>most people accepted it
not even then, "most" players were still playing 1.6
GO was the actual breakthrough, where the 1.6 playerbase decided to shift. probably related to its competitive marketing
People mainly switched because they could make steambux by playing the game from dropped skins and cases.
The playercount suddenly skyrocketed and became stable the moment they introduced skins.
Not true, CS GO was way more popular than Source from the start, for example, and it took over 1.6 quite quickly. Cases and skins were a layer addition

CSGO was consistently below both 1.6 and Source until that update
CSGO was consistently below both 1.6 and Source until that update
That graphic clearly shows how most players were still choosing 1.6 over Source, and those are the ones that affected GO's playercount the most once they migrated.
But numbers aside, I was there. And no one liked Source, and for that reason everyone was fine with GO, because it felt like an overall improvement.
CS2 does not feel that way. In fact, it has the same reaction from the public, as Source. Only that in this case, there is no way to stay in GO for a proper comparison.
The few past weeks the open beta was available, everyone I knew didn't quite like the change and went back to GO instead.

Source didn't delete 1.6 so how shit it was didn't matter.
The entire problem is them removing csgo and forcing everyone to play CS2. The Russians and Brazilians are playing with toasters from 2011, of course they'll be pissed if they have to get a new PC. I really don't get why Valve felt the need to not make it a separate game.

The mob mentality is worse than its ever been in history. Something is either the savior of gaming (Baldur's Gate 3) or the worst game ever made (Counter Strike 2).
The worst part is that sometimes the second game just makes more money anyway. Like, a shitload more.
The reaction to CS2 is honestly milder than I expected tbh. The fact it didn't completely set everything on fire compared to how the CS community reacted to Source and GO makes it a resounding success.
Watch. Valve will release one Operation and everyone goes back to slobering their dick.
volvo put literal slot machines into their games they know armies of children play and people still give them a pass because epic gaben half life. not a publicly traded company btw, there is no excuse for these monetization practices
While there is something to be said with regards to Valve relaunching CS:GO as CS2 with basically no gameplay changes.
CS2 was actually a migration to a new engine.
On my 2070S the game stutters every time I enter scope.
But my problem with the game is lack of content. They removed every other mode that aren't the most classic modes and deathmatch, and heavily reduced map pool gets quickly old.
All the body animation shit in CS2 so far is fricking hilarious. People can literally twerk. They can jiggle their hips like a belly dancer. And now this.
And the best part is that some deaths in the game just fricking launch the body to the stratosphere.
>fricking launch the body to the stratosphere.
hasn't this always been a thing when getting a headshot on some guy when he was at the beginning of a jump
that is bad my friend ! the CS need 400 fps to play well competitive! if you have under 100 fps you will have problem with spray control recoil and movement control
for pro players you need more fps !i am pro faceit player and subtick system is worse they broke the game you can see that CS2 now have 400.000 players that mean is bad because was 1milion players
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
Who cares, the idiots are still going to be spend thousands on CSGO cases. “But, I can just sell it and buy games later!!”. Valve still has your money, morons.
Deserved. Valve has been greedy for way too long.
Not surprised to see Ganker defend every lootbox-infested decision Valve makes though, fanboys be fanboyin
Nah, the crying was bigger with the b2p release of CS 1.6 and with Source.
cs 1.5 and 1.6 and Source was the best game
Source was the most hated CS ever released. It took 2-3 years after release that most people accepted it.

CS2 was actually a migration to a new engine.
I don't know what the performance crying is about. I have a 970 and it ran fine with above 60 fps.
Is it just brazilians and russians angry that their Vodoo3 can't run it anymore?

yeah some laptop/desktop dudes with cheap cpus and igpus.
You know hardware on late 00s performance.
moron.
YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY, YOU'VE BEEN STRUCK BY, A SMOOTH CRIMINAL
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN
I fricking love the Heehee Peek so much lmao.

>finished game btw

I think rubikon isn't as finely tuned to CS2 yet so body launches are more common. But I'm not complaining. I adore fun stuff like that.
The MJ peek currently will probably get removed though kek.,
YOU'VE BE HIT BY
LMAO
HOLY
FRICKING
SOVL
I'm pretty sure I posted the exact same webms a few thread ago and it wasn't such shit quality with ESL tier text overlay
Don't give a frick, I just took the first vid I could find on X and converted it to a webm
>wrong aspect ratio
>badly cropped
>black bars
What the frick is wrong with CS players? Why are they completely unable to produce watchable videos?
that is bad my friend ! the CS need 400 fps to play well competitive! if you have under 100 fps you will have problem with spray control recoil and movement control
this but unironically and u dont actually need that much fps as in csgo cuz that game was broken
for pro players you need more fps !i am pro faceit player and subtick system is worse they broke the game you can see that CS2 now have 400.000 players that mean is bad because was 1milion players
Works on my machine
goofy ahh game just play fortnite bro
never had a problem only poorgays complaining
Hello, Zelda bro.
>kys cultist
community servers when
Is Counter Strike ESL-core?
I don't think you understand what that means.
What's your favorite MJ song brehs?
Smoke Criminal ft Stewie2k
makes me really happy that steamgays get shat on
It's kinda sad the game has less QoL features than Valorant even though they had something like 2 years to implement them.
I think valve will add missing stuff later on, they released mapping tools for source 2 so I don't think they'll cater to Comp scene that much
I showed with aka at a crouching person defusing bomb and I missed all the shots that was toxic by valve
don't care, valve are significantly better than any other gaming company
Glad people are waking up.

artifact is valve's worst rated game. did the people writing the article even do any research
Who cares, the idiots are still going to be spend thousands on CSGO cases. “But, I can just sell it and buy games later!!”. Valve still has your money, morons.
Valve doesnt make games anymore so this means very little
Michaelpostingbros we’re so fricking back
