We played a game of competitive CS2 where you could only buy each weapon ONCE a match. This absolutely destroyed the meta.

  1. Yooo, this might have not worked but, a little tweak like that only one person, can buy one type of gun in the whole team, so that way you would need to casually play tactically would be insane!

  2. i really liked this mode when it was in the game for a bit. iirc there was also one where if you shot and didn't hit an enemy you yourself would lose health.

  3. i think this could work if players can't keep weapons between rounds – after each round, all weapons are lost.

    this way, the winning team doesn't get to keep all the rifles and snowball while the losing team can't get anything that can keep up.

  4. Hearing the rocket league music at the end was weird, This is the CS channel, why are u activating the part of my brain for RL? Its confusing lmao

    Nice vid as always, love it

  5. simple way to fix the one team dominating because they keep their m4's is to not reset ammo upon a new round or something basically doubling up on the conserving your weapon part

  6. You could address the Meta Weapon issue with the following fix: Players cant keep a weapon from the past round, but receive a bigger $ bonus each round. With that, every round would have a different weapon set, instead of just keeping the meta weapons for consecutive wins.

  7. Why not try a competitive CS2 but it uses the money system Valve implemented for 1.6? Except more balanced by giving a minimum cost to each weapon so a MAC-10 wouldn't cost like 50$.

  8. I thought this meant every weapon can only be purchased once for everyone, aka 1 AK the complete match

  9. I actually used to do this in deathmatch or in casual matches since I believe it helps train your adaptability. It makes you focus on each weapon's strengths and you start making strategies around them as opposed to just relying on your AK/M4 to do the heavy lifting. It gets you out of your comfort zone; you try things that you otherwise wouldn't and you start to learn more because of it.

  10. Wow, I can't believe I witnessed a sponsor segment that is both relevant to the video and valuable to the viewer.

    Speaking of value, you can get 83% off a 3 year plan with NORD VPN! A VPN is a Virtual Private Ne-

  11. Maybe the game mode works better if each team is limited to 1 rifle and 1 awp max in a players hand at any given time. Would make the whole boss raid feeling of dualies and armor for pistol round

  12. The result might be also related to people playing almost exclusively meta weapons and have no practice with meme weapons. That said, they are meta for a reason lol

  13. Since cs2 was released, I've gotten 4 wicked aces with the PP-Bizon. It is a very good gun in certain situations.

  14. If you want people to use less meta weapons, economy adjustments mid-match are probably going to be the best way. The more people buy a gun, the more expensive they become, and vice versa for less bought weapons.

    This would create "rifle rounds" where all the weapons bought cost less than SMGs and situations like that, depending on the team. Also AWPs will probably be more common, but oh well 🙂

  15. Counter point, the meta weapons get most of the kills because they are the weapons everyone is used to using. A combination of both knowing how to best utilize the weapon, and also having the confidence that comes from familiarity, allows the meta weapons to win out, even in niche situations where the non-meta weapons would arguably be the better choice.

  16. CS2 but everytime you buy a weapon it becomes more expensive would be an insane idea that would make you use more weapons

  17. >why is mp_weapons_max_gun_purchases_per_weapon_per_match in the game
    So you can make this video, dummy!

  18. Pretty sure that specific variable is in the game because of the limit of buying only 2 of the same weapon during warmups

  19. Think it would be cool if you could only buy 1 weapon per round, per game, but you don't save weapons at the end of the round. (Could 2x money maybe?)

  20. how do you play together with friends in cs2 it always kicks my friends when we try to make a private match

  21. A variant of this could be only being able to buy guns once the whole game but weapons don’t despawn at the end of rounds so you can pick them up next round if you remember where they are. The things you can still buy being utility and armor and the bomb being able to respawn with the T’s. Or not, depending on how much chaos you want.
