i dont think there should be skins for any non-stock weapons to be honest as it could make it super hard to differentiate between them

Valve cares way more about money than quality of their games, really unlikely there won't be an original skin eventually imo

BumFreezei dont think there should be skins for any non-stock weapons to be honest as it could make it super hard to differentiate between them

I think they could make non-stock skins that are fine to differentiate. Like if there was a slightly tinted Original with a few stripes on it you could probably still tell what it is quite easily. A lot of the non-stock weapons also look completely different. The only ones that could really cause problems that I can think of are alternative sticky launchers, lochnload, flamethrowers, bats, pistols, gunboats/mantreads, axes, and wrenches

BumFreezei dont think there should be skins for any non-stock weapons to be honest as it could make it super hard to differentiate between them

but then that results in less money-havings on valve's end

worst-case scenario, valve creates a template for unlocks that ensures certain parts of it is always obvious when viewed from a distance

plus it doesn't rly matter if valve hates the original, it's the weapon that a whole bunch of comp players use and unless they hate money they don't want half of the competitive soldiers in tf2 using a cheap, unskinned weapon

Woogiebugwhy would they regret adding the original

a shot in the dark: a new player could try to learn tf2 using solely the original, and then be locked out of every other unlock because they all require you to treat them similar to stock

like this didn't matter when it first came out and nobody used anything non-stock anyways, but there's been a whole bunch of other primaries since and valve wants ppl to use them all in the long term

I don't have any sources, but my speculation is that since the original is from quake, and tf2's movement mechanic is inspired by quake, they would only want to keep a few things that are similar to it in tf2. Also I think that they fear that more quake content would, after a while, eventually have people turn to quake and away from tf2. No idea if it's a true thing or not. That's only my best guess as to why

"Believes he read that somewhere in the past" aka random hearsay that you should in no way be making inferences from.

I think they regret the original because its almost a waste of a weapon slot

its so unique in its mechanics that it HAS to be a unique weapon, but its borderline a waste of a weapon slot because its still really similar to stock

maybe they regret cluttering the game with such a common remodel

easy to fix by just fucking making it a cvar tho

You're telling me that they regret "cluttering the game" when they do exactly that with almost every single thing they add (including flashy pointless reskins, not complaining though I like some) while The Original actually changes something worthwhile for people used to centered rockets? Like flame said though it's a completely pointless discussion.
