My opinion on cs2. pros and cons (mainly cons)

[Kayne Vest]

so long story short. I am not the greatest player in this game but not the worst tho. I was kicking silvers ass back in csgo and did pretty well in gold novas and mg:s
now tho since the "official" release of cs2, Valve chose to do Blizzards and deleted their old phenomenal game aka csgo.
At first I didnt have any problems with it but now, later on I have found couple of ones worth saying about.

-The entire "Sub-tick" thing. they promised us some 128 tick servers but I assume we havent gotten them. why? Many say its becouse of the cost of them but I think its complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, since Valve got more than enough money to spend by numerous different reasons such as cases, skins, prime etc. And then instead we got this Sub-Tick thing...
The internet is filled with clips of players getting shot behind cover by enemies they peeked seconds before. and what I can remember, i almost never saw this in csgo.
Its a big problem and I see it happen almost every premier match that I take.
Valve pls fix.

- Unfair competition. So I just told that Im not the best player in cs, but not the worst neither.
what I have seen happen a lot is that actual silver level players end up against lemis and dmgs that makes the match completely broken. Its bad since the csgo ranking did pretty good job at putting players against the same skill level, but now Valve seems to have erased the former ranks and put the entire ranks/elo under chaos.
its sad since many lower tier players cant enjoy the game as much as before.
(they also contain around 30%-40% of the entire playerbase)
hopefully this is just a problem in launch and in time it will be fixed.

-Ranks for each map in comp. I dont know if its a good idea for it to be like this but in my opinion it doesnt make any sense. In csgo a thing that motivated me and many of my friends to play was to rank up in comp and the unique ranks made it a lot more interesting than a simple elo and some colors. it was a lot cooler to become gold nova for the first time than to become 6000 elo for the first time.
It takes 90 full lenght mr24 matches for you to get ranks for each maps and in future it will take more when more maps will be released to cs2.

-premier mode becoming the main gamemode. To be honest, I dont have anything against it and i think its a lot more interesting than normal solo queue in dust2 but many of my friends hate it and so do many other people. This is cause normal competitive seems to be more like a beginners mode where you learn to play maps before moving up to premier mode.

- losing csgo ranks. I didnt really mind it since I had played mainly for fun, but one of my friends grinded for 1600 wins in csgo to get global and only 4 months later all his 3k+ hours of hard work and grind in csgo were lost for him to get 3000 elo in cs2
obviously he is furious and has atleast for now stopped playing.
I belive many other former globals feel the same way.

-frame rate and fps problems. I dont have any, but my friends do.
many cs players dont have best pcs to play cyberpunk 2077 on max graphics so csgo was a perfect game to play since it didnt need any super good pcs to run above 120fps
but in cs2 some of my friends are experiencing as low as 40fps matches in ancient and overpass and generally lower fps in the game.
Yes of course its nice and good looking but at the end of the day, cs is a fps shooter where most people play for competitive reasons instead than experiencing the beautiful nature of infernos skybox.

-new sprays suck. yes you have to learn them again but for me who has mastered them for the past 1400 hours on cs they have kinda stayed in my muscle memory and has caused some problems with spray control.

-microphone problems. I dont know if anybody else has had the same problem as I but I have tried everything possible to fix my mic. so sometimes in the game voice chat my messages go throught and sometimes nothing comes out. my mic doesnt have any problems on discord and other fps games. its a serious communication problem that I have only had in cs2. so pls comment some help for me if possible D:

-console commands not working.
so first no net_graphs 1 anymore. so stupid, it was an easy way if seeing your fps, ping, VAR and other information all in one place not in the way of the game. they chose to delete it and instead they got the fps on top right corner and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flashing green ping thing too. seriously its so damn annoying and I hate it, instead now i have to manually check my ping for the scoreboard that I cannot do in middle of a firefight and it seems to be a bit late, sometimes the ping in scoreboard changes ones every 3 seconds that wasnt the case in net graph. or the other one, more accurate was to press shift+tab to see the correct ping :) not gonna happen in middle of a gunfight neither.
soo they also seem to have changed the name and workings of other console commands as and example the jump+throw command.

there are some more things but these were the ones that came to mind first.

I agree... CS 2 has some complaint on compatibility issues because the graphics became enhanced. No wonder FPS dropped at some point, even if you set the graphic setting to low... net_graph 1 moved to cq_net_graph 1 but it's not with text stats anymore, but only showing the lines of your connection related including ping, FPS, etc which is kinda makes me don't quite understand that...
