Many modes and maps are missing, so this is more of a forced downgrade, especially for those who were playing them since 2012

I can see that. The community is strong, maps and mods will return

  Not 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.

    As long as they leave me CS:Source to play iceworld and office in every few years then I’ll be fine.

    >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.

      Definitely 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.
