Counter-Strike 2 Reviews

It's disappointing to see how this game is evolving. The lack of concern for cheaters in the servers is appalling—there are no effective anti-cheat measures in place, nothing at all. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time on this; it’s essentially a playground for cheaters to compete over who has the best hacks. Even some so-called 'pro-players' are resorting to cheating. Honestly, there’s not much more to say—just save yourself the frustration and avoid this mess.

Really bad game full of cheaters and griefers with no real in-game sanctions for unsportsmanlike behaviour that 98% of this community has. If you are not a person with already good fp shooters skills, don't expect to play with players that match your skill or mentality, expect to play with a random dude that uses wall-hack or other 3rd party programs, some griefer who will yell the entire game or type non-stop in chat, two premades that haven't discovered discord yet and will verbally drain you the entire match, some dude that will shot at you, some other dude that will leave, give info to the enemy or do anything in his power to sabotage the game and to ruin the game experience for everyone. Oh and I even haven't got the chance to get to the money part regarding cases and that so called battle-pass, just save yourself the trouble, buy a new game, food or something that makes you happy and don't get into this casino of a game.

since CS 2 the worst game i ever played nothing works, servers are trash and hits dont connect correctly. just bring back old csgo or delete this trash.

Trash game, you either get idiot troll mates or hacker in the enemy team. For giving tips you will receive a griefing timeout and for leaving against hacker you get a competitive timeout.

Broke all the mechanics of shooting, bullet hits do not count at all. The game has become terrible, it would be better not to release updates at all! With each update there are new bugs that the developers are not going to fix at all. I remind you that the game engine is 30 years old! In general, do not advise anyone to go into this shit!

very good game but cheaters almost every game faceit is the only way this game is playable

10/10 game. better than valorant. i love being spinbotted on. love the toxic community + the ability to have free speech. i also love gambling my life savings down the drain on cases for a .03 cent skin. thank you valve never change

Every playing 1 of 5 game is coming cheater. But i love this game i cant disconnect !!

great if you're already a nihilistic asshole. amazing if you aspire to become one. and if not, at most a few hundered hours of this game will make you physically immune to verbal abuse, of which you will face about the same amount of as enemy rounds fired.

Unfortunately, it is truly a great game ruined by cheaters. I had a very long break from CS (and gaming in general), so I was pretty excited to get back and enjoy the gameplay. That happened to be impossible as in at least 20% of your games you'll match up against someone cheating. Back in 2014-2017 you would also occasionally meet someone cheating, but usually on higher ranks such as LE, LEM, SMFC, GE, that's why (I think) they cheated in the first place — to get to higher ranks and stay there. Downloading CS years later (and having 0 skill left) I was surprised to find out that now you have silvers and novas flooded with cheaters, which makes 0 sense to me — What is those guys' goal? Why are they ranked so low using cheats? So, in 2025 cheating is not something you occasionally find among high-ranks competing between each other, but rather an issue you simply cannot avoid. Among other things, this makes the game very unfriendly for newbies who expect to play against someone in their skill bracket. Someone might say "you are just bad and that's why you think others cheat" and while I get this POV, it is simply not the case. I might not be good anymore but I certainly remember the game's physics and stuff like that. It's quite easy to detect a cheater when you played the game for the first time in 2003. (Also, a 0 level, 1 year old, 50 hours in game Steam account having 80% HS% is simply something very, very suspicious). Also someone might say "just don't play on Valve's servers, go to FACEIT". Firstly, I just want to casully play the game for an hour to relax, not to be all 'competitive' and ruin other's desire to win. Secondly, why can't the game be playable "out of the box" with no need to have any kind of 'add-ons'? Well, I guess enough for a 'review'. This game will forever stay in my heart as it has brought an incalculable amount of fun into my life back in the days. And it also might bring it to someone today. But unfortunately not to me.
