that follow recoil setting is something ive always been kind of pissy about. the crosshair should be where your gun is aiming not just the center of the screen
so that setting's cool. will also help me with my recoil

Very late to CS in general (only started regularly playing this year lol) but something about the gunplay in CS2 seems so much better. Like when I miss shots it's easier to tell what's happening, where it felt more spray-and-pray for a noob like me on CSGO.

No rubberbanding for me, except sometimes when I bump into a teammate sometimes there’s a little weirdness, nothing that actually affects anything.

I appreciate that CS2 now follows whatever my default audio device is instead of having it's own weird selector.

Played my first couple matches with the new build, seems solid enough but I've noticed that the new smoke/flame effects (when nearby) murder my framerate. It's likely my GPU (4GB 1050 TI) but are there any settings or ini tweaks to specifically lower the quality of those effects further? Particles are already set to lowest. Runs perfectly fine in any other circumstance.

I have also been getting some issues with stuttering at random with my 5700XT, didn't have these hiccups in the beta. Hopefully the next set of drivers will address things.

The skins in CS2 now look more similar to the CSGO versions, at least when it comes to wear. Some older skins have fared pretty well though, skins from old map collections that are lowish float seem to look better. But Valve will may change that.

Also lol at putting Mirage, Vertigo, Ancient and Overpass in the same casual map pool.

Explain to me how Dual Berettas aren't better than the P250 at apparently the same price now. This is the first time I've used them like, at all, and they seem really busted now.

Try dropping down ambient occlusion. I think I read somewhere that that's part of what tanks FPS with flames?

I like to imagine the agents have aged alongside the game and have bad knees/backs too. They're just like us.

Just fired this up.

Got 3 kills and 3 assists as part of the losing team so.. lol. I'm back, baby.

I'm playing on Steam Deck (docked with M&KB, I'm not a total loon). It's definitely not "right". For a start there's no sound, although I know that's a known thing with a fix for now. Gameplay wise it just doesn't feel right either. Feels very sluggish. Tinkering with the graphics does nothing to improve things. I know some people are complaining about the game feel compared to GO but I don't think it's that. The game just isn't ready for playing on anything other than a PC yet, I don't think.

Turns out successfully killing enemies in CS2 feels extremely good.

Everyone on my server was mad about cl_showfps 1 being the most atrocious thing ever.

Played a few matches

-The muzzle flash on some weapons is a bit too much (gsg31 mainly)

-Aug/SG553, when shooting scoped, the bullet tracers seem to come off center of the aim.

-Sometimes I feel like the bullets hitting me are moving me to much

-Gotta relearn how to nade throw cause I'm underthrowing everything compared to csgo

-Deathmatch has too many people.

I'm having some good fun and enjoying it. I look forward to what things they improve and add (Where's my arms race!!!?)

I heard a ton of people also comment that all throws felt much weaker. But people are blaming every misplay on the new game at this point, so who knows.

Nades are exactly the same. Your character throws them the same arc and number of units. Just placebo + some of the maps have slightly different geometry now so some of your lineups feel different.

The option to have your crosshair move with the recoil pattern is probably the best thing they added with this iteration. It's done wonders for my target acquisition, and I don't have to guesstimate where my shots are going now. Seriously, go into bot deathmatch and give it a try.

after 24 years, valve have finally brought us groundbreaking "crosshair pointing where the gun is aiming" technology
