I don't think supporting or opposing will do anything.
I mean sure, hands, animations and realistic stuff don't really fit the game at all, but having every weapon have the same style, work the same and probably look the same would make all of them boring, also this is a sandbox game where the modder is given the right to make whatever they want to make, since they are making it the way they want the add-on to be the way they want it to work, thus making it for the people that want something like that.
When some weapon/weapon pack you don't like is released, that's OK, you don't have to use it, you're not forced to use it, it's not going to be on every server you go to, you don't have to constantly go to the topic to say how bad it is ( you can even get that topic-blocker script so you don't have to look at people saying "omg loel its the bset pcka evre bom bum" or look at the topic itself ), sure you can give the creator constructive criticism, but DON'T tell him to remove what he probably was aiming for ( hands, animations, sights, reloading, etc. ), because he made it for the people that like that and not for the people that hate that. If you still don't like it and the creator won't do anything about it just for you, make your own pack that works the way
YOU want it.
or suggest it Models don't really need to have the style of the game, just low poly in my opinion, but it is nicer when they fit the style.
I don't see how hands make it more realistic if they are loving flying and stretched out.
And if the weapon-pack is based on a game i don't see how it's going to be realistic because they based it from that game that was probably not realistic at all. But i agree that calling it realistic is "realistically" stupid.
But i think both simple weapons and
some reloading/hands/sights/etc-like weapons are both as good as they both have flaws. ( in my view )
I'm not opposing, but i'm not supporting, because it doesn't really matter, it's a game after all,
we choose the add-ons
we want to use, as they make the add-ons they want to make the way they want it.
I think this is like the 2nd or 3th topic ranting about these features and still nothing has been done, a support list with over 50 people isn't going to work either, there are over 300+ people who play the game and aren't on the forum anymore or have never been.
I'm not really good expressing what i think about stuff so if you think i'm wrong with something please tell me :(
Well well well, Would you look at this

lol, that was over 2 years ago and i was recently new to the forum. Also that model is really outdated and not scaled correctly, people could have even figured out how to do it without that tutorial. Also that was when hands looked "good" on stuff because it was not common on weapons, but now its very common and i think that actually made people hate them, either that or the way Walter terribly used them. I personally dislike them now, but i still use them to scale a weapon correctly.
