Honestly? Kinda hate cs2. It runs worse (3080ti btw), most of my smoke grenades no longer work, they removed team deathmatch, they removed short competitive matches, and you can no longer play csgo. The more I play the less I'm a fan
I get the feeling it was pushed out before everything was ready. I am willing to bet that all these missing features are coming later. Not sure why they didn't just wait before pushing out the game. The smokes are just different, players just need to adapt to new mechanics instead of using the same grenade tactics that they've memorized for years.
Yeah they haven't confirmed whether these features are making it back I believe, but they really ought to and I expect they will too. Smokes Im fine with. Mostly just annoying since the game feels almost identical to GO. A lot of smokes still work too so it's kinda trial and error to find which ones work now and dont.
I also find it annoying I can no longer see how much I damaged an enemy via console, but that's fair enough too.
The fact that CS2 feels, looks and plays the same as GO did was the biggest aim by valve and wish from players. This was the goal: Redo the game in a new engine. Thats what they did. We can argue if there are inportant features missing or not, but the same feel but reworked smokes is both a feature which most of dedicated players wished for
I am in that camp, honestly! I just miss my old features and there are some quirks and growing pains. I really miss most of all short competitive. It was much lower stress and commitment. I can only play so many games and to be stuck in a one-sided long one feels bad. I am just a bit underwhelmed overall, but perhaps it is my expectations.
At least you can still play source :(
You can still play go if you want, there's a beta called "csgo demo viewer" that can connect to community servers.
Huh, I thought this was an entirely different game... is this a similar scenario of what happened with the Warcraft III remake?
It's on a new engine and is technically a new game but Valve overwrote cs:go to make the inventory changeover work afaik. Lots of people seem to not know about the beta option to play GO, I think Valve should make a better process to access it so more people know that it's an option.
Isn't CSGO CPU bound for the most part anyways?
Generally yeah but it still matters. I have a 5800X fwiw
It runs fine on my Linux laptop, which has a 3070.
I get dips below 100 at 1440p 🙃 time to install linux again
Well now that I think about it, I never played CS GO on this laptop, so I have nothing to compare against.
I would say it runs "fine". Just far worse than such a visually unimpressive game should (I don't play cs for graphics anyway). The whole release feels like a dud. Feels like they pulled an Overwatch 2:
Replace the old game, remove a ton of stuff people liked (at least I liked). I'll still play - it's not terrible - but it feels lacking
3080ti here at 3440x1440 and I don't think I've ever dipped below 150 FPS, and whenever I look it's in the mid 200's
I think much missing stuff is going to be coming. I think they just didn't want to delay CS2 any longer. CSGO is still playable from the properties panel. You can enable a legacy CSGO mode. Not sure about matchmaking though.
On my 3060ti with max everything I always have over 200 fps, but yes, definitely not as fast as CSGO still. What fps are you getting?
It seems odd not to have TDM from the outset. I somehow doubt turning off team damage or shortening the match length requires a huge dev lift. Maybe some surrounding infrastructure but still. On the FPS, I'll have to check! It feels like a lot lower than 200. I only have 144hz anyway so it must be worse than that
