CS2 Players discussed the holiday feature, which was last available in the game\u2019s 2013 Giftsplosion event, in a Reddit thread, with some expressing a desire to see it return. The \u201cPallet of Presents\u201d, as the name suggests, is an old holiday item, which grants up to nine players a random gift when opened. The drop also had a cosmetic effect, turning the player who uses the pallet into an animation of Santa delivering presents. \u201cI think they\u2019d be fun,\u201d said one user, before adding the caveat that they\u2019d need to drop good items, with the majority of thread participants involved in the discussion saying they wanted to see it returned \u201cin a changed form\u201d. One suggestion was for all players to receive a key to open their own case, while another idea self-described as \u201ccontroversial\u201d was for players to choose a skin from their own library to gift to a friend. Another user lamented the item\u2019s use by bad faith actors in the past: \u201cI remember when they increased in price because people start promoting gambling sites through them.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible since Valve is an indie game company,\u201d said another user; referencing a popular meme used in gaming circles when larger companies blame lack of resources or staff for a failure to include requested features. There hasn\u2019t been any word on an official holiday event for CS2 yet this year, it\u2019s possible that with the game\u2019s recent public release Valve has a quiet Christmas planned for the title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Counter-Strike 2 players want Valve to bring back popular festive feature: \u201cPallet of Presents\u201d ValveWith Christmas right around the corner, Counter-Strike 2 players have expressed a desire for the return of the popular random gifting feature, the \u201cPallet of Presents\u201d, from previous holiday events.
