D4 isn't very good either though.
Yeah I am super disappointed…
And of course Path of Exile is great, it's just... a lot. Steep learning curve.

It also uses the same directory structure, the exe lives in steamapps\common\counter strike global offensive\ That's because in previous CS games there's always a chunk of the community that wants to stay behind for whatever reason. Valve doesn't want anyone on CS:GO anymore, so they just updated all copies to CS2. For what it's worth Dota 2 lives in \Dota 2 beta\ because they didn't want people to redownload the gam…
Cool, Steam uses some of the same version control methodologies as me! "SeniorThesisPresentation_Rev3_7.23.09_finalfinal_ReallyThisTime.ppt(2)" lives on.
For those wondering why the release date reads 2012: Game ID 730 was Counter Strike: Global Offensive. https://web.archive.org/web/20121001095729/http://store.stea... The developer in me find it weird that they didn't make a new database record for this internally.
It's a little quirky indeed, as the newer version completely shuts out part of the player base: If you try to launch CS:GO on Mac, it automatically deletes itself and updates to CS2. Then it tells you that it can't run, because cs2.exe can't be found.

I think it's seen as more of an upgrade than a new game. Incidentally, this means any self-hosted CS:GO servers will be updated/replaced with CS2. The 'steamcmd' tool used to manage servers uses the same IDs. The configs probably differ, that'll be fun. My client config seems to need updated, it's not executing. Edit: For those with custom client configs, they used to go here, under the 'Counter-Strike Global Offensi…
Many modes and maps are missing, so this is more of a forced downgrade, especially for those who were playing them since 2012
I wish I could get into this game, but I just can't. The difficulty curve isn't so much a curve as a wall (see also Dota 2) and there's weird (to me) things like you can't change ADS to "hold the right mouse button" instead of "click the right mouse button". The most I can do in it is play against some very dumb bots. Hope it's a nice upgrade for the people who enjoy it! Good to see it has a native Linux build as wel…
I had the same experience, until a friend told me you really need a good monitor (144 Hz+) and a good mouse, otherwise you are hopeless in this game.
Wow, didn't really expect this so soon - public testing just widely opened (to those with ranks) not that long ago. Any indication of Linux builds being available? edit: Updated, looks to be the case! ~ $ file -sL '.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/cs2' [...]/cs2: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dy…
Now can we get Team Fortress 2.5? (I only say 2.5 because of Valve's allergy to the number 3)

CS2 is replacing CS:GO (kinda like how Overwatch 2 replaced Overwatch, but hopefully with a better outcome in this case)
CS2 is missing a bunch of maps compared to CS:GO but at least they didn't mess with gameplay like they did Overwatch 2 (removing a tank).

But no Mac version anymore, apparently. Bummer for the people who were playing Global Offensive on Mac yesterday.

getting better at this game requires fundamental lessons that are hard to communicate (like counter-strafing, how important it is to have good aim AND good movement). AKA level 1 and then there's the teamwork aspect (comms, strats, etc...) aka level 2 and then there's the game sense (counter-stratting, countering opponents bad habits) aka level 3 honestly the wall can be less intimidating if you work on your mechanic…
sometimes it's stuff that's just weird esoteric game mechanics - like for a very long time the distance you stand from a corner while peeking will determine if the enemy can see you before you see them. You will never learn that unless someone just tells you.
