There are enough players to have a ‘competitive unranked’ distinct from casual but Valve doesn’t give a shit.
I think that's what competitive was meant to be when cs2 released. A more casual focused comp mode while premier took the hold as the thing you played for comp. Hell i think there was unranked competitive in csgo in it last year or two, where your rank would only matter to find matches the matches you played didn't affect it.
 
And to think it started when Valve removed OG Dust and Aztec around 2016 due to "low queue times on those maps".
FYI that change was made with the end of Operation Hydra (aka the last real operation) on November 13, 2017. That was effectively the beginning of the downfall of CS:GO's casual playerbase and the game itself. Something caused a shift in Valve around that time that changed CS:GO's direction forever.
 
Redditors malding about Premier still being closed.

Read this in Richard Lewis' voice for full effect.
 
Update shortnotes:

They changed the knife sounds. For some reason it sounds like your pulling out a sword when you pull out the default knife.

The skins look decent. I've been wanting Valve to do an all white skin collection in order to (hopefully) drop the value of all other overpriced white skins.

New maps run like shit, and don't look like they would play very well from my short time running around them. What is with community maps and running at half the framerate of the Valve made ones? At least in the case of Alpine it actually looks really fucking good, its such a shame it runs like absolute ass.

They also broke the r8 equip animation.

Edit: Alpine looks kinda kino on second look, didn't know it was a hostage map since I joined into a botless deathmatch, and the framerate stayed above 180 (still off of the usual 200+ from the official maps).

Why the fuck did they remove Agency
Ah yes, meanwhile Train is removed and they bring back Anubis. Couldn't they just remove Mirage or Ancient for 1 fucking season and put Vertigo in, or wait till Cache?

Also, people seem to be complaining about the new knife pullout sounds meanwhile the Classic Knife retains the sounds from OG CS. ez Classic win.

should have been
-ancient +anubis
-inferno +vertigo
-dust II +cache
 
Fuck no. Dust2 got removed in the first season, why would it be removed again?

-Mirage +Vertigo
-Ancient +Cache
-Inferno +Cobblestone (pure hopium)
Say what you want, but it needs time in the oven (like mirage)
Not a fan of the flipping of mid and b doors, and the changing of mid. "Why would it be removed again?"
Like Mirage it's been in the game (being CS) for ages.
 
The false bans have been removed. Dont know why people are acting like this has never happened before after an update. People were getting vaclive banned with 0 damage.

Community maps always get removed in exchange for other community maps, which is good. I don't want to have to learn/queue 30 different maps.

I like the ones that don't sound like im pulling out a pirate sword. Butterfly knife sounds are kino.
 
The community maps fucking suck lol. All style, no substance. Stronghold is decent but the other two are retard levels.

I wish they grabbed more from randoms off the workshop. They keep pulling from Mapcore which are made by the same group of people and are portfolio pieces with extra steps. I'd rather have a map made with passion than one made for a paycheck.

Valve could also use their own Level Designers for once.

Sounds exactly like what the TF2 Emporium does with their maps.

Many of the community maps I've played under CS2 have ran awfully, with Warden and Stronghold being the worst I've touched thus far; dragging my at-best 120+ FPS on some default maps e.g. Office, all the way down to 30. Literally unplayable to the point I'm incapable of judging their gameplay. Thank God they'll be axed within a few months like the rest, if you can't optimize your map similarly to the standards of what Valve has made then your map is automatically garbage and you should GTFO out.
