Gratz to Jimmy, would be an honor to join the team. Im glad to see they are still hiring. Growth of the team means growth for the game!

When all I've seen says that Higby and Tray are turning the game into BF2/3 or CoD with a planetside skin on it, and then this guy comes along.. I need no further justification for a kneejerk reaction.

I get it, its good for the game.

People just overreact , psu community is like the hicks from the film Deliverance, new faces like Burt Reynolds and his pals should be ready to face a lynching. How dare they 'intrude'.

yeah man. We need a game with shit gunplay and a COF that lets you shoot in 70 degree angles from where you point your gun. It did so well in the first game.

I damn near dropped out of college due to CS. It was fun, and a game made by experts of the genre is a good thing. Good news as I see it.

When his actions prove that he isn't going to immediately fuck everything up, I'll reconsider it, but for now... I have absolute conviction that he's going to fuck everything up.

We have a lot in common (myself and this community) it seems when it comes down to game play decisions and passion.

PS: The reason I started my podcasts and shows is to promote change against the watered down systems we have in most modern day FPS.

Definitely nice to see someone added to the team that's not "lawl Battlefield is cool, let's do that..."

Go ahead and watch the videos me and Hamma posted before you look more like an idiot

They need all the help they can get and if he can help make the guns feel as real as possible then I am glad he is on board. He seems like a reasonable guy. And I doubt Higby will let him ruin his game... lol

So I am not afraid.

+1

I had no idea who this guy was or what his angle was untill I listened to a few of his videos. Y'see I care enough about PS2 to do research, and I didn't even have to go far.

Having watched thirty or so minutes I'm no informed enough to suggest that having someone articulate enough to express their opinion clearly, and inteligent enough to identify underlying issues affecting gameplay on a qualitative level in the way that this gent does, on the team, can only be a good thing.

Welcome aboard whisenhunt.

Weapons mounted on ROFLCOPTERS do not have ADS and are unaffected by CoF bloom... not a valid example.

You enjoying the friendly welcome then?

Sorry this is off topic, I havent particularly been taking much notice of CS:GO was keeping my head in the sand and hoping for the best after source. But jesus i do not like the weapons.
