Valve warns against idling on CSGO in hopes of joining Counter-Strike 2 test ValveAccording to Valve, players hoping to access the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test by idling on CS:GO\u2019s servers are wasting their time. Upon announcing the Counter-Strike sequel last week, Valve unleashed a surprise limited test beta for select players to join. The studio soon thereafter revealed that Counter-Strike 2\u2019s beta selections were based on a range of factors, some of which included a user\u2019s Steam account standing and recent playtime on official Valve servers. Given the ongoing hype surrounding the testing phase, it should come as no surprise that players who weren\u2019t invited are trying to cheat the system. Valve shares PSA on CS:GO idling for Counter-Strike 2 beta test One way people have tried getting into the beta is by idling on Valve\u2019s CS:GO matchmaking servers. The general idea is to rack up enough playtime to trick Valve into letting them join the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test. However, the studio itself has said that such a tactic will prove little more than a waste of time. The playtime that matters for the currently running beta test was calculated ahead of its launch on Wednesday, March 22. This news will likely disappoint those who\u2019ve made an attempt at gaming the system over the last several days, especially since it\u2019s unclear if and when Valve will host another testing session after this one ends. At least the wait for the full game will not last for too much longer. The free-to-play Counter-Strike experience is expected to launch on an unspecified date this summer. With the summer months fast approaching, Valve developers are bound to share more specifics in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
