Recent Counter-Strike 2 Steam reviews give the CSGO sequel a ‘mixed’ rating, lower than Half-Life, Dota 2, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and every other Valve game.
Yes, exactly. I’ll play other games and so will many others. There are enough CS players still playing to make sustaining it worthwhile, but it won’t win over many new players when it feels extremely dated to play.
That’s exactly my point. In order for CS to feel like CS, it has to feel 20 years old. Fine for the existing players but everyone else will be playing other games. I wanted to get into CS2, but it’s not for me or many new players, it only appeals to the old players. I played CS before source, it is exactly the same game still. No thanks. This was supposed to be a sequel, not a graphical update.
Keeping every other gameplay element, just adding modern map design and gunplay into the mix would be a fuckin sweet game I’d play the eff out of. It would feel like a true sequel to CS, not just the latest version of the exact same game.
And they removed cs go so it’s not possible to play it anymore. We are all forced to play cs 2 or nothing now. In my case, I can’t play since it’s so laggy so I just lost a game I paid for and had 1000 hours in.
Oh I see, I personally haven’t had any performance issues and think the game looks gorgeous right now but to be honest I only played CS2 for like an hour and haven’t been playing csgo since they removed Iris from the competitive matchmaking. So I am not really the best judge for the game’s quality.
Merging reviews is really dubious though, I can kinda understand it as they replaced csgo’s store page with CS2’s but adding CS2 as a seperate game and adding it to the libraries of csgo owners would’ve been the better solution imo. I guess they didn’t want to bother with making csgo inventory tab compatible with the cs2 game.

I was hopping ng for something a bit more modernized, like ADS for every gun, and larger, better maps. It still feels 20 years old.
Then it wouldn’t be CS. There’d be no point playing it instead or something like R6
Yes, exactly. I’ll play other games and so will many others. There are enough CS players still playing to make sustaining it worthwhile, but it won’t win over many new players when it feels extremely dated to play.
CSGO felt even more outdated and was still consistently growing
If ADS and big maps is what you want then you want a fundamentally different game. Just play something else.

Did they forget that failed CCG that Valve was trying? Pretty sure that went into Mostly Negative for a bit too.
Never forget :-(
It was a great concept too, such a shame they killed it with monetization
Lol Artefact. I did forget about that
Yea, I forgot the name too, that’s why I didn’t name it. xD
They should just have made it a public beta instead of calling it a finalized release.
Personally, I miss Practice mode with friends and bots the most. I don’t care for the people online.
CS2 already has this mode
No, it doesn’t. Not with friends. They get disconnected and bot difficulty can’t be changed either. The skill command does nothing.
Last I checked there is still practice with bots, and community servers
Community servers don’t work yet. They haven’t released the server files.
I get so annoyed with the game. Constant stuttering and lagging.
And it’s completely wrong of them to merge the CS2 reviews into the cs go reviews and remove cs go. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.
Wait did they really merge the cs1 (meaning the game released in 2000) reviews or do you mean the csgo by cs1?
Ah sorry. They merged cs go reviews into cs 2.
And they removed cs go so it’s not possible to play it anymore. We are all forced to play cs 2 or nothing now. In my case, I can’t play since it’s so laggy so I just lost a game I paid for and had 1000 hours in.

are you on Linux? performance is absurdly bad on Linux…
Works fine for me on my end (Arch + Nvidia 3090).
Completey freezes a few seconds after I open it (arch + 3050ti), even just in the main menu, requiring a full restart.
Yes…
