oh I agree completely, it's just that some cosmetic options are simply taking it way too far IMO. Lime green top hats and pink bunny ears are just incredibly ugly (paint in general are just bad), not to mention the amount of promo items and unusual hats that make the game look even weirder than before, it really doesn't do the game justice, many of my friends are a bit confused when I introduce them to this game and I mention that hats are more valuable than weapons...why should they be? you can kill people better with a new gun than with some stupid looking hat.Ihmhi wrote:I might be in the minority here, but I prefer the current version over vanilla. Vanilla bored me. I like the variety of options available to you now, not just in gameplay but to stand out a bit from the other 3 Demos or Soldiers on your team.
I'm all for the unlockable sidegrades, but some are still too overpowered (equalizer, Fists of Steel, etc). The problem to me is that Valve is attempting to balance classes by giving them better unlocks, rather than tweaking their core gameplay (see: degreaser) and when these weapons become necessary in order to play a class with some form of consistency, it puts new players at a disadvantage, as they have to wait for the specific weapon to drop.
