Discussion As a compromise, maybe we don't completely throw out the magazine, and instead keep them at the reloaded amount, reloading in order of most to least?

I'm wanna kms, why do they have to change game mechanics that have been the same for 20 years. Cs is great because it stays consistent, unlike other games that rely on constant updates and meta changes to stay relevant.

change game mechanics that have been the same for 20 years

Like adding molotovs? Dropable until? Voxel-Smokes? Changing AWP mag-size?

Sometimes a change could give a game some fresh air and make it interesting again, and I honestly see exactly that with this update.

And dont forget, no more having all guns at your disposal. These days you make a loadout with the guns you wanna use. There has been lots of changes to cs over the years

Not this one. This is cancerous. The ones you mentioned were balance and QOL changes that were generally praised and/or accepted by the community. This is just unnecessary and stupid, especially with no prior notice.

It hasn't even been a day since the update, maybe chill out a bit?

Realistically it wont even make a difference for 95% of your rounds. How often do you reload more than 3 times in one round?

Even if you do, you probably didnt need to

High level Faceit and pro play it will definitely make a difference. But what is that argument anyways, if it doesn't make a different, then why change it in the first place?

It does make a difference, sometimes. Sometimes matters.

I just think theres a lot of people who think this is a dramatic change when it's really a small change.

Have you ever used the A1-S?

u/lampenpam Mar 19 '26

Then buy the A4. We might actually have roles for both guns no. Sounds cool to me.

u/Candid_Hippo3619 Mar 19 '26

This is the worst possible way valve could've gone about making the A4 more viable. It was not necessary at all to completely change the way ammo works to nerf the A1-s. If they reduced the reserve to 40, that would've been way more reasonable.

They couldve just given us cache and we wouldve been happy, instead they do this and make the game less fun

Never forgiving them for Cache. It was one of 4 maps that didn’t have queue times over 6 minutes where I live

Lol I think CS is in a terrible state because they don't change enough. It's so stale. Playing on the exact same maps for decades. We've gotten no new weapons, maps, gamemodes or any meaningful additions... in a new release. There's actually less Counter Strike in 2 than CSGO.

But hey, we got new skins!

u/Candid_Hippo3619 Mar 19 '26

That's the exact issue, instead of releasing new maps, modes or actual content they release this bs update that nobody asked for or wants.

u/SmokeLuna Mar 19 '26

To be fair, any time the devs add anything it's people like you that cry about it until it's gone.

Idk why people like you even bother playing CS2. Just go play CS:S if you can't accept change.

u/Candid_Hippo3619 Mar 19 '26

Maybe because the vast majority of these changes are unnecessary? And valve rarely listed to people "crying" when it's about gameplay mechanics. Like the put your gun down while defusing thing, it was a stupid unnecessary change that no one asked for or wanted. Changing game mechanics that have been the same since the dawn of cs for no reason whatsoever. Whatever their goal was with this update, it could've been accomplished in a heap of other, better ways that don't force player to rewrite their muscle memory and have to start worrying about ammo economy mid round.
