Former CS:GO professional slams ‘unhappy’ CS2, calls core gameplay mechanic ‘at finest terrible’

The upcoming sequel to CS:GO has unquestionably gotten the Counter-Strike neighborhood buzzing with pleasure, however with that come expectations. One former CS:GO professional’s expectations for CS2 will not be being met at present, and he voiced his opinion on the “unhappy” state of CS2 with no hesitation on June 8.

Jacob ‘Pimp’’’ Winneche had a journeyman’s profession in skilled CS:GO between 2012 and 2017, however has made a reputation for himself as a desk analyst at CS:GO occasions and his ongoing collection of ‘intelligent methods’ to make use of within the sport. By the appears of issues, Pimp isn’t all that thrilled to proceed this collection into CS2 as a result of he fully slammed the sport on social media.

Pimp claims that CS2 is making him really feel “unhappy,” and it’s all right down to a single mechanic being “at finest terrible.” Sadly, that mechanic is motion, which is the butter on the bread that’s capturing, so far as Counter-Strike goes.

Pimp doesn’t spare any motion facets of CS2. Operating feels ‘sluggish and clumsy,” he says, and ‘‘’crouching after which shifting makes me really feel like I’m at 130kg once more.” He finishes his preliminary assertion with reward for CS:GO’s motion, which he hails as “the very best of the very best,” and a determined prayer that Valve fixes CS2 motion someway.

Naturally, Pimp’s outburst impressed a dialogue, with seemingly equal quantities of individuals agreeing and disagreeing with the unique publish. Essentially the most constructive argument to be seen is a reminder of how the CS:GO beta had similar issues again in 2012 and the huge enhancements that the sport noticed at launch and within the months to observe.

This tweet doesn’t come at a random time. CS2 received a major update on June 6 and a smaller patch on June 8, and lots of distinguished Counter-Strike figures and present professional gamers expressed opinions on the post-patch state of the sport. Motion is a well-liked subject, and in Pimp’s protection, he’s removed from being the one particular person sad with it, as evidenced by his CS:GO expertise colleague, Mohan “launders” Govindasamy’s own tweet.

Launders requested his viewers how CS2 motion feels after the updates, and the responses largely lie someplace between “better, but still not good” and “super bad,” as professional participant sdy eloquently put it. Pimp couldn’t resist jumping in right here as properly, additional creating his disdain for CS2 motion.

As hilarious as it’s to see Pimp raging, a large portion of the Counter-Strike neighborhood seems to be on board that CS2 motion is at present “at finest terrible,” with the silver lining that it’s slowly getting higher. We will solely hope that Pimp’s prayer can be answered and motion received’t really feel like we’re 130kg when CS2 launches.
