I used to like CS:GO really much (had 860 hours in that one), but CS2 is a terrible game, a big leap backwards...

This isn't an exhaustive list of all of it's bad aspects, just a few off the top of my head:

• Regular crashes to desktop (the game freezes all of a sudden, even during the buy period and you can't do anything, but open a new Desktop view by Win+Tab, open Task manager and kill the process from there)
  
• (Re)opening the game and loading the same map, skins, players, etc (which are supposedly cached in the RAM) takes aaaages, not to mention random, permanent freezes during the loading process as well)
  
• Bad optimization (even though I greatly exceed the minimum sys.reqs.and have everything set to Low on 1280x960, I constantly get drops and low FPS)
  
• HRTF surround sound sucks ass (I have 5.1 headphones; have absolutely no problem localizing things in other games, except for this one)
  
• Game changes Windows keyboard layout to ANSI US English each time it is run (really annoying, since I have my keybinds and controls mapped to an ISO HU board and this setting is kept even after exiting the game)
  
• I had to pay for this game back then...

The rest are mostly subjective cons, so I might not list them here this time.
But here are a few, which I loved a ton:

• The new buy menu with the "Refund" option is really nice!
  
• The fact that you can drop nades to your teammates is also very cool!
  
• Customizing your loadout (being able to buy both M4s) is rad!

this game is ♥♥♥♥, do yourself a favor and play something else

The most beautiful game I've ever played by far!!!
It has such an overwhelming and immersive atmosphere that I can't even describe it.
The game itself looks astonishing, the worlds are just perfect - the music, the buildings, everything.

If you are hesitating whether to buy it or not, just go for it! You won't regret it!
Try to solve the puzzles without help and choose the ending you fancy the most! :)

- Tons of bugs
- ♥♥♥♥ hitreg / pathetic tickrate
- Still UNOPTIMIZED (I even meet the recommended settings, yet getting random lag spikes down to 20-30FPS with ALL settings on MINIMUM)
- Other players that are going to the nearest compounds simply don't render/show up - you can only hear their parachutes when they land next to you
- On Ultra this game looks how it should in 2018. The only problem with that is you can't see enemies hiding in the bushes hence it is so detailed. If you turn everything down you can spot enemies WAY easier, about 400m away grass just doesn't render you can see enemies lying on the ground in the middle of nowhere - while from their perspective they are hiding in the tall grass
- Poor server performance
- Devs don't do ♥♥♥♥ except adding new skins and crates
- Can't change zeroing distance on any sights/scopes except 8x

This game does not worth €30! Don't buy it! I still play it though since there are no such consequences of losing a match like in CSGO

I've become a big fan of the Sniper Elite series when I first played with Nazi Zombie Army 2 - the 3rd person perspective, authentic environment, weapons and the X-ray cam got me instantly.

What about this game? Well, I don't really know where to start... Maybe talk about the good features first:

+ excellent graphics
+ majestic weapon sounds (Springfield <3)
+ pretty nice missions
+ big maps
+ you can either stealth or run-and-gun
+ X-ray


Even though it has a lot of good things, the few cons ruin this game entirely...

- Authentic is ridiculously hard - as you up the difficulty, the enemies are becoming superhumans with a special ability of landing perfect shots from 500m with an Mp-40 from the hip, pulling down half of your health. You died? Sorry bud, gotta start from the beginning of the map! Why? The AI has an unfair advantage of surviving lethal shots and having perfect accurace even on range.

- I don't know what would happen in real life, but a 7.92mm bullet to my chest from point blank would get me down I guess :D BUT NOT IN THIS GAME! The Fritz instantly jumps back up, and shoots me 3 times with a Luger like nothing happened

- Cheating AI

- My teammate has just revealed his position on the opposite side of the map? Wouldn't it be great if the AI would instantly know where I'm lying in the grass without me having made any noise? Sounds cool, huh?

- Authentic? EZPZ! 2 mags in your pistol? Reasonable. 1 (one!!!!4444!) mag in your SMG? Seems ok (absolutely not). 3 times the ammo your sniper rifle can hold? Why not, this isn't a sniper game at all and you weren't sent to kill half of the Wehrmacht on your own, what am I talking about, really....

- Did I say the AI is cheating? No? It does!

- Bought the DLC just for the cool new weapons - haven't noticed any difference, Carcano is still most likely the best rifle in the game. Haven't played with the extension maps, lol.

- Do you want to kill Hitler for the SECOND time? Hell yea, bro! You want to do it for the third time? Then go ahead and buy Sniper Elite 4 - the reskinned version of SE V2, just like this one...

- AI is ♥♥♥♥
