Reason for adding new weapons in CS2

[GReedyKaan]

More options
More skins
To keep the game fresh
(That has to be done properly and it shouldn't create negative impact to game's future)
Suggested weapons: One handed version of Beretta, AMT AutoMag, Kriss Vector, SPAS-12, DP-12, M1911, MPT-76, IMI Uzi, Howa Type 20, M16, SA80, AK-74, PP-19-01 Vityaz, PP-90, OTs-14 Groza, Mk 14 EBR, Scorpion EVO 3 A1, FMG-9...

Reasons not to add new weapons: Balance.

When you have too many weapons you end up with games like CoD/BF where you have a TON of useless guns and others will be just leagues above all the others. It'll be a never ending game of balancing. With what little they did add to the game throughout the years they still messed up with. (R8)

This game is known for it's balance and competitive nature. It doesn't need a ton of new guns to remain one of the top games on steam.. Simplicity is key.

Yeah. It doesn't matter at all in a coop game or even so much in a casual twitch shooter like CoD.

But it's horrible in competitive games like Siege, where they have 50 operators with different weapons and every month for the last 8 years they've been nerfing and buffing them.

А можно доступ к кс 2?

I mean let weapons share same data like XM1014 = SPAS-12 but different 3d model, or Uzi shares same data with mac10.

there is no balance with the existing guns. You only see a sawed off or m249 when someone is trolling

as someone who has played this series since it was on WON prior to steam, let me be real with you : Its NEVER been balanced. AK. M4. AWP (After its addition). repeat.

Yeah for higher price? The economy is the thing that equals these things out. Of course the more expensive tier 3+ guns are going to be better. That doesn't mean the game isn't balanced. CS is one of the more balanced competitive games out there.

Go play games like BF and CoD and see how balance in those games work. Getting one shot snipers as a primary load out. Broken perks, weapon attachments, busted aim assists, etc.

I can't agree with tier 3+ guns are better. I can kill people with cheap smgs or pistols. After that they call me cheater, hacker etc. Every gun have its own upsides/downside. Some guns are better in close range meanwhile some of them are better in longer ranges.

But in most cases, yes usual rifles are good for a lot of situations meanwhile combating with smg/shotgun with longer ranges is difficult.

True. The t3 weapons are better statistically though for the most part, but doesn't really mean you're always going to have the upper hand either.
