Valve releases Counter-Strike 2

Still funny that valve still can’t count past 2 even though this is the 5th installment

I’m glad that they have found the workaround to call everything 2 tho

I’m still waiting for Half Life 2: Episode 2: Part 2

Half Life 2: Episode 2: Part 2: Subsection b): Paragraph (ii) will be the real shit

They are very aware of the meme and will never release a third game as “3”.

Team Fortress 3 will probably just be called “forever” or have some other tagline to avoid being called 3.

It’s a nod to the time it’ll take to release

7th if you count CS online 1&2 (9th if you also include CS Neo and Nexon: Zombies/Studio but that’s pushing it even for me)

And I thought I was pushing it by including Condition Zero

Maybe Valve should zero-index their series. That’s the big brain solution.

SteamOS 3, btw.

That’s version 3. Not steam Os 3

I played it for an hour and realized I still suck at counter strike

Takes time to unsuck

I used to be what was really good at the time 10 years ago. Going back and playing it now is soul crushing. People got so much better and I got worse… I can’t believe anyone new even keeps trying with how punishing it is now.

It’s really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it’s missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.

I have a 1070 and both performance and loading times have improved compared to CS:GO. 🤷

Intel A770 with stable mesa drivers, can get around 100-130fps mid settings at 4K in CS2, but got 200+ solid and just ran vsync on at 144Hz 4K very high settings in CSGO. Maybe it’s just the Linux build (which notably received zero public beta testing) but my friend said the Windows version was lower frames on his AMD 580 than CSGO too.

How’s the A770 treating you in general?

I for sure drop frames on low settings with my low-end machine.

1070ti here 3600x didn’t notice much of a difference, I’m still hitting 130-140 easy

Same. I’m fine. I’m also not very obsessed about fps. As long as it’s smooth I’m good.

That’s fair, but for an extremely competitive game like CS you’re definitely in the minority

well they kinda had to nuke csgo as you can’t transfer inventories between games

the game is so fucked tho, on my 1060 I could play csgo at 1440p low at about 200fps, cs2 I’m lockynto get 100 on FSR performance

and zooming with scopes are fucked get about 300ms of stutter every time

They didn’t need to nuke it. Why not both

They probably didn’t want to split the players base

Dude I have the same hardware and FSR somehow performs worse for me.

Though, I’m on LInux, I’ve yet to try it out on windows

I found nuking my csgo configs fixed a bit of the performance

I’m also on arch Linux, this fixed fsr for me

Released 2012? Huuuh???

Maybe they just renamed the successor to 1.6? 🤷

I think so, I heard they nuked the CS:GO listing, so they probably reused the same listing.

they probably reused the same listing.

From the first announcement of CS2, it has always been clear that CS2 would be an update of CSGO: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/22/23651939/counterstrike-cs2-valve-smoke-grenades-limited-test

It’s the same listing, CS:GO just updated to CS2. Reusing the listing meant the game auto updated.

I would gladly travel back in time to 2012 tbh

If Counter-Strike 2 is so good, why is there no Counter-Strike 2 2?

There will never be a Counter-Strike 3 I can tell you that.

I’m personally waiting for Counter Strike: Alyx
