    If you're going to say it like that, then CS:GO copied TF2. TF2 had an economy long before trading was introduced in CS:GO, even long before the game was released.

    Das True.

    TF2: 2007- initial trading update released on 2011, known as the Mannconomy Update
    CS:GO: 2012

    I really wish I could've started playing Team Fortress 2 earlier, just for the nostalgic feeling and to see all the updates go by :)

    Looks like OVERKILL made it too where the Drills used to open safes/cases are now available as loot drops.

    Fits with paydays styles. Now they just need to make it so 100% of drills break so nothing can be opened.

    What I meant was copy in terms of reskinning default weapons and making a lot of them. TF2 has had reskins for a while and I don't know which one had reskins first but I know CS:GO was the first one to really make them huge whereas TF2 just always had a few and most of them did not even stay expensive for that long. Also, in my opinion CS:GO made skins not as a method to make a sort of economy but just as a way to give players a way to "customize" their weapons like they did in 1.6 and source except now those reskins were an official part of the game that everyone could see and could show off not just a free download off of gamebanana. The whole trading and economy was just an aftereffect of that.

    As I can see it, the skins in tf2 didn't really play a role in the whole "customization" thing. I feel they just served a part in the economy. I barely see anyone use reskins, let alone try to get any other than unusual. Exceptions for the Thunderbolts and whatever high tier soldier reskin there is.

    That's what I figured but in terms of the festives I guess you could argue that no game had a frequent release of reskins until CSGO. TF2's most frequent reskins were the festives and those were only released every winter. CSGO has new skins every few months.

    I was really hoping for new weapons this update :/

    It seemed like the best update to put new weapons in
