This game legitimately makes me angry. Why doesn't Tittyfall 2 have more players? Or UT99? Or literally any other good shooter. Rainbow Six Siege is equally as shit. This is why FPS games are fucking dead.

>that near 20% drop

What happened?

twitch streamers

i dare you to come up with solutions to these issues without screwing up the main appeals of it

>>14726911

>Make a new game on a new engine that doesn't have terrible fucking hitreg.

>Offer high tick servers with official rulesets.

>Remove lootboxes.

>Get rid of the fucking awp

>Communicate more with the playerbase

>Let community servers let people have skins they don't own

>Allow clientside modding on casual servers like in CSS

>Add bhopping to casual servers

There, now CS:GO can be a viable FPS.

Removing the AWP would be screwing up the main appeal

Just play good competitive FPS instead

>>14726612

valve is proof that if you throw enough money at it and create an artificially inflated e-sports scene you can make a hit.

I miss the zmod servers before they fucked it up by introducing the orange box engine.

>>14727411

UT99 is the best multiplayer FPS to date.

>>14727407

I only need to pick one

>>14727439

With the power of shit-posting anything can happen.

It's another "trash player comes to /v/ to complain about a multiplayer video game" episode. Reminder that nobody is forcing you to play it, OP.

>>14726612

Quake Live is alive and well.

It's the reason I play 1.6.

>>14727896

On the other hand millions of sheep are happy to fling themselves into the meat grinder.

>>14727420

Because we have good RPGs post-chrono nigger. Because we have good platformers post-muhrio. We don't have good FPSs post-UT/Quake

>>14728264

We got a kickass Doom mod community, that's good enough.

CS GO haters are the same people who pretend to like arena fps and only play instagib

>>14727420

Because nothing better has come along. These games get recommended because they're the best. The original Quake still has content that outdoes virtually anything that's been built for any other FPS. Doom and Doom II have endless WADs. Unreal Tournament still has great multiplayer.

>>14728288

what an absolutely terrible post

>>14726931

The AWP isn't unbalanced you fucking scrub. That said, CSGO is trash compared to CSS

Arena shooters are a mess.

xtreme bait.

Cs fucking sucks, twitch reaction fps in general do

>Low-tick servers.

>High-tic servers have a completely different meta do to the way things work.

>People claim this is just placebo.

You're delusional if you think it's a "completely different meta". It makes a difference for hitreg, somewhat spraying and where you have to throw grenades. The gameplay itself is fundamentally the same. The only reason you might perceive it as very different is because anyone who plays on those servers is very likely to take the game seriously and actually give a shit, which is not an issue with the game, just with communities in general.

>You have to pay money to get access to the higher tick servers.

>Higher tick servers also give you access to the ruleset played in Leagues and how it was meant to be played.

Servers cost money, that's just how it is. Aside from some handy server commands, knife rounds and OT, there isn't too terribly much of a difference in Valve competitive and 3rd party ones. I do agree it's a superiour format, but c'est la vie. The majority of the userbase is casual, and I don't blame Valve for not messing with that when the people who are actually serious about it already have somewhere to go.

>High-level play is pixel spotting.

Not at all. High level play mostly boils down to mindgames and getting into as advantageous a fight as possible against your opponent by using your utility or otherwise distracting him. Yes, it's fully possible to just run out and hit a nutty shot on someone occasionally, but if you're actually playing at a high level you have to keep in mind the other dude can do the exact same thing to you. High level play does not revolve around just "pixel-spotting", it's just one of many facets to git gud at.

>But the guns are innacurate.

>So there's a chance you might not hit the pixel.

>If you do hit the pixel it might not register.

>If it doesn't register you'll likely lose the round.

>Engagements can be won or lost based on pure RNG because of this.

Now here's an actually legit point. I do agree first shot inaccuracy is kind of bullshit and should be decreased. However, one thing to keep in mind which a lot of people neglect is that all CS games before had even worse first shot inaccuracy. Seriously, try it out on a wall at the same distance and you'll see.

>Loot boxes.

Are Jewish but don't affect gameplay. Doesn't bother me much.

>Terrible fucking community.

>Esports cancer.

Is cancer, but not a fault of the game. These things happen. Just because a fanbase is AIDS doesn't mean the product itself is necessarily bad. It happens.

>AWP can one-shot hitscan without penalty.

If it had no penalty you would literally see the meta being 5 AWPs whenever you can afford it. You don't. AWPs definitely have penalties.

>It's possible to carry entire matches with this weapon.

It's possible to carry entire matches with any weapon. It's the nature of the game. There's plenty of riflers that can take over games too.

>Peakers advantage

Is an inherent part of online multiplayer. You will always be able to see the enemy before they see you when you peek them because it has to look smooth. Therefore you do an action and get immediate feedback in game, however the people you're playing against have to wait to receive the packages of you moving before they can see it. It's in the nature of online.

I do agree CSGO has a bigger problem with it than most, though. The reason for that is because players accelerate insanely fast in the game, and therefore lag matters more when you start moving so quickly. You could conceivably fix this by slowing down acceleration, but that would make movement feel like shit and incredibly sluggish. It's valid enough, but there's not much you can do about it.

>>14728416

>Unbalanced maps

Maps are honestly very balanced at this point. The biggest problem I see right now is it's too easy to get fucked economically as a CT, but that's over every map. I also don't think maps need or even should aim to be balanced 50/50 because you both get a turn on the "OP" side anyway. As long as you get at least one gun round playing normally (ie no more than 11-4 standard), I think it's fine.

>Terrible hitboxes

What are you smoking. The hitboxes are some of the best out of any game ever since that update a couple of years back to the hitbubbles and whatever. They're literally some of the best hitboxes in FPS games today.

>Terrible communication between valve and the playerbase

They could do better, but there's a reason for this. Better to have a bunch of fags idly bitching than to explain yourself and cause a massive shitstorm. Even seemingly innocuous statements can be memed to death and it's just not very pleasant. Just look at the statement they put out about "Focusing on Panorama for 2017" or whatever and now everyone's moaning about it because it's 2018 and it's not out yet. If they'd have simply shut up about it, you'd have a few people complaining the UI is gay, but that's always been the case. It's an understandable strategy.

>Reddit forcing players out because they called someone gay

Honestly not sure which player you're referring to. I don't doubt it, but who? That being said, the CS community is honestly one of the most tolerant esports communities in that regard. Just look at Sadokist who called someone a nigger on stream and told someone else to go hang himself with a belt and people are still clamoring for him to come back. It's not so bad.

>Valve cracked down on community servers letting people put on skins they don't own

I agree wholeheartedly with this one. It's incredibly Jewish and in very poor taste.

>No more bhopping

You can still bhop, it's just much harder. TOO hard to hit in my opinion since they nerfed it so hard outside of the difficulty, but it's alright. I'm fine with it not being CSS states, though, it was way too OP and too easy to perform at that(Phoon et al.).

>No client-side modding

It's sad, but somewhat understandable. They had apparently found some pretty serious exploits in it which could be used for cheating and wanted to lock and fix it. They never actually fixed it, and they should, but meh.

>Bots are shit

They are. No argument here. Bots are a fucking atrocity and should be fixed.

>It has all of this and is still more played than your favorite video game

Because it's fun. Remember when you had that, anon? Good times.

>no low-mid skill players leaving a perpetual circlejerk of 40 year old dads and "vets" deterring any new players from trying

There's actually a shitloads of low-mid skill players in Xonotic.

also i don't understand how no one fucking notices that every single update some gun gets nerfed. nerf after nerf after nerf.

>>14727420

why don't you stop being a dumb nigger and actually play the damn game you fucking millennial shitstain.

>>14728559

Because that's literally every game now and people are used to it. If a developer balanced a game around actually giving players more options today the playerbase would be confused and probably scared.

>>14726604

it's like 1.6 but more balanced and you have to pay for things that were free in 1999

>competitive

I would say you're a faggot, but every other gamemode is fucking dead, even on previous CS games.

>>14726604

Titanfall 2 is pretty damn decent, it's head and shoulders above GO. I got bored of it as I'm not big on MP shooters but I gave it 15-20 hours and had a relatively good time.

>>14726604

Because the game will run on even toasters?

>>14769656

Not really tbh.
