The Counter-Strike 2 beta keeps seeing new additions, with Valve working tirelessly to (we hope) release the game this summer. Speaking of changes, smooya, a veteran CS:GO pro, believes one tweak is needed to make CS2 an almost perfect game.
The player claimed on July 18 the devs need to work on movement and make it 10 to 15 percent closer to what movement feels like in CS:GO. He said this would make CS2 “near perfect.”
The Brit’s opinion made it to Reddit, where players with access to the CS2 beta added their two cents about movement.
The top comment explained the basic movement is exactly the same as it was in CS:GO, and backed it off with some data. They shared a short video released by Valve on June 20 which showcased a comparison in jiggle peeking and counter strafing in CS:GO and CS2. The clip proves these two gameplay aspects remain unchanged.
Some other players also disagreed with smooya. In their eyes, the movement is almost the same, but it feels a bit different due to CS2 being new. “Yes, it feels different, but not enough to seriously affect gameplay,” one player said.
Besides that one small nitpick, smooya thinks CS2 is starting to feel “super nice,” and it’s up to pro players to grind the game and give suggestions on how to polish it before release.
We hope we’re all going to have a chance to test for ourselves once the game finally releases. It was set to be launched this summer, though, with no official updates on this matter so far, players are starting to worry it might be delayed.
