Counter-Strike Opens Weapons Market

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the arms-dealers dept.

kalpatin writes "The ever so popular game, Counter Strike:Source developed by Valve, has a new feature added to the game: A virtual marketplace for the weapons and equipment. According to Valve, every item's price will be updated on a weekly basis depending on the global market demand. Some users have posted their anger toward the new change on the Valve forums and have even started a petition to stop the change. Is Valve turning into Microsoft by introducing features that are not needed or wanted by the community, or are they merely spicing the game up?"

    So now are they going to start paying out differently to each member of each team? Terrorist get money whenever Osama puts out a new video, or a terrorist attack happens. Counter-T's get paid some sort of salary plus hazardous duty pay. Next, we'll change every map to include some hidden amount of oil- hell, instead of hostages the terrorists can guard that- either that or sell it to us for $80 a barrel. Then when that's all said and done, W comes out and praises Allah at the end of each round. Neat idea though, keep them optional Valve.
