I’ve noticed something these past few days. When people aren’t picking out MASSIVE mistakes
in my videos, they’re talking about C4. Turns out you guys love this stuff! Some of
you, maybe TOO much. But whatever it is, it seems that C4 is the
cool thing right now. Let’s cover some stuff that’s made the rounds.
First off, I’ve been told by more than one person that they’ve beaten my defuse record
with their own perfect 0.000 second defuses. I will say that, technically, this isn’t
necessarily any better than my old record of 0.0 seconds. But things have changed since
I made that video, almost 2 and a half years ago! For starters, the T model has received
a graphical and animation…al overha…ul. But also, just last month they updated the
‘bomb logic’. This addressed the absolute cut-off point. Like, if a bomb is defused
but also detonates at the same time. Before, it was anybody’s guess what happened. And
now, post-update, the defuse triumphs. Who knows how many thousands of rounds CTs have
won thanks to this update? Well, I do since you’re all proudly spamming me with instances
of it happening to you! This is very nice of Valve, since we mere
mortals likely wouldn’t even have noticed when such a bug occurred. But somebody’s
always going to be disappointed- Bick Nosch was on the losing side following a successful
0.000 second defuse against his team. In CS:GO there’s always got to be a loser. Just happened
to be him this time. But Valve have ironed out another 0.000 second
bug. If people or bots join the server midround, then the end panel would sometimes proudly
announce that they defused the bomb with 0.000 seconds remaining, even if they hadn’t defused
it at all! This has now been fixed. So if you’ve gotten the 0.000 second notification
since the 22nd of May, wear it with honour. You’ve earned it.
Remember that trailer for CS:GO that looked super awesome? Zool (Maker of CS:CO) made
a video where he got the model from the game’s trailer from the SteamVR folders and ported
it into CS:GO. It’s easy to do- just place a file into your addons folder and play offline.
It’ll only show up when you’ve got it equipped, though- drop or plant it and it
returns to the original model again. I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t
update the game to feature this new, high-res model. Back in 2012 they likely had strict
poly limits they were sticking to. But this is 2018! By now we’ve all got PCs that can
easily run CS:GO. Right guys? RIGHT?! UnorthodoxViking found a nice little glitch.
He dropped the C4 on one end of the map, picked it up, bunny-hopped to the other, tossed it
on top of a crate and it teleports all the way back to the other side of the map again.
What’s going on? In the quest to stop the bomb from getting stuck somewhere that it
can’t be retrieved, Valve have a trigger that will return it to when it was last on
the floor. The maker of this map, FMPone, has put triggers in unreachable spots to make
his level unbreakable. This teleporting bomb feature was added because
people enjoyed chucking it off the side of vertigo too much. Normally it works pretty
well. But if you’re bunnyhopping, this doesn’t count as ‘being on the floor’, so if you’re
GOOD enough then in theory you could bunnyhop all the way across the map and the bomb will
still return to its original spot. Now I’m no Frankie, but I still got it working
across shorter distances. It’s definitely something that could be abused.
So all in all, it’s understandable WHY this feature exists- it’s the lesser of two evils.
But in UnorthodoxViking’s case it’s still really stupid, and could be used for high
IQ plays where the CT’s think the bomb’s heading to A before it’s magically planted
at B. Nice find. And lastly, Going AFK shows how to hide the
C4 under a bucket on mirage. This will hide the flashing, hence stopping anybody from
being able to find and defuse the bomb. That is, unless they have headphones or simply
wonder why a bucket’s sat in the middle of the bombsite. A for effort, at least.
Thanks for all your C4 suggestions, people. The guys who sent me their C4 alarm clock
project have an Indiegogo page for it and have also created a live-action advert, which
you can check out here. And here’s Zool’s high-res C4 video, which also contains instructions
on how to install it for yourself.
