CS:GO is gone and CS2 is already a disappointment to fans in more ways than one
28.09.2023 - 20:39 / pcinvasion.com
Even though CS2 has just released, fans have been comparing it constantly to CS:GO, and some are mourning the differences. The intense FPS game retains much of the charm its predecessor had and improves upon a lot of the problems CS:GO was infamous for, such as graphics issues and other technical problems. However, while it is a fair argument to say the game has only just gotten out of beta, there is much to be desired, especially when evaluating its performance and bug issues. Naturally, no game is perfect on launch, but Valve’s player-base has high expectations some think haven’t been met. In this article, we will cover features that are missing from the game, as well as some prevailing issues and glitches.

Firstly, the most impactful problem players are still grappling with is the loss of some minigames and game modes that were fan favorites amongst the CS:GO community. The one that has players the most up in arms (no pun intended) is Arms Race, which is one of the original FPS game’s flagship modes. Even if you haven’t played CS:GO, or are only an avid fan, you will certainly recognize this game. Your task is to rack up 32 kills before 15 other opponents can get there, competing against everyone else in intense competition. The twist is that every kill gives you a new weapon, meaning you will need to be skilled in many different types of combat in order to come out on top. Other missing game modes are Danger Zone and Flying Scoutsman, the battle royale and low-gravity, team deathmatch game modes that were also incredibly popular in the original game.
It is an unfortunate reality that cheaters are already present in many lobbies within CS2. However, to add insult to injury, the game’s anticheat is not proficient in catching cheaters — at least, not to the degree many players expected it to be. After cheating became an issue within the CS:GO community, many shared the hope Valve would develop a stronger anticheat for CS2; however, that does not appear to be the case. In time, the anticheat may be updated, but for now, players will need to cross their fingers and hope cheaters and hackers get caught by the anticheat that currently exists.

Another problem players are running into is the fact that Mac support has been completely dropped by Valve. This means prospective players who have an Apple computer cannot play the game through the Steam store or on their device at all. Unfortunately for them, there are currently no solutions to this problem, and thus a significant portion of the gaming community has been shut out, unwillingly, from the brand-new FPS game. You can read more about this issue on the Steam FAQ board. For now, it looks like Mac users are simply out

A17 Pro Is Cheaper To Make Than Last Year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, But Is 27 Percent More Expensive Than The A16 Bionic, Claim New Estimates
The A17 Pro is Apple’s first 3nm SoC found only in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and mass produced on TSMC’s next-generation architecture. Naturally, the improvements the latest silicon carries compared to the A16 Bionic is sufficient to make it costlier than the latter, but by how much? Well, according to the latest estimates, there is a 27 percent cost increase, but that is not the surprising part, as even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 announced by Qualcomm in 2022 is pricier than Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone silicon.

Starfield becomes literally more expansive than ever with the introduction of its promised FOV slider
Good news for all the prey animals out there: Starfield's latest dinky update will finally allow you to achieve a field of view roughly equivalent to your own. The 1.7.36 patch for Bethesda's spacefaring RPG doesn't make many changes—in fact, it makes barely any—but it does fulfil Bethesda's promise of introducing a proper FOV slider to the game instead of forcing you to go rummaging around in .ini files to change the setting.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Hands-On Impressions – Leaping Out of the Comfort Zone
While Nintendo has never given up on the 2D Mario games, there’s long been a sense they’re not the plucky plumber’s top-of-the-line products. The New Super Mario Bros. games are good, polished fun, but they’re a little simple, a little bland, compared to inventive 3D classics like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey. That said, could the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Wonder mark an end to this trend?
