    CS:GO was fun, they really stripped it down with CS2. Since release we only get 3 maps for Arms Race mode. Sadly all they add is new skins and other gambling features.

    It’s absolutely ridiculous how I still remember playing CS in high school and now my kids are playing it.

        the maps… and the mods. oh, those glorious mods. we ran a vanilla server with extra maps, but the wc3ft mod with ut audio was far more popular… and had servers running tfc, paintball, natural selection, wanted, and the ship.

      I find it interesting how they just kept to original gameplay, in a “let’s not break what’s working” way. Thats a design decision you don’t see that often.

      That’s going to be the case for all Valve games at this point. When Left 4 Dead 2 released back in 2009 I was 18 years old. The 2027 graduating class was born between 2008-2009. So hypothetically, anyone who had a kid in my class right after my graduation would have grown up playing Left 4 Dead and now their kids would be playing it.

      Aside from Alyx, I highly doubt we will ever see any new major titles with the their older games at this point.

    That’s cause cs2 is dogshit

    I’d rant really long as to why but tldr yes cs2 has some nice engine improvements but the core gameplay bread and butter was severely damaged by subtick and was never addressed by valve

        If you’re having fun then there’s nothing else to it

        Subtick technically is not the issue as conceptually the design should handle the gameplay csgo had, the issue is that valve still uses 64 tick servers and subtick didn’t improve on 64 tick at all
