The players' frustration suggests that the problems the community is facing are not just individual complaints, but systemic difficulties that affect even the best. This jeopardizes the long-term success of CS2, making the issue a pressing one for anyone following the scene.
CS2 History
CS2 officially released on September 27, 2023, marking a new stage in the history of competitive shooters. However, despite high expectations, the game already faced criticism at launch. The first reviews focused on bugs, performance, and the overall quality of gameplay. Even the beta version, launched in March of the same year, raised a number of questions for the developers.
Over the past year Valve has managed to fix some of the problems, but according to players, many key aspects remained unchanged. Particularly acute is the issue of anti-reading and netcode, which, as many believe, do not meet modern standards.
What's wrong with CS2?
The greatest dissatisfaction is expressed by NiKo and ropz in their interviews with BLAST.tv. “We took a step back instead of two steps forward,” says NiKo, emphasizing that a year after release the game is still far from perfect. The main complaints concern bugs, performance and anti-chit, which, according to many, is not effective enough for a game of this level.
Particular attention is paid to the work of servers. Ropz notes that the transition from 128 tick servers deteriorated the quality of the game, and returning to them could improve the situation. Players also complain about low FPS, which causes problems at tournaments, especially when transitioning between matches. Ropz sarcastically predicts that the game won't reach its potential until 2030. This comment underscores the extent of the frustration shared by many players.
The future of CS2
The opinions of players of NiKo and ropz level are important not only for fans, but also for Valve itself. These comments can be a signal to the developers that they need to take urgent measures to improve the game. Otherwise, CS2 may lose its place as the main cybersport discipline, and competitors may start to strengthen their positions.
