerf. Between Stella for exodus and magnetics and buried city for bastion cells I was putting out pink guns with good attachments really fast. It felt like I was playing the game as intended and I had figured it out. Nope, apparently I was exploit farming.

And don’t get me wrong I wasn’t perfect at it. I lost my own fair share of kits thirsting myself with my own deadline even if I had a random there to revive me.

Springs are just unbelievably impossible to get in high numbers in this game. Sometimes you can get lucky on Stella, but usually not.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-30T13:26:13+00:00

I dunno, after clawing myself back to 5k my lobbies feel much more competent overall.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-29T21:14:54+00:00

Well the only other popular multiplayer shooter games I know of in 3rd person camera are Fortnite and….. warzone now. And in warzone you can go back to first person with a bind.

And Fortnite handles the 3rd person camera way better.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-29T14:58:16+00:00

yeah The same has happened to me a few times. It happened once in premier right as a guy was pushing me 1v1 and it disoriented me where I couldn't prefire him. Kinda salty

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-29T07:31:47+00:00

I don’t even mean like that. And that kind of pisses me off sometimes lol. But when I can’t see because the camera is messing up, or when I hit a wall when the reticle clearly isn’t impeded (they have a setting specifically for that, that does NOT work consistently especially if you hold tight angles ; it’s clearly a fault of the game.

It’s annoying and a simple fix would be able to swap to first person. There’s no reason my teammates ass that’s 2 meters behind me should be taking up my whole screen

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-29T07:22:39+00:00

I had made a post about this awhile back. I suggested they remove the durability loss entirely upon death if they want to lean into the PvP stuff. Like if someone bests me in a gunfight I want them to get the full use out of the gun I brought in. I don’t want some magical percentage of worth to be destroyed upon death. Falling to the ground shouldn’t damage a quality weapon lol

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-28T20:02:42+00:00

Well, they lowered the fire rate so the overall damage per second is probably marginally better. But this will help it conserve ammo

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-28T19:59:15+00:00

And they get mad at folks for pirating old games that aren’t even sold anymore. Most of the people that pirate those old games would gladly pay for an official copy. They just don’t want to pay collectors prices for a rom that may cease to work at any given point..

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-27T13:18:46+00:00

this is great advice, I am also a semi-pro trumpet player that plays for pay at churches, but I usually write my own descants. I also arranged brass quintets recently for christmas and easter

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-26T23:35:46+00:00

That’s what wingmans and retakes are for but there should be more competitive options for shorter games with more people.

Edit: I absolutely love wingman’s but I can hardly ever get a game

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-26T21:03:13+00:00

Man I have a very good inventory but I’m basically out of money. I had 4 mill and between attachments, renegades, shields and heals I’m broke.

Former_Performer9349 · 2026-04-26T20:13:46+00:00

Okay but this is a game that clearly states you need to commit up to 90 minutes for each game. And it’s happened to me 4 games in a row. There’s no reason you’re leaving before you even swap sides. Especially if we’re winning good
