I don't know how you expect people to take you seriously when you're literally cheating in the footage of yourself that you're talking over, lmao.

they shouldve held the open beta longer so the transition would be easier and would give more time for the devs to polish the game

I'll make this simple. Valve should have release CS2 when they did, but they should have kept CSGO running while they sorted this shit out.

they are not stupid for releasing cs2 they are stupid for deleting csgo , should have been just like every old cs game leaving us the option to play on community servers

Valve is not an Indie Game Company. They have no excuse for releasing this pos in its current state

if you agreed with me on anything in this video know I was being completely serious and if you disagree with me on anything it was actually satire/parody/ironic

They should never have announced it in April, they should have worked with pros completely in the dark, like NDA in the dark, in regards to movement, shooting, tickrate, etc. then maybe announce the game close to now. I believe Paris had something to do with the release schedule and it’s sad that we got a slightly undercooked game, but Valve is working on it and we will eventually love this game just like we did GO. As long as Valve fix hit reg, cheaters, movement, and tickrate then we should be fine.

-25% player base. not our fault we can't run the game at competitive levels. they could have made it with that in mind, but they chose to add a little reflection and some cute graffitis here and there instead. to make it look pretty, depsite everyone running it on low settings anyway🤦

Having someone who isn't trapped in a bubble of hate and can think freely is invaluable, based video my friend 😎

Oh my gorsh I fricken loved this Video with the music and the near number crunching Topical debate it almost felt like a is JxmyHighroller made a CS video. I really enjoyed your Breaking down of others arguments and examples of how they are fairly highly exaggeration of the actual events. Love you Kris Keep making more wonderful content Every video is Just a straight 10/10

My only real issue with CS2 at this point is random freezes and screen tearing... The screen tearing is slowly being fixed I've noticed.

extremel good vid, great editing, good script, well articulated, love it - especially how you responded to the take at 5:50 LOL

I was there in the CSGO beta and it's all true. Everyone hated everything. The recoil was impossible to control because the screenshake didn't telegraph the next bullet like in CS 1.6. Then we figured out that it was the same all the time and you could just memorize it, and then everyone hated how memorizing the recoil took away the skill out of controlling it and got away with the decisions of how to shoot in each situation because the answer to every fight was spraying. Funny thing is, now that CS has competition inspired by CS1.6, the same players defend memorizable recoil as the pinnacle of shooting skill.

I’m no where duck riding valve, and the current states of CS2 is not even feel like a release-ready product, but I have to agree with this video, ur words will wake people up for CS2, it needed to be said since the week one of release.

My hot take is that CS2 is a great foundation. The game is ofc lacking in content, but this can easily be fixed in less then a year. Ive played CS since 2005, and i was getting bored of CS:GO.

this is a dope video and i was getting hyped watching the gameplay. keep it up man

i am honestly genuinely happy i get to play cs2, even with all the issues it currently has. Valve couldve just taken another year or 2 and worked hard behind closed doors with pros and NDAs and shit but instead they decided to let everyone try the game. love cs2 so far and excited to see all the cool shit source 2 can do for the game

I have been embarrassed to be a part of this community as of late. The people making noise are so ignorant, it's disgusting. So many haters who just weren't around for Source or CSGO launch. I hate that we are the community known for being idiots and racists.

I honestly only agree somewhat with what you're saying, yes CS2 isn't as good as CSGO and that's completely understandable since it just came out but not all of the hate that revolves around CS2 is particular to the game itself, I'm talking about Valve and the decisions they've made, just because CSGO had issues on launch a decade ago does not mean it's fine if CS2 comes out as an unfinished game and as a replacement of the superior version given that people paid money for that game though I understand why they did it. Not giving everyone Beta access from the very beginning but instead giving it to people who rarely play or don't have any hours, streamers who milk it for content of course who were supportive of the game because they made money off of it but now they're complaining as well. Then you have a Valve Developer telling you to cap the game at 120fps while claiming it is not his issue to find out why there are performance issues, while he took back what he said it still makes you wonder why someone would say that. Hardcoding 64 tick into the game which is another issue and also removing GOTV-Spectate along with Overwatch, I can't even be certain if someone is cheating now, also I can imagine why people still complain about the Michael Jackson peek because while they claimed it was patched yet there were still instances of it happening. You can't even compare CS2 to CSGO as you'd compare CSGO to 1.6 because in this current sequel half of the content is missing from its predecessor but I do agree that they've also made improvements from CSGO, workshop maps which is what made Counterstrike great as well, KZ, Surf, Retake servers can still be found but there isn't even a community server browser that works, you have to manually search it up on google which just sucks. You using IEM Sydney as an example is also not really great since they're playing on LAN with no delay, some of the pros clearly stated that the game is more enjoyable on lan but still has its flaws while it's horrible to play online. I'm a player that doesn't hate just to hate and completely understands if someone likes CS2 and enjoys it but I feel like getting fucked over by a multi-billion dollar company that runs all over its consumers and doesn't seem to care since they're making hundreds of millions in cases with this unfinished game in a month. Also to add the lack of transparency Valve has with the community is giving a lot of people a headache, if they could at the very least tell us what they're working on or what their thought process behind some of the changes I'd be happier. I could add a lot more things as to why I'm disappointed but I've written enough, I do think this game can be greater than CSGO but some of the hate Valve is getting is deserved.

I honestly 100% agree on this. In my experience of playing CS2 I didn't notice any issues (see edit), but I see a lot of people complain about the same things. It is just the beginning and things are going to get better from here, I'm really enjoying CS2 so far. Great video! Edit: It is worth noting that I play MAX 3 hours of CS2 a week, so it might not be enough for me to see issues with the game, but as a casual player, my experience is great.

Counterstrike 2 actually made me start playing again. I believe it is the future of counterstrike and it's bright. Valve just needs to fix the sub-tick issue and the servers. I have died multiple times after I peeked and quite literally gone far into cover. It's like ghost bullets and I don't have packet loss. It's not a big issue with rifles but with the awp it is game breaking.

9:54 the hitboxes were already fixed quite a while ago and the subtick "bug" has been actually explained. When you shoot, the change is applied after each tick. That's why sometimes it might seem like your shot went somewhere else than your crosshair is. The game remembers when you actually pressed your mouse button and applies that shot on the next tick, so if you shoot in between ticks, the server is basically showing you your past. If this is a good or bad thing is debatable, I recommend watching some RECENT videos and make your own opinion. Subtick kind of reduces consistency since now your shots are precisely at the moment when you pressed your mouse button and not locked to ticks. Edit: There were ways to lock your shots and movement to ticks as shown in the video, only Valve knows what they will do about that. The subtick system needs a lot of polishing. Great video by the way. 10/10

My main issues with cs2 are the missing console commands it’s weird how they haven’t released a proper net graph and the cl_bob commands yet, but overall great video

Lol jxmyhighroller impression, also good video dawg

great video. despite its flaws i've been really enjoying CS2, mostly because of the improvement no one mentions: stability in my experience, CSGO used to crash for seemingly no reason (both on windows and linux), and sometimes it'd freeze during the loading screen (kinda bad, because i couldn't tell whether the game was loading slowly or entirely frozen). i was never able to figure out why, since my PC is good enough (as showcased by me not complaining about CS2 lol) now, not only neither happens anymore, but - simple though it is - the loading screen being essentially a slideshow helps me make sure that the game is actually loading, and not frozen (if it's advancing to the next slide, it's loading, else it's frozen and i must restart the game). the change to a more modern engine was sorely needed for CS, and i'm glad it finally happened. heavily looking forward to its glaring issues being fixed though

genuinely the first sane take i've seen

CS2 is my first Counter Strike and I’m loving it… it may because I’ve never played the older ones but I think the game is fun and the people in game are fun (sometimes)

Very nice video man, I am subscribing :)

literally everytime i try to play 2 minutes of cs2 i close the game and open 1.6

this video is a masterclass in saying a lot and yet not saying much at all

1 thing I'm sure about players wanted cs2 asap was due to VAC LIVE. Most players wished for that.

Love the rant! Great take ;)

In my opinion, it is a good thing they removed CSGO and forced everyone to play CS2. No one would have played CS2 for some time, and everyone would complain (while not actually doing anything to help test it). Valve is a very small company employee-wise, and they can't test every single edge case. If you still want to play csgo, play community servers with your friends

CS:GO has been released for a bit more than 11 years and instead of taking the good parts about CS:GO and incoperate them into CS2, they've actually removed a big portion of it and decided to make new, and in Valve's eyes, "better changes". 11 years of progress in a game right down the drain basically. Let's also not forget that when CS:GO was about to get released, that Valve turned to all the pro's and community and wanted their input on what to improve within the game itself. Once they had a stable playerbase and the game was up and running, they basically didn't care anymore at all about asking about ppl's inputs. The changes Valve mad throughout the years regarding changing the footsteps-sound, the weapon-sounds, taking them ages to fix the hitbox etc etc. shows that they really have no f*cking clue what they're on about and that they're focusing on the completely wrong things. The problem with CS2 is exactly the same, so it's basically 11 years of progress down the drain and now they think they know what the community wants whilst having zero clue. Also, imagine being a completely fresh CS2 player, e.g. coming from Valorant, Call of duty, Apex.. you name it.. and the first thing you get to encounter is cheaters within the first few games you're playing, IN A BRAND NEW GAME as well. Valve losing a portion of their playerbase due to the game not being finished apparantly isn't enough, cuz they obviously want to lose players due to cheaters as well. So, what exactly is so good about this game then? I can't really say too much positive about the game itself, cuz the only way you're able to have fun in this game is if you create the "fun-experience" yourself by playing as a 5-stack etc. It's sad, just sad.

Nice video kei. I watched your newest video first. Two bangers in a row. I really liked the CSS to CSGO comparison from when it first came out, really cool honestly.á

The only problem i face with cs2 is that Valve updated csgo to cs2. They could've just made an entire new application instead of updating csgo to cs2.

thanks for being a voice of reason. cs2 feels very similar to any other cs in my opinion and i know this because i was there in the beta 1999. i felt the changes between 1.3 and 1.4 i felt the changes between 1.6 and source. source to csgo and now csgo to cs2. csgo to cs2 is by far the most similar. i see pros complain about bunnyhopping being bad but it feels exactly the same to me. people that want the same game over and over without changes are people that are dying and they'll be left behind with time. time does not care about your morals, opinions, or any of your individual nonsense. cs2 has issues just like any other game. imagine they released cs beta in 2023 lmao imagine they released 1.6 but with 2023 graphics even without the bugs people would hate it.

time traveler kicks a rock jxmyhighroller becomes a cs youtuber

im not surprised valve mostly ignores the community unless its big issues, because CS players have the worst takes known to man most clips i see online about "netcode issues" are literal skill issues

god thank you for this video, sick and tired of the persistent whining from people. Yeah the game isn't perfect, literally everyone understands that. I swear people whine and moan just for the sake of it

Honestly apart from the abysmall performance I got with high end hardware (tons of stutters, graphical glitches), the straw which broke the camel's back for me was that they removed the left hand viewmodel command. Gonna check back in a few months, hopefully eventually they'll fix it.

These highlights in the background go hard bro

The only complaint I have is the matchmaking system. Me and my friends are getting matched with really experienced players that are way better than us so matches aren't fun at all

i have only been playing cs since like late 2017 and i am so happy we got cs2. yes, it has some problems but overall i am really happy with what we got so far. i know it feels a bit different, but i dont think that’s gonna be a long term issue, we will get used to it. all these silvers trash talking cs2 because everyone else is doing it is just absolutely insane to me

very nice

ur channel is so underrated bro. i hope u grow big

Wow, i didn't even notice how small your channel was until i scrolled down, this video is really well made, also 100% agree

Great video man, been playing csgo since 2014 and idk I’m still enjoying playing cs2. Thanks to the new look of the game I’ve been able to convince a lot of my friends that would never have touched csgo due to the graphics to hop on and have some fun. Can’t wait to watch cs2 flourish ❤

Enjoy the freshness and bugs/randomness while it lasts, everyone will be looking back reminiscing about cs2’s release once the games ironed out and extremely consistent.

Kids today: Im sigma, Im an alfa, I adapt and overcome. I love Tate and Goggins. Kids also today: I move different in a videogame 😭

i never really got into CSGO but have been *really* enjoying CS2. maybe it was the follow recoil setting or something but it just is more fun now to me

I'm actually enjoying CS2 more than I was the last two years of CS:GO and I played CS:GO for seven years. I was reaching a point in which I was absolutely bored of CS:GO. It felt like the meta was always the same. Every game felt the same and because of how dark it was, it often felt gloomy after losing matches ( hell, even winning matches felt meh sometimes ). I've noticed the increased brightness makes me feel better. I'm also excited because a lot of guns and stickers are better in CS2 and the investing opportunity is great. The new smokes add a new dimension to the game that makes it feel more dynamic and strategic, which is why I loved CS:GO in the first place.

cs2 doesn't feel good to play but at least it's getting better

Had to upgrade my 1060 laptop to RTX 4080 and the game feels so different with 500+ fps, before I has less than 100fps

in CS2 playing in low video settings is just hugely disadvantage for you. in high or very high, you get shadows... dynamic shadows, give you so much power.

actually one of your best videos also sick clips

Great video my exact thoughts, glad someone was able to put it all together for me to share. People love to hate.

people don't like change and negativity gets more clicks and engagement so it is partly an illusion as loud people get noticed. I really like it so far

some people who are complaining about the frames are complaining about random stutters or frame drops. My pc runs the game totally fine, but the moment there a nade explosion or a molly, there's quite a bit of stutter even with particle effects set to low.

People do tend to forget just how bad csgo was at release. I think they should have kept csgo and cs2 rolling along side each other for a little while though. Have a sort of long open beta for cs2.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO WE NEED MORE PPL LIKE YOU!!!!

the main performance issue with cs2 is the vram miss lag, ie when out of vram the game uses system ram, and it takes 100ms on a frame to load, on my 3gb 1060 this make awping unplayable and on my 7900xtx it eats nearly 10 GB of vram + 500 MB if zoomed in with awp

9:20 I absolutely LOVE the new smokes and what u can do with em. Ye the game has alot of stuff that needs fixing but its still gonna be a great fucking game.

No one asked for arms race, scoutsman, dangerzone, r_drawothermodels and godmode to be removed yet herr we are.. With a package of bad optimization and imo ugly artstyle

They should never have killed CSGO. Let both games compete and see which one the players prefer to play!!

Good that you brought up the reactions people are having about CS2 compared to the reaction people had to CSGO when it was released! It's basically all the same.

I want to CS2 be deleted

cs2's jxmyhighroller

W takes from you king, liked and subbed

Good take man, people just love to hate and forget the past

i wanted source 2 to release too but i never thought that they will replace it with csgo i always thought that its just gonna be a whole different game i honestly miss it just because it was a casual game to play with friends did some montages on it mainly the only thing i liked about it is movement and honestly i got no issues with the game as long as they fixed the movement anyways RIP csgo it is what it is

The fact people just can’t conceptualize the fact that a game like CS will take time to become truly great again. Right now Valve has taken a few steps back but in due time, they will have ran the whole marathon. People just need to wait man.

CS 1.6 > any other CS released after that

6:43 i think you meant no galaxy in our seemingly infinite universe but we get the point anyway. great video

Loved the video, I can almost confirm twists was talking about simple.

I agree. CS2 is Rough, but it'll surpass CSGO in a fairly short amount of time.

Make more cs content this was a good watch

first 3 mins got me to sub. nice vid btw

Your mouse movement is insane dude. Man has more time on CS then I have on Steam as a whole.

I wish i could like a video twice

insane the extent that pro players don't know so much about how game development works internally at valve despite dedicating their life to a single game.

If valve listened to the cries of the playerbase then we would still be stuck in 1.6 and the scene would be dead, in a casket, in the ground

Good video man, liked and subbed

I’m so glad someone finally said this. Cs2 actually dope and I hope it stays dope and the community doesn’t ruin it.

I’ve just enjoying CS2 a lot lately. It’s refreshing to see Valve work hard again with the consist updates. Even TF2 has been getting some decent content for Halloween.

Good points and all that but I was so mesmerized looking at the gameplay i could barely pay attention

opening twitter was fatal error

why did this aimbotting 12yo steal the name of an actual cs pro?

You and 3kliksphillip are those rare people who still have positivity and fate into this game. May you get success in the future letter kei.

Finally someone that makes sense when speaking, thinking critically, and not just complaining.

Great video honestly, I get so frustrated when people say Valve is this evil company and when we can just look at other games

thanks for saying what had to be said, proper voice of reason. valve is one of the few remaining companies who knows how to cook a long term game and i trust them on the process.

people saying it runs bad are actually trolling bro, ive got a 1050ti that ive used for years and it runs just like csgo

great video man, factual AF and funny!

in dev for 4~ years, in beta for half a year, yet: - basic things not in game like: - - left hand - - viewbobbing - - (proper) netgraph - - remove decals, - - player count instead of pictures (added 2 weeks after release) - - demo viewer - - workshop - horrible implementation of subtick (e.g. incredible peekers advantage, dying behind walls, inconsistent movement) - - said subtick was implemented because according to valve most of csgo playerbases hardware spec couldnt properly leverage 128 tick - - - game is so "unoptimized" said players can barely run cs2 to begin with - economy is not balanced for mr12 - amd users VACd for drivers - hlae VACd with -insecure - the buy menu technically being just a downgrade unless they plan on adding new guns // but whatever floats your boat, I know some people like it and there are always two sides to a coin - game is BRIGHT // not a general problem, but a lot of people (me included) claim eye strain when playing with 100% brightness I'm aware most of these are just nitpicks and will be fixed/added down the line, but they are missing nonetheless. Now, Do I disagree with what you said? No Is the game perfect? No Is the game terrible? No Is the game good? Debatable People who only see the bad in it and claim that the game is a piece of pooch-poo are just as dumdum as people who try their best to ignore the issues, claim that it's perfect and are willing to defend it with their lives. But with that said, Go has been out for 10 years, they had a decade to learn from everything GO got right and wrong. Defending the game by saying that Go had a just as bad- if not -worse launch is just wrong. I think valve simply "98 in 4"-d themselves in the foot by saying it would release in the summer. I'll be honest, I didn't play the beta, didn't want to nor cared enough to, so I have no idea what was going on back then but half a year of beta and the game launching with the subtick system being in such a weird state is just... weird. Feel free to disagree or critique, sorry for the weird choice of words, big bro doesn't want me to use no-no words and I don't want to test their limits after 2 slaps on the wrist

my problem with cs2 isn't that its bad, its that its unfinished. csgo felt complete and after playing for nearly 6000 hours I felt I've mastered the game mechanics and was starting my journey into pro cs but then cs2 comes out and most of the settings I've become used to are just gone. and the subtick system feels really bad. and the bugs make the game feel unfair which is one of the main reasons i love counterstrike in the first place, the fairness. not to mention the lack of community servers.

THANK YOU BRO CS2 ain't perfect, but the way a large part of the community is reacting is very, very childish and hypocritical

that s a great and well made video, hope to see you more on yt

I thank you for using Logic, i know friends and people who are just unreasonably mad at the game and when asked scramble to give a response

While I agree with a lot of criticism and disagree with a lot of the delusion of some people on twitter (people overreacting because that's how you get engagement) and have already stopped playing CS2 till they fix things, to me the most egregious thing is the fact that they both removed CSGO and removed maps. A lot of the small issues are whatever to me because I only play the dogshit maps and never play premier because i dont want to play Mirage/Inferno only and in OCE there is just infinite cheaters. I do really wish valve would address peekers advantage and the XM, and bring back the dogshit fun maps for comp (Agency, Assault, Italy etc) Balls.
