Former CS:GO pro is not happy with Counter-Strike 2

"The more I play Counter Strike 2 the more sad I get."
Alex Hopley Editor UK 9 June 2023

Counter-Strike 2 is one of the most anticipated shooters of the year, but even with a good deal of hype around it, those that are managing to experience the game are not always pleased with it.

Enter former CS:GO pro player Jacob "Pimp" Winneche, who has some big complaints about the shooter. Largely, his issues revolve around one aspect of the gameplay, and this its movement. He's described it as "clumsy" and "slow," stating that it is "at best awful."

He also wasn't pleased with crouching, saying that getting up from a crouch makes him feel as if he weighs 130kg. Beyond problems with movement, Winneche also has an issue with input lag, which comes into play when he's streaming.

We suppose we'll have to wait and see if these changes are as bad as Winneche is making them out to be when Counter-Strike 2 hits the mass audiences.
