I don't think anyone actually believes people are leaving cs for good, people like myself and all of my friends are just fed up with the horrible state it's in. I'm keeping all my skins for the day they release the operation, fix the subtick issues, fix the ranking system, give me back cache, hopefully add more than one achievement to go for, and fix the stutter issues so my brother can play again, because I still have faith in valve and think they'll fix it eventually, I just couldn't be bothered to subject myself to it while I wait. I played CS:GO up until the day CS2 released and was even playing almost daily before the cs2 beta announced.
ofc people will leave cs for good, like ohne said in the end, it'll be more so the casual player who hasnt played a lot, not the player with thousands of hours
you can forget about cache and old cs go, cs will die in few years because they are monetezing everything in this game and not adressing cheaters so even if they add 100+ operations and new modes nothing will change because there will be cheaters ruining experience and honestly i wish cs die with valve together they are greedy bastards and stop supporting that shitty company they deserve to lose all and all of money they have
8:20 I was just a cs1.6 player, never played csgo until I heard about danger zone, I was fascinated how good this gamemode was. I am one of the very few that joined the game for danger zone and for many months when I started I kept playing danger zone only.. whenever I tell this to anyone they would laugh and yeah its still my most fav mode of CSGO (early 2020 I started)
Yeah, Danger Zone was very fun to play, even though I didn't play it that much. A very fun casual and fast-pased Battle Royale gamemode. It sucks that despite you are able to still play CS:GO, they have disabled the official matchmaking. I hope that there are CS:GO community servers hosting Danger Zone.
They 100% are going to add it back to CS2. Its just that the dangerzone maps are MASSIVE and with CS2's graphics they lag a lot. I heard they are trying to optimize them
@@thor1829 warzone fast as hell, but other hand u right. I think better if mod creators just made it like surf bhop etc. with source2 tools it will be a lot more easier, think on that way
People with low end PCs can't play now. I used to get 80-100 fps in CSGO but now I am hardly getting 40 fps on the lowest setting and the game sometimes crashes in between matches that's why I completely stopped playing. I think there are many people like me who are not playing due to this very reason
Player count went down so much because they forced players who have played cs:go for a decade to all play in silver elo premium matchmaking. The ones that stayed to grind premium games and get to high elo were greeted with cheaters every game.
Have to take in account how many players left because the lack of content with other game modes, community servers, and the simple fact that a decent portion of the total player base can’t even play the game because the game no longer runs well compared to csgo which would run on almost everything.
bad knife for poors. maybe make more money before try to brag be rich.. i have 170000$ inventrore, u are worthles comparing to me your fade is worth none
I was getting frustrated with comp and premier and started playing less but I went back to play hostage casual and I’m reminded why I’ve played the game 15+ years.
aussiejacko here 🤣 when you started searching up the speedrun website i was like “uh oh…” but tbh, it was actually a really fun challenge - and also like you said, for me it was a good way to take a break from competitive while still enjoying CS in another form. It’s been so sad seeing how much is missing from the CS2 release 😢
Here is my breakdown of why it's going backward after CSGO. 30% Pc's can't run it anymore 40% Struggling with the new engine 21% Kept their skills 9% Top G players.
in my opinion its gonna be like with every release of counter strike. When souce came out people was skeptic, when csgo came out tournaments and people was still playing css until csgo was playable
The games stutter issue is so unbelievably annoying and i want it to be fixed asap, i have good internet speeds and my ping in game is fine but during the day if i try to que alone my game stutters but if i play later in the night or with a friend the game runs fine with no stuttering
Too many cheaters. Community servers are not even working properly. Everything is fucked. I stopped playing and went back to source. also the peekers advantage is ridiculous. Don't even get me started with the subtick stuff. Worst game ever.
CSGO feels crisp, accurate, and fast, while CS2 feels super inaccurate, recoil is a mess in all weapons, slow. They should not have left CSGO until CS2 was really finished. I can really tell the difference because when I play on CSGO I pick up an ak and I am super accurate, I can spray in the distance and be 99% accurate, while in CS2, a little spray with the ak feels like shit, can't do more than 3 shots without the recoil going to Mars.
I haven't played since Source. I miss the huge pub player count and the camaraderie of CAL Main, the custom maps and the modded game modes even going as far back as the Warcraft mod in 1.6. And the custom skins you could install for your screen only. CS2 does feel more modern and polished. It also feels so much more commercial.
I mean technically it was avaible in csgo and cs source through community maps but valve decided to start hiding these server in obscure parts of the menu. 90% of these servers are gone in cs2 or just don't work anymore. Surf is broken bhop doesn't feel the same and things like zombie fortress is still being worked on thats why I mostly join TF2 for these kinds of servers that I would look for in cs
@@TheHeroYouDeserve Why everyone thinks tf2 is dead? Apart from a big botting problem on public servers the game is very much alive. I play on community server to avoid bots and to enjoy a more casual setting. And sometimes I join the surf and bhop servers since csgo is gone and cs2 still doesn't have many bhop/surf servers
well my old pc couldnt run the game anymore since the update and it no longer supported my Mac... plus all the cheaters and bad MM... it was just random at some point. also some game modes are gone, some incredible maps like train is gone, and stats for different gun's performance and strength weakness is gone. not even mad about sub tick cause I feel that is just part of the evolution, but the rest is just a shame.
Bro it would have been nice if it was just a graphics update for cs but they changed the entire game man. like we wanna play fundamentally the same game. I dont like new ak model either
So glad i sold my knife immediately after cs2 release. After i didnt see that jump in the market people were talking about during beta it felt like the writing was on the walls.
Completely getting rid of a functioning fun game and forcing us with a broken one until cs2 is better in a year or whatever it may be is not the play at all
If a reaction to a reaction about cs2 player stats is getting 100k views in a couple of days then the game is probably alright, I do wish they released the game with more content though. Also where TF is the operation
The game isn't dying for good. And that's great because i'm actually new to the game and since people are leaving now, prices are dropping and giving me a realistic entry into collecting. Once players come back i might even be able to make profit
if you all be honest a lot of players played to uprank their acc´s..now we got so much different rank´s on each map, elo points in premium...i would say..lets make 1 rank for all maps in matchmaking + the elo points in premium mode.
Just yesterday I played a lobby with a squad of 4 players. We lost. Then I joined another game on a different map after waiting 5 minutes, then got the exact 4 people on my team... How few people are playing??? Plus, the waiting times are insane. 6 minutes fir a Mirage match is insane.
Lel where do you play? I can play every single map and iam not waiting more then 1 minute. Also never meet same player again. 60+ hours on cs2 in a span of 3 weeks.
no one is counting the case drop change and the fact people are no longer afking for cases or bot 5v5 for cases. this will bring down alot of the farmers along with new players trying it and leaving+ the addition of MW3 although its not doing great either
I don’t play much cs but one thing that kinda drove me away is the fact I was playing at a high-er level being global elite. In CS2 I am in silver elite and nearly drop 40+kills every game but it’s like the system gives me no elo. The other game mode is also just weird because same thing. I feel like I have to try really hard to even have a chance at winning. I have to drop 40 plus kills in every game to have a chance at winning vs before I could rely on teammates and it felt like I ranked up at an even rate. People in my lobbies either say I’m cheating or “why am I in this elo”and I just say it’s the games fault. CS2 is hindering better players ability to rank up drastically. I am a high elo Val player but played cs2 when im bored and can’t even enjoy winning in silver elo even though the enemy team is literally AI.
Not to mention the AK spray is now atrocious and there are many visual movement glitches. Via i now aim towards the back of the head vs shooting the front of the head. Overall, ranking system, anti cheat, ak spray, visuals not being accurate is why it drives me away personally. Curious if anyone agrees
The notorious issues of solo quieing and getting trash teammates somehow managed to get worse. Like 4 matches out of 5 I get 4 teammates that don't even talk, like at all, this is in EU. Makes the game not only boring but also significantly harder since it's supposed to be a team game, this was happening in CS:GO as well but it wasn't THIS bad, I didn't know it could get this much worse. So unless you're playing with friends on Discord, CS is just boring and not enjoyable right now.
I played csgo and cs2 and I'll say that the cheaters in csgo were much less obvious. Wallhacks and spinbots yes, but in cs2 its always just instant scout headshots at the beginning of the round. Every single time. There were some obvious cheaters in csgo, but the blatant cheating in cs2 is insane.
Then you should join Asia server and see how many Chinese cheater here, I suffering every day with those c0cksucker from competitive and casual and yet non of them getting ban or anything, and at this point I like other left the game and wait until this pile of shjt getting better then I coming back for it, but now, I rather play battlefield 2042 and mw3 than hack2
I got Half-Life platinum edition when I was a kid. I didn't have the internet yet, so I played the CS training mission about 100 times. Haha, good memories bro
The people that had early access were supposed to be testing the game and reporting issues, I’d like to know which ones actually did this, valve could have delayed the game but everyone would have complained, they were in a lose lose situation
how isnt anyone talking about the model ghost bug? happened to me yesterday on mirage, i was on ct buy round, 15secs in the round, i was standing at default, ghost ct was doing laps around the tri box, then dissappeared into the wall, everyone on the server saw it. this is game breaking, as the T's were shooting the model from a ramp
There's nothing to do, nothing to grind for, no new skins or maps to learn. no new fun things to do. They should have gave us another case or collection and started the beta at the beginning of 2024 and gave us a 2024 summer release. Because that is when the game will be fun and fully released at this rate.
i think it has more to do with lack of content. no overwatch, no other casual modes, no operation, less maps, havent added any new guns yet or the other features they teased. no danger zone
If there was operation for 3months and changing to another every time it will be more played and if they also fix everything that would be also more playable
CS2 elo is super random. I played 2 games more solo than my mates, got 4.000 elo, then my mates played 2 more games with me and got 6k, 9k and 8k. Funny thing about that: i‘m top of the board in ~75% of the games.
A lot of maps and gamemodes are / was implemented , but they artifical removed them ,to set a focus of main game fixing. Dev Team from CS:GO is below 20 people. A lot Gamemodes will be comming in the Unknonw Future , also New Knife too and New Operation Case is in Plan. And Cache map will soon back too.
whoever says that cs is dying based merely on playercount: 1.can't read graphs and analyse data 2.doesn't understand how new releases work 3.will check out every update until a major one hits and we all meet again
I grew up on CS, switched to other games years ago and just came back to try CS2 and wow does it feel janky after play lots of other games. Its kind of shocking. So much of being "good" at the game revolves around mastering the jank.
I used to play the gamemode where you get a kill and gets the next weapon next round as im a casual and pretty bad at the game but with them removing that I just don't even wanna play. The amount of just full on walking 1 taps is crazy to me. Ill be watching a door and the guy would be full movement running and 1 tap me with .5 seconds to react in 1k elo bottom of the barrel which makes me think theres some ping issues but my ping is 20 so not sure. Just really turns me off to it all and what I used to know which was a great game.
there are just better games to play, the servers are bad, sub tick feels bad, run shooting is like valorant now, u still have to play 5 stacks premates as a solo, the anticheat is non existent and u still get russian randos that refuse to speak english. at this point i hope the game dies so every other developer can see what a company should NOT do
The MMR/Elo difference is not there, here I sat at 8k, played against a full stack of 10k+ and winning the match gave me 108, and losing had me lose 304 (aproximately) so no, I dont think it actually matters and I dont think the win/lose streak counts that much either as I have had the same weird point gain/deduction when both on a 5 match winstreak and a 5 match lose streak
I’m a new player who’s been told there’s potentiel for me. I’ve never touched Csgo2 before. With the exception of trying it on friends computer. I’m finally in a good financial position where I can afford a pc and games. I was so excited to learn this amazing game. But if feels stale, I see the hacker destroying me along side the ancient masters of this game. I’m just trying to do a good smoke to help then get yelled at for being “stupid”. Its not encouraging for new players. The only thing keeping me on is the satisfying dopamine of getting kills. If I had the variety of cs1 I think this game would get me going on a grind.. not worth it for now
No one with skin in the game will be very hard to leave for good. I put all my skins up for sale some of them i have had over 10 years and worth fair amount, CS2 big let down for me and play alot less, looking for replacement and there's no way im going back to COD.
rich people does not understand that a huge part of the CSGO playerbase has a low-end pc outside of NA/Europe. Since the release of CS2 they are not able to play. Since a few months in Valorant I meet eastern european players. When before I have never see one
Yeah, I totally agree with most of these points. I would love a new operation, and I think both me and my team play alot less then we used to. I think the cheaters where a bit less prominent after the first big ban wave, but it seems like they are back to the point where you can notice it in like 2 out of 5 games if you know what to look for. I hope they bring the focus more over to add content to the game and removing the actual cheaters in an efficient way
Played csgo for 5 years, cs2 just feels crap to play, I quit went back to league, valo and tft. Riot may take a long time to release games they talk about. But they have long enough betas and release really polished great feeling games. I miss csgo...painfully all that is just gone...
For some reason in CS2 I only play casual hostage mode and I am having a blast 😁👌This game focuses too much on the competitive side while the fun modes are actually the best IMO 👍
the game may be at an all time low but the monthly player count is still currently well above average. The current monthly player count on average as of December 2023 is around 730,000, which is actually quite good considering pre 2023 only 5 months of GO's 10+ years had a monthly player count average above 730,000. There are still many many new players coming into cs2 for the very first time, and it's only natural that they won't stick around for too long, considering the state of the game and how difficult counter strike can be as a game itself.
well for me i have a skin for every gun that i use and i bought all those skins so now and then i play but i defintley play less...i really wish they could just bring back csgo or realse csgo and cs2 as their own game like they did with css and cs...though i play less...also i have this stupid thing happening with me where if i play online like casual or COMP then my game freezes mid game...like ive checked solutions and tried them nothing worked and its so anoying bc i cant really rank up anymore also i have to play on shit graphics and low resolution now bc of my weak pc but funny thing is the fucking game doesnt crash or freeze when i play with bots....also if the game freeze then i should littarly restart my pc i cant open task manerger or anything...like i can alt and tab or ctrl alt and delete and open task maneger but as soon as i do something like press windows key then the screen goes black for cs2 but the windows thing and hotbar and stuff comes up and the crtl alt and delete thing comes up but litterly cant open anything or do anything exept to restart,shutdown or put my pc in sleep mode...so i really hate cs2 for that otherwise i might have still played it but bc of this things being so fucked i barely play now....one of my friends quite cs2 well actually i know 2 people who quite cs2 and 1 who barely plays now....i keep saying for all my vriends that cs2 really isnt in the release state and we all keep agreeing to it bc its true...
i think one of the main issue that wasnt mention in this video is Comunity servers and workshop maps, yes i know they recently added it to CS2 but its basically a bare bones version of it. i can confidently say a good portion of CS player base are mainly people playing Surf/bhop/etc players on the community servers. taking that away removes a lot of players. PS: i miss the adventure maps on the CSGO workshop, killing a dragon with an AK at 3am with friends is a core memory

The notorious issues of solo quieing and getting trash teammates somehow managed to get worse. Like 4 matches out of 5 I get 4 teammates that don't even talk, like at all, this is in EU. Makes the game not only boring but also significantly harder since it's supposed to be a team game, this was happening in CS:GO as well but it wasn't THIS bad, I didn't know it could get this much worse. So unless you're playing with friends on Discord, CS is just boring and not enjoyable right now.
i actually stopped playing CS with the release of GO. Then a few years later got back into it because of roommate.
you also gotta factor in the player numbers lost due to outdated pc's
I played csgo and cs2 and I'll say that the cheaters in csgo were much less obvious. Wallhacks and spinbots yes, but in cs2 its always just instant scout headshots at the beginning of the round. Every single time. There were some obvious cheaters in csgo, but the blatant cheating in cs2 is insane.
in australia ive played about 50 or 60 games and ive only had 2 obvious hackers.
Then you should join Asia server and see how many Chinese cheater here, I suffering every day with those c0cksucker from competitive and casual and yet non of them getting ban or anything, and at this point I like other left the game and wait until this pile of shjt getting better then I coming back for it, but now, I rather play battlefield 2042 and mw3 than hack2
Got rid of skins - uninstalled 6.5k hrs its a joke now cs2. Too many defects happy to move on casket closed
I got Half-Life platinum edition when I was a kid. I didn't have the internet yet, so I played the CS training mission about 100 times. Haha, good memories bro
The people that had early access were supposed to be testing the game and reporting issues, I’d like to know which ones actually did this, valve could have delayed the game but everyone would have complained, they were in a lose lose situation
how isnt anyone talking about the model ghost bug? happened to me yesterday on mirage, i was on ct buy round, 15secs in the round, i was standing at default, ghost ct was doing laps around the tri box, then dissappeared into the wall, everyone on the server saw it. this is game breaking, as the T's were shooting the model from a ramp
There's nothing to do, nothing to grind for, no new skins or maps to learn. no new fun things to do. They should have gave us another case or collection and started the beta at the beginning of 2024 and gave us a 2024 summer release. Because that is when the game will be fun and fully released at this rate.
I quit csgo two years ago and came back for Cs2. I’ve been enjoying it and playing a lot.
Valve would rather waste resources on useless things than just make a simple anti cheat
oh man only 1 million people play at any given time rather than 1.5 million people. how will i ever find a game to play.
The new updates to subtick make it feel much better! I think they are very close now!
I can‘t play with the packet loss I have right now…
Lot of cheaters... that's the big problem
I dont think people realize they didn't "Delete" maps. They completely remade CS on source 2, they just haven't made the maps yet. Be patient
i think it has more to do with lack of content. no overwatch, no other casual modes, no operation, less maps, havent added any new guns yet or the other features they teased. no danger zone
my win or loss streak has never effected my loss or win bonus.
24:07 i cant belive how a chat is so slow at understanding something omg
If there was operation for 3months and changing to another every time it will be more played and if they also fix everything that would be also more playable
Sorry for mistakes youtube black out what i write
They finally added surf and bhop so i have returned but since release I literally haven’t played
CS2 elo is super random. I played 2 games more solo than my mates, got 4.000 elo, then my mates played 2 more games with me and got 6k, 9k and 8k.
Funny thing about that: i‘m top of the board in ~75% of the games.
A lot of maps and gamemodes are / was implemented , but they artifical removed them ,to set a focus of main game fixing. Dev Team from CS:GO is below 20 people.
A lot Gamemodes will be comming in the Unknonw Future , also New Knife too and New Operation Case is in Plan.
And Cache map will soon back too.
There is a major in march (i think) so im pretty sure they are gonna have the game in good state before that and after that an operation
whoever says that cs is dying based merely on playercount:
1.can't read graphs and analyse data
2.doesn't understand how new releases work
3.will check out every update until a major one hits and we all meet again
I grew up on CS, switched to other games years ago and just came back to try CS2 and wow does it feel janky after play lots of other games. Its kind of shocking. So much of being "good" at the game revolves around mastering the jank.
I used to play the gamemode where you get a kill and gets the next weapon next round as im a casual and pretty bad at the game but with them removing that I just don't even wanna play. The amount of just full on walking 1 taps is crazy to me. Ill be watching a door and the guy would be full movement running and 1 tap me with .5 seconds to react in 1k elo bottom of the barrel which makes me think theres some ping issues but my ping is 20 so not sure. Just really turns me off to it all and what I used to know which was a great game.
the comp community just fails to realize a huge majority of players do play the public matches and different game modes
there are just better games to play, the servers are bad, sub tick feels bad, run shooting is like valorant now, u still have to play 5 stacks premates as a solo, the anticheat is non existent and u still get russian randos that refuse to speak english. at this point i hope the game dies so every other developer can see what a company should NOT do
The MMR/Elo difference is not there, here I sat at 8k, played against a full stack of 10k+ and winning the match gave me 108, and losing had me lose 304 (aproximately) so no, I dont think it actually matters and I dont think the win/lose streak counts that much either as I have had the same weird point gain/deduction when both on a 5 match winstreak and a 5 match lose streak
I’m a new player who’s been told there’s potentiel for me. I’ve never touched Csgo2 before. With the exception of trying it on friends computer. I’m finally in a good financial position where I can afford a pc and games. I was so excited to learn this amazing game. But if feels stale, I see the hacker destroying me along side the ancient masters of this game. I’m just trying to do a good smoke to help then get yelled at for being “stupid”. Its not encouraging for new players. The only thing keeping me on is the satisfying dopamine of getting kills. If I had the variety of cs1 I think this game would get me going on a grind.. not worth it for now
People want a new game but complain when they get it…
cant play cs2 my pc wont run it, my friends got the same problem lol thats also y the numbers lower
i know someone with this issue too.
I may be in a minority here, but train was my favorite map. I want that back so bad!
its literally just the map pool for me
No one with skin in the game will be very hard to leave for good. I put all my skins up for sale some of them i have had over 10 years and worth fair amount, CS2 big let down for me and play alot less, looking for replacement and there's no way im going back to COD.
Valve said the game is not yet finish and it was released earlier than should be, So it was not deleted but cs2 is not yet finish.
I Tested few days hours, validated that cheating still killing the experience and I went back on Valorant. End of the story.
could just be because it isn't summer anymore and people are in school now
it will keep dying and valve doesnt give a shit about the community
rich people does not understand that a huge part of the CSGO playerbase has a low-end pc outside of NA/Europe. Since the release of CS2 they are not able to play.
Since a few months in Valorant I meet eastern european players. When before I have never see one
Yeah, I totally agree with most of these points. I would love a new operation, and I think both me and my team play alot less then we used to. I think the cheaters where a bit less prominent after the first big ban wave, but it seems like they are back to the point where you can notice it in like 2 out of 5 games if you know what to look for. I hope they bring the focus more over to add content to the game and removing the actual cheaters in an efficient way
Played csgo for 5 years, cs2 just feels crap to play, I quit went back to league, valo and tft. Riot may take a long time to release games they talk about. But they have long enough betas and release really polished great feeling games. I miss csgo...painfully all that is just gone...
how can the anti cheat be TOO overzealous banning non cheaters, yet not working at all to combat real cheaters?
For some reason in CS2 I only play casual hostage mode and I am having a blast 😁👌This game focuses too much on the competitive side while the fun modes are actually the best IMO 👍
Yooo you here ✌️😂
the game may be at an all time low but the monthly player count is still currently well above average. The current monthly player count on average as of December 2023 is around 730,000, which is actually quite good considering pre 2023 only 5 months of GO's 10+ years had a monthly player count average above 730,000. There are still many many new players coming into cs2 for the very first time, and it's only natural that they won't stick around for too long, considering the state of the game and how difficult counter strike can be as a game itself.
its because the we dont have Dust 2 and cache in the pool!
Imagine danger zone, but you win because your opponents pcs crash
soon as valve , makes new operation. It will go back right up
The elo thing is 100% a winning/losing streak thing.
well for me i have a skin for every gun that i use and i bought all those skins so now and then i play but i defintley play less...i really wish they could just bring back csgo or realse csgo and cs2 as their own game like they did with css and cs...though i play less...also i have this stupid thing happening with me where if i play online like casual or COMP then my game freezes mid game...like ive checked solutions and tried them nothing worked and its so anoying bc i cant really rank up anymore also i have to play on shit graphics and low resolution now bc of my weak pc but funny thing is the fucking game doesnt crash or freeze when i play with bots....also if the game freeze then i should littarly restart my pc i cant open task manerger or anything...like i can alt and tab or ctrl alt and delete and open task maneger but as soon as i do something like press windows key then the screen goes black for cs2 but the windows thing and hotbar and stuff comes up and the crtl alt and delete thing comes up but litterly cant open anything or do anything exept to restart,shutdown or put my pc in sleep mode...so i really hate cs2 for that otherwise i might have still played it but bc of this things being so fucked i barely play now....one of my friends quite cs2 well actually i know 2 people who quite cs2 and 1 who barely plays now....i keep saying for all my vriends that cs2 really isnt in the release state and we all keep agreeing to it bc its true...
i think one of the main issue that wasnt mention in this video is Comunity servers and workshop maps, yes i know they recently added it to CS2 but its basically a bare bones version of it. i can confidently say a good portion of CS player base are mainly people playing Surf/bhop/etc players on the community servers. taking that away removes a lot of players.
PS: i miss the adventure maps on the CSGO workshop, killing a dragon with an AK at 3am with friends is a core memory
This.
