The end of September can rightfully be called the beginning of a new era in the world of CS:GO. The version on the new engine, called Counter-Strike 2, became available for all players. Here's the most important information you need to know about this release.
Skin transfer and drop system
One of the questions players asked during the closed beta was the fate of rarities in their inventory. There is no need to worry about the transfer of skins: all the items that the player owned in CS:GO will automatically appear in CS2, and, in addition, as we have already mentioned, their appearance will be improved.
But the drop system has changed. In the majority opinion, it has become more favorable to the players. The general principle remains the same: play in different modes, earn experience and get items as you level up. But now the player is given four options to choose from, of which he can select two. He can't influence what exactly will fall out, but you can still immediately abandon a useless skin in favor of something more attractive.
New matchmaking and ranking system
We've previously detailed Valve's redesign of matchmaking. The developers aimed to please both those who play purely for fun and those who want to break into the professional scene. With the launch of CS2 came the first official season of competitive matchmaking – a great chance for talented players to prove themselves.
Unjustified expectations
However, the release of Counter-Strike 2 was not without its problems. Many expected that the release of the new version to the general access will be marked by new content, such as a case, or even another operation. However, so far no large-scale innovations of this kind have not waited for the players.
The fans of the Danger Zone mode were also dissatisfied. It can hardly be called extremely popular, but it had its own audience. This mode was unavailable in Counter-Strike 2, and it's unclear if it will return anytime soon. Other disadvantages of the release – are also mentioned, for example, a limited number of available maps.
Since the new CS2 version has replaced the previous one in Steam, anyone can install it – and thus make their own opinion on how successful the release was. And don't forget to replenish your inventory on Lis-Skins.ru, because, whatever you say, many skins on this engine became even brighter.
