Recent Counter-Strike 2 Steam reviews give the CSGO sequel a ‘mixed’ rating, lower than Half-Life, Dota 2, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and every other Valve game.
That’s exactly my point. In order for CS to feel like CS, it has to feel 20 years old. Fine for the existing players but everyone else will be playing other games. I wanted to get into CS2, but it’s not for me or many new players, it only appeals to the old players. I played CS before source, it is exactly the same game still. No thanks. This was supposed to be a sequel, not a graphical update.
Keeping every other gameplay element, just adding modern map design and gunplay into the mix would be a fuckin sweet game I’d play the eff out of. It would feel like a true sequel to CS, not just the latest version of the exact same game.
