Counter-Strike 2 fans are responding to the game’s numerous issues and controversies with historically negative reviews.

Valve doesnt release new games very often.

One of Valves most popular games was the competitiveCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Recently,Counter-Strike 2almost completely supplantedCS:GO.

The currentCS 2store page is seemingly just a repurposed version of theCS:GOpage.

Notably, many gamers have noted thatCS2lacks many features that were present inCS:GO.

CS2s issues also persist just below the surface.

Controversially, Valve also decided tocut Mac support forCS2.

The company cited low player numbers, but that is still a point against the game.

Despite supposed improvements, many players claim thatCS2is aparadise for hackers and cheaters.

Moreover, the game is allegedly beset by matchmaking issues and prone to crashing.

Players have reported multiple crashes during matches.

The people who responded agreed thatCS2needs a lot more work.

Ultimately, all ofCounter-Strike 2s issues stem from one problem: Its not as good asCounter-Strike: Global Offensive.

However, Valve decided to make it the only option.

If you dont likeCS2s hit detection, you cant playCS:GOwhile waiting for Valve to fix the servers.

If you thinkCS2has too many hackers, you cant check to see ifCS:GOhas any cheater-free matches.

Well, you technically can, asIGNlearned that csgo_demo-viewer 1.38.7.9 fromCS2s Properties Beta page downloads a legacyCS:GOclient.

However, its hardly worth the effort since this version ofCS:GOlacks matchmaking.

When, how, and if they fix these issues remains to be seen.
