CS2 also proves that despite their reluctance to do so, Valve still has all the chops whenever they choose to put their game developer hat on. Nearly all of the changes in Counter-Strike 2 meaningfully enhance the experience without compromising what made the game special in the first place. With the foundation set for another multi-year run, I’m excited to see how Valve and the community evolve Counter-Strike 2.

Counter-Strike 2 steps boldly onto the competitive scene, but undercooked features and performance issues hold it back from true greatness. - Developer: Valve - Publisher: Valve - Release Date: September 27, 2023 - Platforms: PC - Tested On: PC Pros - Traditional CS Experience - Improved Graphics - New Smoke Mechanics - Better Weapon Designs Cons - Missing Maps - Missing Modes - Gameplay Stutters - Buggy Animations After years of rumors and speculation, Counter-Strike has finally entered a new era with the release of Counter-Strike 2 based on Source 2, the latest iteration of Valve’s engine. While the update introduced exciting new gameplay elements and polished graphics, it has also left many players bewildered and concerned about the disappearance of beloved features and unexpected changes.

Counter-Strike 2 might have gotten the Overwatch treatment with a rebrand, but there are a few differences to be spotted. With a bigger selection of maps and the extra game modes, things might actually start looking up for this release. However, the lack of moderation and optimization might also be what puts the final nails in this game’s coffin.

Counter-Strike 2 is the same game as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, but with a new skin and some performance updates. There’s not much new about the game, with it basically getting an Overwatch spa day treatment. Hopefully, with the regular updates and patches, new content and gameplay will be added, allowing the game to reach new heights and opportunities and maybe some backstory instead of the basics of military first-person shooters. Run and gun is fun, but that’s all it is.

With such a wide array of tweaks, updates, and iterations, Counter-Strike 2 is a significant move forward for the franchise. The community is alight again, and I’m as excited as I’ve been for Valve’s shooter in more than 10 years. Counter-Strike is back, and if the current trend of improvements continues, it’s only going to get better from here out. Counter-Strike 2 was released on Sept.
