CS2 players convinced Valve is trolling with new barebones update ValveCounter-Strike 2 players are convinced Valve is trolling them with a new barebones update that only contains a single change in its full patch notes. Over the past few months, Valve has been in the spotlight thanks to Deadlock, however over the course of its early access many CS2 fans have felt as if they were getting left behind for the MOBA. Given Valve\u2019s recent slowdown in updating the game, players\u2019 fears may be right, as there are barely any major updates nor any big Operations in sight. Tensions have now come to a head following CS2\u2019s September 10 update, which only contained a single minor change. \u201cPractice matches and matches started with the \u201cmap\u201d command will now run in engine loopback mode to match the CS:GO offline default Engine loopback bypasses most networking code for the host, resulting in one less tick of latency for the local player.\u201d That\u2019s the full contents of the latest CS2 update. It essentially serves as a slight server fix, the sort that would normally be part of a more significant update CS2 would receive. \u201cNo way they changed the tweet from \u2018Release Notes\u201d to just \u2018Release note\u2019. We\u2019re getting trolled at this point,\u201d commented Counter-Strike YouTuber Anomaly. \u201cThey turned CS2 into the new TF2,\u201d another player said, comparing Valve\u2019s treatment of the tactical FPS to their former hero shooter. As many others pointed out, the update was so minor that it was only 12.2 KB, and unless you were made aware of the patch, you most likely didn\u2019t even know there was an update. \u201cReally appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into this patch note,\u201d a commenter said sarcastically about the update. Many others were begging for an Operation, something we haven\u2019t seen since 2021\u2019s Operation Riptide, and at the time of writing, there are none slated to be coming to CS2 anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
