CS has this way of turning even casual matches into high-stress warzones. And yeah, the vote kick system can be so unfair one small mistake and suddenly you're out, no questions asked.
I don’t blame you for avoiding Dota2 after that. If CS tilted you, Dota would’ve probably driven you straight...
CS and CS2 lobbies can be brutal. It's not just the trash talk either, it's how quickly things go from team chat to full-on meltdown. One bad round and suddenly you're the reason the team’s losing.
I've seen it in CoD and Battlefield too, but CS takes it to another level. Still love the game...
Few days back I registered for the promotion and received the STEAM redeem code within 5 days. For 2 MSI products I think it's a great value.
MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI Motherboard
MAG A850GL PCIE5
Redeemed the code as well a week ago in Steam JULY sale. It was a perfect time to grab the...

Are you referring to May 22, 2025 update?
It slightly feels way better now. The gunplay is tight, maps look sharper, and matches are more intense.
However I see fans are busy watching "ASUTIN 25" " https://www.counter-strike.net/newsentry/529849950216913271 Been watching a few Twitch streams...
Also, I forgot to mention that I already had two SSDs: Crucial P300 2 TB Samsung 2 TB Gen 4 and Samsung 2 TB Gen 3 and 2 TB HDDs too so for the same reason I went for board with more NVME SSD slots.
Thanks, for now I will stick to 2 x 16 GB and will surely upgrade in next few months when prices are less or in upcoming sale. 5070 TI is overly priced in here, although 9070 XT is also not close reasonable price yet.
I only paid few bucks more for AIO, good air cooler was almost near to it...
There’s not much difference on cost between 7800x 3d and 9800x3d and so does the performance. If the build is capable to handle power and you got money get 9800x3d otherwise 7800x 3d. You will have 100 FPS in most games at 4K with your 4090.
Hi, I need a PC build under 1.8 - 2 lakh (2000 USD) for heavy office work, gaming and video editing.
Purpose: Heavy office work, AI models, 4K video editing, photoshop, camera raw footage enhancements, and gaming on weekends. Apps: Docker (to run LLMs on local machine), Chrome, Sony Catalyst...
If you're just starting out, I'd say try Portal 2 i's super fun and teaches you how to think in games without being too hard. I mostly play CS, and would recommend it if you're into guns and shooting otherwise you can try Forza Horizon for car racing.
I have built this config for my friend who trains LLM models and requires a setup in mid range. Let me know if it require any change. Budget $1700 USD (1.5 Lacs INR).
