So, for those for you that play Team Fortress 2 regularly, you'd know about this update by now as it's been pushed to practically everybody. It's their new big thing right now. There's been a lot of things that they've done to really make the game as good as it can get, and this particular update is no exception. There's been class changes, new maps, new weapons, and all kinds of cool things to mess around with to sort of revive the interest of a lot of players who have at least 300-400 hours of playtime like myself. However, there's one thing that this update brought and it's something I really really don't like. It may just be a stupid thing to hate, but it's justified.
WEAPON SKINS
Now, if you're like me and you play a lot of Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike: Global Offensive, you'd be in the same opinion as me probably in which I think both games are great because they're different in their own way, but they're very fun in their own special ways. Team Fortress 2 now has weapon skins, and it's not just something sort of similar to CS:GO, it's pretty much a direct copy of CS:GO. I've never really been a fan of having "rare weapon skins" in FPS games, because than the game becomes less about the gameplay, and more about who looks better with what.
Yes, I know Team Fortress 2 has hats, shut up, hats are cool. Anyway, I just don't see why they had to go and bother taking something from another game, and putting it into a game that really has no place for it. Team Fortress is goofy and an all around fun game, whereas CS:GO is a little bit more serious and competitive. To add something like this to TF2 would be like adding hats to CS:GO. It just wouldn't work. Other than this, the update has been fantastic. The new maps are great, the new class changes are also great, and it could have been the perfect update, if it wasn't for the stupid gun rarities.
