Counter-Strike 2, despite its legacy of addictive gameplay, is marred by two significant issues that render it nearly unplayable. Firstly, the game is overrun by cheaters to the point where every match feels like a futile battle against fidget spinners. Despite efforts to curb cheating, the prevalence of hackers wielding aimbots and wallhacks, anti-aims and rapidfires, makes genuine competition a rarity. This rampant cheating not only ruins the experience for honest players but also undermines the integrity of the game's competitive ecosystem. Not to mention, this starts at 15,000 elo, while 20,000 and above is just pure 5v5 HvH. They did so called "VAC Wave", yet almost nothing has changed.

Adding insult to injury, Counter-Strike 2 is plagued by a myriad of bugs and technical issues that further detract from the enjoyment. From game-breaking glitches to erratic hit detection, these issues compound the frustration of dealing with cheaters, creating an experience that feels more like a chore than a pastime. Until these fundamental problems are effectively addressed, Counter-Strike 2 remains a shadow of its former self, unable to deliver the exhilarating gameplay it once promised.
