Free Rotation Inspection in CS:GO?

I thought of this topic playing with my friends on Team Fortress 2 actually. I was going through my inventory when I realized that there was an inspection option for TF2 Skins. So I inspected a skin and realized... it's free rotation . What this means basically is that you can grab and drag the model to rotate it and look at the skin from different angles.



Then I started to think about skins in CS:GO. I thought about how crucial skin detail is in CS and how much it really can change the price of an item; one of the most obvious factors being the "float" of a skin. Another factor is the pattern of a skin; if there is a specific pattern on the "play side" of a knife, the value goes up by a substantial amount.



Then I asked myself, "Why does Counter Strike not allow you to inspect weapons like you can in TF2??". How come that there is a tool in TF2 that allows you to analysize the skin and the details easier when it is more relevant in Counter Strike?? That's when I thought I should let others know of my idea.



I believe having free rotation weapon inspection in CS:GO will benefit all CS players no matter their interests (gamblers, traders, normal players). If a Valve employee is reading this... please... add this to the game... personally I do not see any negatives of having this option.



Here is a good example of how it can help traders. Let's say that there is someone that would love to trade for a knife that has a diamond pattern on the play side of the knife. In order for this guy to actually want the item he needs proof; so he goes and inspects it in game. However there is an issue; when the knife is being inspected, the NON-play side is showing and once in a while the play side will show. This gets very very annoying and is not very helpful to him at all. If there was a free rotation option, this guy could have simply dragged the model and see the play side easier than before.



Another example, a trader is buying a skin and the one selling the skin says there are literally no scratch marks on the gun at all (lets say the skin is an M4A4 | Asiimov). So this guy buying the skin wants to inspect it. He sees there are no scratch marks on the non play side BUT he did not realize that there were scratches on the play side! He buys the skin and realizes this afterwards and is unhappy. If there was a free rotation function added into CS, this guy could have seen these marks, saved his money and could have gone for a better deal.



There are a ton of examples I could use but most of them the community can figure out themselves. So in conclusion, I believe that having a free rotation function when inspecting skins in Counter Strike : Global Offensive will be a very beneficial addition to many, if not all, players.



If you think this is a good idea, PLEASE VOTE IT UP OR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO MAKE VALVE SEE IT!!!! This can help a ton of people!
