>altered passive sounds for things such as footsteps sound comically exaggerated as if the players were on horses >sequential updates that make movement more and more bland and sluggish (eg.

>lack of diversity in the number of playstyles that can be effectively used due to unnecessary weapon nerfs and states for most of the time >stale map design as everything has turned into a contest of who can imitate Dust 2 the best instead of actually being imaginative, creative, as before with non standard maps like Train, Vertigo, Aztec, Dust, Inferno, Office, Port, etc etc. due to fear of being shunned by the upholders of the paradigm (namely Reddit groups) >refusal to be innovative and to try new things and instead copy what other games are doing, won't even try and to implement a projectile based ballistics system to add another layer of depth to the gunplay and to remove several bullshit factors, but they forgot their beta branch exists >changing tracers so they don't match actual bullet placement, because you refuse to stop predictive norecoil (will never be reverted even though vacnet exists) >replacing directional sounds with their shitty proof of concept sound processing >random bullet spread on the 'first shot' is still a thing in places where it should not >the game it's self is literal spaghetti code, not even mentioning lousy implementations of features like CSM (which broke dynamic lighting), etc etc
Why does Valve fail at so many things on a basic level today? All it takes are a few good men with creativity and imagination. This company figured out directional sound in 1997, yet they can't do it for a modern game more than 20 years later, as an example. They are claimed to be obsessive perfectionists which is why they cancel everything, but then contradict themselves with the way they managed their current titles and their platform.
People will be angry about CSGO, TF2, and other games forever, people will never fully understand valve's need to replace functioning parts of the game with garbage.
make a better and more creative post then i'm settled in here for a long night

>play cs after a few years of not playing it >footsteps sound like shit >guns sound like shit >reworked maps look like shit, play like shit, run like shit >gameplay is a mess
Does Valve literally fail at everything these days?
Dominic Jackson
csgos golden age is long over just like dota 2 and tf2 theres no point of playing it anymore these days
being competitive does not automatically make it a selling point cs was always a choice of balance for players between casual competitive and casual or competitive

>press escape >game freezes, sound loops for a second, menu shows up >alt tab >hope you took a timeout, you'll be waiting a while i know it's a source(tm) thing to freeze when booting up and loading a map but the fucking escape menu lagging is just epic also why does it not fuck when loading maps while not being tbe active window?
Leo Morales
There was nothing wrong with the Pistols being strong and the only people that complained were sweaty tryhards too lazy to adapt or accept that it made the game a lot more fluid and made economy rounds interesting and made the game perpetually interesting, you can see this in practice during 2014 tournaments where skilled players made the best use of these fun tools
good match youtu.be/BcecSNztEvk takes 20 or 30 seconds nowadays for people to alt tab back in the game now it's really bad with csgo right now
Thomas Foster

Aaron Foster
>being the best competitive fps game is bad ?
Jackson Rivera
was saying that it shouldn't be it's only selling point and that it can be simultaneously the best competitive and casual or mixed experience on the market if you play your cards right
Eli Foster
But the CZ and Deagle are still strong, you nigger. The only pistols that have been nerfed are retardproof pistols like the meme-seven and kek-9
Angel Bailey
>CZ >strong i want what you're smoking
Jeremiah Reed
>post nerf CZ >strong said no one ever
Luis Peterson
its an m4 with good movement accuracy for $500
Daniel Turner
>pre nerf sawed off tier RNG bullet spread >accurate you'd be better off using the new P250 which is equally as retarded with it's random bullet spread
Noah Torres
it's definitely accurate at mid range. buy a deagle if youre planning on playing a long engagement
Levi Barnes
only at making games. what else could they fail at? printing money with steam because epic throws some fortnite cash at devs to give them exclusives? please. steam has been swimming in many times the money epic just got its hands on. they're sitting idly by and once they start to feel the pressure they'll lower their own dev tax to epic's level and wait for epic to run out of exclusives budget. they're sitting on an insurmountable high ground with so many players having hundreds of games in their steam library. all epic is doing is boosting their launcher past the other failures (origin, uplay, rockstar social) and then that's that. nobody will abandon steam and nobody wants to build up two separate libraries so steam will remain "the" games store. they're gonna be just fine, which is why they will never make a good game again.

>buy a deagle if youre planning on playing a long engagement gamble everything on hitting your first shot or getting extremely lucky? cancer game balance. OHK pistols should not exist. the way to fix counterstrike's winner's win snowball mechanics isn't to break up any kind of predictability with randomly op cheap weapons. pulling yourself out of a bad economic situation shouldn't be about GAMBLING on meme weapons. the impact two random deagle shots can have on a match is cancerous and no better than the cz era upsets. everyone gives it a pass because it's rare.
Adam Mitchell
Press F to pay respects to the old Negev They should have just reduced its price to 5000$
Carson Gutierrez
honestly if they just increased the draw speed and price of the old CZ whilst also removing it's OHK potential like like for the old p250 (although they nerfed it hard too) it would have been fine
James Bailey
increased the price to that of a rifle? because old cz + fast draw would be as good as a rifle.
Jeremiah Cook
would be worth testing out in a beta
Brayden Kelly
The Old Train and Inferno had more soul and better atmosphere than their remakes, thematically and visually.
I feel like i'm in Northern Chicago with the Night version of this map, it's also a possibility that TR's version of the map is set in Chicago given the map in Ivy showing Roselle, IL.
>Take a popular or good game from the past >ask “durr what went wrong” >do it incessantly for every game like it’s an original thread
Fuck zoomers
Christopher Anderson
Except csgo is retarded, people play It because it's the only valve competitive game when it comes to fps, css and cs 1.6 are for fun now.
Asher Gonzalez
Zoomers: >dude shush ur just being a contrarian because you hate everything that's new

just kill yourself already zoomer

t. Zoomer who unironically believes he’s not an obvious zoomer

pistols are still op as fuck you retard.
Brandon Wilson
>half of the guns sound like airsoft guns or people smacking their lips and plastic in the soundbooth (exceptions are for the Scout, Beretta, LMG's) I always wondered if it's possible to make sounds even worse then they were in original game, those retards managed to exceed my expectations.
Is it so hard to make enjoyable sounds? I only remember 3 games that did that right, squad, arma 3 with JSRS (vanilla is ok too, but JSRS is better) and small part of guns from escape from tarkov.
Julian Cooper
I've been playing on/off since beta 5.2 and I agree with most of these. Almost all steps have lead to a direction that the game doesn't feel like the game it used to be. I have 600 hours in GO and that's the least I've played of any of the versions. This game is dead to me. Clanbase was a bitch but still had infinitely more soul from the player base than the current system.
Ethan Miller
use -d3d9ex in launch settings
Ian Watson
how can you be this bad to lose to fucking pistols
Parker Cruz
>refusal to be innovative and to try new things because there is no fucking need to gut this game make a new game if you want to innovate but the game is pretty much complete outside of map revamps
Jackson Rodriguez
You trying to communicate?
Christopher Miller
How can you be so bad that you think pistols suck?
Adam Morris
Nah mate, I'm here since 1.5 was actually the most played version, fuck shields
Charles Price
not with you, zoomer
Xavier Ward
What're you trying to say there Zoom Zoom?
Adrian Murphy
Sure thing zoomers
Carson Sanders
Old Rifle and Pistol sounds were so memorable, for me or was the P250 and M4
Daniel Stewart
No problem Zoomer
Ayden Price
I don't understand why people still slobber over the old sounds. They were a bit more distinct, but they sure as hell weren't all that great.
lack of direction from valve, saturation of pro tournaments, gambling bans, lack of casual mode, and most of all the lack of conviction of cleaning the game from cheaters in said 5v5 competitive mode. To sum it up, lack of game dev involvement.
t. over 1k in mm, was a good run senpai, i call it the second golden age of cs. 1.6 being the true one.
