The best knife ever BUT



the shield models STILL have old, cs 1.6 arms and not CZ arms. So in the words of seinfeld, "What's up with that?!"

[Cool Mo D]

I often try to find a nice bright area to do an in-game shot in, to show off that detail, but sometimes it's nice to see how a weapon will look when it's not lit up like a Christmas tree. I don't know about you, but in most of the maps I play, I'm in less than full light most of the time, so it's nice to see what a model is going to look like when I'm playing with it, not just what it looks like in the brightest spot on the map.



Anyway, because people seem intent on bringing this up over and over again, I'll repeat myself. The Skin of the Day typically focuses on excellent, realistic replacements. With these batch updates, however, we get to fill in the holes in our archives and make the selection more diverse for a wider audience.



Sure, I may not like using a scoped Desert Eagle for a Scout, but I certainly know others that do! That's what this is all about... the things that aren't necessarily killer enough to spend a whole day focusing on, but still bring something unique and valuable to the overall selection of models. Even if it's in a less than perfect package.



That reminds me... I should go find that scoped pistol... we don't have that yet. :P

If you want to take a screen shot in a good lit up area, go straight to fy_iceworld.
