It seems that the Counter-Strike community is wrestling with a series of concerns regarding Valve’s recent ‘update’ of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which existed for a straight decade. At the start of September, Valve released Counter-Strike 2, which is seen as being the next generation of Counter-Strike, but fans from the most casual to the most elite are finding plenty of things to complain about.
On Steam, Counter-Strike 2 has now become Valve’s worst-rated game. That includes all the historic reviews accrued by CSGO over the years, as essentially, Counter-Strike 2 just ‘hijacked’ CSGO’s store page on Steam following its global release.
People Really Aren’t Happy
Out of all Valve games ranging from Left 4 Dead to Portal, nothing boasts worse reviews than Counter-Strike 2 right now. On Steam, the recent review marker reads ‘Mixed’, and in total, there are almost one million reviews considered as negative.
From hitbox issues to concerns with the ‘sub tick’ structure of the servers, and from a stripped-down platform overall to more cheaters than ever before, there are plenty of things that are irritating players of late.
Recently, one professional player, Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev, went on record slamming CS2, stressing that players shouldn’t get on board with the game for a few months, thanks to the teething issues that it’s experiencing.
Are you having issues with CS2, or are you totally happy with the game?
