People probably have some good, valid criticisms but I think Valve was right to replace CSGO with CS2 entirely, or else the playerbase size wouldn't have been worth investing into, as so many people would've just stuck with GO. There are a few major pieces missing, but Valve has a great track record so I'm sure they'll buff the issues out with time!

Aside from that, the game looks amazing. It's my first time in Source2 and I'm stunned by how pretty everything is, from the liquid in molotovs sloshing realistically, to the slushy snow outside of the offices and a properly projecting projector inside. The shadows are excellent and are very optimized. It is noticeably harder to run than the previous iteration, and sadly that'll block a lot of people out, but I think it is worth it. CS is ready for the next decade.
