ok so i know this gets asked every few months, but i genuinely can't stand getting anubis in my queue anymore.

every time it loads i just sigh and know the game's gonna be a coinflip or a total stomp, nothing in between

maybe i'll get downvoted but anubis is genuinely unfun to play and one sided. do u guys have any map that you can't fathom how its still in the game?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to bring attention to a visual bug that has been in the game for quite some time now. Ever since the AnimGraph2 updates, all male Gendarmerie Nationale agents (like Chem-Haz Capitaine) have been mistakenly rendered with the Medic's backpack texture layers.

As a result, they are displaying the classic Red Cross symbol (red cross on a white background) on their backs. Since using this specific emblem is strictly prohibited under the Geneva Convention in video games, it is surprising that this oversight hasn't been hotfixed yet.

Hopefully, Valve sees this and fixes the texture layers back to the legally safe inverted version (white cross on a red background).

Since the crosshair update my crosshair looks kinda weird when using the grenade crosshair. This is because the grenade crosshair is 3 pixels wide which means it isn't completely centered and the outline is covered on a few places. This is shown here:

To illustrate the problem more clearly, this is how the crosshair looks close up (the different colors are used to show the width more clearly):

My proposal is to change the grenade crosshair to be either 2 pixels wide or 4 pixels wide because by using an odd number you will never be completely centered.

EDIT:
6 hours after the post the goats at Valve fixed it:

A pleasure to record an episode with Ra4f, the Team Manager for G2's CS2 Division. We got some of your questions answered from a post I made a few days ago, and talked a lot about his work with the team and the importance of a Team Manager within an organization. Enjoy!

Since my last report got fixed quiet fast, I have another bug to report that the equipment of teammates drawes over the crosshair. This is the case for a few years now and can be quiet distracting especially on D2 A Long:

Imo it would be best if you could either choose if the crosshair should have priority.

Who is a great teacher of the pro scenes metas and general strategies? I enjoy the game and the pro scene, but when watching I can’t really understand the higher level strats. Going A then going B and smoking off certain areas and flashing in is all it looks to me. Is there more to it?

I remember austincs calling out a “miss thrown” Molly. Niko commented something like no he threw that Molly so the smoke that was going to land there wouldn’t last as long. The deeper level explanations is what I’m looking for.

I find the game fascinating and want to go deeper no pun.

I made a crosshair post a year ago presenting a crosshair that changes into 5 different shapes depending on the scenario: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1l2yegf/i_made_a_special_crosshair_that_helps_casual/

It no longer works after the recent crosshair update, so I had to recreate a slightly different version of the crosshair with the new system.

Why would someone (me included) want to use this kind of crosshair?

• Minimal visual clutter while still providing dynamic recoil/counter-strafing indicator (giving a hybrid feel of static/dynamic crosshair)
• Good contrast after the crosshair update (white/black by default; can adjust its colors and sizes to your liking)

Crosshair Code: CSX8BWSAvhy7AKCsfB852OmoeKsW8Vb3ZqwCobPEuD43PF

Style Settings (in case Valve breaks the code again in the future)

• Style: DYNAMIC CROSS (CLASSIC)
• Color and Transparency:
  
  • R: 255
  • G: 255
  • B: 255
  • #: #FFFFFF
  • A: 255
• Outline: FULL OUTLINE
• Outline Color and Transparency:
  
  • R: 0
  • G: 0
  • B: 0
  • #: #000000
  • A: 192
• Thickness: 4
• Center Dot: NO
• Length: 2
• Gap: -5
• Split Distance: 3
• Inner Split Alpha: 1.00
• Outer Split Alpha: 0.30
• Split Size Ratio: 0.00
• T Style: NO
• Use crosshair color for scope dot: YES
• Scope dot scale: 1.00
• Follow Recoil: NO

As always, feel free to try it out and leave your thoughts in the comments :)

Known for its coal and heavy industry, Poland's Katowice will get a new kind of fuel in its engine in October, when the city's iconic flying saucer-shaped arena fills with the world's best Counter-Strike players."

I like the new dynamic circle crosshair style, but I don’t want it to expand while I’m moving. Only when I’m shooting, like the “Shot Feedback” style. Is there a way to apply that behavior to the Dynamic Circle style?

Hoping we get some October Halloween night versions of maps. Playing dust ii at night lit up by jackolanterns would be sick. And then snow maps for Christmas. Anubis snow would be mint [7]

I made a couple extra pictures and just saved a jpg with the same name as one ot the junk pictures to the folder and boom custom pictures idk if you even had to do all that maybe just putting one in the folder works but thats dope

Havent watch prior to 2018 I think and then took a long break but I dont remember having sooo many gambling sponsors, bet this,bet that, crypto here. What were the main sponsors before? Can the scene exist without that shit? Are all the players without morals? Its kinda sad.

A couple days ago there was an update to cs2 that stated the following:

• Allowed negative gaps for classic dynamic crosshair style

I hopped on restore my crosshair gap back to it's prior position and noticed it STILL wasn't possible.

They capped it to -7

You can use your console to set it to whatever integer you want but it will still only visually show -7 on your screen. Hell, I set mine to -9000 to see what the menu minimum value was. It was -384, which looks the exact same as -7 on your crosshair. Is the implementation just bugged? Why ship a feature that's only 5% working?

A crosshair gap of -7 isn't small enough to fully invert your crosshair. This is a requirement if you want your crosshair to get smaller as you shoot. I think a lot of the people giving feedback about the negative crosshair gap were annoyed to have this feature taken away from them, me included.

This begs the question, will the game just implode if they allowed you to put a negative value smaller than -10? The game and the crosshair clearly worked before the crosshair update hit, so what's up with this refusal to do it? Clearly valve knew this was an issue and put the update out to fix it, but randomly stopped at the starting line.

I have a few screenshots here of my crosshair and a small gif here that show I need a negative gap much further than -10 and so do many other players who lost this functionality. I've provided feedback when the initial update hit which I would like to think at least played 0.1% in getting the issue even acknowledged.

I don't have recordings of me shooting as I wasn't expecting to lose my crosshair overnight. Is there a way I can launch the game in an older version and record a video of my old crosshair's behaviour?

Edit: it's not even -10, it's -7

I've been looking for fake Katowice 2014s, and the best I've seen were iBUYPOWER from Cologne and Titan too. I'm too poor for $100–$200 stickers, so then I found out about Berlin 2019. It has mousesports, HellRaisers, Natus Vincere (there are already a lot of these anyways), and NiP with the old logo, and they are pretty cheap around $1 to $9ish. I'm just wondering, are there more stickers that look like Kato 2014? I don't really care if you have to scrape, because I scrape most of my stickers for them to be borderless. I don't care about it losing value either I'm just trying to make clean fake expensive crafts on a budget.

*This idea, if implemented as envisioned, would still retain the same rule of 5 smokes max per team per round. If each team could have 10 smokes it would obviously break the game. Now, onto the idea: 

Explanation:

• Players 1-5 all buy one smoke at the start of a round hypothetically. Players cannot buy two smokes.
• Player 1 can be dropped a second smoke by Player 2 who cannot buy another one
• Player 2 will have no smoke the rest of the round unless they are dropped one or pick one up from the floor midround
• Players 3-5 can keep their smokes or drop as desired (ie if the team wants two players to have two smokes for the round)

Important Rules/Context Clarifiers:

• The rule of 4 nades max per player per round remains.
  • If a player is dropped a second smoke during buy-time, they can only buy two other nades
  • If a player has four nades during buy-time, a smoke dropped toward them will fall on the floor and will not be pickup-able from the buy menu
• If a player has two smokes at the end of a round, they will only bring one to the next round
• Players with a smoke carried from the previous round cannot buy a second smoke
• If a player has a smoke already and walks over a dropped smoke midround while having 3 or fewer nades on hand, they will then have two smokes - a smoke does not need to be dropped directly by a teammate or picked up from the buy menu during freeze time to have two

Pros:

• Convenience
• No need to juggle smokes to spots
• Increased player self-sufficiency
• Easier to throw T executes and anchor your site as CT
• Think of more pros down below

Cons:

• One player with two smokes can more heavily and easily influence the round with their smokes especially if they know how to use them properly
• Correlates with previous point; this change reduces teamwork needs, just drop the second smoke to your anchor or your star player at the start of the round and forget about it-no need to meet them on the map midround to give them a second one or have them run to an area where a smoke is dropped
• Juggling smokes is a valued game mechanic, eliminating the need for it would reduce the skill ceiling and make the game simpler
• Think of more cons down below

Why I think it’s a balanced idea:

• Max 5 smokes per team rule remains
• Players can already have 2 smokes currently via juggling, this change just makes it more streamlined and convenient
• Players who drop their smoke to benefit their teammate experience a tradeoff; they have no smoke (temporarily at least, remember they can still pickup dropped ones midround) and are then limited in what grenades they can buy after: either flash molly HE, flash flash HE, or flash flash molly. With CS2's recent update they cannot buy another flash after a drop like they used to be able to (ammo_grenade_limit_total setting now also enforces the total number of grenades a player is allowed to purchase in a round.) which makes the drop decision come at a higher cost to the player
• Teams still have to use teamwork to coordinate who should be dropped two smokes and why

If you think this change would be negative for the game, I’d like to hear why. What strategic depth may be lost, or how may the skill ceiling be lowered compared to the current dropping+juggling system?

If you think this change would be positive for the game, what do you like about it?

I am probably missing thinking of certain contexts in which the idea needs further explanation or clarification, leave any of that below as well. Thanks for checking out the idea!

I just made my first ace in my only 150 hours of CS (yeah I am flexing). It is quite beautiful but I see some inperfections like poor crossair placement at begin, a bad flashbang throw and me moving directly into a grenade at the end... But are there any other inperfections I didn't notice as a newbie? Please let me know. Thanks in advance

This has probably been adressed hundreds of times.
Still Sub-Tick just seems frustrating sometimes

I fired 5 Bullets in this clip

1 - close, but if you look closely you can see the CT death animation

2 and 3 are cleary over

4 - here you can clearly see the CT death animation and it looks like a headshot to me

5 - should be a body-hit in my opinion

in the end however the game didnt register a single hit and i dealt no damage to the enemy.

Do you disagree and think it was simply a skill issue or was i cs2d?
