TL;DR

CS:GO was a fantastic game, and valve really did something special with the CS2 release. Gameplay is smooth and fresh, graphics are pretty and full of detail. Overall it is still a superb 5v5 comp shooter at its core. This game can really put your skill and strategy to the test, but unfortunately it has one extremely fatal flaw. CS2 has more cheaters playing it than legitimate players in high rated matchmaking. For reference, I got 7 full rage spinbot matches in a row before I gave up on premier pretty much entirely. Additionally a frightening margin of my recent games in both the competitive and premier game modes have become infested with blatant HvH players. If you want any chance at playing the awesome and highly competitive experience that was counter strike, go play on FACEIT or some other 3rd party service because it honestly has better lobbies and a functioning anticheat. If you want a game where you can install some random script, and run around and cheat your face off for a while, I have two things to say... 1. Go F*ck Yourself lol 2. CS2 in its current state is a great place to go, the anticheat doesn't do anything to punish even lower end cheats it seems.

Message to Valve. FIX YOUR F*CKING ANTICHEAT. Thanks.
