I was using an M2 OS device to play on Global Offensive, but CS2 has dropped all support for OSX it seems and I don't think we're going to get that back. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a gaming computer specifically to play CS2, as my work will require this in the future and I can't use my mac to do it anymore. After purchasing this computer I was able to play in the beta, which was awful but it's a beta so it was okay. Why they released the game in this state is beyond me. Valve is a billion dollar company so it feels inexcusable. The game is released and has had a few updates, but mine launches into a black screen since cs2's third public update or so. I can get it to work rarely. In it's current state for me; it's unplayable.

When it does work it it feels like peekers advantage is though the roof. You'll be behind a wall after a quick look on any site and once you've already taken cover behind a wall then the headshot, or awp shot, comes through. There have been multiple cases where the enemy was NOT on my screen in the slightest. Not a single pixel was visible to me or the teammates spectating. Imagine the worst backtrack you've come across in Global Offensive, it's that to a tee.

I'd love to give this game a positive rating but between having to reinstall drivers, verify game files and in some cases reinstalling the game, the way in which it was released has left me very upset. I feel that the developers knew well enough that the game would not succeed if global offensive was up. It would have had vastly less players once released. Basically hiding and removing the old game was their only way of forcing the community into the new, seemingly mostly unfinished, game of cs2.

Update 10/24/2023:
Still unplayable.

Update 02/15/2024:
Playable now, but doesn't feel like 'home' as csgo did :(
