      I had early beta access. ATM I view it as the DEV's are taking us on a ride after release. I am going to enjoy the process. Valve did a great job transitioning all of us to CS2. I give Valve an A. I saw Valve release Casual and it was garbage (Super buggy) compared to COMP. In a blink of an eye, they released CS2 and casual ran perfect. With fixes to a couple skins and stickers.
      I will say the one thing I am waiting for though is an ANTI Cheat. This is the one that matters most. To help the cheaters out so they can enjoy the game.

    in dev for 4~ years, in beta for half a year, yet:
    - basic things not in game like:
    - - left hand
    - - viewbobbing
    - - (proper) netgraph
    - - remove decals,
    - - player count instead of pictures (added 2 weeks after release)
    - - demo viewer
    - - workshop
    - horrible implementation of subtick (e.g. incredible peekers advantage, dying behind walls, inconsistent movement)
    - - said subtick was implemented because according to valve most of csgo playerbases hardware spec couldnt properly leverage 128 tick
    - - - game is so "unoptimized" said players can barely run cs2 to begin with
    - economy is not balanced for mr12
    - amd users VACd for drivers
    - hlae VACd with -insecure
    - the buy menu technically being just a downgrade unless they plan on adding new guns // but whatever floats your boat, I know some people like it and there are always two sides to a coin
    - game is BRIGHT // not a general problem, but a lot of people (me included) claim eye strain when playing with 100% brightness
    I'm aware most of these are just nitpicks and will be fixed/added down the line, but they are missing nonetheless.
    Now,
    Do I disagree with what you said? No
    Is the game perfect? No
    Is the game terrible? No
    Is the game good? Debatable
    People who only see the bad in it and claim that the game is a piece of pooch-poo are just as dumdum as people who try their best to ignore the issues, claim that it's perfect and are willing to defend it with their lives.
    But with that said, Go has been out for 10 years, they had a decade to learn from everything GO got right and wrong. Defending the game by saying that Go had a just as bad- if not -worse launch is just wrong. I think valve simply "98 in 4"-d themselves in the foot by saying it would release in the summer. I'll be honest, I didn't play the beta, didn't want to nor cared enough to, so I have no idea what was going on back then but half a year of beta and the game launching with the subtick system being in such a weird state is just... weird.

CS hasn't been casual for over a decade now and that's okay. There's lots more for you to play that's "casual". CS isn't one of them and shouldn't BE one of them. Play something else.

      Majority of the players don't care about your esports. The game has always been just fun to play and relax with friends. CSGO had a clear separation between them without any community servers even needed. It obviously can do both as it always was a game for everybody.
      If Valve cannot replace csgo then it should not have removed the game and kept it for casuals without skins at least.
      I don't care at all about your competitive scene or the skins market. You can simply watch the matches without even playing the game or just gamble with skins outside of cs.

    They should never have announced it in April, they should have worked with pros completely in the dark, like NDA in the dark, in regards to movement, shooting, tickrate, etc. then maybe announce the game close to now. I believe Paris had something to do with the release schedule and it’s sad that we got a slightly undercooked game, but Valve is working on it and we will eventually love this game just like we did GO. As long as Valve fix hit reg, cheaters, movement, and tickrate then we should be fine.

      I don't think working in the dark w/ pros would've been the better option. Keep in mind pros have top-tier setups and gear, while casual players, which make up a big part of CS' player-base, have gear ranging from potatoes ran on wind-mill power to extreme NASA computers. I liked the open beta (despite me selling my ruby daggers 3 days before they announced it and therefore lost a couple thousands of $) because it gave valve responses from the broader audience and not just the best of the best. Sure you can criticise valve for TONS of things, and there are many things they could've done better, but announcing the beta early and giving access to a great variety of players and PC's, is not one of those things. I'm opportunistic about the future of CS2 and i'm extremely excited about the possibilities the new engine creates.

    9:54 the hitboxes were already fixed quite a while ago and the subtick "bug" has been actually explained. When you shoot, the change is applied after each tick. That's why sometimes it might seem like your shot went somewhere else than your crosshair is. The game remembers when you actually pressed your mouse button and applies that shot on the next tick, so if you shoot in between ticks, the server is basically showing you your past.
    If this is a good or bad thing is debatable, I recommend watching some RECENT videos and make your own opinion. Subtick kind of reduces consistency since now your shots are precisely at the moment when you pressed your mouse button and not locked to ticks.
    Edit: There were ways to lock your shots and movement to ticks as shown in the video, only Valve knows what they will do about that. The subtick system needs a lot of polishing.

    The fact that he just skips over that point to say. "There is a hypothetical universe in which if valve waited to release the game when it was ready, people would be even more mad". How do you know? Almost every annouced valve game ever has been delayed. Ur just assuming things. What we do know now is that alot of people are mad that the game is bad, and was not release ready.

    I was there in the CSGO beta and it's all true. Everyone hated everything. The recoil was impossible to control because the screenshake didn't telegraph the next bullet like in CS 1.6. Then we figured out that it was the same all the time and you could just memorize it, and then everyone hated how memorizing the recoil took away the skill out of controlling it and got away with the decisions of how to shoot in each situation because the answer to every fight was spraying. Funny thing is, now that CS has competition inspired by CS1.6, the same players defend memorizable recoil as the pinnacle of shooting skill.

    You're actually somewhat wrong about the optimization of Source 2, and while I agree it isn't made for dinosaur PC's, the entire original point of developing it and it releasing with Half-Life: Alyx was so that the source engine took proper use of "modern" hardware, which is basically anything past pc's that existed in 2004, such as utilizing your full CPU's cores and threads, RAM, VRAM, etc. It verifiably runs even slower than CS:GO did, I used to get over 300 fps on most maps, yet brand new ones that barely look any better start off around 120-140, and quickly dip into the low 40's and high 30's for no apparent reason mid-match. It's a downgrade in every respect, despite the fact that HL:A runs absolutely flawlessly while vastly increasing graphical fidelity, and in VR even has to render 2 of the exact same scene, making it's performance even more impressive.
    It's not Valve's typical polish, and it is valid criticism.

    I honestly only agree somewhat with what you're saying, yes CS2 isn't as good as CSGO and that's completely understandable since it just came out but not all of the hate that revolves around CS2 is particular to the game itself, I'm talking about Valve and the decisions they've made, just because CSGO had issues on launch a decade ago does not mean it's fine if CS2 comes out as an unfinished game and as a replacement of the superior version given that people paid money for that game though I understand why they did it.
    Not giving everyone Beta access from the very beginning but instead giving it to people who rarely play or don't have any hours, streamers who milk it for content of course who were supportive of the game because they made money off of it but now they're complaining as well.
    Then you have a Valve Developer telling you to cap the game at 120fps while claiming it is not his issue to find out why there are performance issues, while he took back what he said it still makes you wonder why someone would say that.
    Hardcoding 64 tick into the game which is another issue and also removing GOTV-Spectate along with Overwatch, I can't even be certain if someone is cheating now, also I can imagine why people still complain about the Michael Jackson peek because while they claimed it was patched yet there were still instances of it happening.
    You can't even compare CS2 to CSGO as you'd compare CSGO to 1.6 because in this current sequel half of the content is missing from its predecessor but I do agree that they've also made improvements from CSGO, workshop maps which is what made Counterstrike great as well, KZ, Surf, Retake servers can still be found but there isn't even a community server browser that works, you have to manually search it up on google which just sucks.
    You using IEM Sydney as an example is also not really great since they're playing on LAN with no delay, some of the pros clearly stated that the game is more enjoyable on lan but still has its flaws while it's horrible to play online.
    I'm a player that doesn't hate just to hate and completely understands if someone likes CS2 and enjoys it but I feel like getting fucked over by a multi-billion dollar company that runs all over its consumers and doesn't seem to care since they're making hundreds of millions in cases with this unfinished game in a month.
    Also to add the lack of transparency Valve has with the community is giving a lot of people a headache, if they could at the very least tell us what they're working on or what their thought process behind some of the changes I'd be happier.
    I could add a lot more things as to why I'm disappointed but I've written enough, I do think this game can be greater than CSGO but some of the hate Valve is getting is deserved.

    For me the problem is that CS:GO is just... not there anymore. I am all for an update to a classic series. This is enough of a negative for me to dislike it as a whole. It may seem like a small thing but they also removed achievements, but for me and probably alot of other people that was huge. I took pride in having alot of achievements, it gave me another awesome goal to go for. Now all my achievements are nowhere to be found and it hurts because I remember the feeling I would get when I got a new achievement, a visual representation of my progress. Thats just one small thing but its a big thing for me. I cannot speak on the content of the update because I have not played it, so I won't. I would also say that the new graphics hinder my computer, but as I said I havent played it since the update. Regardless I shouldn't have to worry about wether or not the game I have spent 600 hours in (I am 15 years old, this is a very very large number in my overall playtime) is even playable anymore. CS:GO was and is a historical game at this point and I really really hope that its brought back somehow because its a very integral part of gaming as a whole. The influence it has had is immense and to pave over something like that feels wrong. The problem I recognize with this is that CS2 doesnt have much to differ it from its original leaving it to be a lackluster separate game. But in turn it makes for a damn bad decision to be an update. If it is hard to tell, I am a bit mad. Just frustrated that they would even change it from CS:GO to CS2 and removing CS:GO entirely, it is baffling.

  • @lamvu2082
    @lamvu2082 Год назад +1

    My hot take:
    - CS player simply dislike change: if they not use to it, they complain, if it's broken, valve will fix it, if it's not, pro-scene will prove it's OK since it match the "competitive scene" and everyone accept these change.
    - CS2 is necessary if Counter-strike fan want the game to survive and evolve: CSGO engine is too old and hard to develop in long term, it have been shown how troublesome every time valve update the game by programming new layer upon other since the game wasn't very structure to begin with.
    - CS2 feel less of an issue compare to other counter strike step up (from 1.6 to source, and from both of these to GO): CS2 is build as the intention as an upgrade version of GO, which mean it will try to retain the most mechanic, rather then completely create a new game. So people when move from GO to CS2 can get use to them very quickly, unlike how 1.6, source and GO feel completely different (i wasn't start with 1.6 and when people trash GO by say it's not same as 1.6, i try to play it and it feel unplayable). This is also why i feel it's much acceptable when deleting CS:GO, because if both of the game exist, it will overlap on each other (playerbase, skin have to migrate between game, tournament difference)
    - CS2 will have to suffer player loss, but this wasn't entirely because of gameplay, we have to look on the variety when playing CSGO: CS:GO doesn't only have competitive player, there are casual player, modder, map designer,..etc... Since CS2 wasn't fully implement these function yet, the majority when test CS2 only join to play competitive, and it's lack that casual feeling, since a major base player only play CS:GO for community server
    - Subtick is not good but it's not that terrible, specially when we look them on mechanic aspect and the idea it could playout: tickrate was a limitation counterstrike suffer, and competitor will base on this limitation to pull player base on their game simply by provide bigger number (i.e: valorant with their 128 tick). It was also due to CS:GO that most people care about tickrate in the first place, if you went to any fps shooter, they most likely will shoot and said it was good, but for CS:GO, this become an obssession. Subtick idea aim to process between tick without require more server hardware, which is a perfect world idea and give a better solution by simply increase the number.
    - The graphics is one of the aspect that just blow CS:GO away, hardware need to upgrade, but it's not that bad: a lot people compare CS2 to valorant, simply because it look brighter to CSGO and i'm gonna be honest, GO look dogshit and a lot of time i couldn't even see the enemy because some of the corner is too dark and i have feel this less of an issue when move to CS2, nomore those i could't kill them because i don't see them. About the graphic requirement, the game looks better so it have to require more, but it's also different requirement compare to GO, most of the low end player who play CSGO use only CPU with intergrated graphic and they could ran the game at 100FPS. For CS2 if they keep the same the frame will drop heavily, but for player have GPU, it is not that impact since CS2 require more GPU power now, so having a GPU even for a low-end type is OK and if people complain about that, they should really upgrade their PC. Also the game run with lower frame compare to CS:GO, but it's really stable on most situation, there will be time when sudden frame drop like when throwing smoke, but when you move around the map, FPS doesn't jump every where like in CSGO, and a 50fps loss doesn't make you feel like a slowpoke.
    - Biggest criticise is valve release the game too early, before it match the suitable competitive play: for dota 2, the transition between two engine feel less suttle and better plan than CS:GO, valve should have give it more time before release, the release of CS2 was feel rush and people didn't like it. However they also provide the quickest update of the game (which never even happen on CS:GO), and we should at least appretiate it.

    Rather than seeing the game for what it is and understand the process, idiots would rather throw the whole game under the bus and make the most ridiculous comments that are in no way constructive or helpful.
    A lot of older players with more hours seem to have more patience for the game as they have experienced the same process before, and it’s a certainty in their mind that the game will progress and be better than CSGO in the long run.
    Haters tend to be the loudest of the bunch, but the truth remains that CS will never die. And CS will continue to be the greatest FPS of all time.

A game where you can't even jump, counterstrafe or shoot consistently and Valve decides to fix it by removing the fix the community found for it. Also after getting a kill there is a 80ms delay before the enemy dies with 0 ping. I could keep going. It will most likely get better but imagine calling it good when it's objectively shit. Makes it extremely funny when a 2023 game is more broken than original CS.

      The issue isnt the subtick idea, the issue is that valve are bad at programming and implemented it with some issues. And removed the option for 3rd parties to use 128 tick which is just stupid.
      But I can tell you that subtick is miles better than 64 tick without it. Shots are way more accurate while you are moving your mouse quickly. Remember most of the playerbase plays on valve 64 tick servers so its a big upgrade for most people.
      Even on 128 tick faceit I often had issues with shots not landing where I clicked when flicking fast because I play high sens, and this is actually one of the main reasons high sensitivity is so impopular in cs compared to any other shooter.

    CS:GO has been released for a bit more than 11 years and instead of taking the good parts about CS:GO and incoperate them into CS2, they've actually removed a big portion of it and decided to make new, and in Valve's eyes, "better changes". 11 years of progress in a game right down the drain basically.
    Let's also not forget that when CS:GO was about to get released, that Valve turned to all the pro's and community and wanted their input on what to improve within the game itself. Once they had a stable playerbase and the game was up and running, they basically didn't care anymore at all about asking about ppl's inputs. The changes Valve mad throughout the years regarding changing the footsteps-sound, the weapon-sounds, taking them ages to fix the hitbox etc etc. shows that they really have no f*cking clue what they're on about and that they're focusing on the completely wrong things. The problem with CS2 is exactly the same, so it's basically 11 years of progress down the drain and now they think they know what the community wants whilst having zero clue.
    Also, imagine being a completely fresh CS2 player, e.g. coming from Valorant, Call of duty, Apex.. you name it.. and the first thing you get to encounter is cheaters within the first few games you're playing, IN A BRAND NEW GAME as well. Valve losing a portion of their playerbase due to the game not being finished apparantly isn't enough, cuz they obviously want to lose players due to cheaters as well. So, what exactly is so good about this game then? I can't really say too much positive about the game itself, cuz the only way you're able to have fun in this game is if you create the "fun-experience" yourself by playing as a 5-stack etc.

      I agree they could have ran CSGO and CS2 side by side a little while longer but it wasn't needed. I had early beta access, I experienced what happened. Valve finished Premier and COMP first and could not release CS2 because Casual is the base of the game. 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and Source. It was all about PUBing (casual.) Scrimming (Comp) wasnt really a big thing
      During CS2 Beta casual was garbage. (super buggy) In a blink of an eye, Valve released CS2. Casual was running perfect with a some skins fixes. So release was perfect timing
      Truth is Valve could have released it earlier if they would have completed CASUAL first. Which is the base of the game. Valve gets an A+ for going above and beyond. CS2 released with Casual, Premier and COMP.
      Realistically, Casual was the minimum requirement. Sort of, CSGO changed things. CS2 release was solid.
      We miss things like aimbotz, War games, KZ, surfing and so forth but its what ever. Those things are just extra credit.

    Pc that can litteralu run anything perfectly except for cs2...
    550 euro benq 240hz screen
    Fps jumps from 450 - 35 fps,
    You think that the hardware is the problem?
    think again, its the desine of the "Esports Ready" game.
    When in menu gpu works for 80-95% you go in game gpu use drops to 25-35% dropping the fps by 200.
    Locking on 240 fps doesnt work because fps drops lower then 240 too often so it has no use to have a 240 hz monitor.
    Try playing an fps game with those drops competitivly.
    And to make it worse they introduce sub-tick, wich is basicly a backtrack + randomiser.
    There are people who compared +attack comand and default spray, to come to the conclusion that the spray doesnt only feel off, it actually is random because of subtick, it doesnt shoot the bullet at the same frequency but at different times, for example 1 bullet is 0.2 ms secobd 0.2, third 0.4, 4th 0.3 and so on. what makes it impossible to actually control the spray decently and why you wiff sprays completely sometimes.
    Because your mouse is allready furter in the spray then the actual bullets fired.
    This game is shit and not ready for release at all.
    And the cheaters and bad anticheat doesnt help this game at all.Only seen vac life with streamers/pros, havent encoutered 1 myself in the 200 games played, and trust me there were blatant cheaters.
