The developer in me find it weird that they didn't make a new database record for this internally.
- bravetraveler 3y agoI think it's seen as more of an upgrade than a new game. Incidentally, this means any self-hosted CS:GO servers will be updated/replaced with CS2. The 'steamcmd' tool used to manage servers uses the same IDs. The configs probably differ, that'll be fun. My client config seems to need updated, it's not executing. Edit: For those with custom client configs, they used to go here, under the 'Counter-Strike Global Offensive' dir: csgo/cfg/ They now go here: game/csgo/cfg/
- pomstazlesa 3y agoMany modes and maps are missing, so this is more of a forced downgrade, especially for those who were playing them since 2012
- bravetraveler 3y agoI can see that. The community is strong, maps and mods will return
- blibble 3y agosounds exactly like overwatch 2
- willis936 3y agoNot even remotely close. OW2 introduced a battle pass riddled with dark patterns, removed all passive cosmetics collection while focusing on pushing cosmetics, changed gameplay balanced haphazardly for the worse to justify the "2" in the name, and the playerbase saw these hostile actions for what they are. CS2 does exactly none of these things and instead keeps the gameplay and social contract largely unchanged. Gameplay issues with smokes have finally been addressed, the game renderer has been modernized, and the playerbase reaction is overwhelmingly positive.
- godzillabrennus 3y agoAs long as they leave me CS:Source to play iceworld and office in every few years then I’ll be fine.
- sznio 3y ago>the playerbase reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Looking at reddit, it doesn't look like it, but that's just reddit. I don't like it too. It's just a worse-looking, worse-performing game. The gamemodes and maps I liked are gone too.
- bravetraveler 3y agoDefinitely take Reddit with some salt - that's what they're made of, after all :) I enjoy it, they dealt with my major complaint with GO - the colors being dreadful/dreary. I appreciate how things generally feel brighter. That said, I am having some weird visual things. Dynamic lights and the player contrast/highlight thing mess up smokes pretty good: https://i.imgur.com/90wpKmO.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/90wpKmO.jpeg This is on Fedora with Flatpak Steam, latest stable kernel/Mesa. Performance does need some work; when I manage to get it to actually ignore vsync (hence ~160 FPS), my frame times are all over the place - with a 7950X3D and 6900XT.

- Rebelgecko 3y agoCS2 is replacing CS:GO (kinda like how Overwatch 2 replaced Overwatch, but hopefully with a better outcome in this case)
- GloriousKoji 3y agoCS2 is missing a bunch of maps compared to CS:GO but at least they didn't mess with gameplay like they did Overwatch 2 (removing a tank).
- nonplus 3y agoThey already learned that lesson removing LAWs and riot shields over a decade ago.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoCS2 apparently doesn't work on Macs any more, so for me they're off to a not so great start
- w-m 3y agoIt's a little quirky indeed, as the newer version completely shuts out part of the player base: If you try to launch CS:GO on Mac, it automatically deletes itself and updates to CS2. Then it tells you that it can't run, because cs2.exe can't be found.
- themoonisachees 3y agoI had the same issue on Linux 4 hours ago, and then got a 37 GB update which fixed it. I think the update is just rolling out slower than the library page change that tells it to launch cs2.sh
- inquirerGeneral 3y ago[dead]
- gsich 3y agoBecause it's more of an update than a new game.
- tapoxi 3y agoIt also uses the same directory structure, the exe lives in steamapps\common\counter strike global offensive\ That's because in previous CS games there's always a chunk of the community that wants to stay behind for whatever reason. Valve doesn't want anyone on CS:GO anymore, so they just updated all copies to CS2. For what it's worth Dota 2 lives in \Dota 2 beta\ because they didn't want people to redownload the game after launch, and probably didn't want to break things by messing with paths for cosmetic reasons.
- Arrath 3y agoCool, Steam uses some of the same version control methodologies as me! "SeniorThesisPresentation_Rev3_7.23.09_finalfinal_ReallyThisTime.ppt(2)" lives on.

- baby 3y agoOh wow interesting, so you can’t play cs:go anymore? IMO this is a good idea as the community didn’t want to move to source a while back (it was a bad game tho)
- jamesfinlayson 3y agoAgreed, but it seems like they didn't want to split the community again - people are still playing the original Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike: Source as well and I suppose they didn't want people sticking with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as well.
- pimlottc 3y agoThis is as annoying as the Amazon listings that switch products. How am I supposed to know if the ratings and reviews are related to the new game or the old one?
- npteljes 3y agoBecause it's like how Overwatch 2 is not a new game, just an update to the original Overwatch. They seem to literally copy that model.
