whyd u show steam market keys, some crazy mf is gonna spend $15 on a key

[@soju69jinro]

In CS, the maps feel more intuitive, like you look at a section, and you go like "oh.. yeah, that makes sense." You play Valorant, you look at a section, and you're confused, it doesn't make sense. Maps in CS feels natural, and obvious, and without any map knowledge you get the gist of map design. In Valorant, there is no map design.

[@Boom_Cats]

6:55. Do not, I repeat, do not buy keys off of the Steam market, they are almost always massively overpriced, just buy the keys in-game when you go to open your case

[@iagree4686]

reason is because keys bought after like 2019 were not tradable and sellable so the ones on the steam market are kinda rare collector items.

[@lankasri1850]

I want to say the same thing the footage there is somehow misunderstanding, every key is worth the same amount of money when(2.49USD) you buy it from Steam

[@fakekat]

​@@kshitijsharma6289no that's wrong, you can buy the key for any case in game. It's as the first commenter said, a while ago valve changed keys to make them non-tradeable and non-sellable, so the only ones on the market are the keys that existed before that update.

cs armor does NOT equal to valorant. Valorant is basically extra health, but in CS, it actually prevent you from aim punch which is why you almost always prioritize armor with shittier guns instead of like no armor with a VANDAL(ak)

[@jariszulqarnain4241]

the helmets specifically reduces aim punch, kevlar reduces weapon damage. u still get hella aim punch if u just buy kevlar

[@chunko.harvester]

@@jariszulqarnain4241 You only get aim punched if you get headshotted without helmet, kevlar prevents aim punch on bodyshots

[@SPECTER0459]

And in CS kevlar always gives the same amount of damage reduction, kevlar + helmet only adds headshot damage reduction. Light shields to just vest is not a good comparison, also if you're CT a lot of the time you don't want to have a helmet because AK one shot headshots anyway, so you don't really need the "heavy shields" equivalent of kevlar + helmet. This video is misleading in a few ways

I love the production value on the CS2 vids. I've been trying to teach my friends how to default CT and T utility on buy rounds. I think it'd be a great topic to cover!

[@Arani.]

Must be good to have friends bruh playing solo in cs2 is kinda like hell for valo players tbh. I learnt my utils but can't do much if there are no friends or teammates that are willing to work with me or trust me cuz I'm noob 😭

[@asdfomfglol]

i hate utility on CS cause u ahve to learn lineups while as in Val I haven't learned a single lineup even tho many players do so, you don't really need to.

[@yakubbb]

The glock is more akin to the classic. The P2000 is practically the same as the USPS just with more ammo and no silencer. CT side has the default gun advantage (starting with ghost level pistols over the T side classic)

[@yakubbb]

The reason a majority of the playerbase opts to use the USPS is because it simply looks and sounds cooler, when the p2000 is arguably probably better for newer players due to the higher ammo capacity

[@CreepyCat2001]

P2000 deal more damage + more ammo

[@snorQz]

​@@yakubbbUSP is silent u can kill people without them knowing from where, but u have limited ammo (36 rounds), with P2000 u have more bullets, deals more damage and I believe it's easier to gun and run with it. The Glock was kinda ass in CSGO but in CS2 it feels more precise while running

[@vanhanliiton7232]

Usp is More accurate than p2000 btw

[@yakubbb]

@@vanhanliiton7232 the accuracy difference is pretty negligible

[@heyzeus7007]

This helped a lot but one thing that isn’t 100% right is that you don’t need to buy a key off of the secondary market at a stupid high price. You can buy a case and when you go to unlock it, the green button says unlock for 2.49 you click it you can buy a key for the 2.49 instead of whatever other people are selling it for on steam. Then when you go back the green button now says unlock container or something like that

[@heyzeus7007]

I opened 2 prisma 2 cases the other day idk if it’s different for older cases but just my experience. Please correct me if I’m wrong

[@sycual]

you can get cases in the market or from weekly drops. you can get a key for whatever case you have by clicking the green buy button, evey key in the game is the same price. if you see a key on the market, dont even bother buying it. its an old key, it does the same but you can trade them and they're overpriced

[@Nick-ij5nt]

Inferno is harder to learn than Mirage and Dust 2 but becomes easier once you know what you're doing. Mirage is just all aim no brain and is the best map to start on for noobs. The hardest map by far is Nuke, it has the highest skill ceiling and most people don't know how to play it, you need very tight communication and rotations.

[@Krimzi]

Amazing video, though a somewhat missed opportunity with strafing between the two! CS you definitely need to tap the opposite movement key to stop your momentum and have accuracy.

To equate the m4a1s to the phantom is a bit lazy imo. I would say the phantom is in between the a1s and the a4 as the firerate and magazine capacity of the phantom is more similar to the a4 but the fact that the weapon is silenced and doesn't show gun tracers is similar to the a1s so it's a mix of both

[@henonicks]

A stinger is basically the same as the mp9 with its high fire rate and low damage

[@edgarallan6252]

p2000 is equal to usp in every aspect except how many clips of bullets you get with each. So your comparison of classic and ghost makes no sense when you consider ghost 1 taps people while classic doesnt.

[@ayofzi8895]

val is easier

[@ttl3366]

Except it’s not? Valorant has bigger hitboxes, slower movement, faster accuracy recovery, random spray patterns and there is no momentum when moving so when you stop you're 100% accurate unlike in CS where you have to counter strafe and think a lot more about positioning. Valorant was designed to be the more casual and easier alternative to cs. Valorant literally has red outlines around your enemies in case you’re too dumb to tell who your opponents are lol.

[@Karma-fo8or]

@@ttl3366 ain't no way u just said ''too dumb to know who your opponents are" when both teams can have the same agents lmao

[@ttl3366]

@@Karma-fo8or You should be able to tell with just your team's positioning and that of your enemies. In low level games in CS accidental team damage still happens despite having different agents on each team because they don’t even know where their teammates are. But intuition and awareness isn’t exactly abundant in the brain of a valorant player so maybe you do need red/yellow outlines.

[@theexxemos]

I hate to criticise, but i think there were so many semi-false statements about cs and even in general… Mirage Inferno as beginner friendly maps Both on which good util is key.. then you say good util defines a good player.. The whole weapons category is a joke.. once you say m4a1-s is a phantom and the a4 more like a vandal for ct (-1shot headshot).. then you say a vandal costs $2900 on ct side while showing the a1-s.. also I’d say the m4a4 is a non silenced phantom, it’d just be more accurate instead of insisting on valorant names.. bc one of the ak/vandal’s key perks is the oneshot headshot.. Let’s not talk about the usp ghost p2k classic thing.. Lets not even mention how indepth movement was covered(in and out of gunfight).. Stickers=gun buddies?? You can unequip gun buddies and interchange them.. unlike stickers.. once you scrape even a part of a sticker it’s permanently deleted that part of that one sticker which also devalues the stickervalue when applied ofc (bc who wants a scraped sticker (unless rare scrape patterns on certain stickers..)) The pricing of the karambit to throw a big number in while it’s literally one of a kind and the rarest thing yet to be unboxed/created.. not talking about patterns.. Even if all of this is a humoristic take.. the vid contradicts itself at some points.. I hope you better those vids.. for so many subs, weak video imho…

Also the Phantom is more akin to an AUG with a suppressor, since Phantom can onetap at only close range just like AUG

[@brendanwang280]

Bad video, Bro didn’t explain all of these following basic topics: Difference in armor systems Difference in bomb defusal system (such as explaining what the Kit is, and how there’s not halfing the bomb” Difference in Spawn systems, valorant has setup time for defenders to get on site first, CS does not, therefore spawn positions are important Difference in strafing while using util, moving sideways while throwing out util completely misses the mark in CS compared to valorant Difference in Ranking system and how Premier works Difference in casual mode, and how Cs doesn’t have a casual mode. Difference in Util retention, when you die in valorant you keep your util, in CS you lose everything when you die and you drop your most expensive one and can be picked up. Difference in information given during game, CS doesn’t tell you the damage dealt until the end of the round, valorant tells you as soon as you die.
