Agree.

What is your opinion about this case?

The ctf-skins that are used in cw:s are bright enough, I dont really think you get that much advantage with glowskins. Sure it is cheating but not the worst kind...

Anything that changes the gameplay is a cheat, so yes, agree.

I myself think that the red and blue ctf skins that are used in cws are too bright too. It kinda disrupts the feeling of playing a dark map such as urban2 when all of the players shine like the sun itself. In my opinion, the ctf skins ARE glowskins. But I know that I'm quite alone on that thought, so I'll just have to settle with the rest and play with models clothed like if they were stars of Miami Vice.

The CTF skins and the nut and cyrus skins are as bad as glow skins.

People that agree with me, cool!

I thought cw's were alot better here in scandinavia while we were still using terror and resdog models. just using the norse models would be ok? They were standard cw/cup models back in the days.

i so hate those norse and terror skins. they are really the worst skins. ctf skins are ok and cyrus / nut as well though.

norse skins was used before norweigans started to modify them.

glowskins wasnt even a cheat in norway until 2001 or something.

Agree with Juan 8)

Those norse skins are really too dark, I look in monitor like I need glasses ffs. :shock:

Agreed Vortex and Jazzie.

I don't like that everyone wants to play with the CTF skins. It's like saying "we want to play with glowskins". I thought that it was a part of the gameplay that it should be hard to spot people. I mean, there's no use for the silencer anymore :(

And I don't like the male model. The SAS model is so much better.

Just remember both teams see these 'glowskins' so it's hardly unfair. The norse skins are fine, the resdogs and terror skins are fine, and I can play with the CTF and nut/cyrus skins so bleh... I don't really care, as long as the game is fair :)

I am not against either norse skins or ctf skins. But I would like more realistic skins to put that extra feeling in the game. There are a couple of good skins, but they are hardly ever used and never used in cw's.



i would like to see terror/swatsnipe vs terror/urbanterr



if people will keep using the ctf skins in cw, atleast change to the terror model (terror/ctf_b vs terror/ctf_r).

I think its more fun to shoot enemies than try to find them from my screen, thats why I like playing with ctf, and even more with nut and siris skins.

If you don't see the skins, you should use irvision, that's what it's for. I actually think that more items would be used too if the skins/models would be changed. irvision, slippers and silencer is almost pointless when your shirt is made of uranium.
