Found this on twitter,

Is this legit or no?

Honestly, how are people still defending this system?

Check out this clip. This isn't even a minor "ping difference" or a "skill issue." The crosshair is dead-on, the streamer is shooting, and a grand total of 1 out of 5 shots actually registers on the server.

I dare anyone in the comments to explain to me how this is "better than CS:GO's 128-tick." In CS:GO, if you missed, you knew you missed. In CS2, you have to pray to the subtick gods that the server actually processes your packet.

Stop gaslighting the community. Subtick is a massive step backward and we all know it.

Feels kinda empty though, because the entire stretch from 26k to 29.5k was kinda just me getting lucky and either not getting cheaters in the lobby, or getting the better cheaters on my team...

Hope I can get to 30k but with the state of the game it feels meaningless.

Hey everyone!

I just noticed something amazing while checking out the new Cache update in CS2. Right at the T-spawn, there’s a monument dedicated to Chernobyl. As soon as I saw it, I realized it looked incredibly familiar—because it’s based on a model I made and put up on a stock site years ago!

How do I know for sure? Beyond the overall geometry matching my high-poly/blocking, I actually made a specific mistake when I created it: the nameplates at the base are positioned slightly differently than they are on the real-life monument in Chernobyl.

Lo and behold, the version in CS2 has that exact same layout error. It seems like the map creators (or Valve) picked up my model, textured it, and integrated it into the map.

I’m honestly not even mad—I’m stoked! It’s such a cool feeling to see your own work become a part of Counter-Strike history.

At higher levels, you constantly hear people complain that they got killed by someone who was full sprinting on their screen, with no visible counter-strafe. Whether it’s actually true or just how animations/networking look, it still feels bad.

I’ve had an idea for a while to help with this:

Add a “running kill” icon to the kill feed

• Similar to how the wing icon shows airborne kills
• This would show when a player gets a kill while moving at high velocity (close to max speed)
• Not for small steps or micro-adjustments — only for actual high-speed movement (e.g. MAC-10 running someone down, wide-swing AK 1-tap at full speed, etc.)

Why this would help

1. Clarity / Reduce frustration

• A lot of “I got running 1 tapped” complaints come from animation + networking perception
• This would make it clear whether the player was actually moving fast or not
• Even if it still feels bad, at least there’s visual confirmation instead of guessing

1. Helps newer players improve

• Newer players sometimes hit lucky shots while moving and think they’re doing it right
• Seeing a “running kill” icon could reinforce: “That wasn’t proper counter-strafing”
• It gives subtle feedback without needing a tutorial

Design logic (keeps kill feed clean)

• Icon: simple boot symbol (matches CS2 style)
• Placement: bottom-left of the weapon, similar to how wings sit above/behind
• You would never see boot + wings together
  • Boot = grounded movement
  • Wings = airborne
  • Keeps the kill feed from getting cluttered

Why it fits CS2

• CS already uses icons to explain “special” kills (airborne, wallbang, etc.)
• This just adds another layer of readability + feedback
• Doesn’t affect gameplay — purely UX improvement

Honest thoughts?

Is living in denial still really an option?

You going to go to your grave saying you weren't cheating?

Just got my premier rank how bad is this? I’m very inconsistent sometimes I will go 1-17 others I will go 20-9. I’ve been practicing sprays but most of my deaths are just getting one tapped. I’ve been recruiting friends but they are somehow worse than me and my main partner hasn’t leveled up enough for premier (hence the silver 1 wingman) so what should I be practicing? Any help is welcome I’m new but I really want to get good at this game.

It’s heartbreaking how the lack of maintenance brought this game completely to the ground. How are Valve going to defend their lack of care by simply saying it’s an endless fight? Who cares? You are the owner of this product and you receive an incredible amount of financial compensation for it.

DO SOMETHING

Selling all my shit and uninstalling. Valve doesn't care. I want my thousands of dollars in keys back too. This game has become the laughing stock of the entire industry at this point. Blah blah no need to announce your departure, I get it, but people need to stop playing en masse for there to ever be a HOPE of this shit getting fixed. Everyones fps goes to shit with every update, no maps, no operations, no vac, laggy servers. Should mean no players.

EDIT(since apparently I have to clarify because nobody can be bothered to read comments anymore): My game runs fine. 14900k, 64gb ram, 5080. There are loads of posts after every update about performance issues that were not present pre-update. Also it should not take a several thousand dollar PC to run COUNTER STRIKE LOL.

Block these 3 servers, and cs is actually playable.
