Meaning more recruitees due to lack of membership and password. That's a good thing.

I would think that some of the TG folk might not take kindly to this change after having been accustomed to playing with regular skins for such a long time. Just my 2 (well, 1 1/2) cents.

The new models have been called for many times in the past 6 months, and this is the first time anyone has raised objections. I'm not saying your objections are invalid, just pointing out that yours appears to be a minority opinion.

We could make the models only available on one server, but if the general consensus is that the models are wanted, it makes sense to have them on both servers.

Again, if anyone has suggestions for models that are less confusing, we're happy to review all suggestions, providing a download link is included.

Server 2 isn't getting ANY traffic at the moment as it's unavailable. I'll be making an announcement regarding server 2 in the very near future.

You shouldn't blam TK's because of a model. Proper communication would solve this problem. However, most tactical teams (SEALS, RANGERS, SWAT) wear the same uniform for this very reason. Maybe it would be wise to allow cts only one model.

**GhostintheShell** · 10-24-2005, 07:25 PM

The old CS had about 4 models for each team and there were no TK/PCS problems there.

One of the things that should stop TK's is to identify your target before you pull the trigger. Kepp an eye on your radar, and an ear on what your fellow players are communicating and you shouldn't have any problems.

If anything it might increase the team communication and PCS aspect of the game for us.

This was funny from a game earlier.

violentsquirrel : I bet theres gonna be alotta friendly fire problems with these new skins
RULE #3: You are REQUIRED to work as a team.
|TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} attacked a teammate
|TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} killed |TG| 9v with m4a1.
violentsquirrel : yeah
¤TGS¤Max_Death : yep
|TG|ڴabooya-{F.E.A.R} : o crap
violentsquirrel : there ya go

i am not against models, but i just thought this original transcript was funny.

**SkidMark** · 10-24-2005, 09:16 PM

I like all of the models, I think that they are beautiful, I have only one problem. One of the CTs, nt sure which one, but hes tan, seems to glow a very bright tan. I first noticed this on beirut, and could easily see them while they were sneaking around.

**Vulcan** · 10-24-2005, 09:50 PM

Ok guys UPDATE

I've noticed the models SUCK, bad. So i went through the pain staking process of recompiling models that have VERY good quality skins. Even a skin for the original that has been slightly changed. Anyway, wearing camo that fits your environment is very much apart of stategy and tactics and is welcomed by most. I know the first impression models weren't great but it was testing.

So i unvail the Terrorist Model Pack [IN TESTING], Skins by darkelfa and model by valve. I recompiled them together for the purpose of use with mani skins.

**L.B.** · 10-24-2005, 11:47 PM

I hope you keep the skins available. It was so boring to have the same ones for so long. I've had no problems tk'ing, but I can see it can be tricky.

There was a big difference though. All of the T models were "light" in general color, and all of the CT models were "dark" in general color. All of the new models are dark, except the old T model.

In Hostage rescue maps it matters very little, because for 90% of the time the enemy will always be ahead of you. But in bomb maps it's very hard, particularily once the bomb is planted, because you have people running all over the map and even good communication isn't going to save you, because under fire trying to communicate, deal with incoming fire, and dish out outgoing damage means you're brain is trying to do three things at once, and atleast one of them will be neglected.

This is when you must calm down, and realize that if you relay info to your team, you can get more help. I always comm while in fire fights in hopes to alert my team where I'll die.

If you're in a position to retreat, get assitance, and attack as a group( and once again get all enemies in front of you), yes. But I was reffering to the point where you're going to have the most TK's because of the new models. When you're in the middle of CQC firefights, with assistance coming in from range. The problem is that the base black on most of the models is that deep computer black, the kind that if it were on real clothing would stain your skin colors from the amount of dye. That deep computer black overpowers the other colors at range, so that all of the models looks basically the same the farther you get from them, and you can't easily differentiate the model differences (like the headgear).
