A change-averse community faces up to the biggest change in a decade.
Counter-Strike 2 will replace CS:GO at some point later today . Plenty of Counter-Strike's most devoted pros have been playing a pre-release version of the game for months, preparing for changes that, though quite miniscule on paper, can upend a decade of habits. The feel of an AWP flick is a sensitive thing.
I spoke with my contacts across the CS:GO esports community to get comments on the state of CS2. Some of their complaints naturally stem from the fact they have spent tens of thousands of hours becoming the best in the world at CS:GO. Now they have to relearn much of that and in some areas, it can almost feel like starting from scratch, which would probably annoy anyone that relies on the game to make money.
"I think CS2 is heading in the right direction but in its current state, it still needs some improvements before it is a good one-to-one replacement for CS:GO. If I had to choose right now I would still go for CS:GO but having CS2 coming soon feels refreshing and I'm excited to grind something new."I think that for now, CS2 is not better than CS:GO, but with more balancing, for sure it could be. The game is not done yet, and it's not easy to play it.
CS2 continues that networking arms race with what it calls"sub-tick servers," where events can happen in between server ticks."As a result, regardless of tick rate, your moving and shooting will be equally responsive and your grenades will always land the same way," Valve promises. It's hard to compare one-for-one the difference that this new architecture is having on shooting and movement, but pro players are noticing some major differences in the feel of Counter-Strike 2 that may be attributable to this change.The biggest change, alongside the new smokes, for me is how it feels to spray weapons. Bursting and tapping is nice but spraying just feels more random/different and reminds me of spraying in Valorant so I'm not the biggest fan of it.
