Gah, my trial ran out also, just as I was getting to grips. The turmoil, I kind of like it, the matchmaking seems to want to put you with UK players, I might just fold...

Didn't you see the amazing teleporting death machine when i was the last man? I wasn't doing bad myself after a while, but again I don't know how much of that is down to the lag.  Well I'm glad you like it, poor Swirl couldn't het a kill so he couldn't have been enjoying it.

There was definitely something wrong with that game. I initially thought it was because I hadn't clocked we were playing Competitive instead of Casual and I'd been forgetting to buy armour, but even with my kevlar on I was dying in record time. Even had a few guys kill me from around corners, which was a tad frustrating to say the least.

Aye, I did much better after that game. Even went positive, which was nice.

Personal highlight of the night was me being the last one alive on CT on Italy, managing to take down two of the last three guys on the other team, and leading the hostages to the safe zone... only to be taken down six feet from victory.

Such a roller coaster. Love it.

Oh, I also fell in love with the AUG/SIG 553; single scope, but you can take someone down in a couple of shots right down that long corridor leading up to the T spawn on Italy. Brilliant stuff.

maps, not morass....

Anyone about for a few games around 830-930 ish??

Dibs dibs dibbity dibs dibs dibs.

How much fun is Arms Race?! I usually hate that sort of small map clusterfuck but my word it's addictive. Nearly won the game last night, assuming that pistols are the last set of weapons you work through. Think I was onto the last one on 26 kills and a guy with 27 won the game for us. 

Had a few decent games of bomb diffuse after as well with some talkative brummies. Great fun this game.

What are most of you playing this on? I can do either PC or Xbox, but I haven't seen a trail available for PC on steam.

Do you find the majority of games you're being matched with UK/Euro players? I might just splurge if that's the case.

Seems to be, though might just be luck.

Cool.

Around 9ish? Warned the Missus I want the telly around then...!!

Dang, telly has been nabbed. Will jump on as soon as I can.

Enjoyed the majority of that, I was awful compared to last night though. It's a fun game, the short rounds make it addictive.

Yeah the console version has some really strange aim acceleration which is really irritating for a game that involves so much close quarter spraying. Its annoying that there are no options to change it, I think it would be a lot better with no acceleration or at least if it was a bit smoother.

Starting to realise that being good at this game is going to come down to how well you can use the AWP. At the very least you need to be able to use one of the scoped rifles as snipers dominate on the console version because of the awkward aiming resulting in players crouch shooting a lot.

You can make it easier to aim on the move by going into settings and assigning walk to something (I have it on left stick click). That way you can move quicker than crouching but still have a modicum of accuracy.

It's a bit mental that this isn't set up by default.
