4:43 this is probably the most frustrating thing (aside from valve not caring about the rampant cheaters atm) getting kicked for no reason should not be a thing, especially on last round and if you're top fragging it shouldn't even be an option. The nova is a great weapon too, great peak shot gun, It seems they buffed shotgun damage in the last few updates but its still a good weapon.
@@joshblank5446 Well maybe Valve should put back in place their anti cheat that used to show that lovely "VAC BAN" message on public matches before scrapping it and trying to add a whole new one to the game. I don't really have a huge solution other than valve could fix the hacker issue why should it come to down the players? I understand cheaters should be kicked but that is snake oil compared to the real problem cause they'll just get in another lobby and destroy it.
galil is a good weapon, but if he wants to make a content, i dont think that galil is interesting to watch, he would better make a video about xm1014, negev, pp19 ''bison'', r8 or even m249 XD
Nova is a great budget eco gun, especially on CT side. Just play some tight off angle and you should get a kill or two with it. With its low price one kill pretty much pays for itself. Headshots with it are so satisfying too.
The Nova is an absolutely brilliant pick in my opinion. Between it and the Mac-10, it can be very risk/reward oriented in the second round of a half and, if you are positioned well, even beneficial in bonus rounds if only to act as a one-and-done bait weapon at worst. At best, you have a surplus of cash to always be ready to drop teammates.
I watch a french duo that sometimes plays CS2. They're called Wankil studio. One is name Laink and the other Terracid. Well Terracid is often the leader/strategist of the team and he can be an odd ball. When things turn sour or when he's out of cash, he picks the nova to take them by surprise. It's effective and he's good at it. If I remember correctly it's a "Pomme d'amour" with a weed sticker on it and it has 800 or 900 kills
@@brunoflexin9148I don't see many people playing the sewed off shotgun. In CS:GO, it really sucked (based on stats) but now I don't know. The XM1014 was good and is still good, I see many people playing it. The nova is less popular with time and I almost never see people playing the mag-7 anymore.
@@totyo6873mag-7 is my baby. Basically all shotguns. I have 10k kills on mag-7, around 8k on Xm and 1k+ on nova. Choice of the day depends on how my aim is that day 😅
Speaking as someone who exclusively played wingman back in CS:GO and fell off a month or two into CS2 the Nova has always been a dangerous combo of short range killer, extremely good cost to effectiveness, and occasional sniper. In short, I love the thing.
Awesome, fun video! Nerd comment: I've felt like the Nova has been underrated since they gave the shotguns fixed spread patterns (back in December 2017, wow time flies), the Nova's is so tight horizontally and instead mostly vertical so it has high one-shot potential for a much greater range than the other shotguns. Since it still has a low fire rate I don't pick it as much anymore, but it's still nice to farm up economy when I'm feeling it.
I played Nova for more than 6 months, in short it's not bad. Long story, in my experiences shotguns in CS2 instantly kill if stand close enough and how you put your crosshair onto the enemy. Other things, you should take cover as much as possible, peek and shoot, Nova's good at dealing damage in long range comparing to the rest of the shotguns (doesn't mean it will 1 hit kill in medium, long range), and if there's more than two enemies make it into 1v1. Try your best to get close to them so you can get instant kill much easier. Also, do flashes more often (and I mean surprise flashes) it helps me a lot. You should try the square crosshair if you really are on the journey of playing shotguns only.
I once got stuck in the underground bunkers on DZ with a Nova, we encountered another team and my Team mate died, others stumbled in, and I ended up killing 5 in a short space to survive, My Team mate still mentions that fight ("Remember, the Nova is a good weapon")to this day! Fun times!
The leaf blower (xm) is so much fun to spam at a smoke for teammates to shoot through. I run every shotgun but the sawed off in cs2 and have been an xm enjoyer since 2019
Bruh your channel is way more entertraining to watch than dima or anomaly your underrated pls make more videos you kinda made my day w/ this video you earned a new subscriber!
When I started playing csgo fr i bought some cheapish skins, one nova included (btw same as yours with stattrak) and I didn’t used to give it much love. After I saw a friend of mine using it I decided to give it a shot. My nova now has almost 1.000 kills in its stattrak lol, nova is underrated af
I played a lot with nova, usually on inferno apartments, and maan nova on close-quarters is superb, but you have to be skilled and you only have 1 chance to headshot kill. So i can say its pretty difficulty weapon.
Nova is very underrate, for those who master this weapon they are such a monster to face. I remember got one tap from Mirage mid window by nova with AWP range. Or even overpass, and it's a very positive weapon when your teammate is throwing / left. You will have shroud bank. 😂
bruh, I did not think I was gonna see black in this video lol, used to watch him years ago. He's one of the few people that have unboxed a Souvenir Dragon Lore
I stopped playing csgo last year. My rank that time was SMFC. I installed cs2 after being coaxed by my friends to return to it and my rank's now silver2 😊
I play CS Before the CSGO. I also use shotguns in older cs. Really missing the old days of m870mcs/m3 pump action shotgun in older cs. Its very tricky but satisfying. Shotguns are well suited in closed quarters. I also find the shotguns suits better with counter terrorist because they hold sites and defend zone againts terrorist. if you dont check the corners they are annoying to go up against as they can easily one shot you.
would you consider doing this with scout? shockingly it plays similarly to nova just extended range as with the high movement speed if you treat it more like rifle than mini awp and just crosshair placement on heads or use off angles its very powerful
One thing you forgot to mention is NOVA gives you 900 per kill. This basically means it pays for itself after just one kill. A super great gun for holding tight angles. Very great for economy boosts
The nova is a gamble on ct side. If you get a kill that's $900 a d you have a rifle or smg possibly after. The problem it has its it does a million damage from suicide to mid doors but does no damage point blank. 98 in 1 would appear on your screen if they still had that.
Underrated aspect of the nova and shotguns in general is that compared to other guns you're always going to be doing damage. Getting 1 kill and then dying with the nova and then dying is different than doing so with a rifle as it's much more likely the guy that killed you is lit. I'm still Five-Seven pilled on ecos though. I get more kills with that than any other gun in the game
Nova is fun and the one shot kills with the dink sound are so satisfying. I've been using nova lately too after realising it's been sitting in my inventory for ages unused. I don't feel guilty about using the Nova like I do with the XM.
heyy bro, i would like to watch a video where you do the same, but in premier, so you can better see how good/bad is the weapon. For most people it will be booring to watch another video about Nova, so in next video you can try xm1014 (its OP, i have statrak, and i grinded 120 kills on first day, and its more fun than nova)
i feel like shotguns are very effective for the beginner ranks and sometimes for higher ranks as well. i personally love playing with shotguns, because i can just run at people and blow their heads off or sneak in some unexpected angle, like half wall on inferno for example, and obliterate the enemy team. nice video overall, would be interesting to see more 1-week gameplays with some uncommon guns. good luck bro)
(Before i watch the video) i like to play it, you need to play it like an awp. Also, put the bottom left of your crosshair on their head. I use a cross, so its the southwest quadrant. For autoshitty, north on their face. Swag7 is north east on their neck.
great video! but i dont like the use of AI interpolation. not just cause "all AI = bad" but it just... looks so weird. frame-by-frame going through the muzzle flash makes the nova's barrel eat itself btu fr tho great video and theres no way this isnt skripe on an alt
ye, but all of this is on low game lvl like slivers and 10k premier points. I also like playing with a shotgun, but at 20k+ premier point, if you swing and miss, you're usually dead. It doesn't look like this movie
I swear with pro players in cs2 its more than just skill. Theres something else to it too. Every kill you get the opposite player is fumbling hard, freaking out, spraying you and missing every shot. In games i play at lower ranks than you people dont fumble that hard ever. Ever. No ones freaking out and letting you run up on them like that.
My friend tells me second round "I'ma buy awp". I see him holding this:

It's legit a scout you can 3 shot someone from top mirage

He sounds kinda cold... Very cool=pretty chill=kinda cold 😬😬
i love that in cs 2 when you shoot with nova it lets out a smoke cloud like a dragon, i feel like a goddamn musketeer using it

@@Thatlowdsg I totally agree. But at this point, kicking is the only option we have.
I thought you can't get kicked anymore when playing alone. Or is this just for premier mode?
Oh, nova has surprised me, its such a good weapon. Try galil next, its actually underrated a lot, but a very good weapon
galil is a good weapon, but if he wants to make a content, i dont think that galil is interesting to watch, he would better make a video about xm1014, negev, pp19 ''bison'', r8 or even m249 XD
The galil is so underrated, 2 tap headshot like m4, faster fire rate, and 15 more bullets than A1-S and 5 more than A4
@@thatsaxythis is why I swap out my m4a1 for a galil on CT
galil is the cheaper m4 at least it feels like that
galil at $1800 is insane considering it's essentially a less accurate M4A4.

Nova is the gun where it blasts people or takes way too many shots to kill. Feels inconsistent
Gambling AWP basically
You get what you paid for, you’re not going to get a dream machine with just 1K
Any shots I make with AWP are basically gambling, so Nova is an improvement@@GuyThatCREATESRandomStuff
@@sandvich3943You can get a dream machine for 1.6k 😏
The problem with the shotguns is that they are so random. One shot, you can hit 7 pellets, and the next, you can hit like 2

Man this is awesome :DDD i tought it would be some shitty bad edited video but this is some 1mil subs level editing❤
I watched both ur cs vids, both were good, waiting for more
NOVA is such RNG that either you can 1 shot that AWP peeker across the map or you miss everything and do 22 in 1 shot at point blank range.
Any shotty can blast fat holes in smokes but yea very useful. Also aug and ssg make bigger holes too
the nova has been so good lately since shotguns got fixed patterns, now the nova has no more bipolar buckshot and is a consistent headshotter

Nova got a spot in my heart right next to my ssg.
im notoriously bad at cs when i play with my friends but when i buy nova i am 100% going to get at least 2 kills, it does so much damage
been using nova and revolver in premier and literally dropping 25 in 16k elo pretty regularly lol
One game I got 13000k from kills bc the nova gives you 900$ per kill plus it’s surprisingly good mid range
I am nova user with statrak 800 now.
Got enemy who angry with me using nova a lot , and got team who angry with me using nova a lot. Hahaha
