Counter Strike's Knives Are Pay To Win | Here's Why

Показать описание

In this video, we dive into a controversial topic within Counter-Strike — the impact of knife skins on gameplay. Recently, players have discovered that certain knives in CS2 cover less screen space than others, potentially giving players a competitive advantage. This raises questions about whether certain skins could be considered "pay-to-win."

We'll explore which knives are affected, how significant the difference in screen coverage is, and the implications for competitive gameplay. Additionally, we'll discuss the community's reactions to these findings and whether Valve, the game's developer, has responded to concerns about fairness.

Join us as we investigate this intriguing aspect of CS:GO and consider the broader implications for esports and game design.

☝🤓 erm actually you can change the amount of sceen space taken by you viewmodel in the console so this video is pointless

this is a psy op to boost falchion knife prices 💯

I get that this a joke video, but real talk the morale/comfort boost you get from having a knife/skin you like is more impactful than tiny technical differences such as these.

im sure this will really help players that have their crosshair at sky level at all times while holding out their knife

Back in my day everyone wondered why Snax used the falchion knife. It turned out its deploy animation was faster than the other knifes. People started buying falchion knives then Valve patched it so all knives take the same amount of time to pull out

I think we should also consider the "importance" of the pixels covered. Like, if a knife covers the most space, but all of this space is at the very bottom-right of the screen, it's still better than covering even a little bit of the centre of the screen

You CAN’T ignore the value of WHERE the space is being taken up on your screen too. Some knives like the falchion are taking up a lot of center screen real estate, while others like the karambit and daggers are more low and not centered.

Kid named viewmodel settings:

Also it's much more important to have a knife you like than to have one that covers 5 less pixels. Ages ago, I remember downloading some mod that made the Deagle into a revolver with a really long barrel, and I remember being able to hit more headshots with it because my subconscious treated it as a different weapon

Could also just change your viewmodel if you wanna see more :>

First YouTuber I've seen playing CS2 on Linux lol, it's amazing how much it has grown.

chrged

off topic but, thats a nice desktop you have, what linux distro do you use and which window manager? (if not de)

I kind of disagree. If you're a good player, your crosshair placement will be the biggest factor. Most of the time, you're centered on the enemy if you clear your corners right and do it with your weapon and not with your knive. I can't imagine a scenario where you put out your knife and your knife covers the enemy's position, potentially costing you the round. This was very interesting to know, and I appreciate your time and effort, but in my opinion, it's kind of pointless.

i'd say that karambit is better because it doesn't hide any middle screen which is where majority of the stuff you wanna see actually is if you have decent crosshair placement.
