@rawmaw I can't comment on the OW part cause I know absolutely nothing about it or its gameplay, but agreed on the announcers. The announcers are cool but could've been executed better; their lines don't really convey the information they're intended to, & something about the audio mixing is just... grating? to listen to.

[@jonwarland272]

I have never used a weapon skin but it is a shame they are being discontinued. I am still annoyed that strange weapons got discontinued without finishing the set. The weapon fix has revived hope that maybe some day the bison and pomson will get their projectiles fixed, but that is a lot more work than changing the wet variable from 0 to 1.

I really hoped for Valve to add at least 1 Weapon Reskin from Tropic Crisis community project... Haven't seen the maps yet, cosmetics are mid we already have "militarish-styled" ones, but the best is probably Gordon Freeman for Medic. If Valve would ever going to add Reskins to the game, i wish for Syringe Gun to have a reskin of that Living weapon from Half Life(shoots with flies). Medic has the face of a Gordon Freeman, but doesn't have weapons for such purpose. Even a crowbar 😭

The maps were cool, but I wish they didn’t add ten of them each update. 2-3 really good ones per update is fine. The player base is spread thin enough as it is.
