PROS:

- The game plays well around having fun with your friends in custom matches or workshop maps
- The option of practicing the mechanics of the game in maps created by the community
- You can do all these things for free, you don't need the prime to be active in order to join private servers or workshop maps


CONS:

- The Premier mode is unbalanced, the skill gap being too big between players at the same rank every game
- The Competitive mode is bad, ranking up too hard while having no window for clues of the ranking system, which makes it unpopular
- Ping or server issues that persists every match, for example getting killed while you are already far behind a safe wall
- Cheaters rule the game to the point where you can't trust a player by their mechanical skill or game sense if you actually manage to find one
- The anti-cheat is too easy to bypass, the best it can do is warning you having a third party program active
- There is no punishment for toxic behavior and some players abuse that, ruining the match for all players
- Being forced to search and play on other third-party sites to have a glimpse of the competitive environment that this game provides with as less cheaters and toxic players as they can manage
- I can't start about the trading topic in this game because it might end up in my review being deleted
- More than 1 year since CS2 launched, yet same unresolved problems from 12 years ago and a few new more on top
