The top 3 1.6 teams all switched over to GO for this ESEA season (begins this coming week); I think that says something. You have to give the game a chance though, don't just play a couple rounds and write it off. Plus keep in mind it's going to be adjusted after it goes live, they will be patching often. That's a large reason they eliminated cross platform play.
If you pre-ordered and you don't already have a beta key, you can play starting...now. They also released a patch with some bug fixes and what not. 1 more week to launch!
Downloading the beta now. I have Uprising on my friends list, but for anyone else out there that is playing, add me. My steam profile is http://steamcommunity.com/id/Harrisment24
Feel free to add me anyone (link is in my sig). I don't pub very often (I'm usually practicing with my team, or playing pick up games on ESEA), but I'll deathmatch with y'all for sure.
CS:GO drops tomorrow! Feel free to add me or any other Clutchfans members on steam so we can arrange a Clutchfans game! http://steamcommunity.com/id/redredemption/
This reminds me; don't forget to join the Clutch Fans steam group if you haven't already: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Clutchfans We should definitely do some sort of CF 10-man or pick up game. I have a server (that needs some changes on it) that we can use. I also have a mumble server we can use for voice.
I gave it another try last night, and really had fun. I was sad to see no Nade kills in Gun game though. Oh well.
Awesome, just joined the group. Been playing a lot with my roomate lately. I mainly play classic competitive, hope they add a few more maps such as cpl_mill and cobblestone. Down to play whenever though, a clutchfans game sounds awesome.
If anyone is up for playing tonight I'll probably jump on at around 7:30 or so. I'm in the Clutchfans group.
The rumor is the guy who made Tuscan (a better version of CPL_mill) is working on a remake of it. As for Cbble...I have nightmares of that map -- may it burn it hell for an eternity. I'll be on around then warming up before my team comes on to practice (have a match tonight), feel free to hit me up -- or I'll message you through the group if I remember.
I'll jump on around 7:30 as well. I still haven't found a gun I'm comfortable with yet... So far my best gun has been the M4A4; would be the AK but the recoil is too crazy in CS:GO.
This isn't like 1.6/CS:S in that every gun really does have its' own distinct recoil pattern. You'll get used to them the more that you play with them. Aug is probably the best rifle (other than the AK obviously), but I don't use it very often due to cost.
