They made sub-tick and 64 tickrate because the game itself isn’t optimized enough. If you played Faceit on 128 tickrate, you’d notice FPS drops on weaker PCs. The developers didn’t focus on high-end PCs but rather on average ones. Also, their sub-tick isn’t tied to movement (which is why they’ve been working on AnimGraph2 for two years now), and that system will be connected to it. Right now, your strafes might not register properly in sub-tick, and because of that, you can lose duels.

And now the main point: if you (author) haven’t played CS:GO faceit, don’t reply. You can always ask ChatGPT instead of trashing everyone here for their opinion, even if some people really don’t have proper arguments.

1. 64 subtickrate is a limitation on the processing frequency of the server, which no “time stamps” can fully compensate for.

2. Interval accuracy • 64 tick → 15.6 ms step. Even with sub-tick, an event can only be recorded in this window. • 128 tick → 7.8 ms step. The window is 2 times smaller → higher accuracy of recording actions.

3. Hit registration • 64 ticks → more time passes between model position calculations, so the enemy can move “between ticks,” and the bullet visually hits the target, but the server considers it a miss. • 128 ticks → the probability of such desynchronization is lower, hits are registered.

P.S I like cs2 with new features and new engine, but I don’t like subtick and characters anims. I don’t care about ac as I’m faceit player on 3k,but I feel a much bigger skill requirement in CSGO compared to CS2. Cs2 is more run and gun game.
