Maybe if they could determine the actual reletive value of the different weapons, they could start to charge real money for them. This really would allow them to "cash in" on thier counterstrike fan base.

I guess it's an interesting experiment, but I can think of better ways to improve CS - like lean/prone movements - so we wouldn't always have to shoot at each other squared off like civil war soldiers?

It is still my belief that this weapon pricing system is automated 'fine tune' weapon balancing system.

And that after this has its bugs worked out, they will freely add more weapons to CS:S with no worry.

What they should have added as well is allowing you to trade in your weapons at the beginning of a round instead of just dropping the old ones. I always hated the fact that if you want a new weapon you might as well stick with the semi-good one you already have until you die or have tons of money.

This is such a pain in the butt for those of us with bind scripts who will now have to rescript to buy other pistols instead of whatever one is our favorite, since price changes = not being able to buy what you normally count on being able to buy during certain rounds.

I think this is a neat attempt at sparking new interest in CS:S and giving existing players something new. I know I am guilty of playing with the exact same assortment of maybe 2 different weapons even though there are plenty of others to spice up and change how the gameplay unfolds.
