CS2 graphics are worse in my opinion.

[Imissmyboyfriend]

catchy title but for real. its brighter and theres more pixels but everything looks plastic, my skins look plastic and all the guns look way too fresh. maybe it would be alright if they added some dynamic dirtyness and marks from playing through a game. idk it just seems more fake now if anything. i hate the sounds too, can we just have the old ones. and your own footsetps are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loud man. autistic counterstrike ree they better not replace csgo for a while.

I completely agree with you on this one. CS2's graphics, while technically more advanced, seem to lack the gritty, authentic feel of the original game. Adding some wear and tear, along with the option to use the classic sounds, would definitely improve the overall experience. The game feels a bit too "polished" now, and I share your sentiment that CS:GO should remain a distinct and cherished part of the Counter-Strike series.

[shiny poopoo]

i also like the feel of the old game

[Artuurs]

Youre not wrong. So much grit, detail, atmosphere and feel is lost, the skies are generic blue without clouds, everything is so bright you might actualy want to turn the brightness down if thats even a option cause many a games dont even offer you that choice, its just sooooo bright, like the hottest day in history or something, so bright and hot that it litearly burns away colorless, everything is so washed out and whiter, theres no vibrancy or deep colors, its not colorfull, i mean, yeah, it has colors but they dont feel like right, its so hard to explain, theres no cool baked in shadows that made the og csgo look better, granted, it was colorlessish before but i didnt mind that, it was just some maps anyway, like the Himalayas map was pretty colorfull for example man. Theres so much detail that is removed too, grass and what not, the enviroments like in Inferno look amazing but, there has been steps taken back 100%, they need to reil some settings, sliders back some. Like, i showed this to my moms friend who is a fan of the og counter strike, and he said it looks like a cartoon or something compared to 1.6. and source. They went way too far and need to head back some, its too clean, too polished, too bright, this is way too sterile, lifeless and safe.

I disagree

italy and inferno looks fabulous, I wish they were real. Maps in cs2 made me realize how soulles, dark and outdated csgo graphics was.

Brightness is a bit too much tho and some skin and sticker textures looks too metallic and matt but thats just all.

I think the main reason most people did not like it is because they are not used to it.

[JacparVIs]

I just agree about CS2 being too bright

[Bullets don't go where I aim]

a year after cs2 is released people will look back and realise just how bad the game looked, same thing with gun sounds after they were changed.

cs2 fixed an issue that csgo had and to be fair still has, visibility of enemies, that alone makes the visuals of cs2 superior to anything that csgo presents.

it works alright for certain maps. they obviously went all out on those ones. the skins still look like ass and they removed the realism of the guns they look ridiculous

You can fix the brightness issue with "r_fullscreen_gamma 3" in the console. The higher the value, the darker the game will be.

In artistic terms, I really like it. I don´t know if it´s fair for me to judge the game in terms of "reality" since it´s a competitive game and seeing your enemy is more important than having realistic camo, for example.

As you stay alive and rounds go on, your weapon should get dirtier

except youre wrong cause half the time when they peeki they dont even show up on your screen

[Moralo Eval]

Just googled this. I agree, it's now unplayable to me mainly cause of the bad new artstyle and cause CS2 has alot of other issues too, I mean just look at the reviews. It's awful. More and more people quitting.

that's already there, they have the film grain shader etc that's used for smoke and stuff like that

it constantly screws up and looks horrible and amateurish, but nobody cares because you're all too busy inspecting your purple awp while you miss all your shots
