Valve's Counter-Strike 2 Sets New Low as their Worst-Rated Game

In the world of first-person shooters, Counter-Strike has long been a fan favorite. However, Valve's recent release of 'Counter-Strike 2' has left the Counter-Strike community in a state of turmoil. This update, which marks the next generation of Counter-Strike, came after a decade of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) and has stirred up a slew of complaints from players, ranging from casual enthusiasts to elite gamers.

Perhaps the most telling sign of discontent is the game's rating on the Steam platform, where Counter-Strike 2 has earned the dubious distinction of becoming Valve's worst-rated game. This includes all the reviews amassed by CSGO over the years, as Counter-Strike 2 essentially took over CSGO's store page on Steam following its global release.

Currently, Counter-Strike 2 holds a 'Mixed' rating on Steam, with nearly one million negative reviews. Players have voiced concerns about hitbox issues, server performance problems related to the 'sub tick' structure, an overall stripped-down gaming experience, and an alarming increase in cheating incidents.

Notably, professional player Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev publicly criticized Counter-Strike 2, advising players to steer clear of the game for a few months due to its ongoing teething issues. The Counter-Strike community remains divided and eagerly awaits further updates and improvements to address their grievances.
