why does austin use 4:3?

I forced myself to play on native resolution and it took me like 4 days to get use to it.

depends if you can run 1920 by 1080 at the moment

I switched to 1920x810 (black bars) and have more FOV

I've been playing CS for 16 years and I made the switch from 1080p to 1024x768 and I don't think I'll go back any time soon.

4:3 stretched. everything you need to look at is bigger. the apps pixel gap is actually big enough to see in 4:3

4:3 is superior. Aiming becomes so much easier and movement is more precise. Only downside is skins looks wonky.

nah bro 1:1 res 1440x1440 all the way

4:3 is best res models are more bigger on strech so they are easier to shoot

I started using 4:3 2 years after I was introduced to csgo (which was my first-ever online fps) and I gotta say, you don't necessarily need the FOV that 16:9 gives you, since maps are so small and corridor-like, you're better off focusing on the center of your screen. And I also pretty much never get killed because of it. Even in dangerzone mode (which I'm a huge fan of) aspect ratio doesn't really matter, as long as you stay mobile and pay attention to your surroundings.

Guys, I don't care what you say, if you prefer 16:9 over 4:3 you are either completely new to the game or very bad at the game.

Agreed. Most pros rock it bc thats what they're used to

Heads are bigger on 4:3 stretched so even though I have a good PC I still play stretched

21:9 and 32:9 monitor owners be chilling.

1280x960 4:3

started with native res but switched to 4:3 like in 2 days. Tried to switch back and its freaking IMPOSSIBLE !
I dont know if thats saying something but lol i got a belief that 4:3 is better from just how ez it is to pickup and how difficult it is to go back to native

Most people (especially newer players) use 4:3 because they are NPCs and just copy what the other people are doing.

why would it benefit you in the long run?

I'm wondering more about why Austin is letting his mod ban ppl for pretty much nothing and then never check the reasons himself

If i had know of 'm_yaw 0.0165' sooner i would play 4:3 stretched a lot sooner. I feel like all the years i played native i wasted my time. You are slightly 'zoomed' in, so it's easier to see and focus on the targets. Also the faster movement of the players feels better for this game and fits more with the "time to kill". All you are losing is fov and graphics. I don't miss the extra fov and it's benefits are negligible if you knonw how to play, and the graphics i can live without.

i have a question i use 4:3 1280x962 but my quality of the game is good with everything in low.. why your game is different? seems like your grafics are ultra low.. i want that!

but why would you be better off on native res ?

Personally I play 5:4 1280*1024 because I'm on a 27" 1080p monitor and any other resolution would require the use of binoculars to spot long range enemies for me 😂

What server is this?

Me and my homies all hate native

Anyone know if there is a way to play on lower res (my PC has frame drops randomly) and not have the PC spaz out switching back to higher res when I alt tab. I even have 2 monitors, but it seems like when I click on the second monitor it still makes the one with the game freak out

Finally a logical argument.

I use 4:3 black bars hehe

Honestly im tired of seeing teammates use 4:3 and not seeing enemies on the sides of their screen.

4:3 makes player models much wider and to me that's the big advantage

i play cs at 2k at 600fps xD i can not stand pixels sorry.

what I don't get: yeah sure, you get used to 4:3 stretched, thats all good. but when your monitor has a better resolution and your PC is capable to push the fps, why wouldnt you just use the native equivalent of 4:3? say you play on 2560x1440 monitor like many people do nowadays, why not go for 1920x1440 and stretch it? you're just leaving behind so much detail when using for example 1280x960 instead. assuming your PC can easily push over 300-400fps, especially with modern GPUs higher res don't impact fps a lot anyways.

I can relate man, I play on the shitiest laptop possible, i do 4:3 stretched at 800x600. Gotta get them fps

4 3 IS the best becasue its help me focus more on my crosshair and bigger enemy =easier to hit

Woman moment ☕️ got banned in chat for saying that cause the woman talked while recording 😂 ☕️☕️

now what res if someone have 2k or 4k monitor haha

for most of us it was the fps that started it.

I play at 4k

I play 4:3 because of my bad vision. It makes models look a bit bigger so I can see them more clearly.

I started with 4:3 because I had a small mousepad and didnt want to play high sens

i need your crosshair

Why is playing native better? Im used to stretch bc most pros run it and i liked how it stretched the character models so it makes them bigger and easier to hit (placebo i know)

While I will say 4:3 is better on all maps (Besides Anubis)
There is only 1 con to it, when some peeks a corner they will be thicker, but they will be appearing to move at mach Jesus.

In cs2 4 by 3 gives you so much more fps than playing native

biggest cap and L take 4:3 is just to op u legit have to aim less cm

I've got used to native and there's rare moments when I'm spectating someone that's clearly using 4:3 that misses some spot in the edges of the screen then got easily killed by that. But when I started playing CS in 1999 I've used to play on 320x240 and I know how it feels when I upgraded to 640x480, I've kept using that even when a lot of people were already using 1024x768 or even years later the 1280x720.

so why did you not play on 16:9 lowered resolution if pc specs were problem isntead of 4:3?
