Title: CSGO going F2P soon(?)
Post by: HideoKojima on August 13, 2013, 02:51:45 PM
It will be like TF2 kinda.
Guns will have special camos. Not sure what else.

I don't think it's going F2P, just going to have a sort of item system.

That would be awesome since I don't have the game and I would probably like to play it but I doubt it'll happen.

I guess they did it in TF2. But Tf2 eventually became F2P.
Valve might just skip right to the F2P thing.

It will become F2P but when is the question. At the same time as these items or eventually after these items. Only time will tell.

It WILL?
Where's the evidence for this?

Why implement microtransactions if you aren't going to push them as much as possible?

But even besides that look at Valve's history.

TF2, Dota 2, and soon CSGO (Eventually.)

Well that sounds horrible. Now CS might become incredibly easy. Hopefully it's not too heavy if it happens.

I don't think so, they won't go as far as f2p right now.

Call Of Strike - Modern Offensive. inb4 C4 Skins.  :fire:

Anyways I really hope they add more weapons. Maybe bring back the MP5 or add an FN FAL or a Tar 21.

From the CSGO FAQ
Quote
Q: Can I buy items that will affect gameplay and give me an advantage?
A: No. All of the items are purely cosmetic.
Quote
Q: Does this mean CS:GO is free to play now?
A: No. The Arms Deal Update is aimed at rewarding the wide spectrum of players who have already purchased CS:GO -- from players looking for new ways to express themselves in-game, to CS:GO’s competitive community getting well-deserved visibility and bigger rewards for their high level of skill.
I wouldn't be too worried about the guns to be honest, they're going to be skins that everyone can see.
F2P isn't happening, just public models and skins.
Knowing Gamebanana community, they will just make all the skins default for everyone to use if the camos get annoying.

"F2P isn't happening."

Not yet. Give it another year or so.

Yes, they will defiantly go F2P in a year after this. (sarcasm)

No that'd be you. You're stupid if you really think that isn't the direction they aren't headed towards. Valve is loving the F2P microtransaction model as shown with TF2 and Dota 2. People are eating that shit up.

I don't think that CS:GO will really be going F2P since if you're talking about dota 2 how they went F2P, DotA 2 was originally made to be F2P and It was Valve's plan all along.

and for CS:GO it wasn't made to be F2P at the start and all the items doesn't affect the gameplay.

"and for CS:GO it wasn't made to be F2P at the start"
Neither was TF2.

"and all the items doesn't affect the gameplay"
Neither does TF2. TF2 has hats, CSGO has cameos.
