We are talking about Counter Strike 2, a complete rewrite of the game’s code for a new game engine. EVERYTHING has fundamentally changed over the last year.
… in cs2 the smoke is physics based particles that can be moved with bullets or grenades. That tech alone is very complex and the calculations need more modern hardware. Not to mention the dynamic shadows and graphics overhaul.
That’s simply moving the goal posts. “There hasn’t been a change for over 2 decades” - “here is a bunch of changes they actually did” - “NO ONE ASKED FOR THEM!” like what kind of argument is that?
Also if you bought CSGO and are expecting to play it, it’s long been gone. It went free to play, even before that they had pretty big gameplay changes like being able to bring in different weapons. Updates to the game have been made. Negev is now a bullet laser! There is a revolver! The M4A1-s exists!
Yeah, the Mac issue is a concern. Surprisingly, Valve dropped that without warning. CS2 being a free upgrade to CSGO was touted for a while. It’s almost impossible to miss if you play CSGO. The issue is that you bought into a game knowing it was a GAAS game and you expected it to never change for the worse. If you played CSGO for any length of time you’ll remember weekends of one-shot kill revolvers and 2 hit-kill deagles. So clearly, it’s not out of scope for Valve to push an update to break things. Maybe you’ll get a Mac version back, or maybe they’ll put back the matchmaking servers. Maybe you’ll find that GAAS games are terrible for the gaming ecosystem and will abandon them. Lots of solutions here, only one path you control.
Overall CS2 is getting good-ish reviews. So it’s unlikely you’ll get CSGO fully back.
oh you mean back in the day when games were way simpler? come on man games these days are so much more complex.
