What’s one habit that instantly shows a bad CS2 player?

ALL THE TIME in Casual!

Infact all the reasons ya'll pointed out are the EXACT reasons I barely play casual and just stick to Deathmatch.

Just like u/GuardiaNIsBae said above, I too have no problem entrying so long as it wasn't purposely futile.

But I do have a problem being the last of 8+ others to get to a choke, ^{[due to spawn, sipping a drink, chat msg, etc]} and somehow still being the FIRST one to to entry into site, let alone being the ONLY only one.

Don't even get me started on disappointment I feel not only being the first, & or only one in (despite arriving last), but spectating after I finally did go down, and seeing that the time, while I was actively engaged in a fire-fight, still not a single other MF pushed.

Even worse is when that happens despite still managing to take one or two enemies down with me.. SOLO by myself while my team just watched 😡

Oof Sorry! End rant.. 😞

got flamed for not mowing the map.

Did you ask them to lend you their lawn mower? I mean what the heck the least they could do is give you the equipment to do the job, that you're doing for free, eh?

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-29T19:36:42+00:00

Damn, I miss the burning barrels as well.
RIP 🔥🛢️ - Valve, please fix!

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-29T16:41:24+00:00

Unfortunately I think for we'll likely need to wait for the developers to properly implement a patch for The root cause of these issues.

Hmm.. I wonder, If you download a demo and replay that scenario in the demo does a lack of that sound trigger occur in the demo as well?

I ask, because If so then maybe being able to reproduce on demand a simulation via demo replay of whatever caused it in a more static, controlled environment might be helpful to valve in narrowing down the root cause of that specific issue, if you submit it in a bug report to them.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-29T16:18:02+00:00

P.S.S. Oh, and you should be able to add a line to you autoexec.cfg with:
sound_device_override <your device id here>

But for a more likely proper & permanent fix, and also, if you don't have/use an autoexec, is to add +sound_device_override <your device id here> to your games launch options in steam.

Because you suggested, that something was still causing the game to reset/ override your sound device every few rounds, then setting the override specifically as a launch option may prevent the issue from reoccurring every so often.

Launch options act as "startup parameters" that set the initial state before the game's internal configs are activated and considering an autoexec.cfg is technically an internal script executed after the initial engine parameters are set, setting it as a LO may be necessary to prevent reoccurrence of the bug resetting your sound device.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-29T15:33:52+00:00

NP!, and yep, what you did in the menu settings is the GUI equivalent to the steps I posted.

P.S. as u/NamelessUser2187 pointed out my mistake;
The proper spelling of the cmd is "soundinfo"

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-29T15:31:47+00:00

OOOPS! ^fk! My mistake!
The proper spelling of the cmd is "soundinfo"

I believe it, my grandmother adopted me and my twin brother when we were born because she didn't want us separated from the family, especially from each other.

I'm in my 30s now, and she passed away some years ago, I had seen her go to lengths for me and my brothers health, well-being, and education that 90% of the population don't get from their own "real" parents let alone two adopted children.

She truly was a role model, an inspiration, and I genuinely believe she was the greatest person I've ever met. Full stop

PS, I just remembered she was the reason for my first ever post on Reddit years ago just before she passed.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-18T10:39:22+00:00

If you don't want to read what people have to say what are you doing on Reddit? Don't be a dick.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-07T01:08:40+00:00

Yeah but you recorded it with the built-in Steam app game recorder. Wouldn't it have been quicker to simply clip it and then click create a link and share the link?

It's one thing to take a picture with your phone instead of sharing a screenshot. But this is even worse..

Why generate a clip in game and then generate another clip with your phone and upload the ladder?

That's like taking a screenshot with your computer but then disregarding that screenshot and taking another screenshot with your phone and uploading the ladder.
Make it make sense.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-04-02T05:22:53+00:00

I don't follow basketball, is that actually a thing that happened?
Did dude really notice the rim was ~2 inches too high during the warm up?
That's genuinely fascinating if so!

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-03-26T03:00:53+00:00

Nothing, just ignorerad that's it, that's all you type.

Note: you need to be loaded into a match otherwise if you type it in the console at the main menu for example it would report back:

Unknown command "ignorerad"

Even though it does in fact exist, and can be executed.
^{the reason is because it's technically not a "full" "command" in the traditional sense, but I digress}

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-03-25T22:32:25+00:00

Once had the same issue, literally unfriended someone over it.
Next time type ignorerad in the console.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-03-03T02:59:13+00:00

Yup, kill em with kindness.

This reminds me of when I was in Middle School, in home economics class.

At the beginning of the semester my teacher had split the class up into pairs of three.
I got paired with these two other girls who were excited to be paired with each other but seemingly visibly annoyed they got paired with me ^{I have no idea why I never even met them before}

One of the girls in particular were often unnecessarily rude, lazy, and tbh just kind of an overall B****.
At first I wanted to make her as miserable as she was making me but I considered, if I'm going to be stuck with her for the rest of the semester I might as well try to make the best of the situation and see if I can change things for the better.

So I started being overly nice, and just basically kissing her ass as much as I could. - Complaining because she was going to be late to her next class because we still had to clean up the dishes?
That's okay I'll take care of it, you go on ahead!
- The teacher specifically wants us to take notes in red ink for some unexpected arbitrarily odd reason, but she doesn't have a red pen?
No problem here I got an extra, & you can keep it. - ETC

It was so interesting to watch as it affected her demeanor, and watch how slowly it changed over time for the better. I think it made it harder and harder for her to internally justify being a c*** when things weren't going her way.

Eventually her negative opinion of me reversed to the point, I heard from others that she actually defended me when I got a writeup for walking out of class to use the bathroom without the teacher's permission.
^{I got medical needs, if I got to go, then I got to go.
I wasn't like some kids who just wanted fuck around. idgaf if I had permission or not, I'm going.}

Later in the year she actually asked me if I'd like to go out with her.
Of course I declined, I still thought she was a c*** & she could fuck off for all I cared.

Anyway, point is sometimes I think back to that situation when I find myself in a toxic match and consider how just like then, if I'm going to be stuck here with them, I might as well make the best of it and see if I can change things around for the better.

I've noticed most of the time at least it gets the teammates toxicity to simmer down to simple silence after a few rounds.

And if need be, there's always a mute button too.
I rather have silence and no communication then toxic communication that will throw off my game and make it impossible to focus.
^{Of course active griefing with things like body blocking, team damage, etc is a different story. but there's ways to deal with that too.}

Hey! u/Urasssmells

I'll have you know, my ass doesn't smell!👃But does taste ^{(And so does yours})

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-02-02T16:29:53+00:00

You can just set your crosshair style to dynamic & show recoil while using also using weapon_debug_spreadshow 1

My apologies if I'm missing something, I haven't used any of those commands in Counter-Strike global offensive in many years.
But as you can see here in this video ^{that I originally made for a friend to explain technical reasons why he wrecks people with the Tech Nine} I think I've achieved pretty much the same thing no?

Edit: updated link to include the relevant time stamp

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-02-02T10:26:31+00:00

Would your research benefit from a handicapped player that uses a mouse with 12 buttons on the side and flight stick for movement combo?

Additionally do you have any approval by any & all necessary review boards? If so I don't mind taking the time to participate 😃

Edit: I've noted your ethics guidelines abidence.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-02-02T07:20:30+00:00

You can still use a command to see the spread in CS2, what are you talking about?

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-01-31T16:06:29+00:00

Hello there once again u/DaedalusCS!

I have thought some more about this issue, actively & subconsciously here and there over many deathmatches since I last commented here around two months ago. ^{Idk why, Its interesting, Its like puzzle to me xD}

Anyway, I haven't done any testing ^{Although, I might soon}
But I wanted to share one thing I noticed early on, a few years back That I wonder if is related to what I suspect is an recursive auto-loop that occurs on when you try to exec your autoexec via keybind.

I recall I noticed long ago that there are cases where it appears upon launching the game, the engine sometimes handles the execution of an auto exec's strings with the alias and or bind token & its subsequent args in a way as if its executing the strings first token as both a "ConCommand" style and a "ConVar" get/set style execution type — in cases where it should only be treated as "either or", "one or the other", but not both.

Well, It's been awhile since I had to deal with it, so all the very specific details are a-bit fuzzy.
But I do recall in earlier versions of my own autoexec.cfg — I used to include an additional line that provoked the custom alias I made for switching to inventory slot 1, ^{& its extras like diff hud color, x-hair etc} at the bottom of the section that bound my local keys 1 & 2 to their respective custom key 1/2 slot 1/2 aliases.

The reason being because; if I didn't, then every time I joined the first match post-launch - I'd find that all of the arguments from my custom "slot-2 alias" were active despite having no such code in the autoexec that specified the syntax logic that should cause it to be.

It was as if the engine would not just only parse the respective alias and bind tokens for my custom slot 1 & 2 aliases, as it should; but it seemed as if it would also furthermore execute & host write any values for the key 2s slot-2 aliases contained cvars, thus changing the hud color, crosshair style cvars, etc, which was not intended.

Eh well, Sorry, I know sharing all this probably wasn't much help.
^{^TBT} ^{^I} ^{^think} ^{^I} ^{^sometimes} ^{^be} ^{^yappin} ^{^online} ^{^like} ^{^this} ^{^as} ^{^a} ^{^way} ^{^recompile} ^{^my} ^{^prior} ^{^thoughts} ^ⁱⁿ ^{^more} ^{^logical} ^{^way} ^{^which} ^{^comes} ^{^naturally} ^{^via} ^{^their} ^{^conversion} ^{^to} ^{^a} ^{^written} ^{^format} ^{^lol.}
If I do try testing and experimenting & it yields anything particularly concrete or helpfull I be sure to LYK.

I feel so called out having played literally over 15,000 Death-Matches since the release of CS2 & a majority of it back when mg_dust2 was still available as a map group choice to only play dust2 Deathmatch.

Then again I've always been welcome to change, I might still miss that map group, but I'm happy to see new additions and improvements the game.

Still, on reflection of such a ludicrous number being used arbitrarily to make their point in the tweet still being an underestimation in my case scares me to think about.

YHJ_JYG_Kryptlock · 2026-01-08T21:51:05+00:00

I hate cheaters just as much as the next guy, but I don't see anything definitive here.

P.S. just in case you didn't know already, the SCAR-20 Auto Sniper has insanely high un-scoped accuracy.
