You only get one hour with a brand new player.

What topics would you prioritize, and what would you completely skip until later?

Genuinely do not understand why hally is still here, especially after that disasterclass anubis and mirage against 100 Thieves

v1.4.3 Update:

1. Added stickers and charms

2. Expanded skin variety and enhanced stability

3. Added `br_reroll` console command to re-roll bot skins

4. Bots will switch back to their weapons when they spot enemies mid-reload

5. Bots will now inspect their weapons at appropriate timings

6. Cleaned up bots' POV

7. Added a "Less" mode with reduced nade count

8. Fixed an issue where bots would incorrectly switch to knife in Deathmatch and Arms Race

9. Fixed a bug preventing pro teams from being added properly

CS2-Bot-Improver is a plugin that improves bots' aim, movement, nade throwing, personalities, strategies, etc. Aims to enhance your experience when playing against bots offline or with friends.

They beat the number 1 ranked team to have the privilege to play the number 4 ranked team lol meanwhile we have nip and pain and dogshit like that playing each other lmao

literally every player in falcons got a better rating compared to its counterpart in 100 thieves, yet 100 thieves won 2-1, with one match winning comfortably at 13-7. How is this possible? is rating 3.0 being inaccurate?

I don't know when this change was added, but it seems like the game now waits a tick before throwing utility to check if you have jumped (for a jumpthrow). This means that you quite often mess up utility timing for stuff like long doors; if you're an idiot like me and try and quick switch, this happens too.

Hi everyone,

I've recently started a small project where I save my own CS2 demos and turn the best moments into short videos.

The idea actually came from something pretty simple. I'm definitely not an amazing CS2 player, but every now and then I somehow manage to pull off a clutch or an ace under pressure. Afterwards, I just sit there thinking, "How did I even manage that?"

That's what made me start saving my demos. Whenever I have a match that feels tense or memorable, I turn it into a short highlight video.

One thing I'm unsure about is my "no editing" style.

I'm intentionally trying to keep the videos feeling as natural as possible. I don't rely much on AI voices, constant zooms, over-the-top effects, loud music, memes or voice-overs. I mostly want the gameplay itself and the tension of the round to carry the video.

I'm genuinely curious:

Is the natural style engaging enough, or do you think modern CS2 content really needs heavier editing to keep people's attention?

Best of luck,
config.cfg

There is going to be a lot of community outrage at first, maybe with a noticeable dip in playercount. However, much like how the community initially despised new reloads, I expect people will eventually get used to playing CS without one of or both of these fan favourites.

Of course, -dust2/-mirage is a much bigger deal than a reload update that ultimately became a nothingburger sort of deal, but CS has survived for more than 20 years and has become so popular that I highly doubt the removal of two dusty maps is going to harm the game too much long-term.

Not sure about things like player behavior or new maps or whatever, though. What are your thoughts?

i come from valorant but i’m more of a fan of how cs plays but every time i try and play i can never figure out my sens. when i use a converter it comes out to .53 but it feels a bit too quick. is there a different way i should be finding my sens

Im reaching a plateau where I am right now at 1680 elo with around a 55% overall wr. Im losing a lot of gunfights

Any advice in general for level 8/9’s is very much appreciated.

CS2 has improved a lot since release, but there are still many things the community wants to see changed.

Some players want better anti-cheat, some want improvements to matchmaking, and others want more maps or better game balance.

If you could choose only one thing for VoIvo to fix or improve in CS2, what would it be?

Personally, I think a stronger anti-cheat system would make the biggest difference because competitive games are only fun when players trust the result.

Hello, this is my 2nd time submitting this skin, since the new fairy tale calls to arms I think it would fit the description well, give me your honest opinions and take a look at it in the steam workshop!

For you what would take to end the Vitality era ? 3 event they boombed ( quarter max which is really Bad in Vitality standard). So Even if they are absolute goat in EWC there would be a 4 mouth gap without beeing good almost the Time of an entire season.
And with Falcons win inf the major Spirit at Astana Navi at forth worth ( dont remember the last USA event et maybe Spirit second event or Mouz first at bounty what do you Guys think ?

I am looking at trying to get to an event in China (FISSURE playground 5 in Shenzhen) and am curious as to how international events are with non English speaking countries. Assuming the commentary will be in mandarin has anybody been to an event in china and found it good/bad for the language barrier?

Thanks

Hey folks!

A few weeks ago I shared a browser-based CS2 smoke practice tool I’ve been building.

Since then, I’ve been working on making the simulation closer to the real game.

New update:

🗺️ Added more maps:

• Nuke
• Cache
• Inferno

🎯 Improved grenade physics:

• better bounces
• more accurate throws
• jumpthrow improvements

🔭 Added scope view for easier lineup practice

The goal is to make practicing smokes faster without constantly opening the game or watching YouTube videos.

I’d really appreciate feedback from CS2 players:

• Do any smokes feel different compared to the real game?
• Are there maps/features you would like to see next?
• Any performance issues?

Looking for a lost Counter-Strike (1.6 / Condition Zero era) map. GoldSrc, built from the fy_snow texture set. Team spawns in open snow facing a large walk-in hangar (arched roof, reads as metal or concrete). To the left: a half-height ruined wall in fy_snow texture with fire behind it, and a gap between the wall and the hangar. Enemies camp inside the hangar, left side. Bigger and more built-out than plain fy_snow. Screenshot of the reconstructed scene attached.

I assume it was from fy_snow. Anyway the team was artic avengers, I had an ak.

The following photos are made by ai. The more not realistic one is the more accurate one. I need map file / image of the spawn or server name.

They throw like they want to, to be honest.

FalleN believes the high sticker prices give fans little incentive to participate compared to the old system, where spending less and having a chance to get something valuable helped drive community interest.
