Key Takeaways:
- Counter-Strike has a large community of talented skin creators.
- Some of the best skins never made it into CS2 despite their popularity.
- Older skins, like the AK Propaganda and M4 Cyber T-Rex, were highly anticipated but never added.
- Newer designs, such as the Op Derailed and M4 CS2 Dash, also show great potential.
The AK Propaganda and M4 Neon Rider
The AK Propaganda and M4 Neon Rider are two skins that were highly anticipated by the community but never made it into CS2. The AK Propaganda, created by the same artist behind the popular AK Neon Rider, featured a unique design with a 3D model and a Lamborghini image on the magazine. The M4 Neon Rider had multiple versions, each with a different design pattern. While it’s unlikely that these skins will ever be added to the game, their popularity among fans is undeniable.
The Team Gloves Concept
The concept of team gloves was introduced in 2016, allowing players to represent their favorite teams with specialized gloves. Although this concept did make it into the game during the 2016 Star Ladder tournament, it was never expanded beyond that. Anomaly 3 suggests that it would be cool to see these gloves return as temporary items during Majors, but it’s unlikely to happen.
The Op Derailed
The Op Derailed is a standout skin that takes full advantage of normal mapping to create a 3D effect. This skin pushes the boundaries of what is considered a traditional Op design, which may be why it hasn’t been added to the game. However, Anomaly 3 believes that its uniqueness and visual appeal make it a skin worth considering for future releases.
Other Notable Skins
Anomaly 3 also highlights several other impressive skins in the video. These include the M4 CS2 Dash, which has gained popularity on the Steam Workshop, and the AK Front Side Misty on the M4 A4 model, which unfortunately had its workshop submission deleted. Additionally, the creator of the M4 Golden Coil also made an op and USP version of the skin, offering a full set of black and gold designs.
While it’s disappointing that these skins were never officially added to CS2, the creativity and talent showcased by the community is undeniable. Hopefully, Valve will consider incorporating some of these forgotten skins into future updates. Until then, fans can admire them in Anomaly 3’s video and appreciate the dedication and artistry that goes into creating these unique CS2 skins.
