nanoUFOCounter Strike 2 is surprisingly awful on Steam Deck right now
blazeraI try finding out what the 2 is even about, and im seeing stuff like...improved smoke grenades, and ability to refund weapons?
What happened to the number 2 man, that used to be a big deal.
oxheadCS2 is on Source engine 2. Hence the major version bump.
It’s an entirely new engine, that is more than enough to warrant a two. CS has been practically the same game many years and has been incredibly successful all that time. The community does not want major gameplay changes, just minor improvements.
CS2 has much more advanced and consistent smokes, vastly improved graphics, more advanced netcode, competitive improvments alongside a new competitive mode similar to FaceIT, and loads of quality of life improvements. I think this is more than enough to be considered CS2.
I’m pretty happy personally that the community server browser no longer looks like it was made in 1996. The new one actually works on my ultrawide monitor, so I can find servers on my own now. In CSGO, I had to have a friend find a server for us and then I’d just join him.
Yep i’m also a big fan of the new browser. Although, I do wish it opened in the overlay instead of a completely separate window.
The difference between csgo and cs2 is similar to cs 1.6 to cs source. Its a major change of engine with brings in other changes with it.
PsythikWhy is it called CS2, though, instead of CS4? I mean, it’s the fourth game in the series, isn’t it?
because source wasn’t a sequel to them, just an engine port. Why counterstrike 2 is called 2, imo, just because Source 2
Being a new game in a series doesn’t necessarily mean that its the next numbered game, especially to valve. Technically speaking, the other counterstrike project (Condition Zero, single player content) is also a thing.
They should have called it CS: Source 2, then. The game isn’t enough of a change to be considered a sequel. They made the same amount of improvements to this one as they always have in the last. Doesn’t make sense to call it a full-blown sequel.
Wait until you hear about call of duty
MycoPeteAs someone who played lots of cs1.6 let me tell you that cs source was extremely different from cs1.6. In no way was it just an engine port, you are talking out of your ass.
Hence “to them”, not to people. They did make changes. But that doesnt stop what they think. Your opinion doesnt change what they think.
Why so aggressive?
Because calling it CS4 would mean admitting they made a “3”.
