The Silencer - Festivizer

Weapon silhouettes are important.
No, this is not referring to realism, since these do look goofy.
I'm referring to how the game was designed. It was designed to make every weapon look distinct from one another, even at a glance. If stuff like this is added to the game it will mess with that unless it's made to avoid this problem.
Maybe make the silencer shorter? I don't think this is a bad idea.

Sorry but if this is how the developer takes feedback it'll be a downvote from me.

Oh no, I’m paying attention to the game’s art direction and making criticism from that! That must mean I’m larping as popular youtuber man!

This guy gets it, but in my opinion half, silencer is a terrible idea in this game

Trust me, no workshopers do take feedback, most or worse all act as if they own the game

if you have to look at a weapons shadow of all things to recognize which weapon it is, i feel like youre playing the wrong type of shooter.

counter argument -

warpaints, full model reskins, festivizers, and botkillers.

So therefore more weapon decoration is not a problem? Come on. I know snarky comment is your speciality but eventually people will get tired of that bs of yours. Nice deletion of my comment either from you or your buddies btw

Silhouettes died with warpaints and reskins, that's how it is, for better or for worse, it doesn't matter. it died so valve could line their pockets, which they could and would do again, customization is cool, that's why we give big company our money, and will continue to do so, this is a non-issue because the negative is already in the game, and the positive is a neat little cosmetic addition, womp womp, tf2 will DIE if i can't see that the enemy gamer is using a slightly longer pistol instead of a pistol of average length

ngl, you lowkey making a big deal about an idea for a tube on the front of a gun.
i have never known anybody to determine the weapon an enemy is holding by looking at the silhouette

Skins don’t affect the shape of a weapon, so they’re fine (only real exception to this is the Reserve Shooter-Shotgun skins, don’t know why the RS was make war-paintable).
Reskins are fine for now since there aren’t that many (and quite a few are rare), but if more were added it would turn into a problem.
Festivizers are not good. They are an exception.
Botkillers are constrained to stock weapons, and the main feature of botkillers are away from the weapon’s model, making it a non-issue.

Meanwhile this silencer could be mistaken as a new weapon since it changes the shape of the weapon model by making the barrel longer. Need I remind that the Hitman’s Heatmaker’s defining trait is that it’s a silenced sniper rifle?
