SleepyJoeSyndrome

CS2 has only been out for 3 years.... CSGO which is a completely different game that is far superior to this garbage Valve claims "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET" has been a complete disaster

ts genuinely sad bro 😭

south444

Its been 3 minutes without Counter-Strike 2. I cant go ahead with this any longer. My mental state is in complete and utter pandemonium. I cried myself to sleep 4 times today. I feel paranoid that CS2 may never come back. CS2 has been the only thing that brings me joy in this cruel life for 7 years now and I wont be able to recover mentally or financially if its gone. I've spent over $7,000 on lootboxes this week alone. I even bought $500 worth of Valve stocks because I trust CS2. I told my mom through tears and she yelled at me calling me a "failure" and saying she knew she should have been on birth control. Although, CS2 being down has had it's positive impacts on me. My IQ has increased by 40 and I've been thinking more critically. When I saw the "EU and Frankfurt servers are experiencing high load. Unable to connect." message. I vomited. I even started praying again. I've been a dedicated Christian for 12 years and I began to pray to god in hopes that they can bring CS2 back soon. I had to learn Arabic to pray to Allah. I hope Counter-Strike 2 comes back soon. I don't know how much longer I can take this.

PunchYou_21

Hello Mr. @CounterStrike . I just had the pleasure on playing on UK servers (I live in Netherlands) and out of 22 rounds, probably 2-3 were playable. -50-100-200 drops to all the players. Can we have back the option to report the server for bad quality?Maybe stop the match too?

Carr0Csgo

@eugenio8a8 @CounterStrike Working on It for 2 years when its wasnt even at issue in csgo...

CadeZibkowski

@BizmutVII @CounterStrike This update just adds a flat rate fee as an option, but doesn't replace royalties if they choose to do that. But royalties are paid over time, where this would allow an artist to receive money immediately upon release.

@chappellshow916 @JayinKyiv As of November 23, 2025, no confirmed reports of a Russian counterstrike in response to the Shatura drone strike have surfaced in major news sources or recent updates. The incident is recent, so developments could emerge soon.

@xeozor21 Hey, thanks for reaching out. I‘ve received Said E-Mail and will be in touch. Appreciate it. I genuinely would wish though that everyone could co-Stream the Major and celebrate Counter-Strike with their Community - whatever the Platform is. I get it - it‘s Business, but it‘s not

bondik_cs2

@WarmupServer @CounterStrike I guess the lion’s share of kills was made on warmup servers ??

Rlcky_Hernandez

@CounterStrike @valvesoftware Could you please fix the anti-cheat system and this game? Over the past two days, I've encountered at least three people were using aimbots and wallhacks. They were reported, but they're not banned ye. Your anticheat is broken and not working.

itsBrosik7

@CounterStrike All good, just hoped we could fix the communication issues in this toxic relationship?

eugenio8a8

@Rappsure @CounterStrike no subtick have nothing to do with it, most of the problems have to do with the engine itself...i hope after the major most of this will be solved

rakmis

@HuskyGoalie Then @CounterStrike can just remove the rule so everyone has the opportunity. Either it exist and is enforced or is removed and open for everyone. Allowing certain teams to sneak past it just creates issues.

RealJoxwy

Out of 5 matches played yesterday 3 were canceled cuz of network problems @CounterStrike plz fix

@kaeryyka @CounterStrike They are waiting for us to have hardware to brute force it, until isnt a problem ahah 200 iq move by them

lootspectrum

It's been 1 month since the introduction of the Genesis Terminal to Counterstrike. Since then, 15% of drops synced with Lootspectrum have been the sealed terminal!

YanLee13415

@renyanFPS @CounterStrike Your updates are only getting worse. Wouldn't it be better to just replace it with CSGO and only update the graphics? You've completely ruined this game.

cs2lens

We’re currently experiencing some issues with uploads due to recent Counter-Strike updates. We’re working on a fix. Thank you for your patience. ?
