Actually pretty interesting that the real life one uses 5.7x28mm rounds as opposed to the normal 9x19mm (9mm pistols)

Meaning smaller projectile slightly longer casing. Produces 30% less recoil than a normal 9mm. I should actually look into getting one irl :)
 
Here is Warowl's opinion on the update.

I read that Friberg told the community to calm down on the R8 topic. I can only see that Valve announced the R8 to be updated in line with the other weapons.

Damage Control
10 DEC 2015 -

On Tuesday we shipped some major gameplay changes in CS:GO including the R8 Revolver, and players have been voicing legitimate concerns over the balance of the weapon as shipped.

While it typically takes more time to generate enough data to drive an update (and gameplay updates are always a bit disruptive), in this case it’s clear that we got the damage wrong and can respond immediately.

So today we’re updating the R8 Revolver to bring its values to be more in line with other weapons: among other changes, its damage has been reduced and it takes slightly longer to fire.

As experience with other new weapons (e.g., CZ75a and M4A1-S) has shown us, it may require several iterations over a longer period to find the stable values that create interesting strategic choices for players. We’re committed to monitoring usage and adjusting the values as required.

Tuesday’s update also included several other changes to gameplay (including a rebalancing for pistols and rifles). It’s still too early to determine their impact but we’re just as committed to monitoring the new meta and ensuring that as CS:GO continues to evolve, it remains fun, skillful, and balanced.

So the changelog to the update they made on the 10th is still to be added?
 
When is/was the rollback?

The Revolver now that it's dooped down actually it's just useless. Leave it one shot kill if you want but damn I miss the spray predictability of my AK. :o

They rolled back the AK/M4, etc. changes as well to the original values.
On the 12th I think.

I had an update this morning… The rollie is unchanged since its last downgrade, but all the other pistols have been rolled back. I am yet to test the latest patch.

The spray is still not the same. Will check when I get home.
They killed the revolver though. It's a deagle with a longer fire time, less ammo and it costs 850. Bleh.

I have more than one pc on which I play CSGO so whether I have already experienced the update or not I really don't know. I see that the update was done on the 15th,

I played last night and the spray was still very random. Maybe I'm imagining things and my play got buggered by trying to do the random spray :o
I'll check tonight. Thanks for the update.

The Christmas kill cam,



yesterday I was still experiencing the bug.

Strangest thing happened to me yesterday. One round I started with my toon slanted about 6-10 degrees to the left. I had to play a whole round like that and it was fixed start of the next round. Was interesting to say the least :D I actually forgot about it I still wanted to google it.

Was this just to the left :D

Why is it so hard to rank up now?

I kid you not I've probably won 18 of my last 21 games and I'm still DMG wtf? I know they changed the ranking system but this is ridiculous. :mad:
 
So how do you guys find the new ranking system?

Even winning and de-ranking :D I have an MG1 account now and a Nova 3...
 
I don't know if this is kinda off topic, but has anyone ever seen a Five-Seven Kami with the "2013 HE" (thats what it looks like) part of the skin on the left side of the gun?
