I'll try out the cheap rifles and see if I prefer it to the SMG or pistol route.
I tried out going pistol and a smoke / flash / HE grenade and it works really well for me as a CT. I don't I feel more comfortable / accurate using a Five seveN than a Tec-9.
The big plus of this route is getting an AK or an M4 in round 3 and you can potentially keep the same pistol if your team gets rolling.
I tried the Galil and FAMAS, they seem fine when they work but I tend to still sell them.
So far the best results on Terrorist have been mowing down people with the Bizon. It's high risk high reward but getting 2 or 3 kills end up giving me $1200 - 1800 extra easy.
I've also found playing with friends who don't know how to use their rifles and buy Negevs extremely hard to carry

Uh, what? Whatever gets you frags man, but...
I will often do a Tec 9 armour rush if we are in an iffy situation.
I think I play a bit more conservatively on 2nd round after a pistol win on CT and go for head shots. Losing 2nd round after winning pistols I've personally found to be devastating on CT.
Started up a ranked game, decently high rank (whatever 4 stars is). The entire enemy team dies immediately. Then again. Then again. Suicides every time. Thought that maybe the map was glitching out, but someone then told me about the update to CS:GO to include experience.
Apparently people are playing ranked games to grind XP, then ending them as quickly as possible in order to get skins. Trolls now have a monetary (albeit small) incentive to troll in a mode that I actually care about. Guess community servers are back in season.
Report them for griefing. Small consolation, I know, hopefully next time they'll get banned.
I think the hope is that the ranking system is going to eventually be used to discourage cheating and griefing. Prevent new accounts from messing with you(r presumably seasoned account).
Edit: and I thought in competitive mode you got xp for match score? I.e. you lose 0-16 you're not going to get any xp.
I wouldn't mind seeing an all-hacks tournament. Anything goes. Walls? Sure. Triggerbotting? Bring it on. Maybe people bring in counter-hacks. Counter-counter-hacks. Somebody has to win.
That would be interesting. Titanfall kind of did that - they had a cheaters-only section of the game, where it was all just aimbot v aimbot, but they never made a tournament of it.
Dunno, there wasn't exactly anything else released about it, as far as I know, and didn't get put there myself to tell you. I think there might have been an article about it, but damned if I remember where I saw it.
They just dropped a big update, with a new gun. R8 revolver.
Did I mention it's accurate while running and a 1HKO in the leg?
Aside from that, it's unlike anything else in CS. You have to click and hold, and then a second later it fires. I'm not a game design genius, so I don't want to trash it right away. Maybe I'll get used to it, but man, it doesn't feel good.
Also, it's buggy as fuck. Can shoot it during pre-round freeze time. Can shoot it while defusing. Can hold right click to shoot immediately, instead of waiting for the hammer to cock.
This gun is crazy, 4 times more accurate on a ladder than most rifles, similar accuracy to the AWP in general, jump shooting is the same as the Scout, crouching accuracy is better than the AK47. Run and gun is better than any SMG.
If you have $850 there is no reason to buy any other weapon.

And not that it saved you a shitty game or anything, but the other team wouldn't have gotten any XP by suiciding every round to lose quickly.
But.

Even if CS:HAX turned out to be not fun to watch, at least the rounds should be over quickly.

It really needs fixing. Gaben pls

When that added that gun, it was an unstoppable death machine.
I'm still worried though.
