I'll join a map that's not dust 2 and after that round everyone votes for it :(

I've come to hate Casual matchmaking recently. First once it always dust 2 with the regular maps, and 10 vs 10 is just to much for CS. Unless you're some sort of demi-god, I always get swarmed by like 3-4 guys and die eventually.

3 losses in a row. One we won 10 rounds CT-side on Dust2 and somehow managed to lose. Other two my teammates were all awful.

Oh and a derank back to Nova 3. Hooray.

Getting tired of casual is just natural progression. I never played much of it since I always was drawn to 5v5 since I played a lot of CSS. However, eventually you will despise anything other than 5v5. You will get tired of 15 flashes over long doors, and 7 P90s running through the door to swarm you. CS is a lot of mind games, and things like; are your opponents eco, do they like to rush, will they have an awp, did i have a good spawn. All start to factor in to how you play a position. Whereas on a FFA Casual you just play round after round in whatever manner you want. It's a very different game.

Stop playing casual matchmaking. You know how in TF2 the Valve servers have like a Goldrush/Dustbowl/Hightower rotation? You are playing on the equivalent of that in CSGO. Go find a community server to play on.
 
UI
Scoreboard changes:

Added ability to use mouse cursor in scoreboard.
Cursor will be enabled on the scoreboard by default in halftime and endmatch.
When alive or spectating, if the scoreboard is visible, the cursor can be enabled by using secondary fire.
Players in scoreboards have left click context menus that allow you to commend, report, block communcation, etc.
Scoreboard will adjust to the size of the number of players in the match. Max is still 24 players.
Combined clan tag and name tag into one field.
Fixed the CZ-75A icon not showing overhead during freetime.
Added Commonwealth of Independent States flag, uses alpha 2 code "CC".
Fixing aspect ratio of a few flags.
On community servers after mp_swapteams or vote to swap teams the game will also swap team names and flags.

GAMEPLAY
Adjusted the rules for dropping a grenade upon death: you now drop your most recently selected grenade. If you never selected a grenade, you will drop the most expensive one.
Improved player hitbox alignment.
Players shot in the head from the side will play a new left or right headshot flinch animation, instead of forward or backward.
Defuse kit art has been adjusted to make them more visible.

MISC
Reduced client virtual memory usage.
Fixed an out of memory crash that could occur while downloading workshop maps.
Fixed a hitch related to inventory icon loading.
Players that fail to properly validate with VAC will no longer get the generic "Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket" message and instead see "An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system. You cannot play on secure servers."
Started a trial of official competitive matchmaking on servers in South Africa.

MAPS
Overpass:
Added connector from T water to T tunnels
Opened up small concrete hut near Bombsite A
Made wood stack near door to A tunnels climbable
Made it possible to shoot through wood wall near Bombsite B
Made area near fountain in park slightly larger
Tweaked environment light
Dust2:
Removed some small gaps between crates in Bombsite B
Inferno:
Added wallbanging on low wall near barbecue (Thanks Spunj!)
Revised clipping on balcony near mid
 
I got an AWP drop today, then I saw that it was battle-scarred Safari Mesh. Oh well.

I played a bad game today and this guy kept alternating between telling me I'm the worst player ever and trying to be helpful. And I reduced my sensitivity a lot.

Just picked up a M4A1 of the ground, but it had 30 rounds and wasn't silenced when I fired it (even though the silencer was on there). Then I picked up another (same round), same thing. Bug?

I think it is, It happened to me last week once and only in 1 round, after that it was ok.

Same here. I noticed the owner of the gun was no longer in the game, but not sure if that has any bearing.

I've heard of this bug before and the owner leaving the game was also the case there. Same thing was seen happening with P2000s and USPs.

Though I haven't heard of CZs acting like P250s, but the same thing probably happens there as well.

with all of the different skins nowadays, I sometimes pick up scouts thinking they're AWPs :(

I was clutching hard the other day and switched my spent gun for a scout (thinking it was an AWP). I didn't realize it was a scout until I shot at the last guy alive and he didn't die.

my teammates asked "why did you pick up the scout?!" "because I thought it was a fucking AWP!"

To be honest, I don't think I've bought an aug or sg since the nerf. I might have picked one up from a dead guy but probably only shot a few bullets.

I only buy a few guns :(

tec-9, five-seven

nova, mag-7, MAYBE auto shotty

ump, p90

ak, m4, scout, awp

Does Valve have any plans for removing or lowering the excessive hacking in this game?

Such a good game, gone to shitt....

I always hear about hacking, but have never run into it. Or at the very least it doesn't make enough difference for the hackers to stand out. Regardless, I think they have overwatch for taking care of hacking and cheaters. Report the ones you run into and move on if you can.

Goys what are your favorite skins? I'm looking to get some cheap ones on the market. I don't really like many with goofy patterns or colors (don't like the laminate ak's, awps with crap patterns on them, doomkitty looking things etc.) but I am a bit partial to the rising skull nova, (though I'm fine with the walnut and ghost camo's) undergrowth usp and fire serpent ak.
Tl;dr I like guns that don't look tacky or goofy so I'd like to hear what you think if you have similar preferences
 
I played really badly today. I don't belong at Gold Nova Master or even Nova 3. I can't peek and I keep forgetting to aim for the head.

Most Galil skins, especially Shattered.
Anodized Gunmetal for Five-Seven. Dirt-cheap and basically makes the gun more shiny and metal-looking.
UMP Corporal.

At lower ranks its not prolific. Get above stars and it's impossible to go on a run of 3 or so games without encountering hackers; they usually have new accounts set to private. Some are better at hiding it than others; it's not usually super blatant.

There are usually lots of hackers about ~3 months after it goes on sale
