CS2 was released on September 27th, but it has already made an impression on the community. Some players liked the game, while others, naturally, were dissatisfied.

A positive review was left on Reddit. All succinct and clear.

But reading the next review, it becomes clear that the new shooter has problems with cheaters.

The developers decided not to stand aside but to fight against dishonest players. Now a permanent ban awaits not just the cheaters themselves, but also the teammates who are with them in the same party. 

Also, Valve warned that in Premier mode, gamers with a high level wouldn't be able to play on the same team with players who have a much lower level. Battling cheating will help the game to improve and also earn more positive reviews from players.

Speaking of which, many users on social network "X" humorously reacted to the release of CS2 and the closure of CS:GO servers.

The issue of CS:GO will be relevant for many.

For some players, this issue is painful.

In general, their sentiments can be understood, as removing a favorite game without saving achievements is always stressful. Some believe that they shouldn't have touched the old because the new is either worse or no different.

Emotional reviews are particularly liked. The sincere reaction of players always evokes positive emotions because someone was able to enjoy and derive pleasure from the game.

Also, let's check out the reaction of the professional CS player Nikola "NiKo" Kovač from the G2 team.

He was pleased with CS2.

We understand how hard it is to let go of something old and familiar, something that once touched the soul. But time moves forward, and we need to be open to new things. This applies to Counter-Strike 2 as well. After some time, players will realize that the game isn't that bad and that developers are trying to improve it. It will become as beloved as CS:GO.

For now, we'll leave a link to a touching video dedicated to saying goodbye to CS:GO.
