Thread: T and CT Skins

Do you favor any specific T and CT skin? The colors on all the CT skins are basically the same, but the T skins are really different from each other. And do you think there is a tactical advantage to any of them? For example: I never choose arctic because I swear that skin is easier to see. I always choose Elite because, well, the dude has a blue tooth. On the CT side, I tend to randomly hit a number since I don't really care. How about you guys (and gals)?

I personally prefer Leet on T and SAS on CT

CT I use the Spec ops (gas mask guy). T I use the erm half black one (cant think of name). I find those two have similar profiles making them the most confusing to the enemy. Everyone likes the Elite on T and It does blend well on some of the grassy/dark areas on the map. Really at the end of the day, it doesnt seem to matter. The enemy is usually where you expect em to be -- so even if they are all pink and fluffy with bells on youll know how to shoot em in the head.

It all really depends on what map you're on.

For dust maps, T side I will used the 1337 skin (#2), b/c it has no red coloring, the colors are in the same family, and it blends better than all the others. Going arctic on D2 is never a good idea. Now if the map was a snow level, well, use your brain.

For dust maps on ct side I use the first choice, the S.A.S. guy, the all black one with the gas mask, stand out like a sore thumb on dust maps cuz of the color clashing. Now if youre on Nuke, or inferno, where there are some dark, almost pitch black crevices, then go SAS so you can be sneaky sneaky and hide well in those dark areas.

So all summed up: Look at what map it is. What is the main color of that map? What would/would not stick out the most? Are the dark spots to hide in?

My credo: Never use Guerilla on T, who wants a RED bandanna on their head?? Thats like saying: "Oh yeah, my head? Here it is, do as you please." Same goes for the 2nd and 4th choices on CT. 2nd skin has a tan/brown helmet with a dark blue body,,,are you kidding me?? And the 4th skin with the reflective mask is another HS disaster.

This is why I choose SAS model. the color/shape of the head is fairly indistinguishable from the first model on T. At least from the back. And since both models also have a dark top its possible to be mistaken even if only briefly. Pretty much every model stands out in the lightened areas of D2. I agree with the police model's helm. To me its like a giant bulls-eye. The commando though.. I dunno he sorta looks like Rambo. Lol. Rambo wasn't afraid of head shots. He had exploding arrows!

I have it set to force only arctic on T side and SAS on ct side

cl_minmodels "1"
cl_min_ct "3"
cl_min_t "3"

Change the ct and t from 1-4 to get the model you want, and minmodels 1 or 0, on or off
