Being able to view the whole map is definitely needed for solo q, you can't always rely on your teammates comms
Not even trolling, I wait a radar update to return to the game otherwise I won't
This is so important imo
I haven't played since before 1.6 but I see your thumb i have to click
I didn't play 1.6 back when everyone used to play it, so seeing that radar now that I have over 10 years of experience in CS:GO and CS2 makes me feel like it must have been almost impossible to play with someone who didn't communicate at all. Just imagine you're playing B on Dust II, your teammate dies and an enemy pops up on your radar. Except you only see the general direction, so you have no idea if he's Top mid or Long or even Lower tunnel.

u made me open cs just to look my radar settings at 2am
Hey philip, can you make a video about Viewmodels and if it's possible to have the weapons straight in the middle? Csgo was way more lenient it seems
The cs 1.6 and cz radar, is it actually useful? I feel like the radar itself kinda useless
I play with voice disabled and rely heavily on my radar for info, i have it set as big as possible.
Thank you for sharing this info, Philip!
I wish we had the option to make the radar behave just like the one on the scoreboard
better? a life changing changes like refund your gun and pick it up from the buy menu maybe make life easier but who said life is ez? next thing they'll give us a pet who can defuse the bomb that will make life easier no? changes in cs are bad those guys at valve clearly don't know what they are doing. if only Minh Lee mind was clear 🙁 they've install an AI operation system in his brain by the time he left.. soo sad
I like the new settings menu. It has a lot of options and it does a good option of helping you navigate them.
Note in CS1.6 while in spectators mode pressing the use key will toggle a 3D map that shows all the normal stuff and how high above ground level each players is it is a nice feature however it required the map maker to provide a top down scan of the map and it doesn't always line up with actually map
banger video
gay vibes
from 0:41 to 0:50 there is a strange hissing noise in the background, was there a smoke deployed or something
classic kliksphillip content
Stunning thumbnail such a handsome man
but you forgot the original radar was in 1.6 back when the radar was a blank canvas
what cs has now is a minimap in an awkward location on screen, not a radar
Thanks ive had my full three kliks of philip for today now! 😋
0:08 I mean, CS2 is less customisable than csgo
No way you ended the video like that
Can i bind my rada zoom to mousescrollwheel. That make a good utilize for 0.25 1 0.1
This game has a radar?
are u running an A/B on the thumbnails? or did you just go full on dementia mode :DDDD not complaining btw LOL
The map zoom sounds amazing to have bound to the knife pull out. When you're in a gun fight the zoomed in map will be more important for quickly discerning where enemies are, and if you have a knife out then you can have full vision of the map as you rotate around.
Zoom, zoom! I'm off to buy a car.
I just leave it stock because looking at the options menu gives me clinical anxiety
Having the full map visible on the radar also allows you to know if the Ts are hitting other bombsite because you can't rely on teammates in matchmaking
Another CLASSIC Philip anal. You know just how to satisfy me every time.
I never knew source had something like incrementvar
Hey, seeing that you are a dynamic-chad, can you make a video why dynamic crosshairs are the best? I personally know why, but friends and teammates still don't like it, even after thorough explanations why it's the best way to play it. I mean obviously the crosshair I play with is the best, because I am objectively correct, and seeing you like it too I can notice that you are almost as objectively as correct as me. You can be almost almost as objectively as correct as me, if you make a video about it. But wait almost almost would mean less correct, so you would simply be more correct. Not quite as correct as me, but good enough
did i just watch this whole thing because of thumbnail and same time got bigaaas thumb up in my aas thiis youtube thing is hilarious reported
thank you, I was looking for the setting to keep Tab map, and the answer from Reddit was "ya can't"
hopefully they just add a setting instead of this workaround
HAVE FUN
Wait people use the radar ? Just use your eyes bro lol 😂
perhaps people will start paying more attention to the radar now ;D
On some resolutions, the radar rotation moves the visible icons incorrectly when your character is not looking either directly due North or South. This seems to be worse with boxier resolutions and a more zoomed-out radar.
how to activate the gaydar
i use bind "m" "toggle cl_radar_scale 0.25 0.5 1"
Can i open radar on fullscreen!!? If i died i want to be captan of the team
the zoom will zoom
i still struggle to find the "turn on" button on the anticheat. i think this is missing in my game.
5 minutes of pure facts. So refreshing.
I hope you all buy his music pack on cs2, it's called "heading to the source" or something, i personally own 7 of them which i will be selling when this comment blows up for profit.
Wake me up when I get to use the square minimap that comes up while holding tab to show the scoreboard, without having to hold tab to show the scoreboard.
you can bind it to mwheeldown and make it 5 level and leave mwheelup for jump or switch it up as you prefer
that variable command is so cool
i'm so glad this video didn't go under my radar
