Counter-Strike 2 is objectively not a good sequel
I've got the early access and played the beta for a while. The game did and still does feel awesome.
But it's the lack of features present in CS:GO, that makes CS2 a bad update.
There are a surprising amount of people claiming, that "nobody plays DZ" or how "nobody cares about demolition", but I disagree. DZ makes a great flavor of battle royale with cool features and really fascinating gameplay loop. It is cool that you people [claiming we don't need arcade and more casual modes] don't enjoy fun and are going to play MM for 25 hours a day 8 days a week, but not everyone is like that. Arcade modes are an interesting way to practice or to just chill after very tight competitive game.
An update, removing core features is a bad update. And I am not even talking about lack of communuty/workshop content!

But I can hear people screaming: they are going to add most of removed features, they just need time!
Welp, I'll update my review then, but for now CS2 is objectively worse than CS:GO feature-wise.
