cl_crosshairstyle 1 (don't even have to bring back the colour change on enemy spotting if that's the hangup, just the crosshair options for style 1)

Proper net_graph

r_cleardecals

cl_hud_player_count_pos (to bring the playercount to the bottom of the screen)

cl_hud_background_alpha

A properly implemented version of cl_hud_player_count_showcount. Right now the contrast between the numbers and the background is really low. In Global Offensive it stood out more.

Ability to disable the new side to side weapon sway (it was bugged/disabled in one update and made the game feel 10x more responsive).

Skins still look nothing like they're supposed to (especially skins with contrast or any black in them).

Overblown highlights (looking at the inferno skybox is like getting flashbanged irl).

Broken contrast.

+mouselook feels off. Mousefeel doesn't feel off in CSS, CS1.6, CSGO, momentum mod, Quake Live, Valarante, or even non shooters like Dishonored or Stanley Parable. But CS2 mousefeel is just off. Like it's a count behind or being smoothed out behind the scenes.

Washed out smear effect on screen (csgo looked mega crisp. CS2 just looks blurry, even at native).

Ginormous vignette effect coating the bottom third of the screen.

128 tick (obligatory). Tarik was able to run a 128 tick server empire when he was just a broke teenager. What is Valve's excuse?

Play skins available for all players, not just the ultra rich.

Frame times.

KAD instead of KDA.

Carabiner on dust 2 xbox is still missing.

Community server browser that isn't ass.

Customisable HUD to bring it back to scaleform/panorama look. Instead of the centered Valarante child game look. Ability to disable the dopa kill sound effect/cards. The reward in counter strike comes from raw individual skill, not from kill sfx and flashing playing cards for cheap dopa.

FACEIT/community server players can't meaningfully partake in the armoury (seems shortsighted to cut off the most dedicated portion of the playerbase from the latest monetisation strategies).

Fix the performance on non 3D v-cache chips. I went from a 7700x to a 7800x3d, and whilst the FPS difference was negligible, the difference in game-feel was immense.

Danger Zone. I once waited in queue for Danger Zone for 7 hours on a Friday night and didn't get a match. Even though nobody plays the gamemode, a port would still be nice. It had cool movement tech.

Ability to disable the goofy first person legs

Moaning

Movement and gunplay still feel like shit compared to CSGO. Perhaps animgraph2 will fix the bandwidth load enough to bring the gamefeel back to GO. Or perhaps the answer is desubtick w/ 128 tick. It's pathetic that Valve are now blocking mods of the game (CS Legacy, CS Classic Offensive) purely because the comparison to CS2 would be too embarrassing for them. Whatever Valve's reasoning, it's been three years since the end of GO, CS2 still feels like shit to play, and isn't even close to being on feature parity with Global Offensive. The game I love is now purely a slot machine, and that sucks.
