Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

    I am actually surprised people still fall for these all caps, Tv salesman/telephone gambling type videos. It's not the 80s or the 90s anymore, almost everyone should know this is shady af....

    End of the gambling soon?

    Glove skins are cool, as are knife skins, but honestly? Valve are going way too hard on the rarity of these things. It appears the gloves are as rare as knives?! And they also have wear values?!?! I mean come on. Most people won't have one of these.

    That's what makes everyone pay silly prices for them and probably nets Valve a bit more money than if they were all worth 3p. :P

    I do like the look of them but doubt I'll ever have any unless the price seriously drops.

    At least they fixed some stuff on D2 and Train. But really, i wonder when they will revisit all the clipping of reserve maps, etc. as well. we need a few big updates focussed on fixing all the small little details that improve the overall quality of the game.

    Other than that, glove skins are far better than limited use paid sprays.

    You're forgetting the overall imbalance that a lot of the reserve maps suffer from. I'd rather like them to be replaced by some proper balanced maps from the workshop if they don't get fixing.

    No matter what valve do there's always going to be a subset of the community upset. 'Counterstrike' is too big to keep everyone happy now.

    lol :P

    Not for that reason ;)

    Yeah I realize the finanical reasoning, I just think it's bullshit. They make their stuff too inaccessible. I say this as someone who has a high tier knife.

    @SquadIt's a good way of keeping the game fresh for sure. I'm sure many mappers wouldn't mind for their maps to be added for free after a successful operation.

    I kinda feel the game's overall structure (xp, casual, other modes, inventory, sprays etc) should be reviewed just now. There's been a lot added to the game that's kinda scattershot and neglected. They should spend the time making what they have as robust as possible before adding more STUFF.

    -The UI is goddamn terrible

    - account requirements for new players stumble over each other making the game a chore to get into

    - demo playbacks. Don't need to say more :P

    - R8. Too powerful, now a joke gun.

    I'll shut up now I've given any game dev reading this an aneurysm.

    There was a post on reddit a month ago that advocated a change in the mappools:

    If they could do this and just focus on fixing and balancing their own maps and modes for a year, I would be very happy. It's not even that hard to just clip all the stairs in the Reserve Duty maps, for example. Or just hiring one or two Mapcorians for a limited time to try and get a more balanced versions of their neglected maps.. or updating the textures similar to what FMPOne did with Cache.

    The way I see it, Overwatch is mainly such a huge competition for CS despite its mechnical difference because Blizzard's communication and update policies seem a lot better to huge amounts of people. And sadly, Valve has shown with its recent updates for TF2 that they just cannot compete right now. This community has lots of talented mapmakers, people very dedicated to weapon balancing (SlothSquadron), people who spend months on researching crazy small details of the game like 3kliksphilipps - if Valve would utilize these community ressources more the game could be a lot better than it already is. The only thing holding them back from fixing a lot of the rather easy stuff is honestly their company-intern approach.
