These are great for new players. It's hard to figure out the best spot to defend from when learning the map. U missed the ones on B plat though. The spot behind barrels or big box are great. So is the one on back plat.

That was great. Interested.
cool.
a lot of those spots would leave you open to double door/window though since it's only focused on tunnels
Finally figured out which position on long works for me on dust2.
Can't defend for shit there on site or short. But long actually suits me fine, so I'm pretty happy about that
Plus you can just give up the site and prepare for the retake with your teammates.
I think that's fine since you normally have one player dedicated to mid and one on B

USP-S or P2000?
Tried my hand at the P2000 earlier because I have some dope skins for it, but just could not get any kills with the thing. I kept getting the drop on people and doing like 80+ damage before them killing me. I ended up with like 12 assists lol. (casual game)
Then I switched back to the USP-S and got 4 headshot kills in a row. Might have been luck, but I think I'll go back to the USP-S. Also it is silenced which is badass. I feel like James Bond and/or Codename 47 when using it.

P2K
both suck unless you headshot, but P2K gives me that 1 extra chance to achieve said headshot. When it comes down to it it's really do you prefer one extra bullet and more ammo over a silencer and less ammo. You can't go wrong either way, and both suck compared to glock anyway *_*

You can't spam either pistol tbh. USP-S is awesome for HS's pistol round, but if you get bummed rushed you are dead if you try and spray. Control your shots and use movement to let your gun settle back down to give you optimal accuracy. I believe both, or maybe just the USP-S, have an accurate first shot while running. I got a 3 kill yesterday off usp by being accurate and not spamming
I haven't tried the P2K in AGES, but I feeal really comfortable with the USP-S. Headshots with it feel SOOO good, especially the on taps in pistol round.
That's a joke right? I can't remember how many times I cursed the glock because I couldn't finish someone with armor of. Might as well throw little pebbles at the enemy.
Throwing 20 pebbles in rapid succession is bound to hurt though. I've learned to love the glock.
I always end up dead, with 7 bodyshots an like 60 damage -.-

Both have different patterns. USP-S is stronger by a bit I think.
They both have the same damage. There is just a trade-off between silenced and less ammo or a bigger mag and ammo and no silencer.

Just checked, you're right on that.
Basically you aren't doing much damage on pistols unless you're getting headshots, so glock is definitely the best imo. 20 bullets is 20 bullets, plus you can spam as much as you want without worrying about ammo. Sure it used to be way better but I still feel it's the strongest pistol round gun.
Oh I love it in pistol round, I just suck at it once the enemies habe helmets.
Well if we're talking buy rounds and you have anything other than a CZ, deag or 5-7 then you're doing it wrong
Unless I'm money fucked I usually pick up a CZ for my AK or M4, it's saved me so many times now and there's no reason not to at the same price of a nade.

I remember it always turned into a camping battle in 1.6. Same with Aztec.
Dust 1 is terrible, even with the changes made in GO.
Aztec had a few changes made, though not sure if they've fixed the map or not.
Need to play it a bit more.
Gotta say, of the lesser played maps,
I really enjoyed Militia last night.
...Annnnnnd you lost a ton of credibility with that last statement. Smh for shame!
CS is kind of unique when it comes to the maps. I've played CS for at least 12 years now and we are still playing the same maps: Dust2, inferno, nuke. You'd think better map design could have been achieved in that time, but then again, D2 is just about perfect. On the other hand, COD has DLC maps that are remakes and I think it's a ripoff. Funny mentality depending on the game
How attractive are you?
Can someone tell me what this means?
Never seen it before and when I click on it nothing happens.
There was an early warning for an update, might be something new?

You have been chosen.
No idea I got it too, probably just a bug or something.
Hahaha, only played it once in comp, I need to play it again to see.
I don't like playing a map 1-2 times and being over judgemental.
(It did seem T sided at the end, but early on it was pretty even)
I've played it a bunch in casual on Source,
but the GO version added different routes.
I think that staying at the back of platform is a bad idea. The main reason why is that there are not a lot of things that you could use to protect yourself from being hit by the projectiles of your enemies. And if they manage to trap you, you will not have any way to escape from being killed there. Additionally, when your teammates are taking the site back, they will use flashes before they enter the site, and that may hinder your chances of survival within the site. There are far too many downsides of playing at back platform, or on platform in general. It is a good position to take the first shot though. Especially if you're sniping.
CoolS is correct in stating that there will be a teammate that is watching your middle. If there is no one watching middle, you will have a difficult time winning the match. The middle teammate can also provide you with backup if your team is certain that the enemy team is in B tunnels.

Asa casual CS player, these are fantastic.

I'm a fan. This makes pistol selection much better. I'm definitely replacing the tec9, but replacing the 5/7 might depend based on the map.

It'll be fine if it's nerfed as well instead of replacing another slot.

That was pretty awesome that that happened. I want a free rank up too!
CSGO is so unfair sometimes. So I'm playing with a friend of mine - we both average on the same Skill level. I'm stuck on Silver Elite Master -- forever -- I cannot rank up no matter how hard I try (even during win streaks). But I rank down pretty much every time I only make a slight mistake (like for example every time I lose 2 games in a row, or abandon).
We're in the same games, but he does not seem to be affected and he's Nova 3 now. (And we still average at the same K/D - Score etc every match) >_>
So basically, we're doing the exact same things - and somehow CSGO seems to judge them way differently.

Thank you for your feedback everyone. I have made a couple more for covering long, and cat. Please keep in mind that it is up to you to either play aggressive on that spot, or passive. It really depends on the team that you're facing. Also, people play the A site differently. Some people play two long A, and one covering cat. While others play two cat, and one long A. So, some of the spots in the clips may not work in your favor.

I use that location when I watch long as well. It's easy to turn around and watch Cat without moving much.

Yup absolutely. Perhaps some text to go along with it maybe.
The current meta op Dust2 allows the CT to drop control of short entirely and just go for a retake from long. Looks like this one is a plant for short.

What should I do with all of my 5 cent skins?
You can trade 10 skins of the same quality for 1 item of the next best quality. Keep doing that till you get good skins I guess. That's what I'm doing.

Minimal wear Howl are nearing 300 on the market. Decided it was finally time to put mine up for sale. Gonna hang on to my Stattrak Orion for a while longer though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this how you voted on the maps you liked at the end of Op Phoenix? Seems Op Breakout may be ending soon. I'll put in a vote for Overgrown and Insertion. All the other maps sucked hard in my opinion (well, Insertion did too, but it was fun to play every once in a while so I'll give it a pass).
The GO edition of dust has improved upon the map greatly, but it's not nearly good enough for competitive in my opinion.
The only thing you need to know to defend long on d2 is where to throw your flash.
Good start. Will be interesting to see how this plays out among the best.
Trade up contract.
