Why is CS2 worse than CSGO?
I'm just curious because I briefly played CS:GO when it was first released, and I remember not liking it very much (don't remember why).

I loved CS 1.5 when I was a teen. Back then, CS 1.6 wasn't released yet. 1.5 was soooo much fun. I played a couple of rounds in CS2 this morning, and it was a decent experience. The aiming and strategy in a Dust map felt almost the same.

I feel like I really missed out on what CS:GO developed into, I suppose. The game must've gotten way better after it was originally released; I don't know.

So, what am I missing in CS2 that was fun in CS:GO?

The game will definitely get better by time as they fix bugs and glitches first then they focus on other features

I think the biggest reasons here are:

A. old players mad at the influx of noobs

B. Probably a good chunk of the CSgo audience were holding onto old PC builds from the year GO came out and they cant do that anymore as the systems requirements have changed.

They aren't steep at all, so it just goes to show you how EASY GO was to run.

It was the best version of the game when it comes to recoils and using all of the weapons. Nothing new tho we got less maps, annoying smoke, molotov, decoy, double shotgun is nicer than usual, ak is super boring now, its still stiff when it comes to rushing in so lots of camping & crouching required. Besides graphics absolutely nothing stands out i got bored already

CS2 issues are not just about bad PCs. It's also not good for many people with decent hardware and internet.

That's because it's new, rushed into release, poorly optimized, the netcode is iffy, nobody knows how to make a config for it yet, and they also removed a lot of the console commands/convars that made for good CSGO configs and performance.

Almost all of the changes are visual, dont expect any major changes. The game just feels different, maybe thats the reason the core of the game is still the same

Im assuming that you dont care about competitiveness and just like the casual fun since you loved cs 1.5, cs2 and csgo is all about competitive fun. Maybe you just dont enjoy modern fps at all?

It sounds like an excuse losers might use after losing a tournament or ranked match xD

Nobody who played 1.5 or even 1.6 will generate that many hours or get excited about cs:go or cs2 (in my case 300 000+ hrs vs 56 hours total between both versions)... It has nothing to do with being competitive, which, by the way, is more about team coordination than individual skills. It has everything to do with the previous versions, allowing for more dynamic plays rather than camping and crouching. Additionally, recoil patterns were harder to get used to. Spamming throwables wasn't a factor either, as it is now used to control funneling. Overall, I am getting bored very quickly with this version, but it does seem a bit more engaging than CS:GO...they can add some new weapons and mods instead of waiting on us hobby coders to mod yet another half baked product.

Could you enlighten me how did you play for 34 years (300k / 24 = (12500 days) / 365 = 34 years) when CS was initially released in 2000 ? Did you found/invent time traveling machine by any chance ?

this game launched without workshop support, and map making requires an RTX card (without an inferior CPU-based workaround)

Literally nobody cared about team coordination, weapon sprays in old cs games. Just hop into a cs server and you will see that not a single person uses the shift button or care about the sprays or communicate with eachother.

Rushing to enemy is not a "dynamic play"

Agree to disagree. Cs 1.5 and 1.6 had over 3 million players on the pirated servers and still alive 20 years later :) Lets see how long this version survives )

I'm pretty sure it clearly says on my profile that I don't like communicating with your kind. Enjoy getting blocked, just like in real life. ;)
