Valve releases Counter-Strike 2

Still funny that valve still can't count past 2 even though this is the 5th installment

I played it for an hour and realized I still suck at counter strike

It's really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it's missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.

If Counter-Strike 2 is so good, why is there no Counter-Strike 2 2?

Released 2012? Huuuh?????

I really wish they had fixed the movement, considering it's supposed to be a tactical shooter I would love to see some sort of footstep mechanic but it's still ice rink battle simulator.

I wondered what was going on when Steam said Counter-Striker 2 successfully updated.

Tried to play yesterday but too many other people had the same idea... We'll, going to tried in a few weeks

So do you think the game is worth getting back into now, or should I just give up all hope at ever being half decent at this game?

Last time I played was in 2014. Started as a Silver I, and worked my way up to Gold 1. I was never a competent player. I feel like if I try to get back into it now, the game will just be full of the same old players from past CS titles and I'll still stand zero chance of ever getting gud. Or do you think the sequel will bring in enough new players that I might do alright?

Was really hoping it was not going to carry the 2 since it's a pvp game/evolving game. Like division 2 and destiny 2 just drop the number.

I hope it's more stable than the limited test I've been playing. Hopefully comp is not limited to premier, but you can pick the maps you want to play on.

The hitboxes feel really weird. Sometimes it feela like the bullet went straight through people repeatedly ( e.g.: with a scout ) other times I seem to hit something I'm convinced was a fatfingered miss.

i used to play Zombie Escape and Zombie Mod maps back on CS:Source those were legendary times. All those Secret rooms and bat shit insane zombie escape maps like lord of the rings and predator.

Zombie Escape is how they got L4D

it looks a lot like the last one, not very excited

Nice! I sadly can't run it on my PC, but I hope y'all enjoy I!

I am inclined to say CounterStrike has been "enshittified" with the removal of GO, and version 2 being made. CS2 seems to be GPU reliant, as opposed to every single CS/HL title before that used to run atleast no stutters 80-100 fps even on a midrange laptop from 5-6 years ago with no GPU.

This is a sad moment, and probably the death of probably what was the last great gaming title that democratised competitive gaming.

Ah, I love counterstrike uh.... 4? (I lied, cs gameplay feels bad)

Fuckall server crashes for everyone, sad rn
