even worse: anyone remember when the deagle was R8 level OP?

or dynamic prices in CS:S. They added a beta client to it after that- would work wonders here. Push weapon changes to a beta client first..

Can we please just appreciate they've nerfed pistol moving accuracy?

I was so sick and tired of being out gunned by a tec9 when someone is WASDering in front of me and I can't fucking hit them, or even mimic their movement to make it a fair fight.

But this new pistol looks retarded, however I want a fade one right now...

I can only fathom that valve release the guns as too powerful first, so they get usage stats and know how "best" to balance them. Surely they have enough resources to get this more or less right the first time?

What fucking niche is this gun meant to be filling anyway? The deagle had an impossibly high skill ceiling and now they've released a 1 hit kill cannon which has a minor wind up for the shot? So rather than fix the deagle they'll just bury it with a new noob cannon?

Is it actually a 1-hit kill? I take it that's for headshots only? Though I did see on Reddit people weren't buying armour anymore. Surely it's not a 1-hit kill to the chest with armour? 

The gun looks cool. But I'd rather them just fix the deagle.

It's a one hit kill through armour to the stomach at least. All the video clips I've seen people are dying in one or left on <10hp

Also... TF2 is seriously leaking:

I think valve's counter strike team need a figurehead like icefrog for dota to push this game in the right direction. 3 days before a huge LAN, seriously, how the fuck did they think this would be ok?

115 damage. m1 is 1 hit kill anywhere. I think m2 is like 55-70 damage?

CS:GO needs a beta client so Valve can release these things there first to be balanced before releasing them to the general player base so they don't fuck up the game and LANs.

Valve shouldn't touch the game's balance at all, that shouldbe at the hand of the very best players of the game. They just can't get it right. Sure they made adadad less effective with pistols (pistols are still too good), but added an AWP for 850, nice thinking. 

 

And why won't they playtest their updates? ONE playtest on this patch and they would have realized how stupid it was. 

 

How can you keep making the same mistake over and over, I thought they learned their lesson after the AUG update. How many times can you make a mistake and not realize how stupid it is?

If anything I'm very happy for pistol moving accuracy nerf.

Revolver should only have the delayed left-click shot ability, so you have to utilize that properly. Right click spam should be removed, so that you are defenseless during that 1-2 second shot delay. And perfect accuracy while moving - big NO.

I'm a little bit confused about rifles, in their patch notes they make it sound like they made one-tapping and short bursts more reliable, but it is actually the opposite? Spraying is just less effective and one-tapping is still unreliable? Imo the problem is that first shots with rifles are still too innacurate, they should buff first shot accuracy.

New round and bomb times in MM are good, but forcing these into majors - not so sure.

Also there is a new smoke bug and there's a way to abuse revolver (a bug pretty much), but I expect a patch for this asap.
