Played a CS:GO game today for the first time since CS2 was released. Few points: -Graphics are so much better in CS2, CS:GO feels like 1.6 at this point -Weapon gunplay on CS:GO 128 tickrate is SO much better than CS2. -Movement is also so much smoother, I lost 10kg in-game 1/?

-Smokes in CS:GO are super bad. Valve did a great job with the CS2 smokes and the ability to reveal smokes with HEs. -Audio is also a lot better in CS2, felt very off in CS:GO even if I tried the 3D audio on/off. My take: PLEASE let us try CS2 with 128 tick. Might be THE fix.

@fribergCS 128tick CS2 could make CS2 have the potential to be even more legendary than GO ever was

@fribergCS pretty on point, i wish the devs could understand this

@fribergCS 128 tick cs2 would fix my depression lowkey

@fribergCS Devs firmly rejected 128-tick implementation At this point, we should probably give up hope 😢

@fribergCS so basically CS2 is shit

@fribergCS idk how is that news when people have been saying the same for the last 2 years, well congrats to you :)

@fribergCS 128 tick was the one thing we wanted fixed from csgo, and they go on and even ruin 128 on faceit, valve know its a problem and have known for 10 years, THEY DO NOT CARE.

@fribergCS CS2's tickrate needs VAR—phantom priorities or legit downgrade?

@fribergCS Source was so much better and fun tbh

@fribergCS Lost 10 lbs got me hard

@fribergCS csgo: better movement and gunplay, accessible to low end pcs cs2: better smokes, open skybox, buy menu(refund), and graphics in general

@fribergCS seems like a very reasonable summary and an even more reasonable suggestion with the tickrate

@fribergCS CSGO audio >>>>> CS2 idk what they did, but no matter my settings, I cant hear people right in front of me no matter what I do. rush me head on I wont hear it.

@fribergCS I agree that CS2 has better graphics, but CSGO ain no way near CS 1.6 leap Simply an overstatement

@fribergCS Who plays CS for the graphics anyways lol. CS2 has miles better graphics but sometimes it looks way too light for me, but thats personal preference. You forgot to mention all the missing content from the game aswell.

@fribergCS 1) If they gave us 128 tick, the WHOLE community will hate it 1 month into it, this is 100% factual. 2) Most "issues" with subtick are not actually related with subtick. We saw that with the Aleksi fix when Valve changed the priority of the kill animation in the animation stack

@fribergCS Gunplay and movement are the absolute MOST important parts of a competive shooter like CS, these factors should have the highest priority/importance on getting correct. 100% the devs did not understand at the time that sub-tick would break movement and affect spraying.

@fribergCS CS2 graphics are too light for me with digital vibrance. Too much graphics for shitty performance. Audio better? I have a good headset and sound sounds like trash. 128tick will never happen with this clown company.

@fribergCS Even in csgo videos u can feel the game is much smoother

@fribergCS Bro the movement!!!!!!! All the 100s of hours in KZ, surf and hns feel so wasted in CS2 when they would reward you in csgo. Thinking of the time I practiced longjumps in csgo until my fingers went numb and next day I felt like phoon with my bhops in comp. Good times long gone

@fribergCS People like you needs to tweet about this everyday and make sure valve sees. Then maybe Gaben will make a fix.

@fribergCS All we need is subtick taken out and AC

@fribergCS graphics are more detailed, but is that even a good thing? I don't remember in csgo ever having a problem of not being bale to spot an enemy immediately because of all the shine and debris("details") all over the place. clearly visible enemy > realistic graphics

@fribergCS CSGO contrast and lighting are also better than CS2

@fribergCS CSGO is much more visually appealing and im not just saying that because of "nostalgia", i only got into CS around 2018. CS2's visuals are just too overwhelming imo

@fribergCS @CounterStrike y’all seeing this?

@fribergCS Looks better? Cap

@fribergCS only in game ? im just kidding, love ya bro 😄💪

@fribergCS Are you trolling?

@fribergCS Raw input needs to be back... I can't get my sens right...

@fribergCS I dont know bro I hate the cs2 graphics i like when the game is ugly

@fribergCS Bro, you talking about CS:GO movement being better than CS2 - when I launched 1.6 after years of playing CS:GO/CS2 I almost got a boner from the feeling of that movement. And yeah, give us 128 tick or AT LEAST unlock it, so Faceit can have it.

@fribergCS wait till you find out it was never about subtick. Some people are about to exprience the most brutal reality check in the next 5 years
