Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 6/9/16 (6/10/16 UTC, 1.35.3.6)
MISC
- Replaced the penalty for the suicide or disconnection of a player. Instead of the elimination of round-end income, a living enemy player now receives compensation equal to the missed kill reward opportunity.
- On Valve official servers, the current map will be excluded from the vote options at the end of a match.
- Modified behavior of mp_endmatch_votenextmap_keepcurrent (default 1). When set to 0, the current map will be excluded from the end of match map vote panel.

CS:GO - Trying to get Consistent Aim? Here's Simple, Easy Warm-Up Regimen you can use to Stay Consistent and also Improve Overtime
If you are taking a day off of playing, don't feel like cooperating with teammates and feel pretty crappy about your aim, kick it up a notch and add 20-40 minutes to each segment. You might not reap the benefits same day, but by next month people will be inboxing you for that aimbot. Alright, time to put in work.
IMPORTANT: On days that you intend to play MM/pugs/scrims/matches only do roughly the time specificied and not too much more or you will burn yourself out and play too agressively!
PART 1: KILL BOTS (5 minutes)
Killing bots is by far the most efficient way to warm-up your aim in general. You get to put down a large amount of targets in a short period of time whilst practicing tracking, spraying and tapping without having to worry about getting shot, or having to look for your next target. Just let em respawn and pwn.
Tap, spray wall, spray bot, spray multiple bots, follow bots heads** around with crosshair.
How to:
- Put this bot exec in /csgo/cfg/: https://mega.co.nz/#!HFJBFRIB!s2bTK89WteF62dSCFSjG5BYe1zb4wKdn5T-NDFfV4dI
- Load up the map ak-47_map_csgo
- Type "exec bots", "give weapon_ak47" and "mp_friendly fire 1" in console all without quotes, and knockout bots for 5 minutes
**By follow bots heads around I literally mean this!! This is the best feature about bot dming vs regular multiplayer deathmatch. By following bots heads around you practice following targets SLOWLY and not just FLICKING. Ever seen an awper that can hit every flick but not the easy shot where the enemy is right in front of them walking with their back turned? Its because they practice intense fast flicking but not basic shots and it comes back to bite them. Don't embarass yourself! BOT DM!.
PART 2: CLASSIC AIM TRAINING (5 minutes)
Now although hitting those slow moving target is important, flicking is obviously, also important. Hitting those shots in situations where you have to move from one target to the next or move your crosshair from watching one spot to another when you are unsure of where the enemy will peek. Obviously a good player will limit the amount of times they will have to rely on flicking to kill people but even the best of the best can't know where everyone will be if they have had time to setup in a retake situation, or if you are rushing them as a Terrorist. Therefore its very important to be able to hit your flicks, and as many as possible! This is by far my favourite and what I feel is the most efficient way to practice your flicks because it warms you up for multiple width and height offsets. And again, its better than multiplayer DM because you knockout multiple targets in a MUCH short period of time. Have fun!
How to:
- Load up the map training aim csgo 2 dark
- Use these settings (settings in desc)
- Beat your score at least 3 times (50+ decent | 60+ above average | 70+ good | 80+ great* | 90+ excellent)
PART 3: Aim_map (2 rounds -> First to 70 kills "wins")
A classic and integral part of aim training in CS. Warm up for all of those pixel head peeks across all maps. Unlike regular deathmatch, aim_maps help prepare you for head peeks on ANY MAP, and not just de_dust2.
Any aim_map server will work, and this is one time a multi-player DM provides the most effective practice for the kind of aim training you are looking for. It satisfys the need that CS players have to hit those very tough headshots on opponents who only have their heads showing. These situations arise multiple times per round and any good player is always looking for a spot where they can expose less of their body so that they have they advantage when you come out to peek them! Take that advantage away by being ready to find that head and take it off with aim_map training.
This is the only aim map server I use:
NetcodeGuides.com AIM MAPS 24/7: 23.19.172.139:27015
Two heavy-weights goin at it in their primes:
PART 4: Surf_ / Kz_ !
Learning Kz is one of my favourite passions/hobbies in CS. Surf as well. Becoming good at both Kz_ and surf will improve your movement, AIM, YES AIM, and allow you to take full advantage of a round that comes down to moments. Remember a time where you missed a defuse by .01 seconds? That's probably because you could've maneuvered your way around the map more efficiently, at least saving a couple moments. It's a very rewarding and effective way to adjust to any new sensitivity, while also allowing you to take your game to the next level beyond just straight up aiming. Take pride in your accomplishments and try and beat your records. If you start to get frustrated, you're doing it right. Never gibop!
Beat a map/pb/section! improve your aim and smoothness.
KZ: House of Climb #1 - 74.91.119.123:27015 | House of Climb #2 - 72.5.195.237:27015
SURF: OG:\\ Timer Surf #1 - 74.91.113.128:27015/ | OG:\\ Timer Surf #2 - 74.91.117.24:27015
P.S. F newb surf/beginner KZ maps. They don't prepare you for tough ramps/jumps. Take pride in getting farther everytime as opposed to only being satisfied with beating whole maps everytime and you will have a much better time learning and becoming better. Once you are good its a whole nother level of fun.
Here is my favourite map and a walk through for every shortcut. HoC is on it constantly so hopefully you come across it :]

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update for 7/16/14
Via: GlobalOffensive
CSGO update 1.34.2.0 is now live.
The previous build has been pinned as 'jul_10'
Thanks.
Release Notes for 7/16/2014
[GAMEPLAY]
- Fixed the bullet penetration system not penetrating static GRATE surfaces (fences) and brushes that are NODRAW on both sides (for example, the ladder in Cache).
- Fixed upper shutters in kitchen having a NODRAW face inside that wall that prevented wallbanging from one direction (bottom wood is unchanged).
- Clipped a part behind van to prevent bomb from getting stuck.
- Thinned B "bench" wall a bit to allow more damage to penetrate.
- Clipped windows in palace so you can't jump into them.
- The bank side door has been opened to reveal a new path into A.
- The back A stairs have been flipped to enter nearer to the bomb plant zone.
- A site has been opened up, the APC has been moved back and a new box has fallen off of the semi.
- "Quickfall" palettes have been added to the bottom of ladder on T-side tunnels to allow for quick decent (ala Nuke).
- The flower box at the CT sniper spot at Long A is now higher.
- The connector tunnels have become more spacious .
- One of the windows in Connector Tunnels has been opened up (for possibilities...).
- Removed shelf in sniper nest above A to allow grenade damage through.
- Stomped some flowers in the box outside bathrooms leading to A because they got in the way of an important sight-line.
- Added a light to the bathroom connector to Long A. This improves visibility of players looking from mid connector.
- Fixed the steam pipes on connector to no longer leak steam.
- Clipped a few more areas to smooth movement and cleaned up nav mesh.
- Updated radar image.
- Thanks to iBP steel and c0tt0n [/u/c0ttonnz]
- Removed OP flower pot at back of B .
- Added a lip at the top of main B entrance to provide more cover to T team.
- Slightly extended large planter by B entrance to close a thin sight line from back of B to side door.
- Drop-down to alternative B entrance has been widened to allow a better view of the room below.
- Drop-down room roof beams have been moved further away from the stairs.
- Roof of alternative B entrance has been opened up for additional grenade throws.
- Locations where the bomb could be dropped out of players' reach have been clipped off.
- Lighting changes at some locations to provide better visibility.
- Shifted tapestry in CT sniper room up and made it lighter color to make players more visible against it.
- Removed collisions on red light above B doorway (Long B).
- Simplified drill tower bases and pipes based on Operation feedback.
- Fixed lighting issues on warehouse support beams.
- By popular demand, added a 6th crosshair style (cl_crosshairstyle 5) which emulates the non-dynamic behavior of 1.6 and Source. Just like the previous versions of CS, this crosshair does not accurately portray current weapon accuracy, spread or recoil, but does provide feedback about whether or not you are currently firing a weapon. If you are a new player or you haven't quite mastered recoil or accurate range, use crosshair styles 0, 2 or 3. They accurately show up-to-date feedback on your current weapon's bullet spread/recoil at every given state.
- All weapon cases, weapon case keys, operation passes, name tags and stickers are now marketable as commodities on Steam Community Market.
- Replaced "Death Comes" sticker art.
RHI: Update is 110.8mb

Pistols:
Glock - High rate of fire in semi-auto. Has a switch-able Semi-auto to burst fire mode. Is the default pistol for Terrorists (T)

Dual barettas(Elite) - One of the fastest pistols, with only the CZ75-AUTO beating it. Very large ammo capacity for the pistol category, 30/120. A recent update has moved the price to $800 to $500 allowing it to be a great pick for pistol rounds.
Deagle - Known for being one of the best pistols in the Counter-Strike series. Very high damage output, able to one shot, headshot enemies even with helmets. Recent update has improved it's first shot and second shot accuracy while standing and crouched.
Tec-9 -Terrorist (T) only pistol, replaces the Five-Seven slot for Counter-Terrorists (CT) Very high ammo capacity. 32/120. Can kill in a single shot to the head even with helmet equipped. A recent update has changed the Tec-9 to make it more viable as it was not seeing much play at all. Giving it a better standing still first shot accuracy than before.

Shotguns: (All shotguns give a $900 kill reward.)
MAG-7 - High damage with a fast pump action, draw and reload time. Has a 5/32 ammo capacity.
Nova - Lowest spread thus needing better user accuracy for it to be used effectively. Sawed-Off - Has a 610 unit range limit, with the "pellets" disappearing after a certain range it's highly not recommended unless you know you are in very close quarters.
XM1014 - Semi-Automatic firing, high recoil and will require two shots to kill unless hit in the head.
Rifles:
AK47 - High recoil, but amazing damage output. Your go-to rifle as Terrorist.

M4A1-S - Same as M4A4 but comes with a detachable silencer and has a 20/40 capacity. It also has a small recoil pattern than the M4A4.
Famas - The 'force buy' weapon of the M4. In other words, the economic version of it. Galil - Same as Famas.
AUG - Tighter spray pattern than M4A4, but slightly higher recoil and lower rate of fire. SCAR-20/GS3G1 (Auto) - Great damage output and rate of fire, but doesn't got that 'peek threat' which AWP has.
AWP - Highest damage output of all weapons in the game, but also the lowest rate of fire as well. Easy to get pinned down with.
Scout -High damage, Relatively high unscoped accuracy, It's accurate at the peak and descent of a jump, Slightly faster rate of fire than the AWP, User suffers a lower speed penalty than with AWP, User maintains same speed when moving while using the scope.

CS:GO - List of things to make you a better player by Dunx29
- If you win a round, run around looking for dropped nades. Can save you over $1000 for the next round.
- Change the radar scale to show the whole map. This can be done in game settings and gives you much better info when you glance at the map. cl_radar_scale 0.3 (Thanks juiceyuh)
- Don't bother buying helmet against a fully loaded T side unless you can afford to completely buy up. They will either use AK or AWP which are 1 shot head shots either way. You're better off with a smoke. Edit: A lot of people are misinterpreting this one so I will make it very clear. When I say fully loaded T side I mean you just lost a round to them and they all had aks or an awp. Your helmet will almost certainly be of less use than a smoke grenade the following round if this happens. If you would prefer a helmet then go for it, but in my experience it is a waste of $350 if you knew they all had aks and you had very low money, which could have been spent on 2 flashes/a smoke. If you can easily afford a helmet obviously buy it.
- Turning up your in-game brightness is usually beneficial. If you have an nVidia video card, open the nVidia software and increase digital vibrance to over 75%.
- Wear headphones, and have the volume as loud as possible without being uncomfortable.
- If you spot enemies, don't say "THEY'RE ALL SHORT!" Instead say "2 SHORT!" or "MULTIPLE SHORT." If you get killed by one, then there is one, not the whole team. This often causes over rotating and a round loss.
- When you die, say where they killed you from, how many, if they have an AWP and what damage you did to them. Tell your team where they are going on deathcam if you see, then STFU until next round. No one wants to hear you complaining about how you died as it ruins your teams hearing. Fast, accurate info, then silence.
- Announce flashes before you throw them if teammates are close. E.g. "Flashing tunnels!"
- Don't buy until you check your team's economy. If you're not sure if they are buying (team average $3.5k), ask over mic quickly.
- When you are CT, if you have the dropped bomb, DO NOT go looking for the last 1 or 2 Ts if you outnumber them. I have lost so many rounds because of cocky teammates doing this.
- Don't use the bizon past round 3. It is completely useless against armor.
- Announce your molotovs so your teammates don't smoke them. Announce your smokes so you don't double smoke.
- Walk everywhere when clutching unless you are short on time.
- You don't need to 180 to avoid flashbangs, just past 90 degrees will do.
- Compliment big plays from team mates, and say "good try." Or don't say anything if they go down while clutching. It really helps your team play their best. Giving them shit for losing can ruin the rest of a players game.
- When you're on T side, take note of which site the other team's top fragger plays. That's probably going to be the more dangerous site.
- Lower your sensitivity. Lower it some more. A full swipe for me is barely 180. If you can spin around 5 times in one movement it is way too high. Also, don't settle with the default cs:go crosshair. Change to a simple cross or dot. You'll have to experiment to find what's right for you. Use this site to design it.
- Buy smokes before nades. If you are the sort of person to buy a lot of nades, watch a replay of yourself. They usually do no damage, and if they do, it's usually below 20hp. Use smokes to cut off sections of the map e.g. one side of mid on inferno, and stop rushes when you are CT.
- On dust_2, on the first 2 rounds as ct, get the guy closest to mid doors to run and look through them. Most of the time you can spot which site they are heading toward and you can't get awped. If you don't see any they are probably going B. This is important as winning the pistol on CT is very important on this map.
- Don't pre-nade long at dust_2 as CT unless a flash comes over. Also, run towards long backwards so you don't get blind.
- If you demolish a rushing T side at a certain site, they probably won't rush it again the next round.
- Always play the same map area as CT every round. If you want to swap, ask someone. Make sure to change your positioning on your area each round so you aren't predictable.
- If you use m4a1-s and run out of ammo, run through spawn to get a refill in the first 45 seconds. Works for any gun.
- Never, ever, EVER run in first with the bomb. If you are rushing, throw it back if you are at the front. Only exception being a vent drop on nuke or if you're showing the bomb to fake.
- On CT, suggest your strongest player to play the center role e.g. close short/mid on dust_2 and arches on inferno. You need this guy everywhere as soon as possible. If they would prefer to play another role, so be it.
- If you win a round as T and haven't planted, you can still plant the bomb for an extra $300.
- Keep an eye on your teammate's money. If they are unable to purchase a gun and you have an excess of money, drop them a gun so they can buy armor / grenades. Make sure they agree before you buy it so you don't double buy. If you are poor, hit them up for a drop if they are loaded. 2 AKs are better than an awp and a glock. (Thanks to CommunistPuppy for the last 2)
- If you hear the "tink!" of a bouncing flashbang, snap your mouse hard to the right immediately. Assume every "tink!" is a flashbang especially for you. Different nades make different bounce noises, so that will be something you need to learn on your own.
- If you are CT and are watching an area alone, announce when you are dropping it. Especially mid on dust_2. "Leaving mid to go to A." lets the B guys know the T side might come from mid unannounced.
- If you can, watch pro tournaments on twitch. Apart from all the knowledge you gain from watching the best in the world play, they are just damn fun to watch!
- You can only use a maximum of 55 armour per round, so don't rebuy unless you have a lot less than 55.
- If you already have a helmet from a previous round you only need to buy kevlar for $650 to repair both kevlar and helmet (no reason to spend $1000 again).
- If you are lucky enough to play with a really nice player who did better than you in game, add them as a friend and ask if they would like to lobby with you and give you pointers.
