CS:GO

[Lgfst]

Is anyone still playing it? After recently returning to PC after a PS4 I've started to get back into counterstrike. Played CS:S quite a bit on the laptop so still pretty much up to speed with it all.

Just deciding if I like the M4A4 or A1S better.

Most people I play with are on Arma or Battlefield, which i also play, but CSGO has me hooked again after a few hours of playing.

I still play quite regular although only DM, as I can't be arsed with all the ranking nonsense that most people get obsessed with.

Had some lucrative case drops a while back, two knives and a pair of gloves. Sold them all for £307!!

The skins and knives are quite surprising what they go for. I knew they went for quite a bit but when I was buying (cheap) skins earlier, there was an AWP for £8000. That's just ridiculous.

I've not played DM yet, suppose I should try it, I've been on casual (hate the free death cam on that) and competitive.

I would fall in the randomers group lol.

Didn't know that you lost your rank not playing, that doesn't bode well for me, not that I'll ever have a decent rank

I haven't been on in a week or so (Battlefield Hardline events / Arma etc) but getting back on soon. I think I'll look for some non comp servers just to have fun on, without cross team spectate on death. Just have to find some now.

A couple more comp games and my rank will be revealed, not expecting much to be honest lol. Although I tend to do ok.

Well, I've been practicing quite a lot recently and I've been doing quite well. I've stayed out of competitive play as I've been on my own mostly and always end up with 4 others who don't speak English. So I spent my time on some of the community servers which are set up like competitive, had quite a bit of fun.

I definitely lose interest after a couple of hours being alone or having to mute kids or foreigners that don't stop talking.

Had to resort to USA servers last night to at least be able to communicate.

If anyone recommends any community servers, I'd be very grateful.

I've resorted to playing on Faceit. As the client side anti cheat means I've come across very few cheaters. Plus matchmaking is better and I've noticed a significant reduction in trolling.

Although, I've not played in a little while now. Fell into the PUBG craze and on battlefield a lot.

I'm the same - just started playing csgo after last playing 1.6 about 12 years ago!

Shall we share steamids so we can get a pistonheads MM queue group going? I'm alexjascott (in game name Amoeba) on steam.

I'll send you a FR on steam. Mine is ThunderPhat.

Edit. Actually I can't 100% locate you

I haven't played Faceit on this account yet but on my shared account (with my brother) I played it a lot. Just free at present but depends on how much I'll be on it.

On another note, not played MM in a few months and now I'm Silver 4

I've played about 10 faceit games, and find I get roughly 50% decent english speaking team mates and 50% toxic russian sounding trolls.

I also find I come bottom score most games, as Faceit as my level (5) seems to involve little co-ordinated tactics and just lots of very good entry fraggers. My entry fragging is not great, I am more support, but of course low kills = "cyka blyvat" to most of the 15 yr old russians.

I've still not played Faceit on my new account (Not played much CSGO recently either) but yeah you get that, just less hackers. Much better with a group of 3+ friends going into a game. However when we last played, matchmaking was enjoyable.

I also got your friend request, I'll accept when im on later.

Still playing Faceit? I've got into it more recently as I too find it better than MM. Do you play the premium or the free servers?

I completely missed this! Apologies.

I've not played Faceit in a while, not at all on my new account. I've been dabbling in a few other games (PUBG mainly) but want to get back to CSGO again. Send me a friend request if you like.

Amoeba, we will have to get a game in too. Not had chance yet

Have sent you a request.

Thanks I accepted.

Do we have a PH CSGO discord? I know we have a PUBG one.

I went one late last night, decided to play hostage rescue maps. Had a lot of fun. Not played those in a long time.
