Mainly because I have a higher standard than most people on this site.

Pros: Eh... good for a beginner skin, but it's really really simple for anyone to recolor a skin.
Cons: You didn't actually reskin it... you just recolored. So... it has no extra detail. And there is definetely nothing special about it.

Functionality: It works, so here's your easy 10.
Originality: There are SO MANY black recolours of the SAS model, and, well, pretty much every other CT model as well. The idea is cool, but it's just been done so many times.
Realism: It's about as realistic as the default model. I don't really like the shoes, although they sort of match the pockets and vest he's wearing, it just isn't what I'd think a soldier would take into an urban firefight.
Screenshots: This is where your skin shines the most, actually. The screenshots are good, and the render is really appealing. Good job.
Recolor: The reason this is so low is because not enough work has gone into this. Maybe try increasing the texture resolution and adding a few detail overlays (actually, for every skin this should be a minimum). You can also try stuff like adding new bits such as different pockets, maybe a different insignia, or something else. Be creative. Custom normal maps and maybe a new shader effect (phong is the best, most widely used choice out there for CSS) would be lucrative.

Pros: I'm rating this based on the "Approval Ratings"

Functionality:
This is very functional with css, it has the default model and the color is very friendly with most cs map environments.

Originality:
One of the Cons.

Realism:
It's a Swat(ish) skin, not much to say in terms of realism, it works well with maps like office, and assault

Screenshots:
Very nice screenshots, great display picture, show the skin from every angle, in game, and there's no flaws in the screens.


I like the color of the boots, matches some of the things on his armor/Kevlar or whatever.
Cons: Functionality/Realism:
This doesn't really work with all of the maps, like dust, they just stick out and look like a dark version of the defualt skin.

Originality:
There's a LOT of recolors JUST like this, this one doesn't do much different, but it is pulled off pretty well.
Improvements: Make it different from other "black" skins, variety never hurts.. unless there's no variety.


Notes: It's a good skin, it's just nothing we haven't seen yet.

It's a good recolor though.
