The Absolute State of CSGO 2022

Positive comment

If there every was a CS 2, they would have to make skins transferable. Otherwise the market will crash.

The biggest issues that have been in CSGO forever as someone who played on and off since the CS 1.3 days. played at a high level competitively in my country from 1.6/css then gave up in early csgo.

1. The movement speed in CSGO is still slightly too high, due to this the lag compensation causes weird gun fights in the 15-100 ping range. Play some CS 1.6 and you'll see what I mean. You can hold lines far more like Lan play in 1.6 because the movement speed isn't as fast. lower ping = better. in CSGO sometimes lower ping = disadvantage especially on CT.

2. The duck/stand animation/mechanic. I don't know what it is but the way the hitboxes/model move has always been an issue. It's almost a glitch that's been there forever. You see the pro's do it all the time, shoot, duck, shoot, stand, shoot, strafe, shoot duck. because it just glitches out for a bit and makes it harder to hit. go back and play CSS/1.6 and shooting at a guy duck/standing you still hit them, the faster hitter wins nearly always. It's always a slightly rage moment when I shoot at a guy from the side, he ducks and spin shoots me. God one of my CSGO triggers haha.

3. The cheats. The sophistication and level of cheating in not just CSGO but all online popular FPS games is just insane these days. How many features they have and how they can emulate a 'pro' s' aim is really hard to spot. Back in the day nice shot, GG was way more common than lol hacks. Even the pro scene has been under suspicion all the time now after all the pro cheating scandals. I really hate going into an MM match and wondering is that guy just good or is he on the gear? There is a whole economy to support the cheating in CSGO, from smurf account websites to the plethora of cheating providers. I think STEAM from a business point of view doesn't want to stamp it out completely. It's all money to them when these guys pay for smurf accounts/skins to look more like a good player etc etc.

Maybe I'm getting older but I do miss the golden age of cs 1.3-1.6 when cheats were OBVIOUS, the competitive scene all knew each other, communities thrived on mIRC and in servers, people played for respect not money. Anonymous matchmaking wasn't a thing. good times.

I haven't played for 1 and a half year was supreme on mm and my first comp got me dmg so not so bad.. lost next game mge... Faceit is the way to go with my lvl5-6

I thought the new player mode was in the Riot client.
Nah fr tho I largely agree with the wish list, BUT i do like the short match options. Maybe not for the higher ranks, but for like the intro ranks the scrubs like me the shorter matches are great because I need time to go outside and possibly think about talking to a woman sometime.

Global Offensive is already an immortal game you describe right now. They should apply other ideas of yours.

Oh this makes sense. I didn't know the changed the rank system. I got back into cs this month, and ranked up every game from dmg to global. I was LE back in the day then switched to esea. makes more sense now

It's 2023 and CS:GO needs third-party apps for a good matchking experience. Makes rank meaningless and splits up the community for no reason.

Personally would be devastated if they binned the paid/sold/sellable skins. There's definitely a way they can introduce new nice looking skins that you can just earn/buy for cheap directly from CSGO not marketplace

With 500hz panels incoming a good move would be beef up tickrate to "192 or 256" as new age hardware can handle it "no problem" at all.

Nerds are still using 4:3 resolutions and 400dpi.... some people do not like change and if the devs mess with the existing game too much then the mass player base would boycott it and jump ship on the entire game!

The truth from a 20 year esports veteran that has seen everything, riot game's valorant is a POS that's made for gen-z morons who like abilities and perks in their "competitive ranked" fps games.

The POS game has no pov demo option, has no casting/watch in game system like "sourcetv" as seen in CS1.6/CSS/DoD/DoDS/TF2/CSGO/DotA for countless years so you would have no clue if someone is cheating or exploiting the game therefore its a ESPORTS FAILURE!!

Who cares about shills like Tarik, TenZ and Shroud who promote valorant content 24/7..... those peeps be getting paid to SHILL hard ok wake up people

CSGO IS A MAN'S GAME SO STEP UP LADIES AND GENTS!
END RANT!

Csgo hasn’t had a player base drop but it has had a player base SHIFT. A lot of veteran players and prop players have changed games or stopped playing seriously. Most of the OG’s and legends are gone. Most of my friends I played with switched games and community servers are dead. Also a lot of people who switched games try to come back but are hard stuck silver and gold nova but with 1k+ hours. It’s common to play MM in gold nova against people with 5k hours whereas it used to be consistent that gold nova would be people with less than 1k hours

Im new to cs and i bought prime instantly and i love playing it

Building on one game is the way forward. CoD did it this year and messed it up but you can tell it's what they want.

Whats that song i love it i remember it from my childhood

my distaste for valorant is not about having more time invested in CS or money invested in skins... It's because I hate the art style 🤷‍♂

Hi guys! It's been 6 months huh

@warowl did you know something was up?

i stopped playing because CLARA

What i want from source 2. better matchmaking. Less pieces of shits. Like in Valorant everyone i come across for the most part have been nice while in csgo everyone or 80% are douchbags who talk shit(racists) alot, toxic, deaththreats, kicks, teamkilling. These people need to get punished for their actions but they don't.. You can end up in a 4 pre game and you get kicked cause the premades think its funny. or because you f2 when they try kick someone.

Skins. skins need a cap on the price. They are absurdly expensive. im fine buying 100euro on a knife but 1000 euro no thanks. Just frustrating how many times i been added because i own a nice expensive skin and some guy trying to scam me.

Think it would be nice if they kept old csgo and made a new version with the new engine like a complete fresh game and you could still go back to the old version.

Update. source 2 is a major disappointment other than new graphics/models i don't see anything different. It feels like the same game and people upped the price on skins even harder since its reveal. Only good thing is that they might have a new anti cheat now so thats good but the game still havn't changed in 10 years.

Na cs scen have always ben just a lesser region. There orgs come and go, its not like Eu scene. That have ben playing since 1.6 era. It was and still the go to competitive game beside FiFa.
And valorant made a big mistake making it more a heroe shooter, thant a fps game. So I would think, it would have the same balance as lol has. And I dont like lol balance, its shit. Always overtune the new champ to sell the new champ, but only one person can play it making it imbalance.

Guys i found source 2

Im from the future, it's here, it's now

source 2 is here

the fact that valve did exactly this and even way more is just nutz

This aged well

Where

i went from silver 1 to silver 1.

CS2 is here.

Stop complaining, look how valve treats tf2 and the community. Of course you can complain but just know that the tf2 community suffers.

This aged well.

Did you specify which game length you think competitive should be? If you meant it should all be long games that’d be really dumb, so many people can’t make that time commitment

Ladies and gentlemen we found source 2

woah he guessed most of the changes for cs2! thats insane!

Dota kinda being shafted for a few years now. Patch quality really really low and few and far between

And just a few months after the video -- BOOM CS2 announced. WarOwl on point again. Keep on rocking man!

Just recently I got Gold Nova 2 and every round after I bottom fragged and got promoted up to Gold Nova Master and all I get are toxic teammates that really hate me cause I got boosted I got like 1 teammate that tried to help me after 5 rounds

(Narrator voice) It was not, in fact, just getting started.

So glad you don’t design games. Your ideas on game modes and how competitive should work is awful. I truly hope you just keep enjoying the game and not spout your terrible ideas.

Lets hope for cs2

This video aged well

bro jinxed it

I never could actually smurf, but I've never liked the idea. Ever since almost a decade ago, between LoL and CS, I always hated smurfs. They can step on a floor of legos for all I care. I think they're trash and unaccomplished and if you like doing so, it's fine for you, but now you know what I think of you as a person.

bro sees future literally

WarOwl confirmed Vulva

Nostradamus.

its here
