I was doing my daily doom scrolling of Twitter and when I got past the political nut bags and people trying to sell their OnlyFans to me I saw a tweet from Valve. Valve finally announced Counter-Strike 2. I was pumped, the god father of competitive FPS is getting a new game. That excited was extinguished...slightly when I discovered that it's basically a graphical and quality of life update to Counter Strike Global Offensive. New smoke physics, better character models, better lighting, and 128 tick server's baby! I'm going to be brutally honest here. If your aim sucked in CSGO the 128 tick servers in CS2 are not going to be your saving grace. If you sucked at CS today, you will most likely suck at CS in 6 months. With that said, the people tweeting "New game, New Me" please, politely wake up and flush those dreams down the toilet you will not see Global Elite.
Some people, but not this guy, are beginning to compare the release of Overwatch 2 to Counter Strike 2. I'm going to squash this bug right now. When Overwatch 2 was announced Blizzard made the game seem like this completely new multiplayer experience. Fast forward a couple months and the game is back to struggling to gain and keep new players. CS2 is NOT being advertised as a new game, its being treated as a major update. And that's what it is. The same game with new shiny and better working parts.
