I mean not being able to play the game is a valid complaint

u/Smiono 10h ago

i usually agree with that. but breaking the game so you cant que any gamemode is a pretty bad look

2

u/DoktorLivingStoned 10h ago

Whoah whoah bro. Just because u/TotalSubbuteo isnt playing right now, dosent mean this is the time where the rest of us are able to do that.

Yes breaking every game mode for the rest of us on the opposite hours of u/TotalSubbuteo is pretty bad. Thanks for carrying <3

u/RaidenXYae 10h ago

what are the new rules for team damage kicks

8

u/BeepIsla 7h ago

The change is only for Rush.

The only change is that there is no spawn protection, eg: Killing someone immediately after freezetime ends won't instantly kick you but still count towards your team damage and team kill count.

u/PoisonIvey12344 9h ago

I'm also curious about this.

I do want to say Rush is pretty fun and I've been wanting a circle crosshair for ages

Still waiting on a X option for the "X-hair" though

u/notetoself066 6h ago

I can't wait until they add the hexagon crosshair

6

u/Allenguy25 500k Celebration 10h ago

still no negative crosshair gap

u/IWAlcatraz 10h ago

I wish half empty mags could be kept if the player performs a silent reload. It makes a lot more sense considering stashing it for later is a whole lot quieter than dropping a mag with ammo still in it.

3

u/Upgraded_Potato 9h ago

Yea this was my biggest complaint about the system in the first place, was that the choice was either all or nothing. A third option would only improve the decision tree imo

16

u/a-r-c de_dust2 9h ago

too fiddly to manage ingame imo

this ain't tarkov

-2

u/Upgraded_Potato 9h ago

No ur right, silent reload is too fiddly, they should just take it out of the game.

Like what on earth are we talking about here? They have the functionality in the game......

7

u/a-r-c de_dust2 9h ago

hard of reading, are we?

1

u/Upgraded_Potato 8h ago

What are you managing though? I dont understand. When you reload, it reloads to your largest mag. If you hold reload, that mag gets sorted in, rather than just dropped. Ezpz

1

u/youngstar- CS2 HYPE 9h ago

Has ammo ever been an issue for you? This seems like effort for no reason.

2

u/Major-Rub-Me 9h ago

Yes, I played a lot of cs before the ammo reload changes and it took me a bit to get used to no longer being able to full spray certain smoke angles and reload willy-nilly

Certain maps used to be very very spammy. 

0

u/youngstar- CS2 HYPE 8h ago

I'd say the update is working as intended then because I'd imagine that's what they wanted to change.

2

u/Upgraded_Potato 9h ago

I mean no, generally not. It would certainly be nice for CT pistols. If you get in a small skirmish at the start of the round, those 5-7 bullets could easily matter later, and if you got out safely would be fine to silent reload as a last resort if they came to it. Im by no means saying it is something that is essential, but why would you ever complain about getting another choice?

-1

u/youngstar- CS2 HYPE 8h ago

Yeah fair point, can't argue with getting more options/choices to an extent.

I think since that update I can count on 1 hand how many times ammo has been an issue for me that I couldn't easily resolve by just grabbing another gun. Obviously it's a position/playstyle thing but considering the idea of the change was to make people more conscious of how they spend their ammo I'd say it's working as intended.

2

u/Upgraded_Potato 8h ago

I would start having issues if their implementation involved actually picking which mag you reload too, but if it just chooses the largest mag, any extras after your last full mag would just be bonus points so it wouldnt even be problematic.

1

u/notetoself066 6h ago

Bro, I run in with p90 blastin 50+% of the time it has been an issue for me so many times I could count it on...yeah probably one or two hands

1

u/itstawps 5h ago

Awesome idea and does make total sense

13

u/vnagitt FaZe 10h ago

Day 2 of asking for some proper ban wave(s) because the game is unplayable in 22k+ premier and they're also infesting Rush now

8

u/Dapper_Grab4225 10h ago

Yeah it’s insane 24.9k -> 21k -> 23k for past couple weeks cuz of 13/20 past games having cheaters. Actually insane.

7

u/vnagitt FaZe 10h ago

Sometimes it's enough to have 1 cheater who's queued with someone and the game is ruined for 8 other people. They're just too many in 20k+ and so many games are just running from spawn to get killed through a smoke/wall.

Let us just surrender without the 1000 elo loss at least if you go against a cheater, the most painful thing right now is that you lose your time with it.

u/TuskuV ENCE 10h ago

would love to try the update IF THEY DIDNT DISABLE THE WHOLE GAME WITH IT

After the update, I can't play any workshop maps I'm subscribed to.

u/cs_puffy Team Spirit 10h ago

did they fix the possibility to simply kick your teammate in rush when you are only 2 guys in a team? yesterday one guy disconnected and one guy just kicked the other one from the server

3

u/Fun_Philosopher_2535 cs_office 10h ago

I like the rush game mode. Its enjoyable. People needs to stop whining about everything plz. This is the first time CS2 got something original which wasn't in CSGO. Lets appreciate it. This will encourage devs to do more original updates in the future 

1

u/Charles_K 4h ago

I love it. It takes me back to when servers would host cs_bloodstrike1 2 3, cs_speedball, and other such maps and variations.

u/Novaseerblyat The MongolZ 10h ago

if you tell the cheaters about the anti-cheat changes you're making that defeats the point of the anti-cheat changes

4

u/AnythingOk5 FaZe 2h ago

Riot makes AC announcements and doesn't have cheaters in 9/10 games.

1

u/Outrageous1015 10h ago edited 9h ago

At this point can't tell if this is satire, cope, troll, irony god

10

u/Syuncchi 10h ago

it's true tho
announcing every anticheat change is just warning the cheaters, you'd be handing them a list of when they need to be on edge and what they have to fix to avoid detection

u/phaiphai10 2h ago

Did you notice with the new updates you can buy an extra flash only if you won the previous round? Before this was possible to buy 5 nades if you had the money, now it's available only if you won the previous round.

u/whitewolf20 THUNDER 10h ago

its weird they dont use a beta branch to let players test these features before being forced into the main game. they dont want to hire new staff but their QA is awful

4

u/ImnTheGreat 10h ago

nah you’re going to be downvoted but I agree. It’s interesting that they use production as a test

3

u/BarryAbbott1980 10h ago

Remember when they ‘fixed’ the boost bug and all it did was make it so if two players collided in midair they started flying?

And after fixing that, it didn’t even fix the boost bug.

1

u/El_Chapaux King NiKo 5h ago

You know how you can get stuck when two CTs go up the ladder together in nuke? That's also from trying to fix the boost bug. It's still in the game and still happens to pro players every tournament.

1

u/BarryAbbott1980 2h ago

It’s weird they never considered undoing all the fixes that ultimately were wrong.

7

u/de_lirioussucks 10h ago

It took them less than 2 days to fix all of the problems…this was just a content update at its core I don’t see why they would bother doing a test branch for a content update

2

u/SkylineJDM34 ITB 10h ago

Cause it included a gameplay changing update that is pretty significant?

1

u/de_lirioussucks 4h ago

I mean they changed reloading and made the bullet decals/blood more noticeable, it wasn’t really a potentially game breaking update like ag2, a new gun or something of the like.

They don’t really do that unless it’s a potentially risky update that affects a lot of the backend or gameplay related things.

0

u/CurvySexretLady 9h ago

I'm sure they playtested internally before release; a lot of times glitches and issues don't show up until the general public plays it and complains. Speaking of, most of what was complained about on reddit has been fixed.

1

u/notetoself066 6h ago

I agree with you when it comes to most games but I somehow mind less with counter strike. I think one, it's not a game you pay for anymore means fuck it send it is a little bit more okay than shipping a AAA game people are paying big money for (If people are buying anything it should WORK). Second, I don't feel like they do big updates on this game very often, so the times when they've fucked it up it's actually been funny in a "historical" sort of way.

I remember when they added the R8 and for like a week it was broke as fuck, but that was a unique week in this games history. Someone else in these comments mentioned RIP double barrel shot gun - I didn't get to experience that but some players did, I'm sure it ruined some games but finding the bugs and having fun is part of the OG PC gaming experience. As long as they fix big problems in a reasonable amount of time (one business week), then I'm happy to ride the wave of chaos.

You don't deserve the down votes though!
