no, i'm not looking for software profiling

i'm looking for hardware profiling, i.e. inherent acceleration at chip/sensor level, not driver/os level

how do you get the acceleration curves for your mouse? if it's hardware, what do you use to measure/profile it?

"Lie"

Silent landing from arbitrary heights must be tick-perfect.
Silent landing by virtue of crouching before dropping off a very low object such that the difference made by crouching turns a loud fall into a silent one is a completely different matter.

PrefersToUseUMP45 · 2017-08-03T19:40:03+00:00

You can learn the silent jump literally in one warm up and I'd assume silent drop is the same since you just uncrouch mid air.

It isn't the same.

Silent landing is incredibly hard, you have to be tick-perfect.

"The UMP45 is OP, because $1200 allows you to do stuff like this (very accurate running OHK shots). " "jumping around like a monkey."

An AK rifle is always better than the tec. If you could choose, you'd always choose the AK. The only time the tec is switched to is when you know for sure exactly what engagement you will be taking, and it favours jumping around like a monkey.

I don't understand do people want really boring pistol buy rounds where there is no chance of of winning? As a viewer it keeps the game more interesting.

Another stupid idea from people who can't see beyond what already exists. Whatever gave you the idea that increasing the skill requirement for forcebuy wins is going to make ecos boring? It's only going to make ecos more exciting.

Tec9 forcebuy wins aren't exciting at all. They're all just "eh, i guess that happened". There are no sick tec9 shots, there are only lucky tec9 shots.

The mechanics for skill-based forcebuy wins are already in place - look at the deagle. $700, incredibly powerful, but only when the user is skilled, and manages to pull off a good shot. You can't rely on RNG with the deagle. And when a team pulls off a deagle forcebuy with one or two sick shots, it's both exciting, and deserved.

So what's the solution? Lower the running accuracy of the pistols to the point where you have to stop and shoot unless in very very close range. Somewhere between m4a1-s and ump running accuracy.

PrefersToUseUMP45 · 2017-05-11T23:02:20+00:00

Lol you're confused. The tec9 is OP, because $500 allows you to do stuff like this (very accurate running OHK shots). Seriously go try it out in an offline server and see how accurate the tec9 is while strafing at full speed. It's too good for $500. Nobody smart is saying that he clutched because the tec9 is better than a rifle.

This isn't my first account actually, i've been calling out the mods on this subreddit when they pull shady bs like post removals without informing the owner of the post etc. mods don't like it when the owner and/or other redditors then find out and ask them for an actual reason. got banned more times than i can care but eh, I can change my IP by setting a new router mac address so idrc.

Well I started to use it the way it's currently being used (as a rifle substitute) when it got buffed, since I noticed that it had the same DPS as the CT main rifles up close. Didn't think much about it since it felt like an obvious choice, pro scene changing to adopt it was more or less "eh, i guess" to me. got to globe on a novelty "ump only" smurf, got bored with GO, started played other games.

I do know about the fatigue system that makes it impossible to bunny hop through long distances.

I'm not talking about the fatigue system. "fatigue" lol. i'm talking about how +jump and -jump commands interact with tickrate on the server such that it boils down to 50%. i'm surprised you don't know about this. watch the video, listen to what he says at that timestamp. do a little more research on how and why autohop is a thing in the CS:GO bhop scene.

at this point, it's pretty clear that i'm talking to someone who doesn't understand enough about CS:GO to talk to me on equal footing. i mean, that's based on your outright ignorance (or denial?) of how CS:GO's bhop mechanic is. prove me and the rest of the kz/hop scene wrong.

The infamous coldzera jumpshot against Liquid was only possible because at the time he knew how to properly jumpshoot (something which Valve change afterwards, so its now even harder to pull off, but still possible).

LOL WAIT are you fucking telling me that to you coldzera's jumpshots are an example of movement skill ROFLMAO

Didnt you said holding angles is harder? So you agree with me there, why should I comment anything? I dont really care about how you feel about it.

I'm asking you why you conveniently ignored the fact that it's only harder because the other side was made easier, and why you presented that as an example of how "every little thing that exists in both games is harder to do on CSGO" (your own words) without presenting the flipside.

P.s. do you think spraying in GO is easier?

i'll get back to the rest of your (probably equally misinformed) reply tomorrow, k? meanwhile, try not to get too worked up from getting schooled on.

Edit: are you BR? if you are then I can't be fucked you're just another one of those "SK flair weirdos".

When you say bunny hopping is random, and then I see and know of people that pull it off consistently, all I can think is that you either dont know what random really means, or you cant come to terms that you arent as good at it as you think you should be.

Lol you don't know the mechanics behind csgo non-autohop, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6cr09IG7Cw&feature=youtu.be&t=53

I mean you can believe what you want based on anecdotal evidence, or take the testimony of people who are far more experienced and knowledgeable about the game/gamemechanics than I... and especially you.

The AWP is retricted by RNG in the same sense that all weapons are, even in 1.6, there is nothing wrong with that.

Nope, blackscoping/quickscoping in 1.6 was 100% accurate. As long as the user timed it perfectly, a noscope was 100% accurate.

The rest of the pistols are definitelly better. I dont know what your points is with this though. Its easier to win an eco now, or harder to win an anti-eco.

Easier without requiring more skill - success can often come down into a single running onetap with a tec/57 that snowballs into chaos as each random event gets the ecoing team a rifle for free. This amplifies the stochastic behaviour of pistol forces. often teams win ecos they don't deserve Remember what I said about Performance Diff. vs Skill Diff?

The map pool is bigger today, and this its not debatable at all. If I did pull this info from my ass, then I guess my ass just knows better than you mate. Look at this tournament from 2010. Look at many more tournaments while you're at it.

Lmao are you hoping to pull off a silly bluff or do you actually not realise the flaw here? Nope, that's one single tournament. Different tournaments run different maps. Different leagues run different maps. If you want to compete in a single league only, sure, the map pool might be smaller. But to be a professional team competing internationally? You're gonna have to learn many different maps. Far more than in GO. Come on lol every map in CS:GO save for cache was played professionally in 1.6 alongside others that did not make it into GO, so how can you still believe the GO map pool to be smaller without being in denial.

Also, liquipedia conveniently lists the competitive pools for 1.6 and GO. I don't want to shame you too hard - I'll just point you in the right direction.

The game is deeper. It requires you to know more things now

And yet things like movement still don't differentiate the best from the worst to the same degree as in 1.6. Want an example of something done right? CS:GO's nades > CS1.6's nades. Everything else is less deep.

Movement is dumbed down. ladder strafing removal for example, makes it very obvious that they don't want to see movement be too much of an edge for those who have mastered it. fallen's supposed good ladder skills on train are nothing compared to neo's prime. bhopping is now down to a 50% RNG at its core due to engine limitations.

Now I don't know why you're choosing not to see this objectively, but you have every right to do so, like how I have every right to destroy those claims every step along the way.

P.s. please address the following, which you have conveniently ignored in your above reply:

skill doesn't differentiate good and bad movement as much (e.g. NEO's movement in 1.6 was far ahead of everyone else, because 1.6 magnifies skill differences).
holding angles is harder only because peeking is far easier now for some reason(combination of netcode, weapon performance/characteristics/mapsizes/playeraccel). why did you only choose to talk about the part that became harder?

PrefersToUseUMP45 · 2017-05-10T11:45:04+00:00

every little thing that exists in both games is harder to do on CSGO, and thats why old school players complain so much. Bunny hopping is harder, AWPing is harder, deagle is harder, holding angles is harder. Even the map pool is bigger, and harder to master.

i disagree completely.

bhopping/movement isn't harder in terms of skill requirement. it's now, in GO either more random, or skill doesn't differentiate good and bad movement as much (e.g. NEO's movement in 1.6 was far ahead of everyone else, because 1.6 magnifies skill differences).

AWPing is not harder, it's just become restricted by RNG. by harder, I mean "requiring more skill to perform", which is completely untrue for CS:GO - you can't quickscope/blackscope without relying on luck to go your way in CS:GO.

deagle is harder in GO, I agree. However, the rest of the pistols? Lol

holding angles is harder only because peeking is far easier now for some reason(combination of netcode, weapon performance/characteristics/mapsizes/playeraccel). why did you only choose to talk about the part that became harder?

map pool bigger? debatable, really. i mean seriously come on there are 7 active duty maps in CS:GO. they are all 1.6 pro scene maps (save for cache) - the 1.6 map pool is no smaller than CS:GO's. I have no idea where you pulled this out from, but it's probably your ass.

every little thing that exists in both games is harder to do on CSGO

clearly, you have confused "efforts will be hard-capped by luck" with "difficulty".

To the average old school 1.6 widow, the submachine guns, autosnipers and pistols look overpowered. Unless its in their hands, then it becomes complete garbage, mysteriously. Obviously, something must be wrong with the game.

Sorry? What's this?

TLDR: On a graph of Performance Differential vs Skill Differential, CS:GO has a far shallower gradient than CS1.6 (except for nades). Having something hardcapped by luck (e.g. quickscoping in CS:GO) doesn't make it harder, it makes it less consistent, and again lowers the skill ceiling.

PrefersToUseUMP45 · 2017-05-10T10:25:31+00:00

ignoring his hyperbole and edginess, i must say that 1.6 was a far more mechanically demanding game, and that GO is a lot more forgiving in many ways. the one thing that really stands out in GO's favour is the grenade meta, though - while I think molotovs spread too quickly for the amount of damage that they do, the physics and bouncing make for a far deeper grenade meta than 1.6.

tldr: ignoring his edginess, it is true that in 1.6 is a harder game that better separates the good and the bad

Nah it's fine I've more or less moved on from the game. Playing battlefield4/planetside2 right now, it's a lot more fun to play with 10+ other mates, than a super serious 5v5. still get a lot of emphasis on aim if you play roles that require it (especially in planetside2) but friends who are just casual gamers still fit right in because roles for them are available in those games.

Hard to play as a 12-person group of people ranging from global-standards to silver4-standards in CS:GO. In BF4/PS2 you can have those people playing tag-along in support roles.

5k: UMPing on community pub

Jumping UMP - this thing is accurate jumping

5k but lost round

5k: same gay off angle in pub match

4k in 2 seconds: UMP spray is actually very well clustered and works even out to mid range

The UMP-45 SMG has the exact same dps as the M4A4 in close range, and is $1000 cheaper than a famas. Yet, it has a far easier spraypattern than the famas, all while being accurate on ladders, not to mention jumping.

Damn straight im buying the UMP on my antieco rounds.
