You must fight Lucio for that spot . <| sep |> What interview is this from ? <| sep |>. maybe i should go out and try watching it on the big screen for once <| sep |> Oh I reminded myself why I had this rant and don ' t drink coffee on the go . It ' s because THE LIDS ARE FUCKING SHITE . <| sep |> So . I am new to CSGO . Yes . I have less then 120 hours . When I first played rank , I got highest tear Silver . idk what that is . Masters ? So after a few games with trolls , I ended up silver 3 , and im now like . silver 4 . I main the XM 1014 , 2 flashes , a incenderary and a smoke . Both sides . This information is just to give you guys a general understanding of my experience . So , now here is my actual question . It is about the sound in game . My Headset is a Logitech G 930 . It is super nice and comfy , and blocks out a lot of noise . The microphone is noise canceling yada yada yada . If playing on Dust II and I am in palace upper tunnels I can hear a player running on catwalk . Or if I am on catwalk , I can hear the small little beeping of someone planting a bomb on B site . I can hear the smallest things sometimes . It happens in other games , and it happens in CSGO . In game , A lot of people when playing with me ask Why you looking at the ground . Why don ' t you have your shotgun at head level . My answer is always , I am listening . For some odd reason , I hear the enemy through walls better , if my Characters ear , is facing the wall in question . So if they are in upper tunnels , and I am outside on B site , I hear better if I am parallel to the wall , then looking at the opening . I have been told , it doesnt work in this game . This game doesn ' t have directional sound systems ? good sound systems . It is very simple and plain . I mean , its a fair argument , but no one has flat out told me why or given me evidence . I know there are games where if an enemy shoots , and you turn around , the sound changes between headphone speakers . In some games , it doesn ' t . If it is shot on your left side , and you turn , it stays on the left because it registered there . My question is . are my listening methods . plausible ? In real life , if you are on one side of a wall , and you put your ear to it , you can hear things on the other side better . I know CSGO isn ' t real life , but It seems to be my only reasoning to this . Suppose this isn ' t true and you think I am bullshitting though . Is there an article about the sound system in CSGO that explains it ? And why is it that I can do it ? Or is it that maybe I have fooled myself into thinking its true because It feels like other games and I just go with it ? I would love some input on this discussion , please .
