Yes, but I think its going to be very different than its been in the past. They've reshuffled it so the part that makes them money is at the forefront and the part the players really enjoyed (new content like maps and gamemodes) relegated to an afterthought. Its sad, back before matchmaking when community servers were EVERYTHING it was a given that new content was easily accessible. Now only a vanishingly small portion of the player base even uses the server browser. I'd bet that if you exclude 3rd party matchmaking servers like faceit and paid premium practice servers there is less than 0.01% of players playing on community servers. This is what they took from you. 😞
i dont want to play coop for Stars i want to grind an operation with my Homie. I fully remember playing all the old Operation maps with a friend in 2021 back. I really hope they bring them back because there were very little good other coop maps
Not to mention the pins that came with each operation were great. I don’t think these new “passes” have pins (haven’t been on cs for a while so I’m not sure if they do.)
Besides for more possible limited time items, I would be willing to bet that the current armory pass rotation will not be updated until the 1 year anniversary of it being out. Valve told us the limited time item was for 100 days and they stuck to that, with no mention of any other categories being limited in time. Also all the people who were faming stars and got trade banned were not banned for a full year from the date that said date. They were banned for until the armory pass is 1 year old. Suggesting that this is when the armory will be fully refreshed.
would not bet on that tbh we can still just buy anubis package ingame still and thats not removed This will most likely be here for a long time if not a few years
@@bailvik6390 Ya the Armory pass is here to stay but what I'm saying is the current rotation most likely won't be updated besides for a limited edition item until the armory pass is 1 year old. Valve doesn't tend to do things on a short term basis so a year for the current location sounds exactly like what valve would do.
@@ertyderty7 Yeah no, it will be updated when the train 2025 collection is made (and that will be when train is added or atleast before the major) they will not release souviner packages with the train 2021 collection, It doesnt even have the standard item tiers as the 2021 collection was dropped when the map wasnt in majors. I dont know how you can link the banning to the refresh of the armory pass. Valve will update it whenever the fk they want - meaning it can be 3 months, 8 months or 1 year Train will be added alone or will be added with other collections
I'm waiting for them to fix the community server browser and do a full hardening to prevent security vulnerabilities when joining unofficial servers. I know there are better sites you can use for finding community servers but until its official, safe and prominent in the in-game UI it will continue to be a tiny minority of players.
@atsizbalik these days yeah, but back when each of them was the newest and most popular entry in the series they were a fun and eclectic grab-bag of quality levels. The best ones were always the ones with active admins, chill regulars, and a culture of respect for people of all skill levels and backgrounds.
CSGO had a lot of casual options. That’s what I miss a ton in CS2. The CS community though has grown to have a decently large competitive playerbase though, and it’s also important to appeal to that as well. Counter-Strike is always the very simple casual fps to me though, one that you can just chill back and relax on while talking to the people in the lobby. Casual playlists are like that still, but I wish there was more modes that aren’t defuse, hostage and arms race. I fully agree with you here.
Why is no one talking about the price increase for the Armory Pass with this update? It's a lot more expensive to buy passes now. The price increased R30 (ZAR) in my currency. This makes it a lot less profitable with the current Steam Market prices. It's a massive change.
I think Valve just watches what the majority of people think's gonna happen and do the opposite to stay surprising lol. Everyone taught the deagle would be removed on Valve time but here we are.
Nah dude we need the operations, that’s one of the coolest parts of the game for me easily, missions, game modes, exclusive drops? That shit is fire. If it’s just armory pass it’s gonna be so stale
I think you don‘t understand what 1% and 0.1% lows are and that they are more relevant than your average fps :) I have 5700X3D and 4070 Super and still strugle to hold 140+ fps at 0.1% or even 1% lows with a perfect optimised win10 PC @AutisticWimpyKid
If they refresh the whole Armory, so complete new collections, those skins that you can pull right now won't be available again. So no new skins will be produced. It will only be possible to obtain them with a trade up. So the prices will go up if they are removed.
I think premiere season 2, with that new maps like train in and vertigo out. New train collection in armoury and one removed. I hope the gallery case will be removed also. All of this is wishful thinking.
Gabe owns 6 luxury yachts collectively valued at approximately $1 billion. Valve earns about $1 billion per year from CS2 case openings alone... They don't give a shit about making games or pleasing fans. They have zero incentive to fix or make anything.
@@HerbaceousM8 There was some news about them tuning the trustfactor system. Its supposed to keep sussy players queuing separate from established players who have many hours, friends, other games, and years on their steam account. If you've got longer wait times its likely because you've got good trust factor and they're not matching you into games with low-trust players rather than there being less players seeking matches. Personally I'd rather wait longer for a good match than waste my time loading in and finding out its full of those 2yo accounts with a "One Stop Shopper" badge or a private profile. IYKYK 😂
Do YOU think Valve will add “Operation Style” missions to CS2’s Armory pass?
Nahh they are too lazy
Why would they? These passes sold more than operation passes did without operation missions
nope
it’s shocking to get a case or one map. no shot there is going to be a mission.
Yes, but I think its going to be very different than its been in the past.

don't get hyped about 2GB updates anymore, major updates are much bigger now
Didn't realized 100 days had passed since
it flew so crazy fast
Lol me too, it feels like yesterday

Valve said arsenal is unlimited. They will not remove it but change the items. CS2 accepted the battlepass trend...
@@BALSCOU ouch
The bowie left hand added was the first fix for the knives.
YES I forgot, thank you brother
bowie is highly underrated since this fix like dude i got a sapphire for under 800 and i gotta say bowies look decent

Features like this should be on CS and not a third party, valve should do it best and there's next to no reason they cant.
community servers suck for every cs version ngl (except condition zero)

valve should actually focus on fixing the fucking rubberbanding problem, its been 2+ years and i still teleport everywhere on 7 ping
Valve absolutely will NOT change armory until Shanghai is removed
Exactly
Thinking the same now
I knew there was something different with the huntsman. It also wiggles it a bit, kinda like the classic knife.
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA FIX THE DAMN KARAMBIT INSPECT AHHHH
Or the shadow? LOL
I still reminisce the golden era of csgo community servers. They stole that from us.

2:05 It's responsive, Valve didn't "shift it up"
I am still waiting for danger zone
I think Valve just watches what the majority of people think's gonna happen and do the opposite to stay surprising lol. Everyone taught the deagle would be removed on Valve time but here we are.
Gun balance change is much more excited for me.
Will stars stay on the account for new rotations, so I can sell them at inflated 1st day price?
According to emails from players to Gaben and the CS team, they responded saying the armory pass and its stars do NOT have an expiration date.
Nah dude we need the operations, that’s one of the coolest parts of the game for me easily, missions, game modes, exclusive drops?
That shit is fire.
If it’s just armory pass it’s gonna be so stale
I stopped playing the game completely until performance issues are resolved.
That sentence makes no sense 😅
Just work and buy a new pc lol

another cash cow update, everything and anything besides fixing the game
Where normal updates its always the same, i want factions back
Valve selling stickers 75% off. Really kills the joy of stickers for new players, buying at a euro, just to be fcked sideways alittle later
what about the new players who see "uuuh 75% off" and then buy the stickers? just say you got fucked and youre hurt about it
Will other skins go down after a new armoury refresh so should you sell now then buy at the fire sale?
If they refresh the whole Armory, so complete new collections, those skins that you can pull right now won't be available again. So no new skins will be produced. It will only be possible to obtain them with a trade up. So the prices will go up if they are removed.
@@CS2-Erik_NL I’m talking about other skins that aren’t on the armoury at all
when they will put back the factions back i miss IDF and elite crew
It will never happen because valve can have you buy them now
why not mention the new update also fucked with the medals? cant see medals on other users more in games lol
They've already fixed that
I think valve is implementing animgraph to potentially make all inspect animations and lefthand be viewable by other players
How much does the heat treated gold gem is worth?
I have no idea only blue gems
@@LukeEats Can you try to find out by any chance?
@@LukeEats Can you try find out the price of pattern 37?
finally cheater problem and stuttering fixed .....not ...thx valve
I think premiere season 2, with that new maps like train in and vertigo out. New train collection in armoury and one removed. I hope the gallery case will be removed also. All of this is wishful thinking.
Who cares about season 2? Season 1 has had only cheaters in the highest ranks since the start of it. The game is literally useless to grind
@ I didn’t say I cared about season 2. I said I think with the launch of season two they will change the map pool
Yo, whats the best way to earn stars? because playing deathmatch is really boring :D. Nice vid
From the last time I was grinding I found casual and just playing premier to be the best.

they only do that for cs2 tho, currently valve is working on a new "HLX" game which might be a new half-life game

its actually gotten a lot better. prem is playable, but the way the =/- is and the lack of people wanting to play it is the bigger issue
