CS:GO - New operation launched

[sirtoby]

Today, Valve launched the new CS:GO operation, called "Vanguard". It features 6 new maps as well an extendable "campaign". The pass is 5.99$ or your regional equivalent. Also, the Armsrace mode got a makeover. Read more HERE at the source.

hyped.

[MeltyMoon]

YES

[ZetZet]

It's awful. I did 3 missions and now I have to wait 4 days to get another one.

That's what I call an optimized game otherwise a proper FPS game! 

 

Much love, Valve.

[OnCue]

I've never actually done an Operation, how do they work?

It's not much different from the last operation. Last operation you got about 2 missions a week and they were random. But this time you can choose the missions yourself.

Idk, CS:GO is pretty CPU bottlenecked, a lot of people have stutter issues with it and no other game. Just google CS:GO stuttering.

*Looks at the Marquis map* Seine Crossing... Is that you?

I think you just need decent specs to play it without stuttering.

I strangely read that in the voice of Yahtzee  . But that was my first thought too

Its basically just a pack of new maps and special case u can get dropped only when u buy this operation.

The missions u get (get 20 kills with specific gun, win 16 rounds in specific comp. Match etc.) Are easy but only give u shitty $0.08 weapon skins...

Each mission has a unique set of weapon skins hidden inside the case.

These operations last for few months then they are closed and nobody can play them until next paid operation comes out.

As time goes on the cost to buy the operation drops.

just goes to show, if your game runs smooth, can do 144fps, and the core gameplay elements are bulletproof, you don't need good graphics.

 

in other words YES!!

[prolemur]

CS:GO is a pretty light game to run. I'm definitely going to get this for the Christmas season.

What do you mean by "decent specs" I have a 780 Ti and an 8320 and it stutters for me, not all the time but it happens

[Jerakl]

No money to buy the pass

[qwertywarrior]

ehh what stops people from just copying the map and loading it on a server for people to download ?

Nothing, they are all community made maps that have either been in previous CS games or in pug clients like CEVO, or both. All this means is that the maps are in the Volvo matchmaking system now.

you get(or pick) missions to complete, completing a mission results in a weapon skin as reward(random) mainwhile you are also able to obtain the weapon box when doing these missions, wich contains a random skin of said series, if you have 10 of the same of a serie, let's say 10 DE something something skin then you are able to trade these for the weapon below that in the list, up to the final(bottom) item, wich is the most rare and has the highest price most of the time, you can sell these skins for money in the market place(going form $0,08 for a weapon up to $300+ for a knife)

Actually, I have a core 2 quad 9300 and the game works just fine without stuttering and low fps besides going though smokes and flashes and molotoves, but thats probably because of my GT 430.

Decent specs would prevent you from stuttering all the time... All the time...

[EChondo]

Sweet! Been looking at Season for weeks now, I can finally play it!

Thats just silly combination: medium end cpu with superb gpu. Why did u go cheap ass on cpu ? Or maybe: why did onlu upgrade gpu to 780ti and not cpu+mobo as well ?

I have i7+Gtx760 and i have no stuttering.

@sirtoby wrong section dude, cs:go operations are not tech related.. There are forum sections for gaming

[Opsilon]

Really love the maps, some are back from 1.6, the only thing that is a bit strange, they are all very big, and feel more like battlefield maps, but that's ok, i still love it, 3 more wins and distinguished master guardian for me .

 

I must say the last mission had better looking weapons imho!
