"Never ever do anything like this"- CS2 community reacts to Valorant's Evori Dreamwings bundle

Following the release of the Evori Dreamwings bundle in Valorant, the CS2 community reacted to its distinct animations. While some Counter-Strike players appreciated Valorant developers' efforts to bring new bundles and content into the game, others expressed discontent with the effects and urged Valve not to add these animations.

In one such post from a popular Counter-Strike 2 content creator @OzznyCS2, several players from the community, including Ozzny himself commented on the animation of the Evori Dreamwings bundle. The creator urged Valve not to add animated skins like this and commented:

"Never ever do anything like this"

One CS2 enthusiast @JiggahCS expressed that the existing animation in the Vandal weapon is quite distracting and might block some of the player’s in-game vision.

On the other hand, another fan appreciated the effort of the people behind the Valorant development team. They mentioned how Valorant developers put more effort than their Valve counterparts.

@feexyyy7 expressed their frustration over the issue where Valve failed to release any operation despite the hype in all social media forums. Many netizens speculated that the company might release a new operation to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Counter-Strike. However, the company remained silent and released 5 community maps for a change.

They commented:

valorant devs took more effort to make this skin than whole team in valve making cs2 content

One X user @BUHGSUK also mocked Valve and mentioned how at least Valorant players are blessed with regular content updates, unlike Counter-Strike. They mentioned:

Don’t worry for us to get something like this they’d actually have to update something

On the other hand, another fan @Yoake seems thrilled with the new bundle in Valorant Episode 9 Act 1. They suggested that Valve might add something similar to this to their upcoming operation in Counter-Strike.

Among the stream of appreciating comments on Valorant, the user @WiikH expressed their discontent with the reload animation of the new Evori Dreamwings bundle. They mentioned the reload animation is “unsatisfying”.

Should Valve add animated skins in CS2?

Note: This section is based solely on the author's opinions.

Judging from the legacy of Counter-Strike, Valve shouldn't think about adding any animated skins in-game. The classic skins in the 5v5 shooter have their own charm. The FPS community has praised the idea of a classic and distinct look of CS skins. However, recently some reports suggested that Valve devs might be working on adding some in-game cosmetics like clothing skins, and keychains for the weapons.

Valve is yet to unveil something officially on this matter. They might add some animations like this to attract the newer generation of gamers, instead of focusing on ongoing issues like cheating and new content.
