CS2 Still Feels Terrible

[@rishabyamdagni1334]

CS2 Player Wishlist: 1. We need Subtick WITH 128 Tick. 2. Better anti cheat for Matchmaking and Premier. 3. Cl_bob, Clear_Decals reintroduced. 4. Older game modes and community modes like surf reintroduced/ revamped. 5. Fix dying behind walls, rubberbanding, and the insane peekers advantage. 6. Improve Bunny hopping and movement. 7. We should always able to reconnect if network drops. 8. Fix the "XYZ" did not accept the match problem where the accept icon does not even show up. 9. We need Train, Cache, and Cobblestone back. 10. If all or most of these are met, a new operation would be awesome.

I'm not saying that's a good thing but in order to play it, i had to upgrade. I do agree that Valve definitely needs to optimize the game in general. They still have a lot to fix. I remember when CS:GO came out, it was a shit show for years (over 3 years after release) from what i remember. CS2 was a complete shit show when it released as well, and it still has a lot to improve. I run a 4060ti & Ryzen 5600x and play 1440p, get over 250+fps and don't feel any issues with lag or rubber banding anymore, thank God. The game feels smoother than ever.

In Dota, everything got better after they switched to Source 2. In CS, they improved the graphics and ruined everything else.

[@Steelhart69420]

Dota 2 had so many bugs after they switched to Source 2, and it only got better after the devs fixed the game, which took months. This isn't a source 2 issue. Its that, at a bare minimum, there is a massive disconnect between the CS devs and what the community actually wants implemented into the game. Which is a generous interpretation, given that CS2 has been out for some time now and minimal progress toward fixing the game has been made.

the most frustrating thing about cs2 for me is how the character models fucking wobble, lean and deform when they strafe. In csgo the hitboxes was weird but at least they moved linearly.

this is what I've chalked up the bad "feeling" of the game up to as well, Dinks make their head jump, their player model moves way more that it did in GO. The default CT agent's head is also like one pixel tall from behind and it's not obvious what will be a headshot and what will be a chest shot. At first I thought it was first bullet inaccuracy but i'm pretty sure it's just the micro movements of the playermodel making close shots miss.

it's because OW has been on a downward trend and had bad community reception for a couple years. OW at launch through seasons 3-4 might have been the best PvP game of all time (in my opinion), but that was like 1 year of OW's lifecycle. people had already been shitting on OW when OW2 came out whereas CSGO was probably the most refined it ever was when CS2 came out.

[@Steelhart69420]

CS2's gameplay is fundamentally broken because of many reasons, but OW2 did damn near everything else wrong. Predatory monetization of cosmetics through a shit battle pass system, turning the tank role into a rock-paper-scissors battle, incompetent hero balancing that makes Riot devs look smart, Blizzard straight up lied to the playerbase about the scope of the future PvE content (which was the entire justification for OW2), and the ranked pool is infested with ximming. I won't pretend that Valve is perfect, but the issues that are ruining CS2 can actually be addressed, whereas Blizzard has managed to shoot themselves in the foot so bad that most of the issues that I've mentioned are just baked into the game and are unfixable without a major revisioning of Overwatch 2.

[@thuga007]

Not really. The way subtick works is that the server will check what actions the client did on what specific time and then decide what happens next based on that. Your client cannot predict the future, so what happens is that you seem to be still alive on your client before you get the update from the server. In reality the guy really killed you first, it just took a while for your client to get the message. The "what you see is what you get" is poor advertisement. In terms of where you click, sure, but you are still dealing with the delay caused by the server tick rate and network latency. Now it could be my imagination, but for some reason these delays sometimes feel longer than what one would expect based on ping. Also the rubberbanding when getting tagged seems to happen much more when playing deathmatch.

Fix the core of this bloody game first. Its cucktick at the root of this issue. Cucktick cockblocks where you’re trying to hit, cockblocks when you’re trying to bhop, cockblocks your smooth movement. Spray feels trash with ak, only m4 feels ok which idk how its possible, it should be bad everywhere if its really that bad. If you try to bhop you get stuck to the ground after 2nd or 3rd jump with a glue or some shit. Player models are wobbly when moving and not linear like go. Some shit is always glitching and rubberbanding while moving. Doesnt feel crisp at all. All inputs from my keyboard or mouse feels jittery. Mechanics just feel off and nothing like go. You dont kill clean and you dont die clean. Feels random and lucky or unlucky but def not what’s supposed to happen according to go mechanics. Fps has gone to drain. On i712700h 3060 laptop putting out 450 fps in go to 120-160 fps on cs2 avg. what a bloody joke. Pls dont bring out bloody operation in this state of the game with cs2 cucktick.

The biggest issue for me in cs2 is the ranking system/matchmaking. I have some friends that are pretty bad and are stuck below 5k elo. Since I’m above 10k, Valve says I am not allowed to queue with them. Fair, that makes sense from a balancing standpoint. But what isn’t fair is when people are 15k+ queuing with players below 10k, mostly around the 7 to 8k mark from my experience. It’s straight up boosting and makes me being unable to play with my friends very unfair.

Not to mention the elo rewards are broken. I played a game -550 / +100, thankfully won that match. Then my next match was -550 / +15. Lol I'm not even kidding. I have screenshots. The +15 is because it was for my promotion match. But I'm getting -550 each time I queue and I'm not even on a losing streak. I'm just going to end up deranking and then "smurfing" on lower ranks.

Valve needs to get rid of this subtick thing. It sounded cool and creative at the beginning but it just doesn't work. I feel like the only thing subtick does, is creating irregularities.

On my screen I have moved then I get pinged back somewhere else. Subtick on paper sounds good right? Trying to please everyone ends up pleasing no one. 128 tick server, low ping in csgo was perfectly fine. They got the basics wrong with cs2 the game just feels off. I used to play for hours and hours. Now I play cs2 for 30 mins and I’m like nope this sucks. 5.) peakers advantage Is absolutely dogshit. I get double dinked with an m4 before I can even begin to click. Holding angles is dogshit 6.) the smokes are way too big. In csgo if u through a random smoke or didn’t line it up there would be gaps or atleast a way to get through it. Now if u lob a smoke anywhere near a doorway, or an entrance. The whole thing is covered. No chance of getting through. So once you get in a site, plant the bomb. Cover off the entrances to the site with smokes. That’s it rounds pretty much done.

I'm 100% convinced that sub tick is duplicating events in the backend. I frequently get two hits on people when I only shot one bullet. My movement often doubles. I often get hit twice by one bullet. I think this is why you could fly when running into a teammate when the game launched - the vertical movement was multiplying off of each other in the sub tick system. I can't think of any other explanation.

[@ratata3434]

The thing is, subtick is flawed by design, even on paper. There is a reason why no other developers, including RIOT who made a CS competitor from scratch did not use it.

[@kingeling]

Subtick is way overrated, it allows your aim to hit deserved shots at the cost of information that is crucial to making impactful gameplay. Spray transfers is a great example as they don't end up in multi kills as much as in csgo because of the delayed killfeed and kill feedback. It's just a worse experience for good players overall.

Their biggest updates are community made content, and their last operation, three years ago, was mostly community made skins. If you're going by the actual work Valve has done themselves, we've pretty much gotten mostly minor bug fixes with some modifications to sub tick over the course of an entire year.
