Though this sequel might one day become a legendary classic, Valve´s newest sequel in the multiplayer saga has as many stumbles as good steps forward.
For all its foibles though, I have confidence that Valve is at least pushing the game in the right direction. After all, both CS: Source and CS:GO evolved considerably after their initial launch and became classics in their own right, and all the building blocks are here for Counter-Strike 2 to follow the same trajectory - and from a much better starting position. The bottom line? This is already an incredible game that's well worth playing - after all, it is Counter-Strike, too.
CS2 also proves that despite their reluctance to do so, Valve still has all the chops whenever they choose to put their game developer hat on. Nearly all of the changes in Counter-Strike 2 meaningfully enhance the experience without compromising what made the game special in the first place. With the foundation set for another multi-year run, I’m excited to see how Valve and the community evolve Counter-Strike 2.

Online oyun sevmem ama bu oyun gerçekten çok güzel. CS:GO hiç oynamadığım için, kıyaslama yapamayacağım ama gerçekten Online oyunlara karşı çok büyük bir önyargım vardı, CS2 oynayana kadar böyle düşünüyordum. Gerçekten çok güzel bir oyun, ilk oynadığım valve oyunu oldu ayrıca:)

Only cheat sur ce jeu. Je ne comprends pas comment un jeu aussi joué que celui ci peut être laissé à l'abandon concernant les cheaters. C'est injouable.

Counter-Strike 2 brings many new things to the franchise that both veterans and newcomers alike can enjoy, especially the updated graphics on the Maps and guns. Moreover, numerous systems are straight-up an upgrade from CS: GO, such as the Loadout and Smoke Grenade, which makes Counter-Strike 2 more enjoyable and fair. However, many things are still not in the game, which might deter many players from trying the game just yet, though the ones that are now available are more than enough to enjoy a good Counter-Strike match.

Bu oyunda yüzlerce saat geçirdim. Hile sorununu en aza indirebilselerdi çok daha iyi olurdu, ama hile sorununu bir kenara bırakırsak, bu oyun 10 üzerinden 10.

Much like the great explorers of the past, Valve embarked on a grand venture - the quest to further enhance the world's most popular FPS, driven by the curiosity to unveil what lay beyond the horizon of perfection. They did so, fully aware that the transition to Source 2 might potentially disrupt the balance that the CS:GO gameplay reached over ten years of updates. Yet, after several hours spent in the lobbies of Counter-Strike 2, we can confidently say it was absolutely worth it.

Counter-Strike 2 is a solid package in many ways. It's still the best in its sub-genre and I can see myself playing it for thousands of hours, as I did with its predecessors.

Counter-Strike 2’s wall of noise and violence will feel impenetrable to newcomers but a welcome upgrade for long-term Counter-Strike fans. It’s the best competitive shooter on the market, but it’s so difficult for new players to get on board that it won’t be for everyone.

Counter Strike 2 did not pass the weapon to the left. This is evidenced by the many players still on the title but also the modifications made more in form than in substance. Thanks to the new Source 2 engine, maps that players have known for more than 20 years are getting a makeover without changing one bit the range of possible tactics or the gameplay sensations. Basically, this update called Counter Strike 2 seems to be more about getting up to speed with the competition than attracting a new audience. What's the point of revolutionizing a team that's already winning?

This game comes from a classic that got me into PC gaming. I'm shocked to see the negative scores. Don't listen to that, this is a fun game.

Pas trop mal, des bons graphismes, une optimisation correct, un gameplay simple mais efficace, je comprends pourquoi ce jeu est resté aussi populaire ces dernières années.

When I started playing, I had no idea what was going on in the game. You can hit someone with your entire clip, but in reality, you didn't even hit them. There are a whole bunch of cheaters and developers who don't plan to do anything about it.
