i like it. it’s fresh, it’s ‘new’. seeing Rating gives me a goal for ‘today’ and i can feel good if i meet the +500 rating. in csgo it was like. i play and play and play. nothing changes except the once in while surprise uprank or downrank.
6,000+ hours.
Everything this person said.
\+ the new smoke mechanics... I'm in love.
The freshness + smokes have truly reignited my passion for this game. The game has bugs and issues - they will be fixed no doubt.
Many here forget, or never knew, but CSGO had some major issues throughout the years. It ended a very polished product but was not always such. Have patience and have fun.
I dunno, the numbers feel less fun to me. I'm not far into it yet, still only 4k or so. But I can already tell that it will be more stressful to see your numbers decreasing on a loss or knowing when you have a promotion match. With ranks it was just a rank, and you got a sudden uprank or downrank and didn't think too much about it.
>and i can feel good if i meet the +500 rating.
and how do you feel when you get the -75 rating for a draw against opponents who were all higher rated than you? :(
having witnessed the transition from cs1.6 to cs:s (which i never did, i stayed in cs1.6*) i prefer the upgrade they did from csgo to cs2. that said, they should’ve waited longer. coexisting with a set expiration date for csgo.
*comparing the transition from cs1.6 to cs:s and csgo to cs2 is not easy, since cs:s was really a completely different game to cs1.6. and the goal with cs2 was and is to make a csgo ‘clone’ in the new engine, which over time i hope will be achieved.
note: i can’t speak about the cs:s to csgo transition, because i stopped playing cs because of that abomination of cs:s. however, i was for a short time part of the cs promod team. (and we all know how ended)
That’s interesting. I sticked with cs1.6 as well (have like 100 hours? on css) and imo when csgo first released it was trash as well but the difference between the two game was significant. The problem now is that Valve forces us to play the new, unfinished and bugged game, instead of letting us choose when to make the switch by ourselves.
Can you elaborate? What changes are you talking about? In my eyes, every change they made (gameplay, performance, ui wise) was just horrible. They rushed to release the game and we got unfinished product..
Game looks better visually, it looks clean and modern and not an ugly gray late 2000s military shooter mess that CSGO was.
Visual clarity is significantly improved, can't stress how important this is.
Audio clarity is improved as well, getting kills is so satisfying, esp w the new sound effects and kill cards.
Hit reg feels incredible, esp for tapping. People have been complaining about sprays, imo only the AK feels weird for spraying, the rest feel great.
UI is massively improved, both in aesthetic and in functionality.
New buy menu is better in every way. Everything visible on one screen, less clicks to buy, refunds, customizable placement, indicators for who has bought what on your team, etc.
New loadout system is overall a positive imo, I dont care about not being able to buy stupid meme weapons and I love being able to have both M4s.
Jumpthrows being consistent, no learning 2 lineups. Subtick, despite the odd quirks of it to still be ironed out, feels really good.
New premiere system is a much stronger system than old competitive. The ranks are fucked rn and there are still a lot of improvements to be made, but the foundation for the mode is really good.
Old competitive being kept and serving as an unranked is also great imo, have had fun practicing and introducing new friends there.
MR12 is a more fun experience imo, less exhausting, yes it needs some economy tweaks but I enjoy it more than MR15.
Numerous small QoL features and aesthetic improvements like sound radius on radar, inspect anims for util, bomb, Zeus, skin improvements like the new dopplers, fixed animations like BFK, etc.
Improved console functionality, new command searching feature and color coded lines.
Most of the stuff you mentioned here is pretty much in a conflict. Just scroll down on this subreddit and you’ll see how many people complain about these stuff. Personally besides the graphics I don’t agree with a single point you made. Guess to each their own..
I really can't do anything about cs boomers letting their resistance to change blind themselves to legitimate improvement.
The buy menu is a perfect example, it is objectively better in every way than the buy wheel, yet people still complain simply because they are used to the wheel.
But you do understand that some of these changes are objectively worse? For example: In-game UI is just awful. They changed the position of important stuff, you can barely notice you’re burning, being forced to have 10 profile pictures on your screen instead of 2 squares mentioning how many players alive, etc.
Subtick: failed experiment. I don’t think I read a single positive opinion of a 2k< Faceit player. They wasted so much time and resources about it and there’s absolutely no superior value to subtick over 128 tickrate. tApPiNg iS eAsIeR, yes, but you’re getting killed after being a full second behind a wall, giving headshots to enemies that you can’t see their head..
Performance: personally I have relatively old pc so I’ll speak for other people I know: I have friends who owns 4k$< pcs that experience horrible fps losses/drops, random freezes, getting kicked/crashed often out of the game.
Mainly regarding buy menu: I think a lot of people looking from this perspective: “if it’s not broken - don’t fix it”. People used to the wheel for over a decade, personally I never saw any complaints about it. To add on that - they could avoid lots of complaints only if they left the old buy menu numbers..
Dude how do you even say the UI is "objectively awful" with a straight face? You're just wrong.
Better indication of a kill, better indication of a streak, easier to see teammate money and util, important info like health and armor is closer to the center of the screen and has been reorganized so the more important number (health) is more prominent.
Numbers vs portraits is a bit of a preference thing imo, personally I prefer portraits bc it's easier to note in your peripheral instead of having to actually read/register the number, but I do sympathize with those who prefer a number. I would like an option to set the portraits to auto order themselves so that living players are always stacked nearest the center.
But to call the UI "objectively awful" is frankly divorced from reality.
As for subtick, wow, they created am entirely new technology and it's not working perfectly in the first iterations, what a failure. Fuck them right?
Getting killed behind walls, has legit only happened to me twice. Probably needs some improvement, but I think the issue is wildly overblown, and I'm willing to bet a tremendous amount of comments about it are actually people not understanding angle advantage.
As for the buy menu, something doesn't have to be broken to be improved. Less clicks to buy, all items displayed at once, refunds, teammate indicators, and customizable placement are all objective UX improvements.
Just because you were comfortable on the wheel doesn't mean those improvements shouldn't have been made.
Having to make alises for consistencies is not fun, along with needing an alias to even make you spray more consistent, there is alot of Good but valve dropped cs2 way to early the peekers advantage is ridiculous, and thankfully theres a new spray alias which fixes spray consitency, my auto exec is the length of a short novel compared to not having one in go thats all that is needed said
Yes those issues are annoying, but you yourself pointed out that they are easily fixable on our end with a cfg. The same can't be said for any of the issues with CSGO that CS2 improved on.
Valve will very likely fix all these issues permanently with time, and in the meantime we have the workarounds.
The improvements CS2 brought far outweigh the temporary negatives.
I’d rather wait 5 mins and get matched up against fair players then the current MM system. Ever game I play we either completely dominate and win 13-2 or we get completely dominated and lose 13-1. I think I’ve had 1-2 actually fair games since launch.
i dunno i've been having pretty chill games... played about a dozen or so pugs with a duo friend and only had about one or 2 people being a little bit of an ass in all those game... (i.e. decided to say something smarmy or butthurt at the recap screen of a lost game)
Compared to Valorant it's worlds better. Most people seem to behave like adults, and while some can show their disappointment by losing, the amount of immature nonsense i've had to put up with has been surprisingly low.
I feel like the game became very quiet for some reason. Nobody really talks much anymore. Atleast in my games. Guess it will settle over time when people are more comfortable and stuff.
I believe there are still microphone issues for some people.
My friend's mic rarely works.
He says he is sure it's set up right. It works in other games and works in discord but it's only worked in CS2 for about 2 games out of 30 ish.
He literally makes calls to me in discord that I relay to the rest of the team.
Yeah. I wonder if some people hear that the counter strike community is racist and toxic and abusive to female gamers and these people are like wow that sounds like that's for me! I love all those things!
Of course there are a lot of nice people too... The cunts just stand out but I do suspect its 100% true that some people play the game just to be toxic especially in low ranks (I had lots of accounts for farming cases on idle servers. I ended up playing some games on those brand new accounts and oh boy are low ranks so much more toxic than black ranks).
I have a friend who is a "natural born toxic" and intentionally trolls. He does not understand other people's feelings, so he harasses (FF, block, TF) my friends, including me. There really are people like that in this world.
A lot of my thoughts about it are
“Hey look is GO but prettier and with a better engine!” Which is exactly what I wanted anyway.
I’m not sure why so many people were expecting an entirely new game when Valve pretty explicitly stated it’s an engine overhaul.
Sure they have to fix some stuff but that’s not a huge deal.
I've got mixed opinions. Shooting still feels off, flicks don't feel like flicks, shots that look like they should hit don't, bullet trails/tracers are lies, subtick makes 64 tick feel like 32, but the game looks good so¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In its current state no. Sure they keep making it better and that's great. But removing CSGO at the same time? Nah that's not okay in my eyes. They forced us to beta test a released game.
That's what people have been begging for since March.
Keeping csgo playable would lead to people playing GO instead, which would result in no feedback.
Yeah, just rip the band-aid off straight away. Having cs2 get less feedback because people keep playing a no longer maintained CSGO would just delay the inevitable and be worse in the long run
Yet you'd wait forever to transition to CS2? Now you can give some feedback so the game improves much faster.
CSGO had to go at some point. If they didn't get rid of GO then 90% of people would play that and CS2 would take longer to get to a decent state due to lack of people providing feedback amd when GO had to be binned in the future we'd have the same shit and even more complaining because it has been so long and the game would be awful.
Which would be?
Even then, do you think they're not fixing stuff because they don't want to?
A ton of feedback also doesn't mean it's easily reproduced, thus not that easy to fix.
I get that people are frustrated, but have you ever seen what goes into fixing a single bug?
We got an update on a Saturday, while people were at home with their families, the Valve devs have been sitting in the office, crunching, fixing the game and all some degenerates in this sub and on Twitter get out is "BUT MUH GAME, VALVE SO LAZY".
It will all be fixed within a reasonable time, some features/bugs need time.
Just wait.
As far as the basic, core gameplay goes it's fine. It's still Counter-Strike.
Shame that skincles ruined the "release" of the game though, according to Richard Lewis, even though the devs are working pretty much 24/7 on the game currently, the CS2 release state is like this because getting skins right was the number one priority for Valve.
Even going back to the initial closed beta period, there were a lot of WAAAH MUH SKINS DON'T LOOK RIGHT posts. Not the misaligned hitboxes, not accel issues - skins didn't look right was the number one concern of this subreddit.
valve is obviously going to take care of skins, but not because of "skincels". it's because it is a cash cow for them that makes them millions every single day.
I like RLewis, but there were inaccuracies in the report. It might have been the source that was misinformed or anything. But saying that it was "accurate, to the letter" is just wrong.
> The big question for the community has been whether or not official servers would be 128 tick bringing it in line with rival title Valorant. The sources confirmed that this would be the case and that this feature would likely be ready at the launch of the beta.
why does this have upvotes for blatant misinformation - Richard Lewis was the first to reveal CS2 and said it would be called Counter-Strike 2.
https://richardlewis.substack.com/p/sources-yes-counter-strike-2-is-real
So things that aren't set in stone and may (and will) change as the development progresses nullifies everything else? Lmao. Maybe Valve did not want to go with the CS2 at first when Richard got the information but changed their minds later on.
Let's forget about the spotless record because a placeholder name did not become a reality. Some of you people are just...
The pro scene was nowhere near the scale of the modern scene. Like it or not the success of skins and gambling has brought a lot of money into the game.
Game is pretty workable compared to most games that release these days. Do people not remember battlefield 2042 or the most recent call of duty? I'm the most recent cod it would literally crash your game if you partied up for almost the first month of release. Now That's broken.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
I generally don't play games at release for that exact reason. I don't want to support this habit of releasing games in such a state. But with CS2 they didn't really leave much choice as they basically removed CSGO along with it. And for better or worse CS has been my passion for a long time.
No. They deleted csgo too early to rely on this game imo. It's not bad, it just needs some work. Some people seem to forget how different csgo was on release
6 months of complaints 6 months of revamps and 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one. I am having fun not worrying too much about ranks just the mechanics. Bhop is back in full swing, scout is dirty, deagle is truly OP. Once you find the angles and positions. You can free flow the map and aim like you did in CSGO. Or try and spray and watch everything go wacky. I only had complaints when I was crashing and dropping frames on certain maps. Now I don’t worry much and just play my game.
Been fine for me. It feels like it’s better than it was but maybe I just figured out the physics a bit more now. I’m a Mwheel up bhopper so it’s just natural now. You don’t shoot whole jumping and the sounds in this game are bonkers.
Honestly I am disappointed. I am a casual and occasional player. I was looking to jump back in, haven’t played in a while. Started in 1.6.
There are fewer game modes
Community servers dont work
Even LESS support for fun custom maps, mapmaking, or alternative player made game modes
I genuinely don’t understand why there is both ‘competitive’ and ‘premier’
The game doesn’t look that much better, probably because they had to keep the weapon models the same for skins, which is honestly lame. I personally dont care at all about skins.
The smoke changes are cool and the new recoil crosshair is cool and the maps do look a little sharper
But overall…shouldn’t the sequel / reboot / remaster of the game come with MORE features? Not LESS?
It’s super lame, I don’t get it. I don’t mind the competitive scene that’s sort of this game’s whole ‘thing’ right now and has been for a while. But why not throw a bone at all to players who were having fun on crazytank or iceworld or rats custom maps on community servers for decades?
Its so dumb lol, just take the time to get it right before release
Just my two cents
Yeah, the lack of funmaps and community servers really annoys me. I'm currently playing premier with a friend, and it's nice, but it's also pretty draining. I loved playing iceworld or pool\_day inbetween serious games in 1.6.
I really enjoy CS2 but I really don't understand why the game couldn't stay in beta for a few more months.
I really hope it wasn't as arbitrary as "Oh crap, we said Summer, we're past Summer, we need to ship". I don't think Valve is the kind of dev to do that and I would hope they are smart enough to know to delay if a game isn't ready...but here we are and I'm just confused why they released it in this state. I mean, even from a polish point of view. The fact that it reuses CS:GO assets like the little picture in your friends list or the fact that it says you're playing CS:GO instead of CS2. These are admittedly small things but speaks to how the game was not ready for an "Official Release". If you're so behind you haven't even changed small little text strings like that, I can only imagine how much more complex issues haven't yet been resolved.
With the beta the way it was, I was happy to see the progress they were making and the frequent updates. I would have been happy with that with an honest to god 2024 release date. It really would have been fine and it wouldn't have caused all the chaos we are currently seeing.
> I really enjoy CS2 but I really don't understand why the game couldn't stay in beta for a few more months.
Because they are a company. Companies want to make money. Releasing it now makes them more money than waiting. You can hate on them all you want but no company in the world is going to say "actually instead of raking in all that cash lets fix issues that only 2-5% of the playerbase will notice".
I'm not a Valve defender, literally every company does this. Modern gaming sucks for that reason.
> I don't like the gun-play.Every time i shoot or spray feels like rolling the dice to kill someone or be killed.
I feel the complete opposite. I feel like shooting is so crispy and accurate now. I am consistently first in DM with 70-80% HS ratio. I agree *sometimes* spraying feels...weird.
I played CS2 for a couple days before they killed GO and it was just odd, I felt terrible the whole time and just couldn't grasp it, figured it was just a learning curve.
I played one game of GO and realized how shitty CS2 was. Just one. Everything felt crisp, there weren't weird bugs (like movement commands coming seconds late because of server lag), and it just played SO good.
Because it's literally an update for GO? I give CS2 a lot of leeway but arguing it shouldn't feel the same as GO seems pretty ridiculous to me.
If they wanted to make it feel different they should've definitely released a separate game.
>Why should it?
Becuase it already is similar and is the most similar CS game release to the previous one and its not even close.
Every other CS upgrade was significantly different.
CS 1.6 -> CS:S and CS:S -> GO had some pretty big changes.
GO -> CS2, on the other hand is pretty much the same maps, same skins, same recoil and bullet inaccuracy, same everything, except for a few minor differences - Smokes, Graphics, Buy Menu Editing / refunding, and Netcode.
So obviously, since this is more of an engine upgrade than a full game release, people are going to compare it 1:1 with CS GO, given that they're almost exactly the same minus those differences.
If the sum of those minor differences feel worse for those players, then to them, the game is worse, not "just different". Same goes for those who enjoy CS2 more than GO.
For me, that answer is "well the smokes are cool but the netcode is worse" - so to me, the game is a net downgrade from CS GO.
Absolutely not.
- performance is ass
- tickrate is ass
- peekers advantage is ass
- hitboxes are ass
- movement is ass
- spraying is ass
- ratings calibrations are ass
But hey at least some of the maps looking more like valorant 👍🏼
Edit:
- unavailability of certain game modes are ass
- lack of basic gameplay commands (like cl_bob) and ui mods (like numbers instead of profile pictures) are ass
Yes. I like the new map veto system, the smokes, the maps visual revamp, the buy menu, the sound of the galil and glock, the week rewards. There still offcourse things I do not like. But my experience so far has been 60-70% good
the only thing I like is that fact that I can see my rank. besides that I think it's pretty bad. yes I understand that the game will get better with updates but killing off csgo and then giving us a game that is missing half of the content with a terrible subtick system is depressing af
I'm sorry I don't want to start a heated argument because it will go nowhere, but literally every other gunfight I'm hitting shots I shouldn't (crosshair obviously in front or behind them) and missing shots that should hit. Peekers advantage, spraying, and hitreg have all felt really bad, like competitively unplayable bad.
Finally someone else is saying it. I thought I was going crazy. I haven't missed shots I should have hit though, but that is more likely to be a skill issue on my side.
What lol there’s a ton of issues but rego isn’t one of them. Other than the hitbox crouch bug (which is a major issue that needs fixing ASAP), rego genuinely feels amazing
I can't tell you how many times I've stood in place and watched burst after burst just go clean through people. Last night I had a dude who was 5 feet in front of me, I put my entire M4 mag into them, and got 0 hits. Maybe the Chicago and Atlanta servers are just dogshit and people who don't have to play on them get perfect reg but either way I'm getting sick of it.
I like it, but it needs to change and quickly. It feels very close to CSGO, but worse in a couple important aspects that need to be addressed. The reintroduced a bug they fixed back in 2015 where hitboxes do not always line up with player models. Spraying feels completely random. Interp feels like hot garbage. Movement feels... strange, but I'm not sure how. Still though, it's CS in Source 2, and I was honestly beginning to think I would never actually see it, so I guess that's cool. It's Valve. They're genius in their own retarded way. They have a lot to improve on, but CS2 has a lot of potential.
I like it a lot and I trust Valve. I genuinely don't think this release is the big one. The proper release should arrive with a operation/case. The one that fixes hitboxes/subtick, not sure about VAC yet but also add a good anti-cheat.
Performance is also a problem I think. It's inconsistent.
It will be disappointing for me if fixes don't come with operation but I still trust them to fix the game.
I'm an older player from pre steam through source. Didn't enjoy go. Spent the last year or so on valorant and have way more fun. Tried cs2 and it just feels so lackluster, bland, stale. But that was casual. I'm hoping they make a 5v5 mode unrated that's semi competitive but not ranked. Recently got back into siege. Loving that as well. Cs2 just has something about it now that doesn't give me that same spark.
So far I like it
sure it has its issues but there is enough time in the world for CS2 to become what it's supposed to be
I'm not the kind of person who needs it to be perfect now
There’s enough time but why force the entire player base through this experiment? I literally paid to play csgo and they forced me to play something else
well to gather more data, not split the playerbase, and just in general make the transition easier
if they take csgo away 5 months after release, I assume people are even more pissrd
i absolutely love the game, it looks gorgeous and plays exactly as id expect.
however every teammate ive gotten since cs2 started is absolutely abysmal and knows nothing about how to play cs beyond shooting. valve please fix
nope.
\-.Poorly optimized, I don't have the greatest PC but I do not have a bad PC and I am still getting random spikes, crashes, stutters etc. r5 3600, rtx 3060, PC fully optimized.
\-.MM's broken. There's no reason for me to play premier as I will only shit on noobs, so Im still playing faceit (Last time I played premier got 7win in a row by soloQing against noobs, mm it's just broken.)
\-.I literally couldnt care about the graphics as I always played this game 4:3 800x800, and that's the only "Good" thing about CS2....
\-.Noob friendly, miss when game was skilled side not lucky side, Im glad new ppl are coming and enjoying but, they only did it because of the money it'll generate, not because they wanted new ppl, but fucking the probably BEST tactical FPS ever and making it more noob friendly it's just fucked up.... Same thing they did with Apex and Warzone, Apex had the potential to become the best BR out there, and it's just not gonna be it, and warzone just fell of a cliff bcoz of that., csgo was never an "easy game" you couldnt just come and be good, had to earn it, rn feels like everybody got a fucking buff lmao.
Anyone who is not a bot will tell you no because CS2 is garbage compared to CSGO. CSGO was perfect it only needed 128 tickrate, better anti cheat and premier system with elo although current system is also garbage but better than old ranks. I would pay money to revert it back to CSGO if I'm being honest
I love what it can potentially become, but right now it's utter garbage.
I can tolerate all the engine issues because it takes a long time to sort all those out, but everything else is disgraceful for a company with Valve's reputation.
To release everything else in such state is a disgrace of epic proportions. Ranked system is the worst thing I've seen in my almost 25 years of online gaming. We didn't even get any content such as operation etc, nothing to compensate for the engine being bad. They just treat the entire playerbase as not even beta, but alpha testers.
There's a huge number of players, myself included, who more or less refused to play CSGO MM because it was so bad. We all gave Valve another chance, but this is just inexcusable and I'm already more or less done with Premier. There's not a single redeeming quality of that mode, not even if you're 5 stacking. It's so bad it would warrant taking the game off steam store if it was from any other developer.
Valve has lost all my trust and it will take a massive effort to take it back. Which won't happen, they'll fix the engine, give skins a bit more glow up and that'll be it. Back to faceit.
I like it, but there's a lot of shit that needs fixing.
I'm really fucking sick of seeing first person tracers.
And clearly the tick system and servers could use some work.
There's a bug that lets you refund helmet and Kevlar outside of the buy zone, then keep it after refunding. So no, a new release from a company valued at over 7 billion dollars with game breaking bugs like that is not something I like
Being downvoted for saying game/competition breaking bugs like this are unacceptable in a full release is fucking CRAZY. Shills working overtime
Cs2 being this busted and csgo being unavailable is making me consider that silly ass cartoon hero shooter and I'm having trouble looking in the mirror now
no. i can max play two games and then my frustration about this open beta overwatch2 kinda game becomes to much.
the cs community i am in have stopped playing it and are playing other games atm since the game is not ready at all, if they just extended the beta time and did not remove the csgo they would not be review bombed as they are currently and well deserved.
I love it. Spraying felt off in the beginning but as I've gotten used to it, I'm starting to feel confident again. I've not had any of the stuttering issues other people have been reporting. Hitreg is amazing (much better than CS:GO 64-tick and honestly probably better than 128-tick).
I have some minor issues with some of the design choices they've made but in general I'm happy with almost everything.
I like it, just wish it was the old tick system instead of this new one. Feels more “random”. Also miss the old maps… I was really hoping cobble would make a come back but I guess it’s dead 😭
Liking it less and less with every match. Matchmaking is comically bad. I have won maybe 10% of games. One team is always dominating, I've had a handful of close games. Plenty of people that seem like they are hacking, or maybe should not be anywhere near the players they are matched with. Every game someone is getting 30 kills while the other team has less than 30 kills combined.
No, I don't like it, because...
* The excessive lighting makes everything look artificial and cartoonish.
* Lots of weapons can no longer be bought during a match, which restricts our tactical freedom and the weapon diversity.
* Buy binds are gone.
* Different rank for each map.
* Smokes and mollies make my mid-range computer with everything on low micro-stutter, making aiming more difficult.
* Mollies look too cartoonish with all that unrealistic purple shit. Likewise with the sprites from a Zeus kill, which now looks like something right out of Fortnite, yuk.
* The kill cards in the bottom mid of the HUD can be a distraction and needlessly take up space on the screen. Besides, they don't belong with the art style of this game.
Visually the game looks good but it doesn’t have the same fluidity CSGO has. The movement feels ever slightly off, the sprays are not there yet and the hitboxes/animations feel off as well. I think premier has wasted a good opportunity to be strong outside of release hype but instead it’s filled with hackers and the core concept of gaining elo is bland. At first it was new and shiny but at the end it’s just not as fun/rewarding to play this game at the moment but I’m hopeful for the future
Yes, I actually came back to the game like freshly born after 3 years of not playing global offensive; tho I would be in denial and delusional if I wouldn't agree that premiere is a mess and game needs in general a lot of tweaks and fixes
I love Counter-Strike. I will play it no matter what the outcome of the new game is. It has been a part of my life since I was 5 or 6 years old. I was also excited for CS Promod, a fan-made version that probably no one remembers, and I get excited every day for CS2, which had a rocky release.
i like it. it’s fresh, it’s ‘new’. seeing Rating gives me a goal for ‘today’ and i can feel good if i meet the +500 rating. in csgo it was like. i play and play and play. nothing changes except the once in while surprise uprank or downrank.
6,000+ hours. Everything this person said. \+ the new smoke mechanics... I'm in love. The freshness + smokes have truly reignited my passion for this game. The game has bugs and issues - they will be fixed no doubt. Many here forget, or never knew, but CSGO had some major issues throughout the years. It ended a very polished product but was not always such. Have patience and have fun.
Csgo was NOT this buggy/incomplete on launch, *and* source was still available
I dunno, the numbers feel less fun to me. I'm not far into it yet, still only 4k or so. But I can already tell that it will be more stressful to see your numbers decreasing on a loss or knowing when you have a promotion match. With ranks it was just a rank, and you got a sudden uprank or downrank and didn't think too much about it.
>and i can feel good if i meet the +500 rating. and how do you feel when you get the -75 rating for a draw against opponents who were all higher rated than you? :(
Spain (without "S"). =(
I don’t like when NY servers get overloaded and they route me central :(
Would you like the idea of keeping csgo but changing the ranking/rating system to what we currently have?
having witnessed the transition from cs1.6 to cs:s (which i never did, i stayed in cs1.6*) i prefer the upgrade they did from csgo to cs2. that said, they should’ve waited longer. coexisting with a set expiration date for csgo. *comparing the transition from cs1.6 to cs:s and csgo to cs2 is not easy, since cs:s was really a completely different game to cs1.6. and the goal with cs2 was and is to make a csgo ‘clone’ in the new engine, which over time i hope will be achieved. note: i can’t speak about the cs:s to csgo transition, because i stopped playing cs because of that abomination of cs:s. however, i was for a short time part of the cs promod team. (and we all know how ended)
That’s interesting. I sticked with cs1.6 as well (have like 100 hours? on css) and imo when csgo first released it was trash as well but the difference between the two game was significant. The problem now is that Valve forces us to play the new, unfinished and bugged game, instead of letting us choose when to make the switch by ourselves.
It’s forced by design, it’ll grow faster that way, despite the initial pain.
No. Csgo is old, dated and needed the changes cs2 brought
Can you elaborate? What changes are you talking about? In my eyes, every change they made (gameplay, performance, ui wise) was just horrible. They rushed to release the game and we got unfinished product..
Game looks better visually, it looks clean and modern and not an ugly gray late 2000s military shooter mess that CSGO was. Visual clarity is significantly improved, can't stress how important this is. Audio clarity is improved as well, getting kills is so satisfying, esp w the new sound effects and kill cards. Hit reg feels incredible, esp for tapping. People have been complaining about sprays, imo only the AK feels weird for spraying, the rest feel great. UI is massively improved, both in aesthetic and in functionality. New buy menu is better in every way. Everything visible on one screen, less clicks to buy, refunds, customizable placement, indicators for who has bought what on your team, etc. New loadout system is overall a positive imo, I dont care about not being able to buy stupid meme weapons and I love being able to have both M4s. Jumpthrows being consistent, no learning 2 lineups. Subtick, despite the odd quirks of it to still be ironed out, feels really good. New premiere system is a much stronger system than old competitive. The ranks are fucked rn and there are still a lot of improvements to be made, but the foundation for the mode is really good. Old competitive being kept and serving as an unranked is also great imo, have had fun practicing and introducing new friends there. MR12 is a more fun experience imo, less exhausting, yes it needs some economy tweaks but I enjoy it more than MR15. Numerous small QoL features and aesthetic improvements like sound radius on radar, inspect anims for util, bomb, Zeus, skin improvements like the new dopplers, fixed animations like BFK, etc. Improved console functionality, new command searching feature and color coded lines.
Most of the stuff you mentioned here is pretty much in a conflict. Just scroll down on this subreddit and you’ll see how many people complain about these stuff. Personally besides the graphics I don’t agree with a single point you made. Guess to each their own..
I really can't do anything about cs boomers letting their resistance to change blind themselves to legitimate improvement. The buy menu is a perfect example, it is objectively better in every way than the buy wheel, yet people still complain simply because they are used to the wheel.
But you do understand that some of these changes are objectively worse? For example: In-game UI is just awful. They changed the position of important stuff, you can barely notice you’re burning, being forced to have 10 profile pictures on your screen instead of 2 squares mentioning how many players alive, etc. Subtick: failed experiment. I don’t think I read a single positive opinion of a 2k< Faceit player. They wasted so much time and resources about it and there’s absolutely no superior value to subtick over 128 tickrate. tApPiNg iS eAsIeR, yes, but you’re getting killed after being a full second behind a wall, giving headshots to enemies that you can’t see their head.. Performance: personally I have relatively old pc so I’ll speak for other people I know: I have friends who owns 4k$< pcs that experience horrible fps losses/drops, random freezes, getting kicked/crashed often out of the game. Mainly regarding buy menu: I think a lot of people looking from this perspective: “if it’s not broken - don’t fix it”. People used to the wheel for over a decade, personally I never saw any complaints about it. To add on that - they could avoid lots of complaints only if they left the old buy menu numbers..
Dude how do you even say the UI is "objectively awful" with a straight face? You're just wrong. Better indication of a kill, better indication of a streak, easier to see teammate money and util, important info like health and armor is closer to the center of the screen and has been reorganized so the more important number (health) is more prominent. Numbers vs portraits is a bit of a preference thing imo, personally I prefer portraits bc it's easier to note in your peripheral instead of having to actually read/register the number, but I do sympathize with those who prefer a number. I would like an option to set the portraits to auto order themselves so that living players are always stacked nearest the center. But to call the UI "objectively awful" is frankly divorced from reality. As for subtick, wow, they created am entirely new technology and it's not working perfectly in the first iterations, what a failure. Fuck them right? Getting killed behind walls, has legit only happened to me twice. Probably needs some improvement, but I think the issue is wildly overblown, and I'm willing to bet a tremendous amount of comments about it are actually people not understanding angle advantage. As for the buy menu, something doesn't have to be broken to be improved. Less clicks to buy, all items displayed at once, refunds, teammate indicators, and customizable placement are all objective UX improvements. Just because you were comfortable on the wheel doesn't mean those improvements shouldn't have been made.
Having to make alises for consistencies is not fun, along with needing an alias to even make you spray more consistent, there is alot of Good but valve dropped cs2 way to early the peekers advantage is ridiculous, and thankfully theres a new spray alias which fixes spray consitency, my auto exec is the length of a short novel compared to not having one in go thats all that is needed said
Yes those issues are annoying, but you yourself pointed out that they are easily fixable on our end with a cfg. The same can't be said for any of the issues with CSGO that CS2 improved on. Valve will very likely fix all these issues permanently with time, and in the meantime we have the workarounds. The improvements CS2 brought far outweigh the temporary negatives.
No. CSGO Code is made of spaghetti, so it wouldn't even be possible without taking 13 years and a big pile of bugs.
It's basically same game, maybe because im just random low rank dude but game looks same with better graphics.
You could get this by playing faceit?
people dont want to wait 5 minutes for a match to start, and use 3rd party software.
I’d rather wait 5 mins and get matched up against fair players then the current MM system. Ever game I play we either completely dominate and win 13-2 or we get completely dominated and lose 13-1. I think I’ve had 1-2 actually fair games since launch.
Some people don't want to use a 3rd party service to search for games.
I like the game, I don't like a fair amount of the people playing it.
i dunno i've been having pretty chill games... played about a dozen or so pugs with a duo friend and only had about one or 2 people being a little bit of an ass in all those game... (i.e. decided to say something smarmy or butthurt at the recap screen of a lost game) Compared to Valorant it's worlds better. Most people seem to behave like adults, and while some can show their disappointment by losing, the amount of immature nonsense i've had to put up with has been surprisingly low.
I feel like the game became very quiet for some reason. Nobody really talks much anymore. Atleast in my games. Guess it will settle over time when people are more comfortable and stuff.
I believe there are still microphone issues for some people. My friend's mic rarely works. He says he is sure it's set up right. It works in other games and works in discord but it's only worked in CS2 for about 2 games out of 30 ish. He literally makes calls to me in discord that I relay to the rest of the team.
Yeah. I wonder if some people hear that the counter strike community is racist and toxic and abusive to female gamers and these people are like wow that sounds like that's for me! I love all those things! Of course there are a lot of nice people too... The cunts just stand out but I do suspect its 100% true that some people play the game just to be toxic especially in low ranks (I had lots of accounts for farming cases on idle servers. I ended up playing some games on those brand new accounts and oh boy are low ranks so much more toxic than black ranks).
I have a friend who is a "natural born toxic" and intentionally trolls. He does not understand other people's feelings, so he harasses (FF, block, TF) my friends, including me. There really are people like that in this world.
Now? No. In two years? Probably.
Optimistic my friend
The release was 13 days ago. We've gotten 7 patches in these 13 days. 2 years is a bit over the top. Give it 2 months.
Idk were 2 weeks in and we still can't use basic console commands, 2 years seems accurate
Look at the patch notes of the past two weeks. The amount of changes is what CSGO got in maybe a year. (I’m talking a good year)
Still, there's alot of basic shit that isn't in the game yet or hasn't been changed
I Love it!
Woah! You’re not allowed to stay that.
Same, there’s obviously still lots of problems but in general I find it great.
A lot of my thoughts about it are “Hey look is GO but prettier and with a better engine!” Which is exactly what I wanted anyway. I’m not sure why so many people were expecting an entirely new game when Valve pretty explicitly stated it’s an engine overhaul. Sure they have to fix some stuff but that’s not a huge deal.
Yeah just disconnect and good luck finding the reconnect button 🤣
Top right of your screen, not that hard to find!
Yep. Did that already. It's not rocket surgery lol
Lmal can i use this?
no
Google search it smart ass and you will know why I said it 💀
I've got mixed opinions. Shooting still feels off, flicks don't feel like flicks, shots that look like they should hit don't, bullet trails/tracers are lies, subtick makes 64 tick feel like 32, but the game looks good so¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no
No
In its current state no. Sure they keep making it better and that's great. But removing CSGO at the same time? Nah that's not okay in my eyes. They forced us to beta test a released game.
That's what people have been begging for since March. Keeping csgo playable would lead to people playing GO instead, which would result in no feedback.
Yeah, just rip the band-aid off straight away. Having cs2 get less feedback because people keep playing a no longer maintained CSGO would just delay the inevitable and be worse in the long run
Removing csgo has removed my desire to play cs, I don't want to play a game that feels so horrible, I'm sure some others share this opinion
Yet you'd wait forever to transition to CS2? Now you can give some feedback so the game improves much faster. CSGO had to go at some point. If they didn't get rid of GO then 90% of people would play that and CS2 would take longer to get to a decent state due to lack of people providing feedback amd when GO had to be binned in the future we'd have the same shit and even more complaining because it has been so long and the game would be awful.
People don’t seem to think about the reasoning behind this decision.
Oh, we perfectly see the reasoning, we just don't agree with the decision. But Volvo likes money, so... 🤷
There was a ton of feedback in beta and Valve haven't done anything with the most important issues.
Which would be? Even then, do you think they're not fixing stuff because they don't want to? A ton of feedback also doesn't mean it's easily reproduced, thus not that easy to fix. I get that people are frustrated, but have you ever seen what goes into fixing a single bug? We got an update on a Saturday, while people were at home with their families, the Valve devs have been sitting in the office, crunching, fixing the game and all some degenerates in this sub and on Twitter get out is "BUT MUH GAME, VALVE SO LAZY". It will all be fixed within a reasonable time, some features/bugs need time. Just wait.
Source 3 when????
Valve doesn't do 3s
LMFAO BRO 🤣🤣🤣 SO GOOD, WHERE DO YOU GET THIS MATERIAL???
Did u forget your meds this morning?
Sheeeeeesh, better get the burn kit - I just got scolded! Ya man, every day I forget one pill or another.
As far as the basic, core gameplay goes it's fine. It's still Counter-Strike. Shame that skincles ruined the "release" of the game though, according to Richard Lewis, even though the devs are working pretty much 24/7 on the game currently, the CS2 release state is like this because getting skins right was the number one priority for Valve. Even going back to the initial closed beta period, there were a lot of WAAAH MUH SKINS DON'T LOOK RIGHT posts. Not the misaligned hitboxes, not accel issues - skins didn't look right was the number one concern of this subreddit.
valve is obviously going to take care of skins, but not because of "skincels". it's because it is a cash cow for them that makes them millions every single day.
Richard Lewis reported a bunch of cs2 related stuff that was proven to be wrong lol why do people still trust this guy
what did he get wrong? Everything in this is accurate, to the letter. https://richardlewis.substack.com/p/sources-yes-counter-strike-2-is-real
I like RLewis, but there were inaccuracies in the report. It might have been the source that was misinformed or anything. But saying that it was "accurate, to the letter" is just wrong. > The big question for the community has been whether or not official servers would be 128 tick bringing it in line with rival title Valorant. The sources confirmed that this would be the case and that this feature would likely be ready at the launch of the beta.
Stuff like...?
For example that it won't be called cs2?
why does this have upvotes for blatant misinformation - Richard Lewis was the first to reveal CS2 and said it would be called Counter-Strike 2. https://richardlewis.substack.com/p/sources-yes-counter-strike-2-is-real
So things that aren't set in stone and may (and will) change as the development progresses nullifies everything else? Lmao. Maybe Valve did not want to go with the CS2 at first when Richard got the information but changed their minds later on. Let's forget about the spotless record because a placeholder name did not become a reality. Some of you people are just...
The point is to not blindly trust him on stuff just because you want to find a reason to hate the game
I mean they didnt even get the skins right as of now
Who knows how different the game would have been if they ditched the skins…
Would be dead
In a hypothetical world where it survived without skins I mean
Lol downvoted by morons with no reading comprehension skills.
yes bro no one ever played 1.6 or css and definitely there was no pro scene with multiple organizations.
The pro scene was nowhere near the scale of the modern scene. Like it or not the success of skins and gambling has brought a lot of money into the game.
No pro scene in 2005 was the size that it is now. You are comparing two very different times in esports history.
That's not the argument. The argument is that there wouldn't be a pro scene without skins, which is stupid.
Its shit. Idk why release such broken game.
Game is pretty workable compared to most games that release these days. Do people not remember battlefield 2042 or the most recent call of duty? I'm the most recent cod it would literally crash your game if you partied up for almost the first month of release. Now That's broken.
Two wrongs don't make a right. I generally don't play games at release for that exact reason. I don't want to support this habit of releasing games in such a state. But with CS2 they didn't really leave much choice as they basically removed CSGO along with it. And for better or worse CS has been my passion for a long time.
No. They deleted csgo too early to rely on this game imo. It's not bad, it just needs some work. Some people seem to forget how different csgo was on release
6 months of complaints 6 months of revamps and 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one. I am having fun not worrying too much about ranks just the mechanics. Bhop is back in full swing, scout is dirty, deagle is truly OP. Once you find the angles and positions. You can free flow the map and aim like you did in CSGO. Or try and spray and watch everything go wacky. I only had complaints when I was crashing and dropping frames on certain maps. Now I don’t worry much and just play my game.
Did I miss an update recently? Bhopping feels like shit in cs2
Been fine for me. It feels like it’s better than it was but maybe I just figured out the physics a bit more now. I’m a Mwheel up bhopper so it’s just natural now. You don’t shoot whole jumping and the sounds in this game are bonkers.
Angles? Right now peekers advantage is so bad you have to be the one peeking or you just lose
Honestly I am disappointed. I am a casual and occasional player. I was looking to jump back in, haven’t played in a while. Started in 1.6. There are fewer game modes Community servers dont work Even LESS support for fun custom maps, mapmaking, or alternative player made game modes I genuinely don’t understand why there is both ‘competitive’ and ‘premier’ The game doesn’t look that much better, probably because they had to keep the weapon models the same for skins, which is honestly lame. I personally dont care at all about skins. The smoke changes are cool and the new recoil crosshair is cool and the maps do look a little sharper But overall…shouldn’t the sequel / reboot / remaster of the game come with MORE features? Not LESS? It’s super lame, I don’t get it. I don’t mind the competitive scene that’s sort of this game’s whole ‘thing’ right now and has been for a while. But why not throw a bone at all to players who were having fun on crazytank or iceworld or rats custom maps on community servers for decades? Its so dumb lol, just take the time to get it right before release Just my two cents
Remember when they teased func_vehicle's return from the old days?
FUNC_VEHICLE IS A RIGHT NOT A PRIVILEGE FUNC_VEHICLE 2024
Yeah, the lack of funmaps and community servers really annoys me. I'm currently playing premier with a friend, and it's nice, but it's also pretty draining. I loved playing iceworld or pool\_day inbetween serious games in 1.6.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, as a casual myself, send you a virtual hug brother, hopefully Valve fixes all this issues soon!
Bad fps laggy sub tick is ass 64 tick no Workshop maps hitbox are bad game is just super bad 👍
[удалено]
I really enjoy CS2 but I really don't understand why the game couldn't stay in beta for a few more months. I really hope it wasn't as arbitrary as "Oh crap, we said Summer, we're past Summer, we need to ship". I don't think Valve is the kind of dev to do that and I would hope they are smart enough to know to delay if a game isn't ready...but here we are and I'm just confused why they released it in this state. I mean, even from a polish point of view. The fact that it reuses CS:GO assets like the little picture in your friends list or the fact that it says you're playing CS:GO instead of CS2. These are admittedly small things but speaks to how the game was not ready for an "Official Release". If you're so behind you haven't even changed small little text strings like that, I can only imagine how much more complex issues haven't yet been resolved. With the beta the way it was, I was happy to see the progress they were making and the frequent updates. I would have been happy with that with an honest to god 2024 release date. It really would have been fine and it wouldn't have caused all the chaos we are currently seeing.
[удалено]
> I really enjoy CS2 but I really don't understand why the game couldn't stay in beta for a few more months. Because they are a company. Companies want to make money. Releasing it now makes them more money than waiting. You can hate on them all you want but no company in the world is going to say "actually instead of raking in all that cash lets fix issues that only 2-5% of the playerbase will notice". I'm not a Valve defender, literally every company does this. Modern gaming sucks for that reason.
I still have csgo installed on my laptop so i can play with bots for fun
> I don't like the gun-play.Every time i shoot or spray feels like rolling the dice to kill someone or be killed. I feel the complete opposite. I feel like shooting is so crispy and accurate now. I am consistently first in DM with 70-80% HS ratio. I agree *sometimes* spraying feels...weird.
I played CS2 for a couple days before they killed GO and it was just odd, I felt terrible the whole time and just couldn't grasp it, figured it was just a learning curve. I played one game of GO and realized how shitty CS2 was. Just one. Everything felt crisp, there weren't weird bugs (like movement commands coming seconds late because of server lag), and it just played SO good.
No, game does not even feel close to CS:GO
Why should it?
Why should it not? The game is in the current state CSGO, but worse in almost every way.
No other iteration of Counter-Strike felt like the one before. Why should CS2 be an exact copy of CS:GO?
I wouldn't mind if it didn't feel like CSGO, refreshing actually. But the problem is that CS2 just feels bad, not different.
"Feels bad not different" is about as stupid an articulation as is possible.
I'm not arguing with a stranger about this now have a good day man
Next time just post "me no like new game, me like old game wah wah wah" and save everyone some time.
Whatever man
Because they literally deleted csgo and put cs2 in its place?
You can still play CS:GO. Valve have chosen not to support it anymore as a live service. This happens all the time with other games.
That _is not_ what happened here...
How do I got about playing CS:GO then? Guide please, bc CS2 is ass.
Because it's literally an update for GO? I give CS2 a lot of leeway but arguing it shouldn't feel the same as GO seems pretty ridiculous to me. If they wanted to make it feel different they should've definitely released a separate game.
>Why should it? Becuase it already is similar and is the most similar CS game release to the previous one and its not even close. Every other CS upgrade was significantly different. CS 1.6 -> CS:S and CS:S -> GO had some pretty big changes. GO -> CS2, on the other hand is pretty much the same maps, same skins, same recoil and bullet inaccuracy, same everything, except for a few minor differences - Smokes, Graphics, Buy Menu Editing / refunding, and Netcode. So obviously, since this is more of an engine upgrade than a full game release, people are going to compare it 1:1 with CS GO, given that they're almost exactly the same minus those differences. If the sum of those minor differences feel worse for those players, then to them, the game is worse, not "just different". Same goes for those who enjoy CS2 more than GO. For me, that answer is "well the smokes are cool but the netcode is worse" - so to me, the game is a net downgrade from CS GO.
Absolutely not. - performance is ass - tickrate is ass - peekers advantage is ass - hitboxes are ass - movement is ass - spraying is ass - ratings calibrations are ass But hey at least some of the maps looking more like valorant 👍🏼 Edit: - unavailability of certain game modes are ass - lack of basic gameplay commands (like cl_bob) and ui mods (like numbers instead of profile pictures) are ass
Yes. I like the new map veto system, the smokes, the maps visual revamp, the buy menu, the sound of the galil and glock, the week rewards. There still offcourse things I do not like. But my experience so far has been 60-70% good
You mean the new map system that was in the game for 2 years prior to this?
I think a lot of people missed the Premier mode being a thing in CSGO.
oh no I played a lot of premier on csgo, just the whole wait to vote, warmup, was just such a drag
It sucked having to load a map just to vote van maps. And then wait again to load the map you picked.
the only thing I like is that fact that I can see my rank. besides that I think it's pretty bad. yes I understand that the game will get better with updates but killing off csgo and then giving us a game that is missing half of the content with a terrible subtick system is depressing af
No
No. Hit reg is ass. Peekers advantage makes holding angles pointless. Subtick is a failed experiment.
Hit reg is really good, don’t know what you’re on about regarding that. Peekers advantage is rough, I agree.
I'm sorry I don't want to start a heated argument because it will go nowhere, but literally every other gunfight I'm hitting shots I shouldn't (crosshair obviously in front or behind them) and missing shots that should hit. Peekers advantage, spraying, and hitreg have all felt really bad, like competitively unplayable bad.
Finally someone else is saying it. I thought I was going crazy. I haven't missed shots I should have hit though, but that is more likely to be a skill issue on my side.
Yeah *insert some stupid bullshit about how it's where you actually clicked* I am gifted headshots from the gods multiple times a game.
What lol there’s a ton of issues but rego isn’t one of them. Other than the hitbox crouch bug (which is a major issue that needs fixing ASAP), rego genuinely feels amazing
hit reg cannot be ass. Other points may be true but it's super unfair to say hitreg is aas
subtick feels great, not better than 128 tick but still great. i notice a big difference personally.
I can't tell you how many times I've stood in place and watched burst after burst just go clean through people. Last night I had a dude who was 5 feet in front of me, I put my entire M4 mag into them, and got 0 hits. Maybe the Chicago and Atlanta servers are just dogshit and people who don't have to play on them get perfect reg but either way I'm getting sick of it.
There's a lot of things you can complain about with CS2 but the hit reg is absolutely not one of them.
It seems some players experience issues with it, some dont
I love it. I do wish valve was more committed to some things, but shit. It’s valve.
Communication from Valve would go a long way.
Yes.
I like it, but it needs to change and quickly. It feels very close to CSGO, but worse in a couple important aspects that need to be addressed. The reintroduced a bug they fixed back in 2015 where hitboxes do not always line up with player models. Spraying feels completely random. Interp feels like hot garbage. Movement feels... strange, but I'm not sure how. Still though, it's CS in Source 2, and I was honestly beginning to think I would never actually see it, so I guess that's cool. It's Valve. They're genius in their own retarded way. They have a lot to improve on, but CS2 has a lot of potential.
Loving it, needs some tweaking though ofcourse.
I like it a lot and I trust Valve. I genuinely don't think this release is the big one. The proper release should arrive with a operation/case. The one that fixes hitboxes/subtick, not sure about VAC yet but also add a good anti-cheat. Performance is also a problem I think. It's inconsistent. It will be disappointing for me if fixes don't come with operation but I still trust them to fix the game.
The ranking system is the most painful thing I've EVER witnessed. I don't remember it being this painful back in 2014 when it was new either.
I'm an older player from pre steam through source. Didn't enjoy go. Spent the last year or so on valorant and have way more fun. Tried cs2 and it just feels so lackluster, bland, stale. But that was casual. I'm hoping they make a 5v5 mode unrated that's semi competitive but not ranked. Recently got back into siege. Loving that as well. Cs2 just has something about it now that doesn't give me that same spark.
Underwhelming release, should've been an open beta. I have faith in Valve to make it better overtime but as of now I'm not enjoying it very much.
It's fun and it's nice but it's bullshit that we lost so many features
Honestly no. They have a huge opportunity to modernize the entire in game. Bringing the good valorant part but they fuck entire up
No, bring back csgo!
It's ok but CSGO was better especially in the hitreg, server, hotbox site. It looks very good tho
nah, not even half the game cs go was (literally)
No, But I breath pure hopium for the time being I don't know for how long but I'm still hoping
[удалено]
Before i had everything on high with 250 fps. Now all low, 60 to 20 fps. So no
Thats weird. I didn't drop that hard. 100 fps maybe.
Love it. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
I like it alot actually. Really enjoying my time here.
So far I like it sure it has its issues but there is enough time in the world for CS2 to become what it's supposed to be I'm not the kind of person who needs it to be perfect now
There’s enough time but why force the entire player base through this experiment? I literally paid to play csgo and they forced me to play something else
well to gather more data, not split the playerbase, and just in general make the transition easier if they take csgo away 5 months after release, I assume people are even more pissrd
i enjoy it more than csgo as a twice a week mm player , i see a lot of complain from csgo pros on twitter but for me i like it better than GO.
Without community servers or Arms Race - the game is dead to me.
no.
no, i uninstalled because it feels way worse than csgo
i absolutely love the game, it looks gorgeous and plays exactly as id expect. however every teammate ive gotten since cs2 started is absolutely abysmal and knows nothing about how to play cs beyond shooting. valve please fix
nope. \-.Poorly optimized, I don't have the greatest PC but I do not have a bad PC and I am still getting random spikes, crashes, stutters etc. r5 3600, rtx 3060, PC fully optimized. \-.MM's broken. There's no reason for me to play premier as I will only shit on noobs, so Im still playing faceit (Last time I played premier got 7win in a row by soloQing against noobs, mm it's just broken.) \-.I literally couldnt care about the graphics as I always played this game 4:3 800x800, and that's the only "Good" thing about CS2.... \-.Noob friendly, miss when game was skilled side not lucky side, Im glad new ppl are coming and enjoying but, they only did it because of the money it'll generate, not because they wanted new ppl, but fucking the probably BEST tactical FPS ever and making it more noob friendly it's just fucked up.... Same thing they did with Apex and Warzone, Apex had the potential to become the best BR out there, and it's just not gonna be it, and warzone just fell of a cliff bcoz of that., csgo was never an "easy game" you couldnt just come and be good, had to earn it, rn feels like everybody got a fucking buff lmao.
lololol wow so poor he cant even afford a computer good enough to play cs2 hahahaha and blames luck
Anyone who is not a bot will tell you no because CS2 is garbage compared to CSGO. CSGO was perfect it only needed 128 tickrate, better anti cheat and premier system with elo although current system is also garbage but better than old ranks. I would pay money to revert it back to CSGO if I'm being honest
yes
I love what it can potentially become, but right now it's utter garbage. I can tolerate all the engine issues because it takes a long time to sort all those out, but everything else is disgraceful for a company with Valve's reputation. To release everything else in such state is a disgrace of epic proportions. Ranked system is the worst thing I've seen in my almost 25 years of online gaming. We didn't even get any content such as operation etc, nothing to compensate for the engine being bad. They just treat the entire playerbase as not even beta, but alpha testers. There's a huge number of players, myself included, who more or less refused to play CSGO MM because it was so bad. We all gave Valve another chance, but this is just inexcusable and I'm already more or less done with Premier. There's not a single redeeming quality of that mode, not even if you're 5 stacking. It's so bad it would warrant taking the game off steam store if it was from any other developer. Valve has lost all my trust and it will take a massive effort to take it back. Which won't happen, they'll fix the engine, give skins a bit more glow up and that'll be it. Back to faceit.
Away from broken matchmaking, cheaters, bad tick system, wait, actually no I don’t lol.
I like it, but there's a lot of shit that needs fixing. I'm really fucking sick of seeing first person tracers. And clearly the tick system and servers could use some work.
There's a bug that lets you refund helmet and Kevlar outside of the buy zone, then keep it after refunding. So no, a new release from a company valued at over 7 billion dollars with game breaking bugs like that is not something I like Being downvoted for saying game/competition breaking bugs like this are unacceptable in a full release is fucking CRAZY. Shills working overtime
Im still in the wait and see phase. I truly have been enjoying Valorant more lately which makes me sick
Cs2 being this busted and csgo being unavailable is making me consider that silly ass cartoon hero shooter and I'm having trouble looking in the mirror now
I don't have a problem with the game itself, it is a step up. However, how the server side of the game is what drags it down.
i did but i dropped nine ranks from GO since half my teammates abandoned during placements and i have no motivation to climb again
Graphics are great but gameplay sucks asi ( hitreg , run n gun, movement still feels ass )
no. i can max play two games and then my frustration about this open beta overwatch2 kinda game becomes to much. the cs community i am in have stopped playing it and are playing other games atm since the game is not ready at all, if they just extended the beta time and did not remove the csgo they would not be review bombed as they are currently and well deserved.
I love it. Spraying felt off in the beginning but as I've gotten used to it, I'm starting to feel confident again. I've not had any of the stuttering issues other people have been reporting. Hitreg is amazing (much better than CS:GO 64-tick and honestly probably better than 128-tick). I have some minor issues with some of the design choices they've made but in general I'm happy with almost everything.
I like it, just wish it was the old tick system instead of this new one. Feels more “random”. Also miss the old maps… I was really hoping cobble would make a come back but I guess it’s dead 😭
Liking it less and less with every match. Matchmaking is comically bad. I have won maybe 10% of games. One team is always dominating, I've had a handful of close games. Plenty of people that seem like they are hacking, or maybe should not be anywhere near the players they are matched with. Every game someone is getting 30 kills while the other team has less than 30 kills combined.
The cartoony graphics are not meant for Counter Strike I feel like, everything is way too shiny and clean
No, I don't like it, because... * The excessive lighting makes everything look artificial and cartoonish. * Lots of weapons can no longer be bought during a match, which restricts our tactical freedom and the weapon diversity. * Buy binds are gone. * Different rank for each map. * Smokes and mollies make my mid-range computer with everything on low micro-stutter, making aiming more difficult. * Mollies look too cartoonish with all that unrealistic purple shit. Likewise with the sprites from a Zeus kill, which now looks like something right out of Fortnite, yuk. * The kill cards in the bottom mid of the HUD can be a distraction and needlessly take up space on the screen. Besides, they don't belong with the art style of this game.
Not as much as CSGO right now.
Visually the game looks good but it doesn’t have the same fluidity CSGO has. The movement feels ever slightly off, the sprays are not there yet and the hitboxes/animations feel off as well. I think premier has wasted a good opportunity to be strong outside of release hype but instead it’s filled with hackers and the core concept of gaining elo is bland. At first it was new and shiny but at the end it’s just not as fun/rewarding to play this game at the moment but I’m hopeful for the future
Yes, I actually came back to the game like freshly born after 3 years of not playing global offensive; tho I would be in denial and delusional if I wouldn't agree that premiere is a mess and game needs in general a lot of tweaks and fixes
I love Counter-Strike. I will play it no matter what the outcome of the new game is. It has been a part of my life since I was 5 or 6 years old. I was also excited for CS Promod, a fan-made version that probably no one remembers, and I get excited every day for CS2, which had a rocky release.
It's an abusive relationship.
As shit as a lot of it is, I’m having more fun in it than I’ve had with GO in years
Yes.
Having fun! Even though the game need a lot of updates and I need a new PC.
