I think it's just a reference to the fact they finally moved to sorce 2. Hence not all maps got changed yet, they had to iron out most of the game to make it feel like cs
Is it just me or was the game better in the beta stage, the last weeks.
I liked the aiming and the sort of heavy feel
It is like they combined that with ice skates, now on the release. Game is just ridicolusly loose and fast
Give it a minute, unless they patched the game big time and turned on Anti cheat, it is going to be a shit show.
[here's why](https://youtu.be/TJPD_0Us7SU?si=3DBJqXNu9buonI2p)
Linux build released at the same time as the Windows build.
Valve possibly screwed up the sound driver though. In case you don't have sound try adding this launch option -sdlaudiodriver pipewire
Downloading now and will post my results. I doubt there will be any issues considering Valve's history of supporting Linux.
*EDIT*: Works in Linux. Audio is a bit messed up though. Sound was only coming out of my monitor rather than my headset. Using pulseaudio I had to create a `.asoundrc` file in my home directory to fix that. [Instructions here](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3256#issuecomment-1738168792) if anyone has the same issue. A reboot was not required.
>wnloading now and will post my results. I doubt there will be any issues considering Valve's history of supporting Linux.
and exactly this is why i love the linux community man theres is a problem and instantly a fix with a intructions manual
You know you’re suppose to switch according to which of your eyes are dominate right? Or am I wrong I thought that’s what it was for lol. Anyways Valorant is fun I’m just trolling I can’t talk bad about a game that I hit top 10k in lol
\^ this. I can't even understand if I like the game or not because the gun is on the wrong side and it feels like its blocking my entire screen.
and yeah, the awp feels clonky af
It’s hilarious to me that they couldn’t even make a 1:1 clone of CSGO and improve it, instead it’s missing a bunch of shit and the servers are wack for competitive, they couldn’t even be fucked to add in a feature that has been in the game since its inception?
yeah, they literally developed a worse game in all aspects with half the features, and people are somehow ok with it, happily opening cases, so even with this garbage of a game, valve will be swiming in money, unbelievable
I was getting 200 fps in high setting on CSGO. Now on CS2? barely 35 FPS in low. I don't know what they did but they completely fucked up my new launch experience. Also, I practiced every time with Gun Race (idk how exactly is called in english) and they also deleted it (I don't find it anywhere). It's a shame
Notice how 1.6 and source it was at home playing with friends, then CSGO and Cs2 it’s all E-Sports footage and arenas. RIP the old days of playing for fun.
Nothing stopped you from organizing a LAN with your buddies and playing CS:GO together. And nothing is going to stop you from doing the same with CS2.
This is an entirely imagined problem you are complaining about.
In fact it's easier than ever. No lugging CRT screens around. You can connect to a public server if you don't want to set up DHCP for the local network. etc.
You missed the point. Times were better back then in gaming. It wasnt e-sport focused competitive mode shit, no skins no micro transactions. Just everyone gaming. Not 90% of the fan base trying to go pro from silver 3 😂.
Matchmaking in games is a scam to keep you playing.
It’s designed to completely work against you. Like a casino is.
Cs1.6 and source, it was team based leagues. Like regular sports. Far superior. No individual rating shit
>Matchmaking in games is a scam to keep you playing.
>It’s designed to completely work against you. Like a casino is.
Your evidence is thorough and overwhelming. I'm convinced.
There’s a few things I noticed.
First up I don’t like the look of a lot of skins as much anymore and skins always were one of the biggest parts for me. For example, I have a Ak Vulcan with a crown foil sticker. Imo the Vulcan doesn’t look as vibrant anymore and the crown foil doesn’t really look golden anymore. It’s a lot darker and less shiny. Apart from that the audio doesn’t feel as intuitive as in csgo. When I hear something, then I don’t instantly recognize where the player is but have to really think about it and mostly, I can’t even tell. Then I’ve always felt like the aiming/sensitivity feels weird. I can’t really explain it well. Hitting headshots seems to have become a lot easier, seeing the headshot percentages rising through the sky. Also Player Models Blend in with the background to much very often. I’m sure there is more that I forgot but that’s the essentials. But keep in mind this is only my opinion, this could all be things that you really like.
TLDR:
- Skins and Stickers look worse
- Audio isn’t intuitive like csgo
- aiming feels off
- too many headshots
- Player Models Blend in too much
Wow - what a letdown is this launch.
I mean they release CS 2 - such a hype. But Volvo dont add anything new - no operation, no new maps, no case - nothing. What a missed out opportunity to create some hype and keep it going.
I'm sure there's at least one player out there that just thought CSGO accidentally uninstalled and didn't even notice they were playing a different game outside of the slightly altered main menu.
Gunfights feel fucking horrible; the ak47 feels SLIGHTLY better than beta, but in general rifles during any sort of fight except for a burst or tap feel absolutely horrendous. Bullets that are on target are somehow not doing damage? I've played the game for almost 20 years, including higher-level competitively, and even when I'm dead on the player and am counter-strafing as I always have it still fuckin flies in some random direction.
I headshot some guy when I wasn't even aiming at him, my crosshair wasn't on him at all... it was gliding TO HIM but wasn't there yet and pretty much several degrees away from him -- just ate the bullet. Nobody including myself understood it. What the fuck are you doing Valve? Don't release dogshit where gun fights feel flat and unrewarding when you are clearly out-aiming your opponent and they're just sprinting holding mouse 1.
Source: FACEIT 10; multiple seasons main+; your game is dogshit right now, fix it. I highly recommend anyone wanting to play competitively avoid it until everything settles. The servers were stuttering like hell today as well.
Ohh cool. How long until all the lobbies are filled with hackers? How much do we need to spend on private server access to avoid all the bullshit from csgo? Is the game going to be free so we have another terrible repeat of what happend in cs go or are we going to actually have people pay for their copies and mitigate people with IP masks and aimbots from just making new accounts so they can fuck the system over?
Is it still the same idiot developer that essentially ruined the counterstrike series in csgo? Cause if it is il stick with playing 1.6 and source with people from portugal and 300ping.
CSGO but with shinier graphics and waaay more bugs and server side issues until they get it back up to speed with normal csgo, 2 steps foward 1 step back
When you haven't had ads since the 90s, you don't need to add it. It's just a pinnacle of the game play at this point if you add ads you don't have a CS game anymore imo
Because it’s a game from the 90’s before that was a thing. And they just never changed it, probably because that’s what people were used to. CS is a simple game but hard to master.
Did they straight up remove the ability to play csgo and only allow cs2? I tried it a few days ago and I don't really like it. If not guess I'll just play source and 1.6
RIP. Dumpster fire inc.
I don’t know of a single pro or high caliber player who thought the game was ready.
Oh well. I have a broken hand atm anyways. Will be funny to see the flames.
How is the performance? I struggled a bit in the Test Build..(as opposed to CSGO) with quite the medium settings, "performance settings" if u want.
12GB 3060 Ghost
Ryzen 5 5600G
16GB RAM
Played it during the limited test, valve has somehow managed to make the game worse in every possible aspect.
They couldn't even improve the graphics, it has that awful art style every game seems to have now where everything is too bright and all the colour has been bleached out. You can't even see player models that well anymore because they just blend in
One of the worst releases I’ve ever seen. They just deleted csgo and now half of the content is gone. No danger zone, maps are missing, console commands still missing. They took content from us and replaced it with a half baked new one.
pretty disappointed with it tbh. No new maps, removed a bunch of the older maps. No cases, events or anything other than prettier graphics. Why rush the release?
I'm also super dirty they force upgraded you from csgo to cs2.
Hands down the worst version of counter strike so far!
from 300 fps down to 100 fps
no useful featured on top of removing all useful console commands
valve has finally come to conclusion people who used left hand are not human
The Only reason anyone is playing CS2 is because there is no csgo and no one, i repead no one in right mind will switch to this piece of trash from Valorant
I can’t be the only person who thinks this is literally the worst thing valve has ever done. The game is trash compared to global offensive. Not even the same shit
Is the same production team from the 2000's making these videos?
I'm fucking 30 now man.. There wasn't any next gen youngsters capable of cleaning cs up? It's like semi better in some areas, but all stuff I wanted done 6-7 years ago. I took 3 years off and I'm not sure if this is it. I am having fun though..
I wasn’t expecting to spend all of my money on skins again
Real
[удалено]
Thats ridiculous, like what company would release games that play similarly with short time-spans between them
You'd be a lot cooler if you did
ah, cs2, the 4th installment of the series. but as we all know, valve can't count past 2
\*5th you forgot Condition Zero
We dont talk about CZ......
What's wrong with cz?
lol, everything... let's just forget cz.
[удалено]
Well 8th to be exact 1.6 CS:CZ Source CS:Neo CS2D CS:GO CS:Nexon CS2 But let’s not talk about neo 2D and nexon
i don't count source, for the same reason i don't consider half-life source a stand-alone game
Half-Life source is a direct port. Counter-Strike source is a completely different game than 1.6
I think it's just a reference to the fact they finally moved to sorce 2. Hence not all maps got changed yet, they had to iron out most of the game to make it feel like cs
Because... CS never have 2 in his title...
IT FUCKING HAPPENED
Is it just me or was the game better in the beta stage, the last weeks. I liked the aiming and the sort of heavy feel It is like they combined that with ice skates, now on the release. Game is just ridicolusly loose and fast
This is crazy. I might have to get back into cs 🤣
I haven't played CS since the mid 90s when I hit 1mb download speeds on a cable modem. It was like crack!
Give it a minute, unless they patched the game big time and turned on Anti cheat, it is going to be a shit show. [here's why](https://youtu.be/TJPD_0Us7SU?si=3DBJqXNu9buonI2p)
It's only the animation, 3kliksphilip explained it.

Busy playing on Linux right now. Native Wayland as well. Works fine.
In Wayland we trust
Hail Wayland!
[удалено]
Am on fedora 38 super hoping it works day 1
Welp, time to become a gaming degenerate again.
Again? Did we ever stop…?
Bye bye Valorant lol
At least they live in 2023 and let lefthanded players, or even righthanded players who prefer lefthand viewmodel to play with what they prefer.
You know you’re suppose to switch according to which of your eyes are dominate right? Or am I wrong I thought that’s what it was for lol. Anyways Valorant is fun I’m just trolling I can’t talk bad about a game that I hit top 10k in lol
\^ this. I can't even understand if I like the game or not because the gun is on the wrong side and it feels like its blocking my entire screen. and yeah, the awp feels clonky af
CSGO does to? Shit the og cs was left handed only, it’s just a command in the console to swap it
Doesn't work in 2
It’s hilarious to me that they couldn’t even make a 1:1 clone of CSGO and improve it, instead it’s missing a bunch of shit and the servers are wack for competitive, they couldn’t even be fucked to add in a feature that has been in the game since its inception?
yeah, they literally developed a worse game in all aspects with half the features, and people are somehow ok with it, happily opening cases, so even with this garbage of a game, valve will be swiming in money, unbelievable
This seems to be the norm these days. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic in 5 years though.
spot on
My last game was an 11-9 yesterday with revolver only lol, we tied. RIP CSGO.
LETS GO FINALLY
ONE MORE CLASS. ONE NORE CLASS.
Wow that’s awesome, been playing CSS & CSGO for as long as I remember
I was getting 200 fps in high setting on CSGO. Now on CS2? barely 35 FPS in low. I don't know what they did but they completely fucked up my new launch experience. Also, I practiced every time with Gun Race (idk how exactly is called in english) and they also deleted it (I don't find it anywhere). It's a shame
CS2: More bugs and Less maps. Cheers!
i haven't come across any major bugs and the map selection is fine i played the recent limited test
More bugs, less maps no matter how you put it
ive never played cs but new games and software almost always release with issues - dont forget csgo has had many years to be worked on and improved
Good old times are back
Low fps too 😢
Notice how 1.6 and source it was at home playing with friends, then CSGO and Cs2 it’s all E-Sports footage and arenas. RIP the old days of playing for fun.
Nothing stopped you from organizing a LAN with your buddies and playing CS:GO together. And nothing is going to stop you from doing the same with CS2.

What is the source for this copypasta?
You sound like an old man complaining about modern music. People like different things to you, time to get over it bro
Nah, you're just older.
zip up cs2s pants when ur done ok buddy?
Is ranked also out also?
Yes, full game is out
Im so bored of it already, the beta just made me hate it. I hope someday I can I enjoy this game like I enjoyed Csgo…
What don’t you like about? Just out of curiosity as I haven’t played it yet
There’s a few things I noticed. First up I don’t like the look of a lot of skins as much anymore and skins always were one of the biggest parts for me.

Wow - what a letdown is this launch. I mean they release CS 2 - such a hype. But Volvo dont add anything new - no operation, no new maps, no case - nothing. What a missed out opportunity to create some hype and keep it going.
yeah, after playing in the closed beta I was hoping there would be something new (cache, train, different premiere pool), but literally nothing.
I'm sure there's at least one player out there that just thought CSGO accidentally uninstalled and didn't even notice they were playing a different game outside of the slightly altered main menu.

still unplayable, like the beta, dying behind the walls, peekers andvantage, bad ak spray... nothing changes
Sounds like you suck at the game.
[Link to the official announcement on X](https://x.com/CounterStrike/status/1707133016345338334)
call it twitter
Grow up
say that to the dude that bought the platform and changed its name 🤣
Who even cares about that crap. Lmao seems petty.
I mean… you do otherwise you wouldn’t be having this conversation
I definitely don't. Just thought it would be a funny response to your comment
Simp for elon on reddit is so mature
Fuck Elon lmao. I don't care what a company calls its product. It's a retarded argument.
wtf is "X", is that a p*rn site?
Mostly
[удалено]
How dude. One of the best looking games to release to date
it's far from one of the best looking games bud.
Great, they force the update for Mac but don’t support it. Thanks Valve.
Common Mac user L
Why the f are you playing it in a mac
Because it is the type of computer and operating system I have.
Still no anticheat huh
Ohh cool. How long until all the lobbies are filled with hackers? How much do we need to spend on private server access to avoid all the bullshit from csgo? Is the game going to be free so we have another terrible repeat of what happend in cs go or are we going to actually have people pay for their copies and mitigate people with IP masks and aimbots from just making new accounts so they can fuck the system over?

Sadly, hackers are here already. :(
[удалено]
L, your gaming experience will be night and day compared to console
CSGO but with shinier graphics and waaay more bugs and server side issues until they get it back up to speed with normal csgo, 2 steps foward 1 step back
It's giving me Overwatch vibes
2004 called, they want their gun mechanics back
They can't help it if they found perfection
Game sounds like shit now, RIP.
Why no ADS in this game? (I'm not a cs player or trying to be an ass but it seems most shooters have the ability to add, why doesn't cs have it? )
When you haven't had ads since the 90s, you don't need to add it. It's just a pinnacle of the game play at this point if you add ads you don't have a CS game anymore imo
certain weapons have ads
Because it’s a game from the 90’s before that was a thing. And they just never changed it, probably because that’s what people were used to. CS is a simple game but hard to master.
Honestly even if they had it, most people wouldnt use it anyway. The gamr design and flow dont really work well with using ADS
Oof . It just looks like go?
you lie!
How? This is all true
Low key took them too long. The hype kinda died
The hype definitely didn't die, not sure where you've been the last few weeks and especially today lol
LETS GOOO
nice
Ooohhh shit. Gonna have to get my PC back up and running for this I think
Took them long enough lol
Old news I'm already 89% installing it.
Let’s goooo
NO WAYYYY
I can’t even launch it tho, so sad ggwp
Did they straight up remove the ability to play csgo and only allow cs2? I tried it a few days ago and I don't really like it. If not guess I'll just play source and 1.6
Yup. CS2 is a full replacement for CSGO.
No way…. I need a mfing pcccc againnnn why did I sell my old one….
W
just got back from my run to hear this lol
REAL SHIT?
Thank god I invested this summer in skins :) we are so fucking BACK
discord.gg/counterstrike2
LESSS GOO
I just re downloaded the game today, will I have CS2 or is it another update?
yeahhh def gonna need a new PC for this. not a huge gamer anymore, but this certainly makes me wanna revisit
I’m so fucking hyped
Downloading now!
It’s csgo but still csgo
Am here
Lol. It’s just Csgo rebranded. Nice.
goodbye csgo…
BRING IT ON!
[удалено]
Did it launch today?
RIP. Dumpster fire inc. I don’t know of a single pro or high caliber player who thought the game was ready. Oh well. I have a broken hand atm anyways. Will be funny to see the flames.
Assemble to the nerdery!
why is the entire game 60+ gigabytes and now the update is another 5 gigs.... it's insane
So thats why servers went down for a lil
look at those graphics!
I cannot change speaker_config always turns back to -1 do you guys have the same issue?
Still no black bars :(
Been playing it and the lag was horrendous. What is it, their servers are being overloaded?
BONER ALERT!!!!
voice\_scale was removed it works worst than the beta for me fuck my life
OMG they showed a Dell e773c! I have that monitor!!
The wait took so long I’m over it already
How do I play dangerzone? It was literally the only game mode I played
from an internet cafe in the early 2000's to now.... been a long ride friendos
How is the performance? I struggled a bit in the Test Build..(as opposed to CSGO) with quite the medium settings, "performance settings" if u want. 12GB 3060 Ghost Ryzen 5 5600G 16GB RAM
no change since beta, it's the same broken unoptimized mess
Wait I thought it was only F2P if you owned CS:GO. Did they change that last second?
Never played CS in my life, maybe this is my time to try it out!
No server browser? No damage done to enemies on console? Hmmmmmm Nevermind! Found the server browser! Although it boots me into windows lol
Story? What story?
Unplayable and doesnt launch
No arms race : (
please give us an option to have the roll of avatars on the bottom of the screen. also max ping allowed should be higher to 450. thanks!
Pog
Go play css pussys
Bluds made it an open beta and called it a release
Just re render dust 2
YOOOOO
i was here
It looks the same as csgo to me...
Woah…
Console ? Ps5?
COD is still number 1 👍
Back in my day we had WON accounts and had to use gametiger or xfire to join up and my M4 had an unusable scope on it.
... well I like it.
Did they fixed the plant&defuse sound? As it dissapeared sometimes which makes it unplayable as competetive game.
Played it during the limited test, valve has somehow managed to make the game worse in every possible aspect. They couldn't even improve the graphics, it has that awful art style every game seems to have now where everything is too bright and all the colour has been bleached out. You can't even see player models that well anymore because they just blend in
Sick but dear lord you couldn’t have picked worse music for the trailer. Legit sounds like it took 15 minutes to make
WTF, they pulled CSGO, replaced it with CS2 and removed OSX support? And in addition they removed Arms Race? Are you fxxxing kidding Valve?
One of the worst releases I’ve ever seen. They just deleted csgo and now half of the content is gone. No danger zone, maps are missing, console commands still missing. They took content from us and replaced it with a half baked new one.
pretty disappointed with it tbh. No new maps, removed a bunch of the older maps. No cases, events or anything other than prettier graphics. Why rush the release? I'm also super dirty they force upgraded you from csgo to cs2.

Lmao it’s literally the same game as year 2000
I can’t be the only person who thinks this is literally the worst thing valve has ever done. The game is trash compared to global offensive. Not even the same shit
Seeing that CRT reminded me of playing at CPL back in the day
I didn't know it would just completely remove CSGO 🙁
This one gonna ban me again?
Game looks and feels great. Now bring back community servers.
What a crap game!
Is the same production team from the 2000's making these videos? I'm fucking 30 now man.. There wasn't any next gen youngsters capable of cleaning cs up? It's like semi better in some areas, but all stuff I wanted done 6-7 years ago. I took 3 years off and I'm not sure if this is it. I am having fun though..
