Here's an idea. A custom map with the R8 where headshots kill but shooting anywhere else does no damage. Bit like Golden Gun mode.

Could be fun.

So how custom DM servers do that but with R8s?

 

[Sigismundo]

Pretty much, yeah.

 

[RobNBanks]

wtf

i take a 2 hr nap and Valve actually admitted they fucked up and baby calls all of CSGAF racist

 

[Sajjaja]

Macklemore is the only rapper with something to say.

 

[misses bull]

Macklemore is the only rapper with something to say.

Same love is an inspiring rap song with a lot to say

 

[kenbo]

Oh yeah, Macklemore is pretty great too

Almost as good as Eminem

 

[Kard8p3]

rip fun csgo

Rap is Crap. People driving around in their Rap Cars being thugs is ruining America

Would have been more fun with the Deagle. Also sounds like HS mod... :")

 

[Hixx]

It's true

Guns don't kill people, rappers do

I saw it in a documentary on bbc2

 

[udiie]

this is the worst thread on GAF

 

[RobNBanks]

its the OPs fault

trash attracts trash

 

[MayMay]

don't worry, OT4 is only gonna attract the upper class

 

[udiie]

isn't that the problem

 

[Two Words]

Update is out. It's no longer a 1 hit kill on body. It's trash now. Go back to desert eagle.

 

[Deltoid]

I was really hoping ak burst nerf would be dialed back a bit, but I guess I have to get used to this

 

[RobNBanks]

doesn't seem like it shoots slower, left or right click

Left is definitely slower.

 

[RobNBanks]

Left is definitely slower.

nice.

i'd probably notice it in a real match. i just dickshotted bots to see the damage nerf and then left.

This gun is garbage now and serves no purpose. Why use it over a desert eagle? DE is usually 2 body shots to kill, far faster, more ammo, and more accurate when fast firing.

 

[cHinzo]

Wait, the update is already live? RiP fun. Now I need to complain about the rifle nerfs, even tho I havent touched those guns in a while lol. Revolver only was so fun. ;__;

The accuracy reset is quicker when left clicking over the Deagle. The Deagle accuracy is garbage after first shot unless you wait a period of time to shoot again or hit a juan deag.

did they also nerf strafing accuracy?

because it basically made Mirage T sided since you can just strafe out mid and prefire the same corner that everyone sits in. Peekers advantage and all that

No.

I think it still has potential right now. Have to use it some more though.

I dunno. Once I saw how much weaker it is, I tossed it back in the inventory. That gun was great because you could use it with the knowledge that you are likely to one shot an enemy. You can take risks when you know a one shot will occur. I wish they kept the damage high and impacted other areas instead. Make it less accurate. Make it a longer trigger pull. The damage being nerfed just makes it all pointless.

 

[Mokoi]

Fuck man all they needed to do is lower pistol run accuracy but nahh got make other changes. I chould have played the pre update game for life and be content. Update left me disappointed. My achy breaky heart

The gun is still really powerful and with it's mobile accuracy buffed it's now a cheaper scout.

 

[Omikron]

I think that is potentially ok. At least this gives the ability for people to find out if it has viable scenarios rather than just being OP.

I've used a desert eagle as a cheap scout for years.

 

[MayMay]

Just played a MM game, yeahh.. not a fan of using the revolver anymore. The main draw was that satisfying one hit kill - but that's gone now for the most part. Probably just gonna go back to the Deagle because it's more fun and satisfying if you manage to hit that sweet one deag. Even though it does not really matter to me anyways because I don't usually buy the Deagle unless my team is really far ahead and I feel like having some fun..

Don't really need a pocket scout.. gonna give the revolver a few more matches though.

bruh the deagle is a 3 shot kill from anything longer than kinda mediumish range

I like it still. I don't like the Deagle at all, while I'd rather take the charge and ammo penalty.

 

[Clydefrog]

Argh, Valve. Thanks but I'm still mad at you.

 

[kenbo]

OK so the R8 went from
116 DMG -> 86 DMG

and spread from
0.48 -> 0.56

Apparently the charge takes a little longer too

Same Armor Penetration value though.


So in what situations do I want to use this over the tec-9/five-seven?

I'd only recommend it maybe for a forcebuy or if you have enough money to still buy the next round but need a good wep for eco.

Yeah the rifle nerf still hurts a lot.

 

[RobNBanks]

yea those circle and rectangle spray patterns

volvo pls

After you lose pistol 2-3 guys buy R8, the rest buy 5-7/Tec-9

it's pretty bad now which is completely fine with me, i can only see myself using it on a force buy where i want a cheaper scout--so playing on A site dust2 or mid mirage or something

 

[Turok_TTZ]

Hey, guys, incoming update.

http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2015/12/13366/

God damn it. Fun ruined.

RIP Revolver. no practical use now even for a pocket scout.
Why introduce it if nerfing so badly later on?

Extremely disappointed. reinstalled CS:GO for nothing. Rifle nerfing was amusing though. muh rage.

 

[tootsi666]

Revolverfiesta was fun if you don't like counter-strike. I wish they had completely nuke

 

[RobNBanks]

gotta love it when the community bitches about "not every gun needs to be viable" while also complaining that "i have no reason to use this gun over this other one"

 

[tootsi666]

It's good if every gun has its own purpose. That purpose/gimmick doesn't have to be viable in high level (Pro) competitive games.

 

[Turok_TTZ]

I never had the chance to play a "high noon" game with it before it was patched. now there is no point.

at the very least, they could throw in more revolver animations to make up for bad nerfing. its only use now is to view best animation.
