The switch takes too long now and favors T side
Trying to get the map change is no longer feasible with it being the clock unless you're playing by yourself or everyone just sits back and lets you as it takes way too long to wind the clock. Really disappointing change, makes the map feel way more boring now.

Personally I hate the graphics.. the flash between the two graphics is more intense feeling then a flash bang in the game and players loved to spam that thing.

Personally it doesn't serve a purpose at all.

I cant actually even get it to activate. seems like the swap cancels if the person who activated it dies before it happens

Yeah, you gotta hold it until it swaps which is basically impossible for CT.
I managed to swap it once as T but my team was spawn camping and CT was mostly bots, I don't see it being possible to swap in a full game.

There is a 30s cooldown

i'm trying to find a good balance but I won't be able to please everybody unfortunately.
I'll probably reduce the time required to hold the USE button though, it's probably a bit too hard currently to do in real-gameplay conditions.

Why not just raise the cooldown so its not easily abused (1:30-2min) but still at lockers?
Right now the clock switch favors T side entirely, where as before it just favored CT at start but was still easy and safe to access for T.

Many players don't like the look of the CS 1.6 version either. Increasing the cooldown duration doesn't solve it, it can make it worse since it could be stuck for longer.
This was just supposed to be an easter egg, not a feature to be used like it used to. So I decided to make it more challenging by giving a chance to the other players (including the ones that don't want to switch graphics) to prevent another player from doing it (with the audio cue of the clock + the time it takes).
I agree that it makes it a bit easier for Ts because it's not perfectly centered but I consider this unbalance acceptable since it's actually also challenging even for Ts. Making it safe is the opposite of what i'm trying to do.
