There's a pretty big youtuber (776k subs) who does a bunch of gaming videos and other kinds of stuff. One of the series he does is game remakes for various platforms - either official or fan-made.
If the guy can't figure why scoping is better, there's a problem with him. He doesn't take a second to think and just dismisses it as pointless.
I guess we got to see the perspective of how an old player would remember the game.
Anyway, this guy just tried the game.. But not learn it. He could have a look at the buy menu.. there anything explained.. But.. heh, i don't think he will back to this.
@ xsiN: And that's exactly what I said. What drugs are you on, mate? You're excused.
@ Mora: Nothing wrong with trying and NOT learning. It's just the fact that he assumed a game would have a useless mechanic implemented. Which is very unlikely for any game at all.
It's actually a game design flaw and definitely not his fault that he calls the scope pointless. There is simply no easy way to see/learn that scoping actually increases your damage. I assume that many players think the very same way as he does when they try scoping.
Also this is about CS2D so no reason to put it to off-topic. Moved.
@ Rainoth: I dislike the fact that you suggest that I am on drugs, please watch your posts before you say stuff like that, thank you. I just said that the youtuber is just ONE old guy so you cannot calculate if ALL the old guys think the same as that youtuber does.
I agree with that guy. Even if scope is not pointless, it is really absurd. There should be a posibbility to see far while we're scoping instead of increasing damage. It is just too ordinary. Sometimes I even see that actually has disadvantages in some cases.
btw someone needs to host some good ol' construction server with ctf_cs2dfortress real quick, we need something to get the new players hooked.
but first, popular cancer servers like iran town need to disappear for a couple of days, just think of a new player joining iran town not knowing that you can get a shit ton of weapons and fucking change your hp to 120 using f2 menu, eventually he'll rq and never come back..
@ DC: It may be a design flaw but him calling it pointless is a logic flaw cause he's uninformed.
For example if I played Carnage Contest and said the Bazooka was pointless because it does not shoot in the direction I aim it and I had no understanding of a game mechanic like wind (the same way he had no understanding of scope game mechanic), it would be an uninformed opinion.
One does not go to every next game and call out stuff as pointless just because they don't know yet why that stuff isn't pointless
Have to agree, scope in CS2D is just one of those things you find out as time goes and has no indication that it changes something.
@ Gaios: What exactly do they (and you) mean by skins? You can download skins and use them, right? Or do they mean that you can't enter a server and all your weapons are re-skinned into the ones set on server? Please explain because I don't understand
@ xsiN: I dislike the fact that you try to deny it and then say the exact same thing.
I suppose if not that, maybe you're sleep deprived or something. I'm trying to find an excuse for you ,bro, instead of just plain saying that you you're dumb/saying bs/ w/e negative things you can think of.
FYI, drugs are okay if you don't consume too much or sth too dangerous. You ever drunk coffee/alcoholic drinks? Those things affect behavior (Don't reply to this part or we'll get off-topic, thx).
Now, I'm finally going to be the captain obvious for you and save the day. Please quote me the part where I used a plural form of players. After all, you should find it if I was talking about ALL (you really need caps-lock for this?) old players instead of this ONE guy, right?
@ Rainoth: well saying " we got to see the perspective of how an old player would remember the game" kinda implies that all old players would remember it this way, idk this is how i interpreted it i could be wrong
[...] do they mean that you can't enter a server and all your weapons are re-skinned into the ones set on server? Please explain because I don't understand
Yes! We need UnrealSoftware launcher like steam to everybody has his skins in account and not in-game.
Skins in CS2D would be pointless, it's not like they could even be seen. Also, if somebody uses custom skins they will override the US.de skins, unless DC removes the possibility of custom skins altogether.
