As a note: The Negev and the R8 Revolver are receiving changes which will make them entirely different. They have been removed from competitive matchmaking so that in the case that they are overpowered, they cannot be abused in competitive mode.

Discuss this update!

so basically it random sprays then centers? seemsgood..

Designed for suppressive fire. It can't tap anymore. It's designed a bit like the revolver, you have to "pre-charge" (pre-spray) to get accurate usage of it, and the accuracy slowly becomes more accurate, which is quite interesting. Means a user has to give away their position to be any good with it.

so basically now you just have to spray 10 bullets into a wall before turning a corner and you have a mobile turret that is easier to control?

You've managed to be convicted of being a undercover valve agent in the /r/globaloffensive community @Revan The Dragon (Read the bottom bit ye) 

I guess it's always nice to see them trying to make as many guns viable as possible, and a change to the R8 is a step in the right direction, although I'm not sure if the changes are particularly good.
 

New Friends, Requests, Lobbies and Teammates thing seems pretty funky and useful.

Well glad the r8 is getting some attention, as for the negev, why does it sound like a silenced m4, wasn't the point of the negev to be the loudest piece of shit in existence, also no tapping with negev = max kek.
