CSGO Review

its a love hate relationship


~4433.1hrs on csgo (50-60 of which was on cs2 beta)

My experience with the beta consisted of sum issues, big and small. Sound was not accurate and was muddy, movement felt slow and unresponsive at times. I had a issue during the entire beta(and still have this issue in the release of cs2) of my mic not picking up my callouts or replies to teamates. This is only a problem in cs2, as it works perfectly fine in csgo, battlebit, and other games i play, no problems at all. The handful of posts and videos i could find with similar problems, didnt have any fixes that worked for me, and it seems this could be an issue with cs2 and wireless headsets(i aint no expert.) I dont understand enough about netcode or how to make an online game fair for all players across different networks and internet latency problems, but the subtick system to me feels like just valve being cheap. I know it would be alot of money and time to update servers to 128 tick, and i understand valve is trying to make subtick better and eventually it could perhaps surpass 128, but as of right now this aint it, feels similar to 64 but u are more likely to get shot behind a wall or an enemy will just teleport around the corner and obliterate you. Many maps still have not been brought over. Cache, Train, Cobblestone, and several wingman maps are gone. No more wargames mode and all the maps that came with them. Dangerzone is now Dangergone.

There are changes I do like though, maps look better than ever and still offer competitive level performance. The nade system still works alot like csgo many lineups and executions remain the same, however there are plenty that have changed. Premier system is very nice, i like the new ranking system and with the release of cs2 the new individual map ranks are pretty good in my opinion. I personally havent had too many issues with cheaters in cs2 but we can never truly know. The audio was also changed during the release sounds much better and has more settings allowing players to have better sound depending on their setups. But the microphone issue still exists for me.

Overall this update feels like it was rushed and we are all stuck in a forced beta. Valve had years and could have taken more time if they needed it, but instead we have to give up a game that we loved and poured hours of our lives into and have it replaced with a disappointing imitation.

Right now its a 5/10 from me. I hope that in time it can live up to what we all waited so long for.

the ending is gr8 m8, i r8 8/8
