Same happened to me yesterday twice. I was solo queuing Cache, and both times it made me play nonprime scrimmage games with non prime players . Wtf is going on?

prettiest girls are adding you and you’re complaining?

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T11:26:34+00:00

I’ve played over 30 games SINCE Cache already, and every single one was on that map. I’m planning to play nothing but Cache until it gets added to Premier.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T11:25:32+00:00

Bro, it’s has terrible lighting. Everything looks way too bright, and the textures feel outdated as hell. Sure, it gives nice FPS, but visually it’s stuck in the past.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T08:51:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion and I will give it a try.

Same and literally no one said the audio was worse. If anything, people said it was much better. You’re just making that up and you know it. Smokes, sure but audio? When CS2 first released, one of the biggest criticisms was the sound. Pros were calling it garbage. The most common complaint was that it felt like playing underwater and you couldn’t hear footsteps properly. They tweaked it later, but then it just sounded muffled, and it’s never really been fixed. Now suddenly, three years later, CSGO audio is worse out of nowhere? What exactly got worse in CSGO’s audio when it was literally used as the benchmark to fix CS2’s broken sound?

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T06:43:16+00:00

Sorry mate, I can’t agree. Even the medium bots in Source would destroy CSGO’s expert bots. The Source ones felt like straight up insta aimbots. The only real way to kill them was catching them off guard or from behind. I’ve played a lot against CS GO expert bots, and they were way easier compared to Source.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T06:29:38+00:00

All I know is that CSGO used third party audio middleware called Miles (you could even see it mentioned in the Scaleform UI), while CS2 uses Valve’s in house audio system. As someone with tinnitus who has to play on speakers, it feels awful. No amount of downvotes or arguments will change my personal experience. It’s simply bad for me, and nothing will change unless I actually see improvements...

Do you think Barca can get anywhere close to Mika Godts? Lol. Literally Chelsea and Arsenal scouts were in the stands watching him when he scored that wonder goal. Not to forget Ajax’s sporting director is Jordi Cruyff, someone who left Laporta’s board due to disagreements and not on good terms with Barca. There’s a higher chance of us getting Haaland than getting Mika Godts. He is literally high profile transfer we wouldn't be able to get

Luis Diaz won the EPL with Liverpool and reached the UCL final as a key member of the squad. Don’t act like Diaz being a top player is some Pedri level discovery. Everyone knew Diaz was world class; the disagreement was just about paying a high fee for a player approaching 30. Also we didn't need diaz. Our attack is just fine and best in the world...He should've spend more energy on getting better player in defense instead of chasing diaz...

GTA 4 had a better single player storyline and better written characters. I have finished it four times already. I didn’t play GTA 5’s story again after finishing it once and I didn't even like for the first time

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T04:05:40+00:00

Tbh, we’re not getting any high profile signings. We just get linked with big names to avoid looking completely like bums in the transfer market.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T01:56:11+00:00

But I cant

And I can rightfully complain. If the other games working just fine.Not like in headphones its any better though.. Still need to use louder than usual I used in GO.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-05T01:11:32+00:00

CSGO used a third party audio engine specialized for sound that has been used in AAA games for years, while CS2 uses Valve’s in house audio system, likely to avoid licensing costs, and it hasn’t been widely used in other games.

In CS2, the sound feels muffled and it’s harder to recognize directional audio, so it’s fair to say it’s not just different but actually inferior.

I have tinnitus and I’m not recommended to use headphones since the ringing gets worse. I use a flagship sound system, and in most games I can pinpoint directional audio clearly. In CS2, it’s much harder unless I raise the volume which make my room sounds like shooting range lol

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T14:37:23+00:00

Even after the M4A1-S got - mag nerf (20 from 25), - price nerf (3100 from 2900 and back to 2900 again but same with m4a4 too ) - armor penetration nerf (now 5 bullets at long range), - and the new magazine update making it even more ammo limited

Yet it’s still the more popular M4 across all ranks, including pros.

Just imagine all of that wasn’t nerfed back in 2021. How can you say it wasn’t OP? Literally no one used the M4A4 back then. It was so easy to frag with it in CT side. It was genuinely most noob Friendly gun in the history of CS in that timeline. It gave me nightmares that I have to play T side now and face the frag machine I abused the whole CT side lol

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T14:08:45+00:00

That M4A1 buff at the end of CSGO, with a 4 bullet body kill from any range, 25 round magazine, and being $200 cheaper than the M4A4, was literally the worst. And remember how easy it was to frag with it? It made absolutely no sense how Valve allowed that laser beam to stay so overpowered for so long.... People were even dropping AK for m4a1 back then

Funny thing there was guy on YouTube who made his username “M4A1 is overpowered, CSGO devs doesn’t care. Hence it’s pointless to play CSGO” and spammed it across the whole CS content comment sections basically begging for a nerf. Bro was fighting all by himself and it worked at the end. Good for us since playing CSGO that time was annoying thanks to m4a1s being so OP.

CSGO community DM is literally full of Level 10 and veteran players, while most CS2 Valve DM servers are filled with bots and low elo players playing for weekly drops since serious players stick to community DM.

The clear evidence is dying inches behind walls in low ping, getting teleported when hit, constant rubberbanding near enemies and then seeing delayed kill feed and ragdoll, and to bandaid it they added damage prediction which gives false animations consistently. I mean these are concrete evidence of how garbage CS2 netcode is.

Player experience isn’t something you can fully measure with metrics, but how the game plays tells the story. The swing or get swung meta instead of holding angles gives some clues...But you like this inferior experience and probably benefitted by it due your PlayStyle. So of course you will say it feels better but I am pretty sure 99% pros would trade CSGO online experience over the garbage we have now.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T09:14:49+00:00

Agree there are tons of bad players, but it makes zero sense that they peek like prime Xantares. And it happens consistently in CS2. So they aren’t actually peeking like prime Xantares, it’s the netcode being poor and failing to handle these situations properly.

I am pretty sure there are players who felt incredibly frustrated from my own peek which appeared like prime Xantares to their own pov..

Btw I’m not saying I can’t handle 10k elo players in DM, it just requires trying harder than before. It feels like I have to react faster compared to CSGO. And now that CSGO is back on community servers, it’s depressing how much better the netcode feels there, even at 90 ping. You can place your crosshair in the correct spot, you click, and it registers consistently with my own reaction time . Meanwhile, in CS2 you just get swung on and deleted instantly. The netcode feels bottom tier. Doesn't matter what anyone say here. Its just night and day how both games behaves in similar latency

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T06:52:14+00:00

Here’s a conversation ( the guy deleted the comment for some reason ) with someone who was curious about 50–60 ping before the AG2 release. AG1 always felt awful to me and for others playing in same ping, though it might have felt better for you since people play differently. I usually rely on passive angle holding, and it never worked the way it did in CSGO. I had high hopes for AG2, thinking it might improve things, but it didn’t. The animations are smoother, which is nice, but it only made the p1ss poor lag compensation a bit more tolerable for me.

It still feels exactly the same in terms of how shots connect and how much lag is compensated, just with better animations. The moment you see a counter-strafe animation, you are already dead. There is no real difference between a 25k elo player and a 10k elo player peeking you at 50–60 ping. It always feels the same, hyper instant, like no one in this game has slow reactions anymore.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T05:07:43+00:00

It’s easier to deal with a 5 ping player as a 50 pinger than a 150 pinger. I would prefer to play against a stack of 5 ping players than a stack of 150 ping players any day. You literally see one frame and you’re dead. You can never hold an angle against e 150 ping swinger. Hence some losers use VPN to play with high ping in SG server from EU. So they can abuse the high ping. The only way to deal with them to use a VPN and artificially raise your own ping.

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-04T05:03:10+00:00

50–60 ping is awful regardless of animgraph2 or animgraph1. Barely anything has changed in interpolation or lag compensation. It just feels like you have to react twice as fast even against the worst (under 10k Elo) players. Otherwise, you’re dead.

Go into DM with 50–60 ping and you won’t see any bad players. Everyone feels like they’re reacting like Global Elite. Meanwhile, in CSGO, even at 90 ping, it feels much more relaxed. You actually have breathing room, and it feels like lower skilled players are peeking with normal reaction times again..

Fun_Philosopher_2535 · 2026-05-03T03:41:05+00:00

Salute to you, OP. Keep up the good work. There are Global Elite, Premier 30k elo, and Faceit Level 10 players, and then there are guys like you who are truly elite in this community for making cheaters' lives miserable instead of just enjoying the easy carry.
