What's your competitive rank?

As I mentioned last night was my first competitive match in csgo, but have played loads on 1.6 (back in the day)

Not sure what my competitive rank is. I'm level three I think?

Anyone doing the operation missions? Only kind of starting into them now.

Just finished the 20 CZ75 kills on casual. Pain in the ass!

The absolute worst one has to be accruing $1,000,000 earned. Ugh. CZ is a bit of craic at least.

Oh ok so you have to win 10 competitive matches before you get your rank. Kk. Keep us updated when you do get your rank

I have that to look forward to so

Doing the awp kills within your first 3 shots of the round now. Should be handy enough and fun at the same time

Easy enough on dust2. Just pick at mid every round.

Okay thanks, will do.

I still have to win 2 more I believe to get my rank. It's such a shame how more often than not you get absolute piss takers on dust_2

Used to play a lot of CS from around beta 7 up to 1.6. I was pretty damn good at my peak. Started playing GO there last week and by God I'm an embarrassment. Pathetic like! :eek:

What exactly is the purpose of having to get 10 wins to get a rank? Why not give you a rank after one game? Then make your rank far more volatile for you next 10 wins? So then it will settle on your actual skill level.

I swear valve are trying to make this game less accessible for beginners.

Smurfs would love this. Play extremely bad and get carried to obtain the sacred silver 1. The 10 wins represent your average rank if you play a bad game or one good game it puts you at a disadvantage. The ranking system is designed to balance the matching of players.

I don't really understand. What's to stop you from doing that with the current system? Your rank is always there, its just hidden from you.

You don't actually have a rank. You are put with people in a certain rank (usually mid - high silver) to start. If you did good you move up if you did bad you go down/ stay the same. Once it has found roughly where you can hold your own against it will keep you there either until you ascend past them or fall below them. It's an accelerated version of the current ranking system.

not sure it works like that, or at least it used not. for my first game I played with friends and for the 9 following wins I was with smfc+ who all hated me because I didn't know the new map layouts. If you play well in your first games you won't be put anywhere near silver, it'll always put you on the high end to try separate smurfs as quick as possible.

Just checked my steam there and I haven't played csgo since 4/4/2015, not sure what really happened but I lost all interest after about 450 hours of it, compared to the few thousand hours I had on source. Had to stop matchmaking and do just esea for a while before that because it was too stressful being stuck with russians for 40 minutes. And then people on esea weren't much better anyway.

Seems like everyone wanted to be a pro player or else they were just playing to annoy others

So just received the time out until it calibrates my skill level. It's the second one I've gotten however the first time I didn't get anything

The Operation packs aren't necessary, they just give you a little badge and allow you to complete missions and there's some drops involved.

If you think someone is cheating, don't hesitate to report them.
Nothing worse than people ruining a fun game.

tbh i hate the way people cheat at gaming and exploit ingame stuff wrecks my head takes all the fun out of gaming.

just seen how he probably did it players getting boosts up onto higher points by other players he must have found a map frailty and is exploiting it.

Played a game last night where we were losing the second half badly after going up 10-5. A guy on our team disconnects and reconnects. Suddenly he is calling where the whole enemy team is. I got auto-kicked for team-attacking too many times.

He was 100% hacking. My team was okay with it because they wanted the win and suspected an enemy of cheating. **** that. I have screenshots of him admitting to it as I was griefing him non stop.

Nice 1

I started off as a Silver 1 where I stayed for a long time before jumping up to Gold Nova 4

vlad2009

I thought I was only gonna get silver 1 tbh

FAILSAFE 00

I am hovering between Gold Nova 3 and 4 at the moment.

Started at Silver Elite.

Yeah there's a brilliant new mode where everyone speaks Russian, uses cheats and you're a noob.

vlad2009

Actually ended up playing another game and I got gold nova 1. Pretty sound

excellent mouse :P currently using it myself
have a razor for back up
ive been stuck as dmg for the past 2 weeks so I wish you all the best

between mg2 and dmg, is were you will find all the cheaters, people who got boosted, russians who think their pros.

And I know what you're thinking *its like that already in the rank I'm at* but trust me it will get worse

Try not to go solo

sqdz

yes of course... But I found the number of cheater more consequent last year. I began with b5.2 (56ko modem ^^)

The players aren't "good" in mge, sometimes they are aimed like bots lol

Only soloQ for me

but it might be interesting to create a team of dublin ^^ (I did the same in France, my ex team participated in the Lan Arena / WCG in Paris)

^^ This.

Going solo is very much a hit & miss affair, very often a miss. Even not going solo can be hit & miss but at least the more people you team up with that you know, the less likely the chances of getting absolute lemons for random team-mates. I regularly play with my OH and one or two others, occasionally a full team, and even then we still get idiots or ass-hats who wont play as a team, or griefers who join and then as soon as round one starts, they abandon the match.

You would imagine that this would be significantly reduced at the higher ranks, but it isn't. I am Supreme and I have solo-queued the odd time and you really never can know what you will get. Sometimes you get dedicated players who are committed to playing well and trying to win every round. But, every other time you will get some messer or griefer who really doesn't care. Or, and this really pisses me off, after losing 4-5 rounds they type 'gg' and don't bother trying...

That rightly pisses me off as well when I see it; we (as in the guys I play with) have turned 8-1 games around before and either *just* been pipped at the post for the last couple of rounds or some such, or managed to win. Proof that it's not all lost, even when it feels like you're being slaughtered ...

... unless as a bunch of silver ranks you make a full team with a friend who is MGE and pulls you into a game against people hopelessly above the skill level of the entire team (other than aforementioned MGE). Then you really are being slaughtered :pac:

Season is a half-decent map and fairly well balanced for competitive matches. Zoo on the other hand ....

I really like that map. Its a bit of variety in competitive mode instead of the constant bomb planting and defuse. Having to rescue the hostages on Agency is fun.

I like rescue mode too but not these maps. The operation last year was much better with good maps such as back alley in hostage rescue. I miss them maps

I don't know why back alley has been taken out of general rotation considering that it's a map that goes all the way back to the original CS and was part of the standard map rotation. It's a lot of fun and there's a reason it's been brought through CS to CS:S to CS:GO - namely that it's a decent and fairly well balanced map.

Couldn't really think which one was Season earlier when I was afk. Playing it now and yeah I love Season. This was on last year too and kind of missed it when they took it away. The rest suck tho lol.
