Left because aleast looks good from a 2D perspective (plus I'm used to that and I forgot to turn off until now). The other one looks kinda confused to me tbh.
As much I wanna defend right-handed people... DC is right about left-handed people..its true...me bro is lefty and smart as well..but doesnt have the looks for sure.
This setting has been implemented and defaults to left in order to show the world that left handed people are better than right handed people.
Like what you did there
Leftist supremacy!
(not communism)
anyway awful joke aside, left handedness is more often linked to naturally skilled/intelligence in a certain field; but the same are more often to have some kind of drawback such as social incompetence. (this would also have to do with the higher rates of anxiety, OCD, Autism, & ADD/ADHD)
in other words:
left handed people CAN be more intelligent/talented, but are more often drawn back by mental conditions.
@ DC: Ultimate troll.
I have never changed this setting. I have heard that it may be beneficial in Counter-Strike because of the 3D, since weapons may obstruct the view (however there're settings at least in CSGO to change the looks of the hands+weapons) but I have long not seen anybody using this in CS. And there's no point for it in CS2D besides maybe historical reasons. (yet it's not hard to make, except that scripts should be able to differentiate between left/right-handed players to draw weapons etc.)
Since this is a 2D game, both of them actually don't matter at all. We just get used to the left hands while it is enabled by default. However, I'm really surprised who disabled it and then has kept playing on that afterward. Nobody needs to even touch that setting. But if what we talk is 3D and if the hands are covering half of the screen, then it matters. Even though, everything in the life is about to getting used to in my opinion. Our moms were telling us "If you keep doing something for totally 40 days, you'll be got used to doing that thing your entire life." And it is true.
I've opened this thread for our mod. We are probably going to make all the skins and armors as looking through this poll. Thank you guys, stay awesome.
