Give players different weapon and they will fight each other about which weapon is better.
I will be using data from List of weapons from Counter-Strike 1.6 and I will be using their
Original name.
Knife
Knife is useless. You will never get close enough to use it. And it does not kill instantly.
That may be true but there are players using knife to troll other players or for getting more movement speed (not only for bhop).
Another advantage is that you will always have the knife because you cannot throw it away.
Pistols
There are 4 pistols available for both teams and one only for one team (ES Five-Sevenfor CT and
.40 Dual Elitesfor T).
You can use/buy a pistol with silencer (
H&K USP .45 Tactical) or
Desert Eagle .50AEwhich deal more damage then knife and is used to instantly kill enemy (it has 7 rounds in magazine and some players are trying to use only 5 of them to kill all 5 enemies).
