I have been roaming with this idea in a while, and thought I'd post it afterall.As you may have spotted from the title, It's called Remembering your roots. As simple as that sound, as simple as what it does: Being able to purchase additional traditional skins in-game containing models and maybe sounds from the previous games: 1.6 and Source.A store, where extra appearance can be bought for player models ingame that is a look-alike of the old models in the older games, obviously tuned and tweaked to match CS:GO graphics.

How it's gonna work

Few things should be completely clear here:• It doesn't count for Gun models, they stay completely the same.• No gameplay changes needed.• Model sizes, hitboxes and animations are completely the same, to prevent various models giving advantages in situations.That being said, the models should be build off the models we already have in the game, only for visual changes and not actual new models to be implemented, of course enhanced on their own ways.[INDENT]An idea, how these skins can be loaded out of the already existing inventory.[/INDENT]• They will be in the Store or available to unlock as DLCs, since I think this should be something that cost money to both support the game and to prevent over-shadowing the default skins for CS:GO, this should be added as extra unlockable DLC's or to be put in some sort of an implmented store. Even the steam market can be used, like it is for gun models now.• An extra coin or text should be in the info area of a particular player that have bought the skins, saying which routes he is from, or what skin package he got. As an example, we all know how the Operation X coins appears when spectating a guy that have bought one, this should also be available to represent the skins you have bought, that is also gonna show who really bought them, instead of those scripter kids that have downloaded them for free.• Implement some sort of a bundle, to buy-out all the available skins and at the same way support e-sport, just like the e-sports cases work now, there should be an e-sport bundle, where all the skins from all games are in, could also include an esport case for that matter.[INDENT]Ninjas in Pyjamas, representing both scenes.[/INDENT]

It may sound as an idea as any other ideas, but I'd like to point out why this is needed:

The majority of the players are forced to be here.That is completely right, if you want it or not Valve, most of the players are here because they have grown up playing CS, let it be from the beginning, source, condition-zero, that doesn't matter. What matters is people have history, and they want to support the series as much as they can, even though it differs so much. That alone for itself is enough for me to think of these particular players needs an ability to represent where they're from, whilst playing the newest addition to the family.It's gonna benefit everyone.Are you a Source player, are you a 1.6 player? Or do you dislike both games and you are that one badass person that prefers CS:GO over them? Easy as that, you have your options to match exactly who you are, and the ability to show it to others exactly what you want to represent.Are you Valve? then you're gonna make a hell lot of money and respect out of this, that is how it's gonna benefit everyone.Honor and respectWhile these are pretty big words, I feel it's the right ones to use on this.It's simply to show pity, honor and respect for all the loyal players that have been there all the years, those who are being forced away from their beloved games to the new addition to simply support the game and make it grow bigger, whilst there are alot of things they may or may not like about the game, giving them atleast one thing they can represent from the past is not only a must, it's also respecting and honoring them, appreciating their existance in the new game, by both letting them support the game not only financially, but also for their own amusement.[INDENT]VeryGames, remembering their Source roots.[/INDENT]The ways to implement it are endless, and could be done in it's unique way, the actual point here is to get the idea out there in the first place, to show honor, respect and appreciation for all the people that have been sticking around for the game, watching the pro scene, playing themselves in all these years, have the ability to remember their roots.
