    CS2 is a half-assed sequel meant to be the bare minimum necessary to keep Valve’s cs money printer going.

      Completely half-assed. They only:

      • Moved the game to a new engine
      • Rebuilt the codebase from scratch because the previous codebase was 100% spaghetti.
      • Made sure the game feels as close to the CSGO experience as possible. The resident CS nerd Ropz said the movement is 1 to 1 with CSGO which is not a small feat.
      • Rebuilt the server architecture for better online experience
      • Changed how smokes work which has noticeably altered the meta
      • Redoing all the maps
      • Reworked the audio
      • Made sure all the skins can be transferred over and look somewhat decent.
      • Bunch of minor QoL things that they didn’t need to do but did anyway

      Fucking lazy devs.
