Counter-Strike 2

CS2 Still Feels Terrible

Look, it’s pretty apparent that, even now, the community consensus is that CS2 still doesn’t feel . . . great.

What may not be as apparent is why.

No, seriously. Like, what is it about the netcode and tick rate and collisions and hit reg and rubberbanding and all these other buzzwords that everyone’s throwing around that makes Counter-Strike 2 feel . . . off?

  1. I seriously dont think valve can fix CS2 at this point. Like the game itself is just built different from the start it can never go back to have the feeling of csgo.

  2. Been saying the game feels shit since launch. I have said this multiple times. I shouldnt be dying to certain people that i would clearly clap on go.

    Shit is so bad i m valorant and leagur instead of playing cs. And i hate valo and league.

  3. The input lag feels worse as well. IDK if it's a netcode issue or not, but it just feels bad compared to cs go. The game is less responsive overall, with shots registering much later than they did in cs go.

  4. we just need to go back to CS:GO instead of CS2. graphics are nice, but not necessary for a competitive game

  5. All i can say is the Anti cheat better be top tier and the damn movement needs sorted, its so damn bogged down and slow, the collision also gets on my tits. Hate moving at a snails pace when getting shot.

  6. CS2 is pure trash. I though GO had problems, but oh boy CS2 makes GO look like a flawless game. I tried to like it for months but I’m now officially calling it quits. Valve used to be god teir; now it’s just another greedy corporate trash factory. GG.

  7. current state of cs really made me install valorant just so i can feel hitting headshots again

  8. Valorant is feeling better these days. Community communication. Movement, net code, anti cheat, updates you name it. It’s hands down better than the nostalgia we remember from CS than this issues with Cs2

  9. the as someone who has meh internet, networking is getting better, but that delay when shot is uber frustrating when there's clearly someone who just has 5 ping and will always have advanage. even when you have good crosshair placement, the stutter is so jarring that youll get sprayed to the body with 5 freaking shots and the screen jumps back multiple frames; so much you can't trace their head like before. too much peekers advantage, hopefully there's a middleground

  10. would be nice if i could just play csgo community servers without having to play on 130+ ping since they're all outside of NA

  11. Thank you for making this vid, you addressed everything wrong with valve, they have us playing this washed down garbage game, theres soo many things wrong with it and it doesnt seem like valve can fix even a fraction of the issues they created, they ruined the counterstrike franchise, people didnt build inventories and put money into this non functioning game cs2, they did it for cs go, they totally defrauded their customers with this half ass garbage.

  12. You can refuse to believe they don't care but they 100% don't and you and everyone else know it. If you think they are reading our posts or watching our videos you are sadly mistaken, they are making money hand over fist and profits just keep going up cause event after event people are buying/opening stickers and cases by the truck loads. If you were making more and more profit for doing less and less would you feel pressed to do more? LOL!

  13. It’s been a good 6 months since I’ve played comp in CS2. After not touching it for months, I logged on the other day and played some gun game. Yea the game still felt really bad. The game mode was fu at least, but something felt wrong. Going to step away and check back in a few months again

  14. Besides the netcode, the gunplay (random RNG or BS bullet spread with rifles while standing still with a single shot), there's nothing that i hate more than steaming pile of garbage that is the Valorant style buy menu.

    I miss CSGO's radial buy menu. CS2 buy menu is just visual bloat.

  15. I just had a casual match recently and for the first time, I was not killed by a grenade when I had 2 HP and it was bounced right at me.

    What you see, is what you might not get.

  16. after today's update, none of my awp shots are hitting, and the ones i do hit, im not even aiming at the guy, things are way off rn

  17. Do you know why this is happenning? Bcz new generations of coders are actually worse. I had a an old man that coded like crazy accurate, he was a math genius. Nowadays the uni students code like putting legos together. Cmon guys up the game…

  18. SMG's can just run and gun, let alone jumping kill you. Jumping glitches and clipping still. Peekers Advantage issues (still not as horrible as once was, atleast that 1 update was good). Bullet registry and delay inputs. Something, somewhere, Valve knows how to fix these issues. It's just when and where.

  19. Doesn’t matter if the game is trash. The sheep’s will still play it, because that’s the only thing they know.

  20. I introduced cs2 to some friends and they were free to play so we were stuck playing “normal” comp and not premier (I just play premier) and it’s cheater land. It was embrassing

  21. CSGO all these years I've played doesn't feel as off as CS2 update after update.

    BTW +10000 IBuyPower credits 👍

  22. Idk at this point I dm like twice a week for like 2hrs and then get off lol I can’t be fucked to even try to play comp anymore

  23. Skill issue detected
    Btw cs players wanted source 2 this much…… You got what u wanted.

  24. Valve needs to get rid of this subtick thing. It sounded cool and creative at the beginning but it just doesn't work. I feel like the only thing subtick does, is creating irregularities. And we REALLY can't use such a thing in CS. Everything has to be constant and predictable so we can reach perfection. In terms of the game itself and in terms of our own gameplay.

  25. When you try and jump onto something and then you stub your toe and get forced back to the ground. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to jump onto something and died because I can't jump onto a box.

  26. And packet loss in this game is crazy, inconsistent. I have avg 0.5 upload packet loss, when taking gunfights it suddenly jumps to 1.0+ then after I'm dead, it return to 0.5 avg again…. Wth
