The CS2 Armory Update adds a new in game store and battlepass, over 100 new items, many new systems, and most importantly, the animation changes hidden in here fix many of the long standing problems CS2 has had.

Hello mister war owl, so in the video you said that they didnt touch the netcode or anything. Im not computer guy or anything, but I have really solid internet along with my prem duo. We have never experienced ping or packet loss issues before. Since the armory update, we have experienced constant unstable pings, extremely harsh packet loss instances and borderline an unplayable experience since the update. No this not a placebo thing due to jitter being displayable. Do you have any like ideas behind what may have caused this? Its not on our end cuz any other online games we play dont have this issue at all.
The audacity to put cobblestone on that paper
NOBODY has said SHIT about how they ADDED ITALY BACK (HOLY SHIT MY BOY WAROWL SAID SOMETHING BEFORE philip lol)
we told ourselves to let cs2 cook for a year and it'll be all good. so far the game is in the exact same spot as a year ago. maybe next year it will be worth playing.
9:10 that‘s a myth
I haven’t got one decent skin, so i won’t get another armory pass
Why -vert and not -mirage though warowl?
playing a lot of Deadlock right now (and seeing what they're cooking there) has given me hope for the kind of game cs2 will become, so long as it does actually get the care and content it needs now.
5:08 last 2 operations u could play but u did not earn cosmetics also same for pickem (if im not mistaken), u could ply the pickem, just didnt earn progress towards the thropy… so, only the cosmetics were behind paywall
it would be sick if my pc could run cs2 like it can run any other game i play…
The reason I am losing hope in CS isn't that we aren't getting new gameplay content and valve is clearly only interested in milking the community for money. It's that I won't be able to even play the game properly on a system that has comfortably run any AAA-title I've thrown at it.
Since the update I've been getting 35-80ms frametime spikes multiple times a round when I peek into a new angle or an enemy enters my screen. It's genuinely gotten to the point where I lose multiple gunfights every game just cause the game refuses to update my screen while I'm trying to fight. By now Cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing on ultra has more consistent frame times on my system than CS does.
And y'all can talk all you want about how networking hasn't changed, but before the update I did not randomly jolt back half a meter every 30 seconds when running around the map.
Like I genuinely wanna be positive about the future of this game, but being an optimist is just really hard when Valve takes two steps back for every step forward.
warowl play like s1mple vs eco.
you're a little bit late with this video
Seems a good time to return … Maybe remove the 7day trade ban would be nice …. Back to 3 sounds reasonable 🙂
5:00 Armory is permanent and unrelated to an operation
Should have added a ak74
My one deag has been hitting since the last update
You can get weapon charm removal tools for free from your weekly item drop
am i the only one that has huge performance issues since this update? almost unplayable sometimes
You arent going back to that restaurant, but you are going back to Counter Strike
The charms should make realistic keychain sounds
honestly if they drop a new (and working) anticheat with cobblestone(and please rotate premier maps) ill be set for another year
video, good
You missed the part where you need to buy prime to even get access to the armory, so your first armory pass would run about $45 CAD ($idgaf USD)
Game feel worse than year ago, they completely broke it with too much jittering and stuttering
When you say you dont have a closer but that has become your closer and now the statement has birthed a paradox in which you cant not speak the truth on having a closer because in doing so you actually wont. I dub this phenomenon shrödingers closer
Most important part of the video is the last 30 seconds
4:24 Wrong, bot acounts might get banned, people that farmed the game normal didn't, if you joined a normal casual or deathmatch you wouldn't get banned, you could see people running mid with p90 or in deathmatch people running to a place and taking turns to kill eachother with a knife. Streamers on the other hand, like ArrowCS, Sparkles, etc, etc did get banned because those streamers joined CHEATED LOBBYS made by cheaters and earned 11 stars in 9 minutes, some of the streamers redeeming over 600 stars.
Not fair if you think about it, because people were playing thousands of minutes to get what the streamer got for 10 minutes in A CHEATED LOBBY… They got a year ban (Some deserve more time tbh. The only thing that this ban affects is that they cannot sell items, yes, the ban is a joke, they can use any other feature but not selling or trading from their account, they can still accept trades and get items)
The aura in this video

battle pass is junk, i already had to pay for the stupid game

Yeah dude CS2 fucks. I can't stop watching tournaments.
Take it from an Overwatch 1 player, you guys are winning with this sequel
the farming is not bad IF it’s done on something unranked. If it’s done in ranked then that is bad
also why tf is Italy in competitive now??? It’s literally worse than Office
Dont take away my Vertigo 🙁
Yes, Cobblestone!! Fully agreed we need that added
I don't know, a monetization centric update is pretty grim
They release what ever make more money, they dont give f about community or what they want, stop buying this crap.
