    20-30 seconds is for server cpu saving, so that means we will get soon DangerZone in CS2. just imagine what 10.000 bullets holes over 3 minutes will do to the server cache, so we got capacity planning right there for huge gamemodes

    yeah its crazy….full of cheaters. none of the ragers i bookmarked since cs2 release have been banned. what a failure.

    Cleardecals was so awesome. I had it bound to S. I used it to practice spray. Do a spray, move back a bit and do it again in the same spot.

    How old is that john McDonald talking anti cheat photo? Feels like i saw it like 15 years ago for the first time

    This update should have happened last summer after the first major. I am glad they did do something, now that Deadlock and its updates are starting to die.

    I got a cheater who was 28k CSR last season in my 2nd placement match of premier 😂. Yeah VAC 3.0 is cooked, I have a whole notepad of saved blatant cheater accounts that have not been banned since 2023. Shit game, I hate losing 550 csr to cheaters. That means I lost 5.5 hours of wins, waste of time. Every match in high csr is still -550 +110. It should just be linear like +/ 150 or something.

    There are still so many core issues Valve needs to fix 🙁

    They should focus on:
    – Fixing the Economy Structure instead of bandaid fixes. They should return the price of everything back to what it was and just remove $1400 loss bonus. (Revert the CT Incendiary changes too). Valorant uses this: 1900, 2400, 2900, 3400 loss bonus to start, they figured it out 5 years ago in 2020. Double ecos should not exist in MR12.

    – Improving the netcode. LANs + FaceIT should be on 128 tick subtick, allow us to host our own servers without locking us out of settings again. (Valve disabled this in the limited test like snakes).

    – All they have to do is lock the grenade physics to 64 subtick on every server, make it a cheat protected command. So if Faceit/Lans use 128 subtick the nades lineups will be the same in 99% of cases. (The different lineups in the beta is why valve removed the option). Again Valorant has had 128 tick for half a decade.

    For premier, they should show the season 1 leaderboard in the dropdown tab filtered by peak CSR.

    – Premier should have direct CSR/Elo refunds if you play a match and a cheater gets banned. Going season 2 and on.

    – 4 stacks should be removed again. Valve just needs to flip the “find nearby” players to have the group/party advertised as an open lobby to join instead of solo players just looking. Finding a 5th would be much easier.

    – 5 stack should be hard coded to only play against: Other 5 stacks, a Trio + Duo queue and lastly in rate circumstances a Trio + 2 solos with a 20% loss reduction.

    (This will balance out queue times to be fast enough, while having somewhat more balanced matches and restrictions not being too sweaty like faceit).

    – They should have done -Dust 2, +Overpass but they aren’t confident in their optimization so they are doing weird shit with overpass changes. Train needs its spawns adjusted since CTs can get to long dog before Ts drop B!

    – They still need a better community server browser and scripting support. Even Fortnite on the phone is better at user created content than cs.

    SMGs need a rebalance, after they fix the economy to have $1900 loss bonus as a start. First of all, revert the crouch nerf to MP7 and MP5 sd.

    MP9:
    – Drop price to $1200
    – reduce magazine size to 25, with 75 in reserve.
    – reduce range modifier to .83 (17% falloff, removes mid/long range dmg. It’s either nerf accuracy or the dmg fall off. This is better for a gun that has 857 rpm)
    – reduce jumping accuracy by -25%. (Removes cheese)

    {This will make the gun be more in line with the Mac-10 in power. It still has its advantages and is basically not nerfed at all when you position correctly at close range}

    Mag-7:
    – Increase price to $1600
    – Give it some non-impactful buff like faster reload speed as a tradeoff.

    (Raising price so it doesnt become mp9 2.0 in the meta)

    UMP-45:
    – Raise price to $1300
    – Raise range modifier to .80 (inbetween OP in 2017 and now)
    – Reduce reserve ammo to 75. (3 even reloads)

    {For 2nd round this a good option on big maps like Train/Dust 2}

    MP7:
    – Raise movement speed to 230
    – rebuff crouch accuracy
    – (Maybe: Raise Magazine size to 40 rounds. More realistic since the model has that mag irl)
    – When a CT uses the weapon, extend the stock.

    {The M4s have faster peeks than an SMG. It should be buffed to act more like an SMG}

    MP5 SD:
    – Raise base damage to 29. (Same as MP7)
    – Decrease range modifier to .80 (5% more falloff than MP7 due to suppressor)
    – 60 reserve ammo (2 reloads)
    – Remove 0.5m of accuracy from the Standing/Crouching accuracy.

    Basically now an MP7 in damage but more fall off, accuracy (when tapping but better when spraying) and less ammo.

    Bizon:
    – Needs a rework

    P90:
    – Increase standing/crouching accuracy to be the same as the pre-nerf MP9.
    – Now it gets SMG kill reward ($600)

    For Bizon rework:
    – It costs $1750 now
    – base damage increased to 29.
    – rate of fire increased to 800 RPM.
    – Range modifier is now .83
    – 1 reserve magazine (1 reload only)
    – 230 movement speed.

    Basically now it’s a Mac-10 (accuracy) that does MP7 damage with 64 bullets. Basically the P90JR, fills gap between $1500 MP7 and $2350 p90
