So, about those new player models.....

[THE LORD]

Do they give users a distinct advantage or disadvantage in game?

I've seen a few since it was released. My observation is that the CT skin blends into the environment better than default. The T skins stand out a little more than the default. Both look chunkier and beefier than the default.

And is there any method to disable the skins in game?

They give a huge advantage.

Like you said they're good at blending with an environment and enemy has hard time noticing you

I suppose you are talking about the military camo skins and not the FBI and the SAS?

Because these look almost like the default ones to me.

There's been a couple of times I've struggled to see the skins against certain maps, there's a beige/brown T skin that blends in pretty well with mirage and dust I think; and a CT green multicam skin that blends in well with some maps, can't think which maps off the top of my head. When I say struggle to see what I mean is it's taken a fraction of a second or a second longer or second look to see them, but that's more than enough time to give the opponent and advantage; especially if they're already starring right at you.

Valve are apparently aware of the situation and working on solutions

It is stupid because sometimes you are not sure if it is an enemy or a team mate.

I mean you'd of thought someone would of picked up on it during testing wouldn't you... I'm presuming it did go through some form of testing... that it was at least played by the devs a few times before release...

Just straight up buy the skins on the market, I bought 2 today just for lols, the skins really seem to wind some people up in game, either because of visibility issues or because "tHiS iSn'T fOrTnItE yUo KnOw".
