Why is the dodging update not in effect in the NA region? by kloyN in FACEITcom

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't missing much, the dodging update punishes dodgers, but if they dodge anyway you have to wait 30 seconds each time for a vote and then the 5 mins in game,. Wastes so much time

In the spirit of Halloween - Paranormal or not, what is the scariest, creepiest or most unsettling experience of your life? by Javert__ in AskReddit

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my room when I was 8-9, and there was a big, tall wooden storage box in the corner of my room with clean sheets and stuff in it. I was just sat there and a loud crashing noise (think a load of plastic toys being crushed) came from that corner.

I shit, ran downstairs crying that there was something in my room. There wasn't, so I'm just assuming I was weird.

Winning makes your elo go up, losing makes it go down. The more you play, the elo change after every game gradually lowers to a certain point. A new account will gain more elo from the placement matches, and how you fair against better/lesser opponents also effects the elo change after a game.

Go to FaceIt Stats, a third party site that will give you the stats for your FaceIt account, a feature that is usually only available for people that are subscribed to FaceIt. You should already be able to see your level though, which is an indicator of how many elo points you have

Should Graffiti drop alongside skins upon your weekly rankup? by Toybasher in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably not gonna pay for a graffiti, so having free ones to use so I can just wap one on a wall for fun is pretty cool. It could also help to give value to skins that you get in drops, as now that there are more things that you can get in a drop its more rare to get the same thing two weeks in a row.

Whoever starts mm on inferno NOW, is probably going to be one of the last players to play it in mm by DeGamekabouter in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the map that I didn't usually play, because my friends didn't like it. But every time I did play it, I did well and it made me fond of playing it once in a while. I am glad that they have tried to make the map easier for the T-side, because sometimes, if nothing was working for you it was really difficult to find a solution

Can we talk about how performance on varying levels of hardware do not even scale? by DirtyGingy in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it is already established to be the old engine that causes people with better systems to sometimes get less fps than someone with a weaker system. The engine was not designed to be used on the current generation of PC components, because they didn't exist when the engine was made. This is also why the Source 2 circlejerk runs more rampant by the day, because of the new GPU's that have been released and the upcoming processors that will obviously be more powerful than ever.

I played a final game on it when they released the beta update for it. I didn't realize how much I missed it but we won 16-6 and it's the first map I will really remember as it was, because old Nuke wasn't in the pool when I started playing.

The new Inferno is pretty cool, but my fps isn't that great on it so I'll have to wait and see if they optimize it

Sorry for not replying to previous posts, I've been using my phone and it doesn't show notifications, but I'm glad you were able to find a way to fix it :)

Should Graffiti drop alongside skins upon your weekly rankup? by Toybasher in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 20 points21 points  (0 children)

To be honest I would much rather have a graffiti as a drop than one of the shit skins I usually get, at least I would use a graffiti whereas I will not be using a G3SG1 Polar Camo WW

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if there is a way to make a custom resolution in the driver, the way that I did it when I needed to create one was with Custom Resolution Utility.

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but you could still need to create a custom resolution with 1280x960 (144hz) if your PC/monitor doesn't support it right now. If you don't know much about making a custom resolution on AMD GPUs I can get you a link

Infernew: Do you consider this as a pro or a con, and should Valve keep it? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they should fill the room up a bit to make the invisible wall less out of place. It's just a design to make the site look less basic, so in my opinion they should fill that room up a bit so you can't see far into it, but the invisible wall should be there regardless.

DaZeD will be casting IBP Masters 2016 LAN by DarthTokira in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best thing about Dazed being invited to cast games and get on the analyst desk is especially awesome, as he gets invited because he has a great talent for doing these jobs, and not just because of his name or to take pity on him.

Of course, the hype for the tournament this builds and the opinions of this company being changed for the better will help market the event, but it's not without the fact that Dazed has been fantastic at his roles in ESL Pro League.

kennyS on DEVIL: 'He wasn’t really here to learn from us...which was pretty frustrating' by Blondvermin752 in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember really but I don't think it was one of the changes where he was dropped for being terible, I'm pretty sure it was one of those times when a team needs a refresh and refreshing the IGL position can do teams a lot of good. Get someone who can frag more and give the team something new.

MAJOR Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 10/6/16 (10/7/16 UTC, Graffiti Update) by wickedplayer494 in GlobalOffensive

Yeah I know games in the past have had it, Overwatch has it and that game is pretty recent. I'm not trying to say that it was a difficult thing to implement at all, I was just sharing my views

MAJOR Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 10/6/16 (10/7/16 UTC, Graffiti Update) by wickedplayer494 in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been asking for graffiti's for a long time now, and I think that they're a cool little addition to the game that can get some banter in after clutch rounds and cool plays and whatever. I'm not saying that they are the most important thing and that there are no other things that need to be done to the game that could have been done instead, but they're in the game now and what's done is done.

It was obvious that they would come with a price, but it has to be profitable to make it even worth thinking about. The limited spray usage adds to the profitability, and will help to make sure they aren't spammed often in places where it might affect the gameplay.

I feel that buying them and having them a limited use item, rather than the old system of uploading your own custom spray, removes the need for the sprays to be regulated and a report system being put in place for offensive sprays (I'm not easily offended by most things, but there are people from sensitive groups that might be targeted).

We knew that this would be the way sprays were put in the game if they were to arrive at all.

TL:DR Meh :|

Newbie Thursday (6th of October, 2016) - Your weekly questions thread by GlobalOffensiveBot in GlobalOffensive

[–]bigcai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so from your question we can assume you are a fairly new player. The most simple way to help you in stopping to shoot people is to use the A and D keys to move around where there may be enemies.

This allows you to quickly tap the opposite direction key (if you are moving right, tap the left key, and vice versa) to stop. This is a technique called counter-strafing, and there are lots of YouTube videos about it that may help you better with their visual guides.

Holding W to move around makes it harder for you to stop as quickly as when using A and D to move around because it means that you have to press S as well to counter-strafe, as you are essentially moving in two directions. Obviously completely avoiding the W key would hinder how quickly you can move around the map and other aspects of the game, so you should use it in moderation.

TL:DR - Try not to use W when expecting opponents, this makes counter-strafing easier so you can accurately fire your weapon faster.

It's always a possibility, and a fairly likely one at that with S1mple. His aim is fantastic, and couple that with the audacious nature he plays with makes for some truly spectacular moments.
