r_drawviewmodel and viewmodel_fov are both cheats in l4d2

rip

cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor is what changes the weapon fov in that game

fragmentation

still though, r_drawviewmodel is a cheat

all of these skins look like someone dipped the guns in melting (3 flavors in 1 tub) icecream and let it dry. vomit.

yes, still you can use cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor 180 so you dont have the viewmodel anyways

does it cause issues like it did in tf2

you will have the molotov fire in the middle of your screen, thats about it i think

working as intended

im surprised they ignored the powerjack considering it has 2 great upsides and 1 extremely negligible downside. also amusing how the LnL went from extremely overpowered to basically useless

I'll still run it in pubs and in HL it might still be nice for things like PL and A/D but I wouldn't bother in 6s

Very untrue. It's still vastly easier to hit them on people and with the extra building damage + splash off buildings would be enough to make me run it permanently on PL offense.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

it's basically the gru but without the lingering vulnerability, with less of a vulnerability penalty, and with health on kill

it should mark for death but without lingering, since pyro is faster and lingering would make it useless

Ya I know its sleeper OP

I abuse it tho so I'll miss it so much when its nerfed

wait a minute

inb4 the 3 month gun mettle campaign is their solution to coming up with initial matchmaking ranks

MATCHMAKING IN 3 MONTHS BOYS

Inspiring update.

- Weapon skins are a fantastic idea, hopefully this creates a closer tie between the market and matches. What Valve does with skins and comp in CSGO works as a huge book for the comp scene. Even without a direct intertwining, the skins will boost Saloon in huge ways (once people have a sense of how much they are worth and can part with them).

- The weapon pickup mechanic is awesome. Obviously uber charge wont stay in the dropped medigun. Ubers are tied to the medic. When you kill a medic with Uber, they explode with the electricity of Uber-Charge. The Uber is tied to the Medic's life (pretend it's stored in the backpack he wears) and won't be left in the gun. Otherwise all this does is expand the meta, and mixies things up in a very interesting way. I wonder if the dropped weapon is primary only or last active. Could be a strat for meds to "hide" kritz by switching to another weapon when they know they're dead if it drops last active weapon. Regardless, it will add another layer to the game, even if you can swap a weapon for more loaded weapon. As admirable mentioned, you know what guns you dropped, it won't be a surprise what they might have. Accounting for it only expands the meta, and will add some spice to the game.

- Stattrack: Cool. I always liked seeing the kills better than how stranges worked. A shame that stranges will be lesser stattrack items though. I wonder if the difference will remain that Stattrack only track frags, but stranges can have multiple counters applied to them. Even so, I imagine you'll be able to purchase a stattracker to put on a weapon sometime in the future and wonder how that will work with Strange items.

Stock sniper rifle with black skin. Medigun with black orange skin? Guess they wanted something else to take out because its confusing since they gave us snowplow back. Looking forward to trying out all the balance changes though.

yo justin what if tf2 gets mm before evolve

now imagine doing that and equipping the RL in mid air

I think the main reason for that is because it's easy to make them unique looking for everyone

don't worry there is always Evolve 2 to look forward too

hopefully future skins will look better.

Am I crazy or does this actually make some sense? I mean, matchmaking feels like it's probably not that close, but maybe after another campaign or two.

Yeah, I think most people are in agreement with this. There are some really great looking ones (imo all of the RLs other than the gaudy camo ones look incredible) but basically anything with a bright, neon looking color scheme or splotches of paint looks pretty shitty.

loadout changes on the fly could be extremely broken depending on what extent they take it to. If you run out of ammo or empty your clip in the middle of a fight can you instantly have full ammo by just switching loadouts with a bind? or if you're rocket/sticky jumping can you use a bind to switch to a rocket/sticky jumper, jumpshoot and then switch back to whatever weapon you want?

The new changes only mean you can pick up dropped weapons off the ground. You still have to go into spawn to change loadouts.

Also all the skins in the preview either look like your granny's wallpaper or an 80s discotheque

When exactly will this update roll in?

Does this mean the competitive relevance is down to the ability to leave insulting messages on your weapon for them to read? Please make it possible Valve.

Usually these updates roll out around 6 PM EST
