Counter Strike 2 gameplay discussion thread - no esport dweebs allowed. Discuss gameplay, updates, skins and anything else Counter Strike in this thread. >AnimGraph2 goes live in latest CS2 updatePotentially the biggest performance update since the drop of CS2. Thoughts?
>>2375759>AnimGraph2Feels better, got way more one taps, could be placebo but I don't think so
>>2375841My friend on a pretty mid pc setup is fragging out hard and claims the game runs noticably better for him.
Also on the topic of performance, this guy has been doing extensive testing on performance of CS2 settings (he's Russian and his audience of poorfag kids are all looking to maxx the fps on their i3 laptops). His latest video is on anti-aliasing which I feel is the most performance heavy setting in the game. https://youtu.be/chij6TmkG2I?is=3yEN0AB47n0XMa2w
>>2375841>>2375759I don't know about performance but the movement of the player models is a godsend, it feels really good
drops reset yet?
>>2375759Another update dropped gonna go check if it makes spraying better
>>2375890Man so much stuff dropping in such a short time. What have they been doing behind the scenes? Have they been working on this for 2 years straight or did they reassemble a new team last year and finally began working on CS2?
I have follow recoil on is that a crutch?
>>2375943Used to have it on some time ago but it was too distracting >>2375976Thanks for this
>>2375759CS2 is dead :(
>>2375759I have 125 stars. Should I get this ugly AK or 50 fever cases?
>>2376273I only play for drops
>>2376503Try going for the A1-S fade or items which trade into one.
>>2375943A little bit but I would argue in the long run it's counterproductive especially when you're tapping with pistols for example you just want your crosshair centered
Swinging got nerfed pretty hard. It's more like csgo now. The recoil screen shake is really nice too. More like csgo also>>2375943As long as you're not using 180 binds
>>2376887I just hope the game doesn't become a CT fest like late stage CSGO. Some maps already are... (70% of my kills are on T side)
I only play deathmatch. Imagine if they made arms race not give out shit XP
>>2378068Valve Deathmatch is unbearable. Just play community servers
>>2378075Need XP for my drops. If it weren't for drops I'd never boot up CS.
Post your unpopular opinions about CS2
>>2378068They should add iceworld to arms race or at least some more maps, love the mode>>2378075Yeah community dm is much betterAnyone notice that boom sound the game makes when you die now? Kinda weird
>>2378216>Anyone notice that boom sound the game makes when you die now? Kinda weirdYes
I’m gonna buy a kukri knife. Best animation for cheap knives
wish CTs could have an AK too. luv one taps
>>2378520CTs are supposed to use the auto sniper
>>2378179I don't miss CSGO for one bit. I miss the memories of CSGO but I never liked the game that much.
>>2378398hell yeah brothermake sure to have the switch hand button mapped to your mouse so you can spam it, turns the Kukri into something that can challenge the Karambit for best animations.
>>2378615Post a video of that
>>2378879yea post vid of what you mean please
>>2378879>>2379064https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9KUH3mJ6-IM
>>2379071lol it’s juggling
>>2379081Because you alternate between 2 animations it looks like you're doing magic tricks
>>2379083Yeah I know it’s cool and worth 100 dollars
Just 16-14'd a Ruski 5 stack with at least 1 guy toggling every other round Feels fucking great.
>>2379107Also jesus christ what's wrong with their sadboy emo steam profiles? All of them are in these edgy anime groups with names like "D E P R E S S E D" Do Russians no longer bully each other?
>>2379130the war is hitting their economy hard atmthe regular people that isthe government recently even openly addressed it, which they usually haven't done and that alone tells it's getting bretty serious
>>2379216it's not that much about war this depre??ed dead inside zxc kaneki ken "subculture" started in mid 10s in Dota and in covid gained big popularity spreading on the internet and with that to other games like CSGO, accompanied by russian emo rappers and shit like that. of course the war is another thing that can boost this kind of behavior but it's not the main thing.
>>2379321interesting, didn't know about the culture aspectI have heard from russians that things have been getting pretty bleak over there as well though and that the younger people are completely jaded about their futureboomers gonna boomer
cheaters in every lobby
>>2378179People blaming missing viewmodel_recoil 0 for causing spray control to "feel bad in cs2" are bots. The viewmodel doesn't even move that much and why are you focusing so much on some minor viewmodel movement?
Anime Graph 2? Didn't change shitSpray screen shake change? Very good
just blew my entire budget of 5 bucks on 10 light blue skins for a guarantee profit tradeup to get the worst item and losing all my profit it's so fucking over
is it still worth to get the armory passes at this time? Have nothing to do and was thinking about buying 5 of them and grinding them out over the next week. Originally I wanted to do that and spend all stars on the new case and immediately sell them but it seems like there wont be one and only new collections will drop which makes it more way more gamba.
had a nightmare where I got my weekly drops and cases and terminals were gone and the only things given now were sprays and gray skins
Rush B got called at the start of the round, but I ended up being the only guy to jump out of mirage b apps
>>2381288It's like that on this bitch of an Earth.
dead hand terminal took a dive. Sold one last week for above $4. Sold my dropped one today for under $3.
I uninstalled this piece of shit game, wont go back to it until a new operation comes out. Faceit is full of the biggest babies in all of mankind and Premier gives me teammates that dont know how to throw util, take space or not retardpeek in the post plant.Its not fun being high elo anymore
>>2381288El classico
Why do people underestimate the FAMAS so much? It's been buffed multiple times over the years and is in a really good spot now. I also find it pretty easily to spray with, though definitely not on par with the M4
How weird would it be to switch out my queen jags for cobalt skull handwraps while running a gold themed loadout? Feel like the punchy blue of cobalt wraps goes hard with gold.
>>2381155don't worry, the next drop will give you a $20 skin
>>2381836I had the AWP Green Energy dropped to me right on first drop after release. Sold it for €228 and got myself some King Snake gloves.Horrible investment in hindsight, Valve nuked glove market not long after.
>>2378520kill a T to get one
>>2381676
>>2381676between the mp9, 5-7, deagle and scout there's little reason to buy the famas at its current priceI'd 99/100 of times rather take one of those guns + util than famasother people also buy it rarely, meaning famas is among the guns you get to play the least rounds with in gamesand it's not that the spray is that hard, it's just that when ak/m4/galil all have much more similiar patterns they're easy to swap around, famas has a much different pattern so it always feels jarring to suddenly spray with itit's just in an awkward spot
Anime Graph 2
>>2381676Its incredibly situational. The MP9 is much better most of the time, but you'd pick up a FAMAS if you're forcing and playing a position like mid on Ancient.
>>2383563mp7 seems to be the famas replacement now too. that kill bonus $$$ and more range than mp9
got about 20 armory stars left to grind out what do with them for profitz
>>2383815I got about thirty and gonna wait for the new collections to buy and sell after seven days
>>2383563>>2383798mp7 (mp5sd is basically used only by b1t) and famas both sit in that uncomfortable middle ground of trying to be universal all-purpose weapons (budget m4:s basically) while being both relatively expensive and getting outshined by the more specialized weapons that work much better in specific positionsfor CTs the question is always: "would I rather have the mp9?" and in the rare cases the answer is no, cheaper weapons like the scout, 5-7 or deagle are better optimized for the spots you end up playing, not to mention cheaperthe only use I've ever found for the mp7 was on train CT yard to counter-rush over-aggressive Ts, but even that's basically a set-up play that requires your teammates actually throwing useful utilThey should probably fiddle with the prices and/or kill rewards for both the mp7 and the famasI also only now remembered the ump even exists, what a piece of shit that gun is in its current form
>>2383815Fever Cases
hey there 4chins i dont post or browse much but im here to ask for helpmy older bro gave me this aug torque with some crazy stickers on it, but the aug itself is shit-cheap so no one is buying it, im wondering if there is a place to find people who do care about the stickers worth since the stickers alone cost 1.2kim willing to trade it either for money or for a karambit brightwater + FN polygon gloveshttps://files.catbox.moe/2mv70g.png(UAE 4chennerz need 4chan pass to post pics)
>>2381676A lot of non-full buy guns suffer from the same sort of issue where they're generally great in some niche scenarios but the skill level of using some of the others that are well-rounded balances that out. Others have said it before but the MP9 is as viable as it is because all it takes is one kill with it which is trivial to do if you get up close to a T (which is easy because they need to come to you) so that you can then swap to an AK and likely get 1 or 2 more kills assuming you aren't immediately traded, which in that case wouldn't have mattered if you were even using a M4. I think the only mid-range gun that enables something worthwhile map control wise for CTs is the Negev because that turns you into a map control denial player for the span of its magazine.I agree, FAMAS is fantastic and in fact I tend to use it way more than I was (I've had it equipped this whole time for my loadout since CS2 introduced that) but its use case is being a suboptimal anchor because you don't have 30 bullets in the mag and you can't spray as easily with it compared to either of the M4s, both aspects are important for anchors and even something like the MP9 or even MP7 is better in this regard. As a rotator/retake weapon it depends on the map but most site retakes involve clearing out close angles which SMGs or even shotguns do way better.
>>2384881erm, looks like that link didnt workhttps://litter.catbox.moe/hqujie60ht1ehmar.pngdoes this work sorry im a newfag lol xd
>>2384881Hate to burst your bubble but applied stickers are worth 10% of their value usually
>3 blood splatters>hit according the game 1>two dinks on the head>hehe ackshually 2 ak shots on d hed is 99What the fuck is this game even
>>2384993kinda expected that... thanks tho
>>2385030turn off the predictions my guy
>>2385064It's fucking off, that's why I am even more mad on why the fuck is this game lying
>>2378179subtick is forever shit, I don't know what kind of indian shit valve is eating but this is never EVER acceptable in anywayinstead of making improvements on le animations or le view punch or even VAC, they should spend their fuckass money on bringing back 120
>>2385093that shouldn't be posible without predictions I think(?), unless there's some real funky lag happening on your connection or somethingwhat's your ping?
>>238511140 to 60
>>2378179All it'll take to humble csgo glazers is for them to die from a one-way smoke. A reminder that CS has gotten better from the old days.
is it possible to block a server region so that i dont matchmake into them?im sick of being put in servers full of retarded musty indians that dont listen to ur info or comms
>>2385569Heard of this https://github.com/FN-FAL113/cs2-server-picker haven't tried it though, don't want to lose the chance to learn russian for free
zomg CS posted on xitter

>>2384612The MP7 beats both the MP9 and FAMAS now in most use cases. It's been meta since the big buff.
>>2386424>MP9No. Absolutely not. A single squirt with MP9's high rpm will delete an opponent even at medium range. The only thing going for the MP7 is if you need to do a longer burst or want to shoot while running and neither is advisable to begin with. Or shoot at long range, but both guns are kinda bad for it to begin with.>FAMASIt's close, but basically both compete for similiar situations, comes down to a question of economy management and preference. If the engagement ranges are longer then it's FAMAS, so you get a bit more versatility for your money.At least all three guns are usable, unlike the UMP.
>Dropped weapons with silencers now correctly reflect the silenced state.fukken finally
damn I want an AK slate but they're so expensive
>Valve confirmed Cache coming out next week on their twitterhttps://x.com/CounterStrike/status/2047747713438269704We are so back bros
>>2380493same thing for people not using follow recoil. Why are you focusing on the wrong thing?
anybody else again getting the bugged +w at the start of the round since the animgraph2 update dropped? so fucking annoying
>>2386934AK slate is 8/10 skin, I love mine
Thought about buying some passes and grinding Dm for stars before the new update but jfc its an absolute bot fest. Atleast half of all lobbies are bots, often just straight up spin bots. Glad I checked it out first because I couldnt deal with this shit while grinding hours for stars. Like how fucking difficult can it be to ban these obvious farming bots?
>>2387308I LIKE FOLLOW RECOIL I HATE THE HATERS
>>2383563I made that post after dominating mid on ancient with the FAMAS Guess you're right
>>2387946>I LIKE FOLLOW RECOIL I HATE THE HATERSi always tell people to uncheck this shitty ass feature and will never understand why it was even added in the first place, youll never learn proper recoil control with this>why yes i want to play like im driving on a bumpy road thank you???
Am I supposed to go afk or just abandon a premier match with a ragecheater? I don't want to ruin my stats but I don't want to tank my stats.
>>2388509I just run it down mid
>>2388509Depends how much you wanna try, you can run into his molies or block him
>>2388607>>2388639Had a minor aneurysm typing that. I meant when the enemy team has a ragecheater just wallbanging everyone with awp. Should I just leave to save my stats? Last time I died 19 times with 3 kills because of it and it ruined my stats.
Is counter strafing also affected by connection? I can do it reliably on local with friends and in practice maps but it's wonky when I do it in casual/comp/premier
>>2387177which map do you think is getting axed?
>>2389130I hope it's overpass for maximum basedlord tears.
>>2389130Hopefully inferno.Just started playing again, this is coming from a shitter in 9k elo. I hate every single part of that map, especially banana.
>>2389150I hate inferno but it has the highest winrate and most games played for my 5 stackIt's a pretty neutral map since nobody mains it
>>2388502>youll never learn proper recoil control with thislmao ppl just repeat this uncritically without thinking.I'm 2800 hours in, start in Nov 2024. 90% of my time follow recoil is on, and my aim is better than anyone in my ELOs because of it (I lose games top fragging the whole lobby:^))
why is the hitreg better in deathmatch than the actual game mode that matters
>>2375759can they start fixing the servers or are we going to be like this forever?
need a nice cheap M4A4 skin
>>2389371there are plenty
>>2389403Splurged
they're cutting miragefinally
>>2389592They will never do itLike McDonalds cutting the Big Mac
>>2389662nah it's getting a rework, but will be out for a while with cache taking its place
>>2389592>cutting miragehttps://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/adf82597-c086-4d18-b7ff-4218edf3447c
>>2388707premier doesn't have stats only faceit
>>2388774local with friends? you are having friends come over and LAN with you? cool
>>2389192what elo are you in? low faceitlvl 10 im guessing?
>>2389130mirage!
>>2389447basado
>>2389447imagine this with a Faze holo
>>2388509>statswhat stats? the only stat is the ranking points, and playing against a cheater you are already bound to lose those. so just do what you feel doing.even on Faceit nobody really looks at stats
idk bros thinking of scraping these stickers
>>2390189>>2391668I found a site for tracking stats and got a bit autistic about improving them instead of just using them as suggestions on what to improve I guess.
just made this, r8
>>2392243don't those sites generally only keep your last few games in mind?
>>23925267/10 would look better on a night
>>2392533idk, scope shows last 30 games I think. But I realized now that it doesn't matter because half of my games are determined by griefers and cheaters anyway
>Sold a sticker for 6 bucks>how I feel browsing the steam market for a skin for a gun I suck with in a game I suck at
>>2392764Yeah it's a very odd thing to care about, even though I somewhat understand. However in CS people exclusively care about your rank. How you got there doesn't matter.
>play on stockholm servers>only get uzbeks or ruskis 100% of the time as teammatesenglish comms like 1/50 games, i can't deal with this bs
>>2393372London servers or bust Anything else is thirdie hell
Has anyone here ever played on 1152 x 864? It's such a random resolution but it showed up in my CS2 ingame settings and this shit slaps. Been hitting crazy shots
>>2375759I don't know too much about CS. I have about 500 hours in CS2, but to me it feels like this game is similar to golf in the sense that this game is all about precision and meta gaming. Knowledge is king and cross hair placement, gun recoil knowledge, and map deduction/awareness are the keys to get really good. However I gave it up, it made me really angry whenever I'd play it.
>>2393376fuck me, i get so low ping on stockholm i will never be able to get london kek
>>2375890I just had the game of my life, we are so fucking back spraychadsThe animgraph update feels like how cs2 should have launched
>>2381676i'd rather have an mp9, armor and a grenade or two 9/10 times, >>2382853 is right in that there's a whole line of options I think of before I consider dropping 2k on the famas alone
>>2394109they should remove the aimpunch with kevlar though, wtf is this
>>2392533It depends. Most I've seen aren't 100% accurate, I've had friends who hit LEM in csgo and some of those sites say their max rank was mg2 lol
>>2394149yea i'm not sure if that's intended or not, ive noticed that too. it's annoying when playing against save rounds as its a huge indirect buff to SMGs
super quake viewmodel when
>>2394499dang that's one sexy viewmodelvolvo plx fix
>>2393427I just play 1440x1080 4:3 since I have a 1080p monitor, what would be the difference?
>>2394165it only started tracking mm ranks in like 2019. if u were global in 2017 it wouldnt count. he means aim positioning and utility stats>>2394149apparently its alwas supposed to have been like that. it was just bugged for awhile so it was super minimal and hard to notice
miss me old stattrak point disarray
>>2395532I still have mine :)
>>2394778I also have a 24" 1080p monitor. Most people use lower resolution because of the perceived gain in performance and because they are used to the look and feel of the game at lower resolutions. For example your crosshair can never be the exact same between resolutions because it doesn't scale.
damn this new spray feels fucking amazing.
enemies are still running and one tapping with deagI thought the animgraph update was supposed to fix this?
Last week I bought a 5 year old Zowie 240hz TN monitor.After getting used to the awful TN colors I can safely say this shit is a MASSIVE upgrade compared to any other monitor. Enemies move around so smooth and clear, you can perfectly track their heads regardless of what they are doing. When you go back to IPS after you suddenly see what kind of blurry mess moving enemies are.
