The Counter-Strike community rioted when CS2 launched without the option to switch which view model you could use. But when the long-awaited Bob update arrived, certain players credited it with not only improving their confidence, but their performance.
But is it true? Can moving your gun to the other side of the screen make you aim better? Or is it just placebo?

I still miss "cl_bob_lower_amt" so much man, it really makes the game more comfortable to play. Like where is the problem?
bob is cool and all but hear me out here cl_viewmodel 0
im right handed yet im left eye dominait what kind of a freak am I?
I think it really comes down to what feels natural. My guess is for Woxic as someone who lives left handed it feels more natural to him, where as for Dennis that may not be something his brain thinks about while playing right handed as a left handed person and so it feels natural to him. I am right hand and eye dominant and normally play right handed but use the ability to swap situationally when I want less on my screen when trying to look to the right, that may be a placebo as well but it's what feels natural to me.
4:12 the cheeky caption was "Fine."
why tf we're looking at tenz clips for half a video
I'm a lefty, was British army and we only shoot right handed…I cant play CS on the left
I love it that the stickers are reversed if you are using left hand mode
Now we need “clear decal” command back
Can you make a video about "view_recoil_decay" and how that command makes shooting feel so choppy? The default value is "18" but setting it to "999" makes spraying feel so smooth. Its a game changer. Go into a workshop map and try it out yourself. Please! We need this change in the game!
I just found out I'm left eye dominant (with right hand dominant), looks like I should stay at right side viewmodel.
And I totally understand how viewmodel affects your aim, I shift my viewmodel to a bit center instead of the default rgiht side viewmodel I used for 800 hours and I have a hard time hitting an awp flick shot for like couple hours. I would image changing your viewmodel from left to right will mess up more of your ability to aim and flick.
I was always taught to play CS with your real-life handness dictating your viewmodel
I'm sure they'll fix it by the time cs3 comes out
Can we stick to just callin it “shoulder swapping” like we do with 3rd person games ? It’s essentially the same thing .
guy who knows might be actually epstein client ngl
I’m right handed but always use left view model unless I’m holding a certain angle. Right eye dominant.
I'm left-handed and right eye dominant. Wtf 😅
It's absolutely matters, for me to day to day map to map and even weapon. If I'm anchoring m4a4 feels so good left hand along with awp. But ak feels superior on right hand. And I think it comes down to fights I'm taking right hand swinging right side etc.
Bob is not right or left hand? It’s how much the view model moves? Talk about piss poor research Jesus Christ. This guy supposedly plays cs?
its due to which eye you're dominant on , for me my aim actually dipped a lot when right hand was the only option , but once left hand was added the aim came back to what it was before the change from faceit level 9 (csgo) to faceit level 6 (cs2) then back to 9 (cs2)
i change constantly when in game when I peek to left I switch to left hand and when right corner I switch to right hand, not sure if it helps with anything but I feel like the gun being outside the corner first when I peek helps with pre fire and as to not accidently shoot the walls of the corner Im peeking with
i play both viewmodels when it was GO until CS2 released without lefthand command, now i can spray/hit things with righthand model idk why XDD
I didn't touch cs2 until they gave me my left viewmodel xD
thanks
We need cl_bob customization settings back
9:27 / 11:42
Was I unsubscribed from this channel? I swear I should have been subbed for years now.. Huh.
As a left-handed player, it feels much more organic for me to hold the gun on the left as well
I have played left handed cs since 1.5 and since cs2 didnt have left hand I got used to right hand and not able to switch back to left hand now lol
If I switch to left from right i go from 15000 to 3000. Same happened for me with LoL when they replaced hand cursor with arrow. Your brain is simply not used to different things like that.
You know another crazy thing, the gun covers a good portion of the screen if i want to peek something that is to my right i would like my gun not to cover anything
Being a lefty, seeing my character hold items the way I would have just feels more comfortable.
old bob was better man, bring it back
