Counter-Strike 2 players discover why CS2\u2019s AWP is worse than CSGO\u2019s ValveCounter-Strike 2 players have discovered a somewhat hidden yet massive nerf to CS2\u2019s AWP in comparison to CSGO\u2019s, leading many to understand why high-profile AWPers like s1mple are stepping away from pro play. Counter-Strike 2\u2018s launch has certainly been a controversial one. Though some of the initial hype has been lived up to between the game\u2019s drastically improved graphics and new features, there are also a lot of changes that didn\u2019t quite stick the landing. Even CS2\u2019s devs have admitted that the launch has been \u201cbumpy\u201d, and that there are some things that they\u2019d like to fix. However, there\u2019s one thing that appeared not to have been touched: the AWP. While it got a somewhat controversial magazine size nerf late in CSGO\u2019s life, the AWP is sacred when it comes to Counter-Strike. It\u2019s meant to exist as a very expensive one-shot kill option that\u2019ll put a hole through whatever it\u2019s aimed at. However, Counter-Strike 2 players have discovered that the AWP got a huge change in the transition to CS2, one so controversial that many aren\u2019t sure whether it was intended or if it\u2019s just a bug. Counter-Strike 2 players discover massive AWP nerf With the AWP being a strong enough weapon to warrant its own role on a team, it\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s Counter-Strike\u2019s most iconic weapon. The moment someone gets their hands on an AWP, the game changes. However, with CS2 getting a spray decrease on pretty much every weapon, hitting that initial AWP shot became that much more important in Counter-Strike 2 compared to CSGO. Some thought this was a core part of why the AWP felt a bit harder to use in CS2, and that\u2019s partially correct. Players have discovered that getting hit while scoping with the AWP throws off your accuracy, something that wasn\u2019t the case in CSGO. While that window of reduced accuracy isn\u2019t too long, it\u2019s long enough to throw off your shot. Especially in the case of high level players who will be landing shots much more consistently than the average player. Some have speculated that every weapon has some amount of shake when you get hit now, and that it\u2019s just much more noticeable with the AWP than it is with other guns. Even dev1ce, one of Counter-Strike\u2019s most esteemed AWPers, was surprised to learn about this nerf. Whatever the case, Counter-Strike 2 players are not happy about the AWP being so drastically nerfed. Whether or not Valve addresses the gun\u2019s reduced accuracy remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
