I'm been playing counter strike over 18 years now.
back in the day I used to play 1.6 and then transition to CS:GO and the current version cs 2.
after CS:GO valve removed overwatch-demo of suspicious/reported players ,where we would watch demos and make a decision about those players .
when the over watch removed in CS 2 cheaters starting to pop more often which became a clear issue once they controlled all the top rankings of premier without hiding their cheats.
Nothing seem to change when it comes to anti cheat improvements/game mechanics to counter those cheaters.
but one thing became clear for me, is that cs 2 going towards the way of a cash grab game where the majority of the content is skins and we left behind the whole purpose of counter strike.
I'm sure many players feel more or less the same .
I do hope for a change and want to believe the team is working behind the curtains to improve the anti cheat and game mechanics even better ! .
