Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed and published by Valve. Released in September 2023, it is the fifth main entry in the Counter-Strike series and serves as a direct replacement for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. Two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, compete in objective-based rounds across modes such as bomb defusal and hostage rescue. Built on the Source 2 engine, the game introduced volumetric smoke physics, revised weapon handling, and a new sub-tick server architecture. It inherited all cosmetic items from its predecessor and features both a map-specific Competitive mode and a numerically ranked Premier mode. Read less

Just looked on my shelf and realized my first experience with Counter-Strike was via the boxed CS 1 Anthology from 2005. This latest version seems about the same, more or less.

Just looked on my shelf and realized my first experience with Counter-Strike was via the boxed CS 1 Anthology from 2005. This latest version seems about the same, more or less. I've never been nuts about this series but I like it ok. Back then, I played it a lot (almost always with bots) as I hadn't really figured out what my taste in FPS games was yet.

Hello I was wondering if anyone here on Grouvee liked playing the game Counter Strike? The reason I ask is because I love watching esports matches of this game and it's economy of selling skins.

From what I've seen, a lot of players are saying that Valve kinda fucked this up in many ways. As a returning, casual CS player who got introduced to the series back in the day with 1.6 but who hasn't played a CS in like ~8 years, I don't have a clue what the problem is, so I'm having good fun with this right now. It's nice to see this game change from decade to decade and these classic maps with a new livery every time. The game looks really good, especially the smoke grenades. But apparently, it performs much worse for many players, which is exactly what a CS should NOT be, unoptimized. It should run well on as many machines as possible. To add insult to injury, this is an update to CSGO, which means the latter is completely gone from the store. That's unacceptable of course. Doesn't bother me too much personally, but I totally understand that this would upset tons of people who are more invested in the series than me.
