Counter-Strike: Source Decoy Sprays

[HEYYYBURRRRR]

Are Decoy Sprays allowed? Because they disrupt other players gameplays. A lot of people complain about shooting a spray instead of the person and die from that. I find that completely unfair and stupid.

If it’s ever a huge issue I ask player’s to change their spray if it’s causing a disruption, but otherwise I see no harm in it, it’s not explicitly disallowed in any of our rules and typically isn’t an issue 99% of the time

Have you ever died to flicking and shooting a decoy spray? Its very hard to tell the difference. Coming from a former rank 8 of 700k players, Decoy sprays imo are exploits. I mean you might as well let the cts have no smoke and other exploits to help give them an advantage. EVEN THO all they do is guard a bomb site, hold a corner, and spam grenades at all the choke points.

I was just about to post about this as well LingLing. They are annoying for players of all levels.

I can understand this frustration if this was, let's say a competitive server. But we're talking about a 64 player 16k NO AWPS/AUTOS de_dust2 24/7 server. It's honestly the most casual that game can get. It's just a harmless spray and unless it's causing major server disruption it shouldn't be an issue. I've never seen a majority of the server actually care about something like that.

its because most of everyone in ego is a csgo player and admin on csgo. Very FEW admins play on the server everyday for css. So by that, everyone assumes its not an issue. I have players (mostly T players) (some ct) complain about shooting a decoy spray and dying from it, because they thought it was a person. Since csgo is all about jailbreak, and ttt, there really is no competitive feel towards the servers there. On CSS there is a major competitve feel to it. Strategies and comps break out all day on the server. The Servers on CSS are way different than a family fun Jailbreak or TTT. We have players that play for KDR and people who rush all the time. So that being said in mind, I Believe Decoy sprays should be considered an exploit and should not be allowed.

They have to be disallowed. It's 100% griefing/cheating IMO.

I have been getting reports all of the time for decoy sprays being an issue.

As HEYYYBURRRRR stated, Dust2 eGO server sometimes is competitive and even I have fell victim to decoy sprays when I was rushing toward a bomb site.

I concur with HEYYYBURRRRR , Cript , and N NoFearPub that decoy sprays should not be allowed.
