What Do Players Wait From Counter-Strike 2?

According to several insiders, the release of the beta version of Counter-Strike 2 awaits us in the coming days. The insiders have already told us about some features, but the community's wish list is much longer. What do players want?

Community wish list

Rating system with rank reset and leaderboard

Let's start with a controversial and, at the same time, desired by many players feature. Ranking reset is a good idea for an online game, and most such projects successfully utilize the ranking reset system. This helps weed out players who abandon the game for a long time, while active players receive a challenge and remain at the top of the leaderboard.

The only problem is that resetting the rank kills players' motivation to raise it because it will reset over time anyway. However, in other online shooters, players put up with these and did not lose interest.

The article by Richard Lewis mentioned the updated rating system, but it is not yet clear how it will change.

Kernels anti-cheat

Of course, players want better anti-cheats. The community is not even against an anti-cheat getting into the hardware of their system, as long as the game is protected as much as possible from dishonest users. And the improvement of the anti-cheat will be there, but will Valve reach the system on cores?

New modes

Many players would like to see exciting modes such as bunnyhop, improved retake, surf, and others. Together with Source 2, this content will be very easy to add to the game, so this can be expected.

Servers with a tick rate of 128

Many players have been waiting for servers with a tick rate of 128 for several years. Active users are waiting for the best registration of the hits system.

Richard Lewis said the developers are ready to introduce servers with a tick rate of 128. They will not be available immediately, but players will finally get what they want.

Demo viewing improvements

Not only professional teams are suffering right now, but also amateur players. Viewing a demo in CS:GO is very outdated, the interface looks like a panel from the early 2000s. When switching rounds, the game hangs for several seconds, and it is almost impossible to rewind the demo.

If Valve really improves viewing demos in Counter-Strike 2 - it will be amazing.

Reduction of toxicity

Dealing with toxic players is an important point for many players. The community is waiting for the system to cool down the search for matches or at least in the chat for toxicity. At some point, it should be implemented because Valve has already started working with it in CS:GO.

Danger Zone update

A stratum of players still play CS:GO Battle Royale. But due to the small amount, the updated mode dies. This upsets the part of the community that liked Valve's implementation of the Battle Royale mechanics, and they are waiting for its development.

These were the most frequent wishes of players regarding the Counter-Strike 2 update. Will we see them in the game? We will find out very soon.
