They probably just decided enough time has past since cs2 release to give the community what they wanted, a standalone version of csgo without having to deal with the constant nagging of people telling them to work on the older version. Matchmaking will probably never exist, and since its so new no community servers exist that run that exact version of the game.

>Community servers only

This is all I've ever wanted. Welcome back, Counter-Strike 1.6.

Its probably supposed to be a legacy version of the game ran to allow csgo community servers to have its own place, much like how css and cs1.6 are still around then. Skins and medals will probably never work, since Valve hasn't implemented anything to allow for games to swap to hold items simultaneously, and they won't implement it for one game, but i wouldn't doubt the fact the weapon skins are still in the game, and community servers could just handle them server side.

Honestly, if you just open the game launcher on CS2 you could already pick CS:GO. I don't really think this is the real reason since CS:GO was still there right after CS2 release. Must be more to this.
 
I addition to this release, the old CS:GO trailer was pretty kino (based and nuclear terrorism pilled Valve). In the end of CS:GO and the release of CS2 the went from this muted colors aesthetic that fits the police/terrorist theme, now it's some type of Fortnite hybrid that isn't appealing. That's my complaint of last half decade of CS is not the skins, I actually like that part, it's the infantilization of the CS aesthetic + cheats that ruined it for me.

I don't play the game so I don't keep up, but they REMOVED CS:GO from steam at some point? the fuck?

CS2 entirely overwrote CSGO in all Steam libraries, yes. The only way to (legitimately) access a version of CSGO, until now, was to go into the Game Versions tab in the game properties and set it to the Legacy option, which had/has no matchmaking, etc.

Each map having its own set of factions was a really neat narrative change too. I really loved that attention to detail. We lost that thanks to operator skins.

Also Valve got too pussywhipped to include any real life inspired Terrorist factions again. Gotta have the generic Fortnite bad guys or else risk getting banned from Spain for including the Separatist faction in CS:GO.

Nobody mishandles their games like Valve. Getting rid of CS:GO felt like the Meat your Match update for TF2. Years worth of features removed to try and reboot an IP in a way nobody asked for.

i tried to use zool's tool to mod csgo after cs2 release and it kept reseting folder after quitting the game so i just gave up
 
I don't really play much CS, and I only really know a little bit about it's history, but isn't this likely going to create a situation like what happened with Condition Zero or Global Offensive on launch and just shatter the player base even more? surely from a financial stand point this isn't the best option.

Still, I'm glad they've made it back into a separate thing, though Source and 1.6 are still the superior options.

Nah, I've seen worse. There are plenty of games out there are outright left to rot by their devs, or just straight up aren't purchasable or playable on modern hardware. At the very least CSGO was still playable, but this is a far better option.

I think they believe its been long enough that its not going to impede on development of cs2. Its not like they are going to overly maintain csgo, just fix it up enough for community servers and walk away until something major comes out that all source games need fixed.

Probably, though from what I've seen lately "development of cs2" seems like an oxymoron.

This got me thinking, this is actually probably very bad news for CSGO, no maintenance means it's being subject to the same sever hacks and other issues that plagued it before hand, though I suppose that's not changing much from how it was originally.

If your talking about botted servers there isnt much Valve can do outside verified serverlists. If anything, its great Valve isnt touching it. A perfect time capsule of the best CS.
 
Had some fun in a community deathmatch server in CS:GO today. Full of people filled with joy playing a game that's actually fun to play and not some miserable endurance test (I.e, CS2), enjoying all the old shit like the movement, old maps, the guns and how much better they feel compared to 2. It sucks though that, unless Valve acknowledges this soon or adds back matchmaking/anything else internet dependent, the hype will definitely die down. Oh well, I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

I do agree with what one guy in that server said that if FaceIt or someone else offers matchmaking in GO because of this incident and the renewed popularity then I will just never return to CS2 ever again. Very :optimistic: but a man can dream...
