CPL: Dog Eat Dog

[Cuban Missile]

I too have been rooting for 3d, mainly because i viewed them as the only american team with a real shot at winning, even though i have dissed them in the past. I suspect the 3d bandwagon is about to get very large with their excellent showing in dallas. Man did anyone else watch them vs dop on aztec? It was amazing.

with a personal server (for both of them) fileshack = fileplanet

Drop your personal server and get Mercury because FileShack is better.

So it's 3D v GoL..



I've been checking out all the results, and it looks like GoL pretty much ownz Dust2, not winning as big on other maps.. It's gonna be close because GoL has to win twice, but since the final is on Dust2 GoL will win anyway I think.. Shape of the day and a bit of luck are also important (as in any sport)..



P.s. I think it's ridiculous that Sweden as nr. 1 CS country in the World still hasn't got a major CPL tournament..

[-:Nighthawk:-]

There's no way I can call who will win the final match between 3D and GoL. I like both teams about equally, and the only thing that makes me lean toward wanting 3D to win is simply so all the Europeans who constantly claim "Europe owns j00 at CS, America sux0rs" and such will have a damn good reason to finally shut their mouths. It'll be about time. :)

GoL have proven to be a top clan, they just have the tp that makes it, sadly Sk dont yet as they are such a new line-up and medion needs to get back to his OWNNINNGG state which we all love

haha european teams suck GO [3D] YOU BAD MOTHER FUCKERS KICK SOME EURO ASS!

European teams suck?

Then how come in top4 there are 3 european teams and only 1 american team and not vice versa? Europe had 6 teams participating, 3 of them are in top4 and the other 3 in top10. That's pretty well done i'd say

Horrible. Simply horrible.



The modelling is alright, but nothing to shout about. The arms don't grip the gun properly and the model overall suffers from being painfully average, standard stuff.



The skins are both also fairly average stuff, some slight misalignment here and there on both and both seem to have had a lot of the work done in MSPaint. There are certainly a lot of points where the skin looks simply blocky and basic. Having said that, on the wood version the wood has been done nicely, if a tad too orange-y. The one thing though that really messes up both skins is that they've been spanned over a large number of textures, and use random parts from older textures and it all just doesn't fit together very well. A model like this can usually be fitted onto two or three textures and then skinned from scratch surprisingly quickly (to the standard this model has been skinned anyway). In this case though, older skins have been fitted together with little or no editing to make them gel better, the new parts of the skin have been rushed it seems and look like they've been done by someone who's never skinned before, and it's spanned over multiple textures. In short, both skins are pretty bad, barely reaching average standards.



The animations are even worse then the skins are. They're jerky, and force the model into possible the worst origins I have ever seen. Not only is the model centred thanks to these animations, but it's titled and held quite low down too. The gun skips at the start of the reload and end of the draw (which by the way, is a horrible animation anyway), and the shoot animations are simply horrible. The gun has an odd and unrealistic bounce to it while the front arm's elbow jerks out horrible. When you shoot a gun, you don't jerk your elbow out n the opposite direction the gun is going in. You might retract your elbow a bit, but you don't jerk it off to the side like you're trying to do the funky chicken dance. On top of that, the hand (which never grips the gun properly) slides up and down the foregrip like it's jacking it off. Add that to the way the gun double-skips, and you've got some damn bad animations right there.



There is no reason to use this replacement. Horrible skins, horrible animations and origins, and a flawed model make for a ropey replacement. You'd be better off if you just kept the default.

I dont like it, skin is bland/fuzzy, model is unproportional, bad...



-3 for bad skin

-2 for unproportional model
