Still funny that valve still can’t count past 2 even though this is the 5th installment
- lowleveldata ( @lowleveldata@programming.dev ) 20•9 months ago
I’m glad that they have found the workaround to call everything 2 tho

I’m still waiting for Half Life 2: Episode 2: Part 2
- gnutrino ( @gnutrino@programming.dev ) 8•9 months ago
Half Life 2: Episode 2: Part 2: Subsection b): Paragraph (ii) will be the real shit
- magic_lobster_party ( @magic_lobster_party@kbin.social ) 3•9 months ago
What’s the half life of Half Life sequels?
- JackbyDev ( @JackbyDev@programming.dev ) English1•9 months ago
Between 0 and -1 I guess?
- BlinkerFluid ( @BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one ) English19•9 months ago
They are very aware of the meme and will never release a third game as “3”.
Team Fortress 3 will probably just be called “forever” or have some other tagline to avoid being called 3.

Team Fortress 3 will probably just be called “forever”
It’s a nod to the time it’ll take to release
- gnutrino ( @gnutrino@programming.dev ) 5•9 months ago
7th if you count CS online 1&2 (9th if you also include CS Neo and Nexon: Zombies/Studio but that’s pushing it even for me)
- DosDude👾 ( @DosDude@retrolemmy.com ) 7•9 months ago
And I thought I was pushing it by including Condition Zero
- Fizz ( @Fizz@lemmy.nz ) 57•9 months ago
I played it for an hour and realized I still suck at counter strike
- Anamana ( @Anamana@feddit.de ) 34•9 months ago
Takes time to unsuck
- Lockely ( @Lockely@pawb.social ) English29•9 months ago
It’s really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it’s missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.
- Terminarchs ( @Terminarchs@slrpnk.net ) 17•9 months ago
I have a 1070 and both performance and loading times have improved compared to CS:GO. 🤷
- CalcProgrammer1 ( @CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml ) 3•9 months ago
Intel A770 with stable mesa drivers, can get around 100-130fps mid settings at 4K in CS2, but got 200+ solid and just ran vsync on at 144Hz 4K very high settings in CSGO. Maybe it’s just the Linux build (which notably received zero public beta testing) but my friend said the Windows version was lower frames on his AMD 580 than CSGO too.
- Turtle ( @Turtle@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months ago
How’s the A770 treating you in general?
- CalcProgrammer1 ( @CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml ) 3•9 months ago
Pretty well overall. Performance is pretty solid on most games I play now, VRR is fixed finally, and I don’t get graphical glitches. I bought it a month or so after it came out and it was rough in the beginning, lots of crashes and glitches.
- cybermass ( @cybermass@lemmy.ca ) 1•9 months ago
1070ti here 3600x didn’t notice much of a difference, I’m still hitting 130-140 easy
- Still ( @Still@programming.dev ) 11•9 months ago
well they kinda had to nuke csgo as you can’t transfer inventories between games
the game is so fucked tho, on my 1060 I could play csgo at 1440p low at about 200fps, cs2 I’m lockynto get 100 on FSR performance
and zooming with scopes are fucked get about 300ms of stutter every time
- lazynooblet ( @lazynooblet@lazysoci.al ) English3•9 months ago
They didn’t need to nuke it. Why not both
- Buttermilk ( @Buttermilk@lemmy.ml ) 3•9 months ago
They probably didn’t want to split the players base
- redhilsha ( @redhilsha@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months ago
Nah, it’s mainly to transfer the Steam marketplace, I.E the thing that makes the most money for Valve out of Counter Strike.
- redhilsha ( @redhilsha@lemmy.ml ) 1•9 months ago
Dude I have the same hardware and FSR somehow performs worse for me.
Though, I’m on LInux, I’ve yet to try it out on windows
- Still ( @Still@programming.dev ) 1•9 months ago
I found nuking my csgo configs fixed a bit of the performance
I’m also on arch Linux, this fixed fsr for me
- setVeryLoud(true); ( @isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca ) 12•9 months ago
Released 2012? Huuuh???
- CluelessDude ( @CluelessDude@lemmy.zip ) 5•9 months ago
I would gladly travel back in time to 2012 tbh
- cybermass ( @cybermass@lemmy.ca ) 11•9 months ago
I really wish they had fixed the movement, considering it’s supposed to be a tactical shooter I would love to see some sort of footstep mechanic but it’s still ice rink battle simulator.
- Blxter ( @Blxter@lemmy.zip ) English9•9 months ago
Was really hoping it was not going to carry the 2 since it’s a pvp game/evolving game. Like division 2 and destiny 2 just drop the number.
- all-knight-party ( @all-knight-party@kbin.run ) 9•9 months ago
Division 2 and Destiny 2 are much more sequels though than they are an updated platform, tons of content differences. Counter-Strike is much, much more iterative
- Blxter ( @Blxter@lemmy.zip ) English3•9 months ago
I just don’t like the number is all.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 8•9 months ago
So do you think the game is worth getting back into now, or should I just give up all hope at ever being half decent at this game?
Last time I played was in 2014. Started as a Silver I, and worked my way up to Gold 1. I was never a competent player. I feel like if I try to get back into it now, the game will just be full of the same old players from past CS titles and I’ll still stand zero chance of ever getting gud. Or do you think the sequel will bring in enough new players that I might do alright?
- macisr ( @macisr@unilem.org ) 8•9 months ago
I just play it for fun now. Try harding it made me miserable. But yeah, there are a lot of new players and it is a new ranked system so you might climb higher.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 2•9 months ago
Been playing casual. Doing a lot better than I thought I would. So now I’m wondering if I’m better than I thought, or if casual matchmaking is skill-based as well.
- CluelessDude ( @CluelessDude@lemmy.zip ) 5•9 months ago
Yes and no, if you enjoyed your time why not? If you are thinking about features then no… The game is still very early open beta sort of feel atm it has the core gameplay but some things might feel off, and most game modes are missing, granted you haven’t played in a while so you might not notice any of this, I say give it a shot, the skill difference exists in all games but I’m a believer that it is what makes you passively get better.
- Psythik ( @Psythik@lemm.ee ) 2•9 months ago
You’re right, I didn’t notice that anything was missing until I started reading threads here and on the Steam forums. I’m having fun playing casual.
- CluelessDude ( @CluelessDude@lemmy.zip ) 3•9 months ago
Glad to hear! I’m also enjoying it, don’t let others opinions ruin your fun, I’m eager for the release of workshop things and server content so I can play around with them on my own server.
- SrTobi ( @SrTobi@feddit.de ) 7•9 months ago
Tried to play yesterday but too many other people had the same idea… We’ll, going to tried in a few weeks
- mub ( @mub@lemmy.ml ) 5•9 months ago
I wondered what was going on when Steam said Counter-Striker 2 successfully updated.
- Cycloprolene ( @Cycloprolene@lemm.ee ) 3•9 months ago
85GB
no thanks
- simple ( @simple@lemm.ee ) 10•9 months ago
It’s a 27gb download that’s 35gb after installation. Not sure where you got 85gb from.
- SaintWacko ( @SaintWacko@midwest.social ) English6•9 months ago
Probably just misread the 3 as an 8

It’s 33.61GB on my PC. I dunno where Valve got the 85GB requirement from
- sparkl_motion ( @sparkl_motion@beehaw.org ) 2•9 months ago
Extraction space for archives is my bet.
The space is then cleared post extraction and completed installation.
