- A new beginning, a new day, a new case, and a whole new set of controversies... can CS2 really be anustart for Counter-Strike? In this video I question if Counter Strike 2 is leaving more than just Source 1 behind
The counter-terrorism report: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/...
0:00 - Leaving the old behind
0:55 - Dust2
1:35 - MONEY

4:17 - Character models
5:01 - School maps
5:52 - Terrorists

9:37 - Second chances - Hry
When I hear "terrorists win" i begin shaking and crying. It must be changed to "bad guys win" immediately.
NO! it must me "enemy team"!!!
I can’t believe there’s a C4 in the game. So globally offensive. They should change it to a Hamster in a Microwave
@@antihooligan1398 no no NOOOO!!! It should be changed to children and bakers, bakers need to plant the cake, and we all know cake is a lie so it doesn't even really exist, we'll be bringing attention to issues like obesity and schizophrenia with that!
No. "Red team is the winner!" best option so far.
@@antihooligan1398 thats too aggressive they must change it to opposite team win
I miss map based character models so bad... where all my boys gone Valve??
I especially miss the Terrorists from inferno and shoots, and the FBI CTs
Right,the Phoenix don’t fit at all in most maps
now all terrorists on all maps are russians. a huge win for realism of the game! I love the change, even if I despise custom models

LESS character
MORE gambling
LESS story
MORE gambling
LESS controversy
MORE GAMBLING
What story
@@Scrum_Master_Revolution Operations
@@de_dan Yeah exactly, one operation 9 years ago trying to do story and then them never following up on it doesnt equal anything. CS2 has the same amount of non existent story content.
@@Scrum_Master_Revolution yk before CSGO there was text displayed when the map loaded. And it did tell a story, in a way.
@@benismann Sometimes, but outside of the main maps no really. And even then, most of the time all it did was describe the bomb targets as the were in 1.6 and that was it. CZ and CSS inferno both refer to each bombsite as being a gas pipeline but neither still featured it.
7:37 The Italian flag hanging from that windowsill was of utmost controversy, and every past, present, and future player of CS will sleep soundly, knowing that it has been removed from the map forever
China moves in mysterious ways... Do not ask questions, and do not resist...
Good. I hate Italy.
from a map called cs_italy...
They didnt even bother to rebake the map after removing the flag lmaooooo its shadow still there
I fear the only way to stop this is if we start getting as upset about BS like this as the idiots who are upset about art having character. Fictional art is dying a slow death because people keep taking it out of fiction and adding construed "context" that helps their narrative best. God this makes me furious. Even though I don't give a fuck about a detail like this in a vacuum, the reason why it is changed is just foul and empowering the wrong people.
Counter-Terrorists vs Terrorists is fucking cool. It's pathetic and embarrassing to rip out more and more of the game's identity to satisfy people who will never be happy until Counter-Strike: For Kids becomes the official competition version of the game.

They're real too.
ETA, an acronym for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna ("Basque Homeland and Liberty" or "Basque Country and Freedom"), was an armed Basque nationalist and far-left separatist organization in the Basque Country between 1959 and 2018, with its goal being independence for the region.

@@benismann Tell that to everyone who doesn't know they are, which is like 80% of the playerbase.
@@V-XENO Do they also hate chickens irl
they say something after this sentence. it ends with feed some bones or something
personally I think a game themed after counterterrorism should aim for the most varied offensive political imagery possible. make a map with PRC special forces gunning down Uyghur militants, one with Black Wasps vs CIA infiltrators, and so on down the line until players need a reference guide to remember which side are supposed to be "the good guys." the incessant arguments will be great for engagement.
This is the dream alright. One of my favorite things about CSGO was the variety of terrorists and counter terrorists. I was devastated seeing only SAS and Phoenix in CS2. Part of the game died for me. There's so much untapped potential in having various realistic teams to play on, but alas, today's world just won't allow it

The new counter-strike era is so much about raw competitive play, even the casual mode players are toggling cheats to not lose
surfing is dying :/
@@LeilaNamer There are a few surfing servers out there for CS2, but the official server browser seems to not work, and you're better off using a community made server browser.
That's been like that for a while tbh... Competitivity has ruined videogames overall for the last 10 or so years, where you either play full hardcore or are bound to have a sub-par experience due to cheaters or tryhards/smurfs

@@Ferrari255GTOthe moment corporations at large saw the potential money that could be had from doing this among other practices like loot boxes and battle passes, dlc and more...
is the same moment where the decline happened, and time and time again gamers have proven to be literal sheep and never vocalized against these practices by voting with their wallets.
"fix the cheater issue that people *think* the game has" contraversial there Philip
I'm high trust factor I almost never see cheaters. I'm at only like 12k premier tho.
Honestly more people need to say that shit, I remember csgo in 2014-15 when cheaters were supposedly in every game... I ran into single digit number of cheaters over 1000+ hours, I genuinely think gamers just have severe ego issues and can't accept they lost.
@@TheInfectous nah, i almost never run in aim cheaters (like one in 30-70 games and its usually obvious), but often run into wallers. I have really good hearing and often get called a waller, but it helps me know the difference. I download the demo (type in demoui to get a handy tool to help, and press x to see through walls), and they do the dumbest shit. The best way to spot a waller is inconsistency.
Anyway, it's hard to say for 100% certain, because they play dumb very well most of the time, but sometimes it's just the only explanation excluding that they are just a walking coincidence machine.
A waller about 1 every 5 games. Way too many.
@@TheInfectous Whats your steam account? Ill show you my past 100 demos, more than 50% had clear cheaters. Unranked -> 10 000 premier
@@ANDR0iD Yeah it's not a big problem for people with high trust factor.. but streamers seem to struggle a lot with this issue. Watching them play makes me wonder how much effort Valve truly puts into their anti cheat, if at all. Obvious aim/wall-hackers spinning, bhopping around the map and even shooting faster than possible with some guns, and the AC is unable to detect that within a time span of a month? That's... not good.
Sure, hardly have to deal with it myself because my trust factor apparently is high enough, but I also played with a Wall Hacker about 2 weeks ago. He would call all enemy positions throughout the round. We reported him and so did the enemy team, yet his account is still not banned. Makes me wonder if hackers are really rare on high trust factor matches, or it's just less obvious (using less effective hacks like WH => getting reported less => maintaining decent trust factor, but still getting an unfair advantage).
The "seriousness" of Counter-Strike is one of the main aspects that appealed to me as a kid. I liked how "realistic" the Rainbow Six were but I found them too tactical and complex, plus they didn't show you a weapon model. Counter-Strike was arcadey and accessible but still serious enough for me to imagine myself playing part of a high stakes anti-terrorist mission.
I miss that genre of first person shooters so much. The CoD MW campaign nails the dangerous tacticool atmosphere in many missions and I'm sure that's why many people find them memorable so I know I'm not alone on this.
Bingo! Same for me with racing games. I love me old NFS MW from 2005. It's right there on the border between realism and arcade fun. I tried forza, and Asseto Corsa, but they're just not for me. New Need for Speed games are terrible in my opinion ( mainly because i can't drive like in MW, but there's also this weird plot every time), though i had a little bif of fun with HEAT. Old COD games were awesome, i still play from time to time COD 1 and 2 and WaW, because they bring me joy that new games lack.
@@kniazjarema8587i played unbound it's really fun you should maybe try it if you haven't
MW was also released at the perfect time. Mw 1-3 were all realistic enough (for their time) to appeal to a wider audience than BO without being too complex like BF. Also these were the last stand alone games before all that pay to win, 1000 different loadout slots and whatnot that was introduced.
When i got my 360 i bought mw3 and was hooked, later we had lan parties where we played mw2 and occasionally mw1 which were both fun as well. Now pubg and cs have taken their spot for me.
You're 100% not alone in this. I always thought the same but could never word it the way you did. Good job.
Yup same. To quote famous Motown bassist James Jamerson: "The dirt keeps the funk.". No dirt, no funk. These squeaky clean modern games catered towards children and Twitters "social justice warriors" are about as interesting and appealing as a loaf of American toast. As soon as something is popular enough it gets castrated to appease them.
CS2 is becoming more sterile and corporate and i hate that
soon we get lgbt agent skins
Genuine question, why do you hate that? And what exactly do you mean by sterile and corporate, can you give examples? Genuinely curious about an opposing viewpoint, since I personally have liked every change they made. (I only play like once a week though, so maybe I am not invested enough to "get it", no idea)
@@Preohhhbecause its a slow and painful crawl towards, blandness, homogeneity, and boredom, where we end up with these things not having any unique identity, even though games are supposed to escape reality and have fun, not emulate it with lengthy abstractions but if you look at it at a macro scale, its an emulation of reality or some aspect of it.
@@imgladnotu9527 Bland, homogenous and boring? What parts of CS2 are that, in your opinion? I personally can't see it, but do tell. I'd love to understand your perspective.
Also, you lost me a bit at the end. "emulate reality with lengthy abstractions" -what do you mean by that?
And if you ask me, CS2 is not really that realistic nor is it an emulation of reality. But again, would love to hear your viewpoint.
@@PreohhhYou don''t see it, I do. It's not there yet, but it's coming, slowly and surely. Even klik showed an example, where the word "terrorists" dissapeared off the screen. It's not much, but it's a step, and ahead of you is a staircase.

If every game bends to the will of these “potential problematic risks” we’re gonna end up with My Team vs. Enemy Team like COD did a couple years back.
Reminder that CoD Vanguard had a literal, unironic lesbian German soldier.
@@peepsbates Hey, you can’t say German anymore, that’s a buzzword!
@@peepsbates There were gay and lesbian soldiers in WW2 its actually a pretty interesting topic.
I assume youre talking about Constanze Muller (Ive nevr played the game she's who i could find) its kind of disingenuous to say she was a German soldier since apparently she switched sides to the allies.
If she was a nazi soldier it wouldve been a bit dumber (The Nazis did put gay people in the holocaust as well) but it actually just works with history.
@@peepsbatesi cant imagine the shock you will have once you find out that many gay and lesbians kept their mouths shut and proceeded to do what they were told to to not get murdered or put into jail. Theres also the so called Blitzmädels wich surely had one or another lesbian. On the other hand lesbians might have also not feared any consequences because homosexiality was only forbidden for men but this topic is very unclear and discussed.
at the end of the day both sides are whining about something so it doesnt matter
I missed having country flags next to the guns in the buy menu, just a little bit of some actual information someone could learn while playing. I'm no gun nut, without CSGO I never would have learned the Famas was French or the Negev Israeli. I also miss blood pooling beneath someone when they died on top of the bullet wounds, and you could shoot the dead to make them move which should be a thing :/
Yeah and they removed the weapon stats????

5:51 RIP that security guard
Nah, he owed me a beer. He had it coming.
Man, I just don't like some of the new agents being ripped literally from "CS1" and sold back to us. Any other company that does that would get fire all over their feeds
PLUS ... I feel like the personality in each faction's voiceovers, along with the map-specific faction use, really gave life to the whole package. now the Agents talk like corporate greenwashed advertisements, and they look like over designed, toothless, characters from a mobile game.
The agents are cosmetics, and the game is free. Why would anyone complain?
@@troublishone there are three exact agents that were literally FREE when each map had a designated T faction you'd play as. Now they're 2-5 bucks. You can shrug your shoulders, but the precedent you're allowing is not going to be friendly in 5 year's time.
I feel like the new agent voice lines are more boring then corporate. Some of the first ones had some personality added in, but it feels like they added too many too soon and just couldnt be assed to go further then the basic script.
Something being free doesnt guard it from criticism, thats retarded.@@troublishone
@@josephs.3372 The precedent that this sets is that cosmetics are fine to sell. I will not care in 5 years when they are selling key chains for guns or pet chickens you get in the match intro or match win celebrations. These do not affect me at all, or the game.
7:34 you have an arrow to the attachment on the soldier's helmet saying "lol wtf is this" and it is a nightvision monocular. They are very common among combat troops to see in the night or dark rooms/tunnels etc. His is flipped up on a Norotos Rhino mount because he is apparently in a bright enough area to not need to use it. A few CS CT models also have nightvision although I think they all use dual tubes instead of the monocular with 1 tube for viewing. Theres pros and cons to using 1 tube, 2 or even 4 but ultimately the "this" you were wondering about is nightvision for later use

Map based characters seemed like pawns at first glance, but had such an interesting faction history and personalities to explore via their voicelines. Their eyes reflected the sorrow and misery they endure in battle, others reflected determination and professionalism, but rarely indifference. I loved feeling part of that setting.
Modern agents scream for recognition, but there's nothing interesting or noble about them. They're the analogy of poorly written protagonists which the author wants you to like.

The balls around the college level were less about the level itself, but VOID Interactive saying "Yes, we are aware why you have concerns and understand it. But we are still not going to abandon the vision of portraying a real life problem in a game supposed to depict real life problems."
But if it comes to content of the level, Neon Tomb and Valley Of The Dolls are much, much worse and I'm wondering why people aren't freaking about it.
Because when you play Neon Tomb, you realize just how much they were forced to hold back, really. Or do hundreds of innocent lives not matter if they're shot in a night club ?
To this day my college refuses to have a CS team solely because of the mention of terrorists. We have Valorant, COD and R6 but we cant have CS because they say "Terrorists" instead of "Attackers". Its so cool that I cant play my favorite game competitively because some people are scared of a word.

Valve really doesn’t care, it’s as clear as day. They want kids opening cases and the money that brings. They are close to moral bankruptcy in my opinion.
honestly cases, skins and overall steam as a trading platform has been a downfall for valve in terms of creativity (its a goldmine in terms of finances ofc)
they are victims of their own success those 3 things basically generate infinite money for valve so they dont need to make video games because the cash is always going up and up, they dont even make the skins because fans make them for a small cut of the profits
@@lefunnyN1 - On the flip-side, they could have also not invested that money into engineering the Steam Deck, as brilliant of a device as it is
(I incidentally sold all of my CS2 items for good just to buy one), but in fact they did, and they've improved on the device significantly as well.
When Valve invests money into innovative hardware and software, they stand to win a lot more.
I think Valve isn't bothered by off-loading the making of skins to the community because they don't find it to be an innovative process anymore. With current Valve, you are simply not going to see a new game or a piece of tech until it contains something that is incomparable to anything that came before it.
Ergo, it takes a verrry long time, and they end up shelving a lot of projects along the way. What you may perceive as a creative black hole.
Funny Valve is the reason for lootboxes existing (TF2, CS:GO/CS2, Dota 2 etc) yet people will never blame them for it due to being incredibly bias to the company.

Everything you say is true, the question is: Does Valve care about your opinion or that of the rest of the people who play? NO.
The objective was to get the most monetary benefit from the game, and they forgot about the people who played casually, and who did not have computers worth more than 1,000 dollars or more, to enjoy a gaming experience at more than 144 fps.
I have a laptop, where CSGO was going at 500-550 FPS, and now in Anubis, with CS2 when they throw 2 smoke bombs at me, the game goes at 80.
Added to the number of hackers, it is unfeasible. Thank you
i love ur vids the only meta cs channel god bless you!
Still waiting for IDF and Somali pirates (and other factions) to be brought back to the game.
Please one video about the state of the art anticheat we have .
Solve the cheater issue that people THINK the game has" -Philip. I guess he doesn't want to say things definitely without proof but cmon, it is so obvious and has been going on for months
You must get this a lot, but you're a great video creator Philip!! Having stopped playing the game a long time ago, you are the only CS youtuber I remain watching, solely because of the high quality of videos and analysis that you provide. Really good job! It also helped being subscribed to your other channels, as then it's not solely CS. :)
Great video, been watching Philips for almost a decade and almost never have i seen him directly adress CSs many controversies. Btw, my friend and I actually made and finished a map of our high school in 12th grade, good times.
team names should change to my team and enemy team, and the player models should look like the stick figures on bathroom and traffic signs
I don't know, hearing the word "enemy" literally has me shaking in my boots. I suggest "Other Team" instead.
There needs to be a highlight on how people are bot farming arms race servers, multiple accounts join and start kicking everyone. Before you can report most of the time you have already been voted off
CS2 being the "most played game on Steam" is very likely 80% bot accounts. I truly believe that, because the game sucks.
It happened quite often in GO on Flying Scoutsman servers
Something something TF2.
Your videos are so good theyre jsut so good
Thanks Philip for such good content through the years. I would comment more if only I known that what I say would not be a target for some bot to respond to. But know this, I truly apreaciete the conntent you make, that I watched through middle, high school and uni.
It's kinda crazy reading comments under Atomic Amnesia video and seeing so much other people just like you, who watched for so long that AA is kind of nostalgia music.
Anyway, I LOVE CABOOSING
So, CS:GO was existing for 10+ years and no one was bothering about it's realism, but now suddnly someone is scared about it? Bullshit.
When the announcer says "Counter terrorist win" I feel offended, it implies the opposite team are terrorist when we don't really know what lead them to where they are 😢
I noticed you used the new Atomic Amne-zee-a remake in this vid! Great song :)
finally, someone talking about the models of each map
Removing the IDF playmodels was a huge L they removed the classic dust2 vibe
And the elite crew, amarchists, separatists, the pirates, professionals, FBI, GIGN, ST6, SWAT, GSG9... It sucks.
funny that the IDF fighting murdering terrorists is "controversial"
Not as "controversial" as the KSK (An cosmetic agent in CS2 that still exists to this day) irl that used to commit assassinations agaisnt German politicians, as well as carryng out attacks against German immigrants lol
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!
great vid! it's a shame it's only 10 minutes. have a good one
CS2 unfortunately can't distance itself from the previous title because it replaced it and forced all players to switch to it.
Comparisons and criticisms due to missing content from CS:GO will continue for a long time.
Exactly. We were forced into a change with less features and poor performance, with the already existing issues of CSGO exacerbated and they still dont deliver quality content to make up for it even though they make 40 milllion euro each month just from case openings alone.
I dont think this game will ever be better than csgo
it is and it will be even more
Why not? What about it now would you consider to be worse than CSGO?
@@miguelisaurusbruh1158it is dogshit and inferior in every single way
Its been a year and its still missing 80% of CSGO's already existing content
People where saying this back when CS:GO was released.
It would've been better if the game was released separately and not replacing CS:GO.
I don’t know if this is just because I’m drunk but I think this video is nice
Everything from 5:11 - 5:28 is so true, that was very well put.
There you are, playing the PvP in your contemporary shooter, and all of a sudden, you're a terrorist. You didn't ask for this. You didn't choose this. Yet, there it is, and it's treated no different than playing a counter-terrorist.
I love it when someone comes out and goes "Valve should follow industry trends" as if their entire existence isn't a massive spit in the face of industry trends and they're one of the richest, most influential and most moral big game companies in existence as a result.
They should not only return the character models, they should double down.
Advertisers will come to them because it is a colossal viewerbase that they'll want to target.
Nobody realistically gives a single F about this type of BS, its a tiny irrelevant minority of clowns who whine about it online and then the tiny minority of clowns that infiltrated the other companies feign offense.
Spit in their face everytime they demand or even hint at wanting you to bow to their will then listen exclusively to your fanbase and you'll be successful, it's really that simple.
Valve isn't as special as you think it is.
@@kentknightofcaelin4537
What's not special about them?
They're a private company unlike every other huge gaming company, that already makes them completely different.
They're the ones that started both the lootbox trend and the battlepass trends which other companies took and made 500x worse.
They own 2 of the biggest eSport games on the planet, they own the biggest community of gamers on the planet, they essentially own the entirety of PC gaming as a result, they're at the forefront of VR gaming (at least when they decide to release the next Index), they're at the forefront of Handheld technology.
They're so insanely profitable it puts every giant games company to shame.
They've been doing all of this while avoiding having any massive anti consumer scandals, the ones they've been linked to haven't even been by them directly (like CS:GO gambling sites).
So, how are they not special exactly?
They're literally the opposite of what horrendous companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft are and they're vastly more important to gaming.
EA disappears tomorrow "oh well we lost a handful of gaming franchises people somewhat cared about"
same for Ubisoft and Activision.
Valve goes away tomorrow PC gaming implodes, Microsoft gets a stranglehold of gaming as a whole, anti consumer practices go into overdrive due to all the platforms being owned by these same scummy companies and some of the greatest franchises in gaming disappear.
what gaben propaganda does to a mf
@@_Firebert
Prove anything I said was false otherwise its not propaganda, its just you being butthurt.
Below the surface of the internet, the dankness never stopped for spicy memery.
2:20 I just noticed this guy on the logo has a creepy grin, I thought it was put there by Philip because of the zoom effect. Turns out, it's there on the official artwork too and now I cannot unsee it.
Anyways, great video although I think some might misunderstand it
I still prefer cs source than cs2
so in a game where ppl shoot and kill each other you cant say "fuck"HAHAHAHAHAH
Dude made it rain for a while
Respect
2:56 thats because, iirc, twitch's official policy is that the streamer isnt liable for people appearing on the stream
So if a guy in game says a slur, you wont get in trouble. I had a "friend" "jokingly" threaten to do this a couple of times because of that rule
Fix the smurfs, cheaters, and ranking system. Also bring back unique map models.
When will you people shut up?
