Counter-Strike 2 - Release Notes for 10/19/2023 - Steam News

Recently there was a thing where VAC would erroneously flag AMD's antilag+ feature as cheating, and issue a ban.

AMD then quickly disabled the feature by default but now Valve also patched detection for it and is now, at least according to these patch notes, reversing the bans.

People still play this game? I remember it was mostly hackers and some people pretending they were actually having fun while gambling their savings away on those skin sites.

CS GO (now CS 2) has constantly been on the top 5 most played steam games globally for a decade now, so yeah, I think people are still playing this game.

No it hasn’t. Counter strike 2 is a 2023 release, not CS GO

CS2 was released as an update to CSGO, so it's effectively the same game as far as steam charts go.

It's really great, has a lot of depth, unfortunately the skin gambling is the worst part. I don't encounter cheaters in my game anymore, and play only with squads of friends and it's definetly my favorite FPS, would recommend to anyone willing to learn a tactical fps

Yeah it's pretty basic tbh I honestly wish that the old school stuff like doom, unreal or quake 3 got more air time, much more potential mods and additional dynamics to add to the fun

It is a damn shame too, because there are a lot better games than this lazy cosmetic, hacker filled game.
