I wondered why I had heard no fanfare or announcements (not even the Steam banner changing, its still Shmup sale up there) but on checking the page this seems to be the Overwatch school of sequel? Just update a current game and put a 2 on it?
Well. On one hand, doesn’t seem like it needed fixing (Its not my type of game but its popular enough, certainly more than most other Valve ventures) but also geez. At least artificially pretend its big news.

It was a “ground-up” rebuild on Source 2, so while it carries forward all the CSGO content and aims to “play the same” in terms of movement and gunplay (with the exception of improvements like subtick actions), I’d say it’s way more of an actual “2.” New engine with all kinds of fancy lighting and other improvements, new assets (including weapon and character models, some of which were still originally in the 2013 CSGO launch), remakes and retouches of maps, vastly improved map-making tools, some nifty accessibility features (your walking sounds appearing on the radar) and quality of life features (selling back misbought items, or the picture-in-picture grenade throw practice camera), and some huge balance changes (games are now shorter, players now need to more strategically choose their weapons, smoke grenades are voxel-based and can be cleared out with gunfire and grenades, skyboxes are now open for grenade tosses, etc.)
It looks the same but with some lighting changes on the surface, but it’s actually huge.

This is how the software engineering industry works. It’s actually games that are the outlier here, with their big releases each time a sequel is made.
More visibility would definitely help here though, odd that they don’t put a banner on the store given how big of a release this is for many players.
Can people still kick you from matches for being bad at the game? If not I might consider trying it again.
Ironically I find that silvers screech more about shitty team mates than any ither rank.
Just a few days ago had a 3000 CS rated dude losing his fucking mind at one of our team mates because he was bottom fragging, only for the angry dude to end up hard negative KD while still bitching
There is a kick option, yes.
Just use a name like noob be gentle. I hate it when ppl kick in casual because someone plays badly.
Yes, and that’s the reason why I play it only with 2+ friends, it’s a completely different game this way.
I will spend hours and hours playing against expert bots until I can consistently be at the top of the leader board. Then I be ready to play against humans and rank at the bottom.
I have been playing CS since 1.6 and every time a I take a break I have to start all over again.
Bots seem to be set to “Drunk and Sleepy”. Changing bot_difficulty does not seem to make a difference.
So if I own CSGO can I just run an update and have the new game?
I am playing now. Looks great. Just shot through smoke which was cool.
