the biggest problem of cs2 was that it was overhyped and seen as something big, we could've just gotten a simple source 2 port but they decided to make a new game. and another reason was because valve didn't wanted to work with a 20 year old game engine

True, along with the fact that they didn't give themselves enough time I would've been fine with waiting for a more finished product if they had just delayed the release and we could've had the opportunity as a community to have more of an impact on the finished product.

I don't think we could have gotten a "simple source 2 port". It was either build the entire game again from the ground up, or nothing. Many people forget that Valve did not actually make CS:GO. Hidden Path did, it was outsourced to this relatively small developer and Valve most likely never expected the game to keep going for 11+ years. Valve only took over maintaining the game at some point into its lifespan. And there were rumours in the past that Valve didn't really know or understand the entire code of the game (because they hadn't made it) and whenever they would try to ship an update or change something, completely different mechanics would just break and nobody would know why. So even if they tried to ship updates and new features, they would be very, very limited in what they could do, without accidentally breaking stuff. The game really was the definition of the term "spaghetti code". I think this was actually the main reason for why they made CS2. They made it so that they could have a much cleaner and organised code to work with in the future. It was an investment in the ability to maintain CS.

@@Starkus23 when i meant simple source 2 port, i didn't meant the new models and remade maps

I think a lot of people misunderstand this, sure csgo was stable and good, but it was being patched with code constantly. It was basically breaking a piece of wood and then glueing it back together constantly in a circle in terms of writing the code for cs. That's why it was hard to update. (Also doesn't help that csgo was made for controller originally as a basis)

I have been made aware of this, but some of my points still stand. All we wanted as a community was 128 tick and better hit reg. That's all we wanted, but instead, we got a piece of polished shit with glitter on it. Valve knew we wanted better tickrate, and decided that peekers advantage should all of the sudden become much worse. CS being ported to source 2 was probably a hell of a big improvement to quality of life for the Valve devs, but they stripped us of ours, when it wasn't even a necessary exchange. They decided to give us things that really didn't change much and called it a day.

to answer the question literally the entire cs community was screeching for csgo to be ported to source 2 for years, without thinking about the implications of it other than 'skins will be shinier'. then the day comes and the entire cs community screeches at valve to change it back. we're gamers, what do you expect?

Lowered the graphics n tried everything but nothing seemed to work. I legit don't understand why cs2 needed to be released when majority of the game is just a graphics overhaul of csgo.

The money they make off of skins would, as was proven from the cs2 skins bubble, would rise and the money valve would make from steams 12% take off steam market sales would go up, along with A LOT of press from announcing and releasing cs2.

They haven't made a half life game because they don't have a good enough story for it, they don't want to just push a lacking story in a very story-based franchise. Both games were also ground-breaking in their own right, and they made Alyx because VR was pretty ground-breaking at the time. We, as PC gamers, are incredibly spoiled, entitled and difficult, if not impossible to satisfy. They want to make a game worth making to conclude the Half-Life series, and an pretty on-par game for today wouldn't satisfy us due to the other 2 games having changed the game in the way they did. Dota 2 was immediately ported onto Source 2. But it took almost a decade to make CS-2? Nah, this was a new development, and if they had taken that long to do it, it wouldn't have been as bad as it is. They realised that the spaghetti code that was in GO wasn't stable anymore for the things they wanted to do in future updates. This was a spur of the moment decision and they made the mistake of giving us a release date too early, giving us the mess we have today, instead of delaying the game to potentially upset the player base.

If people find a way to get a leg up on the competition, they will. Increasing the odds of a win is something everyone wants to do, some do it honourably, some don't. Cheating in sports has been a thing for decades. The anger towards valve's anticheat was mostly brought by the fact that they forgot to turn on trust factor for a couple of weeks. Flooding the game with cheaters without anyone getting banned. And as for them being able to fix the problems, Valve seem to be updating the game, but not really for the things we want. Changing maps for the worse (Vertigo being a blatant example) and giving us more 'nice to have' features like the utility crosshair. It's been a year and most of the issues the community has been asking about fixes for have seemed to just be overlooked by valve.

1st reason 20 year old game engine 2nd super poorly optimized 3rd one way smokes.

Valve most certainly made source (the engine csgo was using). Don't know where you got that information. I never said source 2 was a bad thing. I said their usage of the port wasn't optimal to the type of game they were making. A tactical shooter doesn't require good looking, bright and pretty graphics. The main issue I bring up in the video is that we were pretty much given a better looking, worse product. This isn't COD, this is counter strike, where people play competitively, even on a professional level. The game running smoothly was the thing we wanted most. The graphics aren't a bad thing, it's a 'nice to have', not a necessity.

Bro the people playing this game are so stupid first they ask for a new game and then they they complain and say that they liked the old one

@CodyCapone

12 күн бұрын

while yes, on the surface it seems to look like that, the old game was old and we wanted something better, we didn't get something better, we got something the merely looked better, but mechanically was a step down from what we had. We liked csgo better because it was somewhat stable, we asked for something better, something that would fix the old problems, cs2 really didn't do much, if any of that, collectively adding arguably worse problems along with it.

CS:GO was great, but it was long past its prime. It was painfully in need of an upgrade graphically way back in 2019 never mind 2023. The gameplay got rather stale even after 3,000 hours for me. The only reason I continued playing was the simplicity of the game, which is a privilege nowadays because every shooter has so much plastered on the screen you have to overdose on Adderall just to read it all. I think Valve could have done a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better job at porting the game over, and did more to protect the unofficial game modes. The game simply wasn't ready in any way, shape or form, but Valve couldn't not release it because they wouldn't be able to make future content for CS2 while the game is still GO. There are still so many things broken in the game, and the cheating epidemic is only getting worse. What's it been, like, 1,000+ days since the last operation? Also, a lot of skins are still broken, and they seem to randomly change them several months down the line, which makes buying high-tier skins a gamble, and is slowly choking the market. It also doesn't help that they release an update every few weeks that has maybe 5 lines of fixes/changes that end up breaking 8 more things. And don't even get me started on that whole subtick bullshit. It was a fancy way of not giving players 128tick servers, and removing FACEIT's ability to run their servers at 128tick was all to get players to stop asking about it. It really feels like we're going backwards, not forwards.

I'm aware of that, what's your point? I'm aware that csgo was a mess in the coding department and needed to be updated to source 2 as a quality of life improvement for the Valve devs, the problems with the game on the consumer side is the fact that they leaned more heavily on the graphics department, which for a tactical shooter is a side quest compared to what we really want from cs, we played a drab, dead looking game for years, our problem wasn't the graphics. We didn't really want those. Would they be nice? Sure, but we just want to play the game we had been for over a decade now without as many issues. Which source 2 could've most certainly fixed and should've, but really didn't, as well as subtick being an absolute dogshit system to lean on, which brings more problems to the game such as peekers advantage being a significantly larger issue than in csgo.
