yeah i hated having to switch back to standard after using custom skins for literally years. i just use the deagle a lot more than i used to now since that's the only stock weapon skin that looks halfway decent. fortunately it's better at headshots than the ass-looking m4 LOL.
Hell, I don't care anymore. This game has changed a great deal from the days of 1.3 and when CAL was still around. Nowadays it's all about pounding shots waiting for the next round; another opportunity to go galavanting through enemy spawn strapped with a mac with eye of the tiger blasting on repeat drowning out the footsteps of bubble goose sneaking around like a fucker.
