  1. This sub just repeats the same point every 2 minutes for a karma farm, don’t they?

    literaly no. valve also need to back minmodel cvar to hide agents, would be nice. btw im 99% sure they r prepared some nostalgic agents pack with GO models to sell them to you =) enjoy

    Unpopular opinion and I’m prepared to get downvoted into oblivion for it, but no. I don’t miss the map based agents. I like having the same model on each side of every map that I have to murder.

    I get why people miss them but I don’t share the same feeling.

    Separatists were my favourite! Would run default T agent just to play as them on inferno again.

    My comment from a recent post that was deleted:

    **Option 1.** Please bring back map-based factions for each map in the active-duty map pool (or all comp maps if you’re feeling Phrisk-y), and then disable custom agent skins for those maps. Allow the custom agents in all other game modes.

    Pros of option 1:

    * Map based factions helps with aesthetic consistency and identity of the game, as well as the “lore” of the maps. (WTF is a scuva diver agent doing in mirage.)
    * Map based factions can be designed with visibility in mind for each map. This allows map makers to get creative in their themes without having to think about agent visibility issues because they can design their own agents for that map, and whatever “lore” they want to create for that map.
    * Community has been [clearly in favor ](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/18oxk9a/all_i_want_for_christmas/)for map-based factions.
    * Custom agent skins have clearly left a bad taste in the mouth because of all the visibility and reaction time issues that are still present to this day to some degree. This has no place in a competitive game like CS.
    * Don’t have to completely nuke custom agents because they will be still alive for all other game modes.

    **Option 2** (*sigh* if you’re going to add more and more custom agent skins anyways): add whatever you want that makes you more money, but please for the love of god give the competitive community something like cl_minmodel_1.

    **Option 3.** Add more agents and patches and customizations and do not give cl_minmodel 1 because the community is a whiny bunch that will complain regardless of what you do so earn as much money as you can.

    Note: pro players do not use agent skins. So why can’t we turn them off?

  8. the idf model was horrible it was so much bigger than its hitbox

    i just miss them because i could at least SEE them in game. half the time in cs2 im just squinting my eyes at areas (especially ancient) where agent skins blend into the background..

  10. Hoonover

    Agree this added so much flavor to each map

  11. Yes, it’s ridiculous valve removed most of them. They should just let us choose whatever default agents we want. I miss the separatists, IDF and Anarchists the most because of how unique they were.

    Old school diner from new jersey still makes their coke the old fashioned way

    Let me re-write your question: Is there someone that doesn´t?

    Mum says that it is my turn to post this next week

  15. changing-my-job

    I especially miss the fact they had unique voice lines. I REALLY miss that.

  16. ZZHIFTY00

    yes i do miss them.

    They took away so much when the launched CS2, its a shame

  17. To some these may just be frivolous details but in my opinion the variety of voicelines and agent skins just added a huge amount of detail that gave each map it’s own sort of life, especially since they had accents tailored to the geographic location the map was set in. How is a player to know where Inferno is set without the Zapatista separatists?

  18. Kapa1337

    I’m wondering if there’s files of these agents in CS2 and if there’s some mod out there to make them usable in-game

  19. I miss them so much and their voice comms. The inferno T Side guys had some funny voice comms.

  20. Big time. Especially the separatists. Inferno is not inferno without seeing them.
