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?

CS2 Player Wishlist:

1. We need Subtick WITH 128 Tick.
2. Better anti cheat for Matchmaking and Premier.
3. Cl_bob, Clear_Decals reintroduced.
4. Older game modes and community modes like surf reintroduced/ revamped.
5. Fix dying behind walls, rubberbanding, and the insane peekers advantage.
6. Improve Bunny hopping and movement.
7. We should always able to reconnect if network drops.
8. Fix the "XYZ" did not accept the match problem where the accept icon does not even show up.
9. We need Train, Cache, and Cobblestone back.
10. If all or most of these are met, a new operation would be awesome.

Valve took a game that people play for the feel and the gunplay and they ruined the feel and the gunplay

[DarkZuckerberg]

In Dota, everything got better after they switched to Source 2. In CS, they improved the graphics and ruined everything else.

"Thank our friends at ibuypower" hmm not sure about that one chief.
Id rather thank titan for making my gun more expensive.

The hit registration feels horrendously bad sometimes.

[giuseppe]

It feels terrible because:
1. It's not smooth as csgo was.
2. Kills through walls.
3. Shots not recorded.
4. Anti cheat system.

funny how this video comes out legit the day I uninstalled cs2 and I don't think I'll comeback until they fix everything wrong with the game... I miss csgo and the fact that anyone could run it.

Cs2 has one of the worst netcode among online shooters. And I dont think it is going to change

[Noseflap-watching]

It's game to game for me. It is literal random weather or not my bullets are working or even if I can move properly. Some servers I'm literally getting moved and pushed around, some servers every bullet I shoot hits and I just can't die.

Finally someone said it. I know love CS and I know the CS diehards are too stubborn to admit riot games and valorant do anything better than CS but how fucking hard is it to hire a community manager? The fact that CS community has gone so long without a clear line of communication with the devs is actually baffling.

"Dude csgo had a poor launch, so cs2 can have one too"

[Alix.]

Volvo managed to kill CSGO and CS2 at the same time

[VoiceOfReason]

It's crazy how I've talked about all of this in Premier 22, 000 and Faceit 10 and everybody just shit talks me like I'm an idiot.

[cyko]

the most frustrating thing about cs2 for me is how the character models fucking wobble, lean and deform when they strafe.

In csgo the hitboxes was weird but at least they moved linearly.
Now its so difficult to predict movement because your legs torso and head are all moving weird directions.

in csgo people who practiced movement were actually hard to predict with bhops and air strafing. It was actually impressive and a respectabled skill.
now it seems like every guy with A + D keys can just spam it while spraying and his body is all over the place.

The why is ez, we as the players let valve get away with this shit for years and continue to give them millions for their damn disgusting gambling shit. It's really just disgusting

[jefferfe]

So many cheaters. That alone makes this game so not worth playing.

[kevy]

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.

[the_wobbly_witch]

i just dont understand why they had to push off csgo before cs2 is even off it's beta phase..

[lando_commando]

all we can do is pray eventually it will be great, but right now it’s not even close
