Oh dear.Counter-Strike 2has already become Valve’s worst-rated game of all-time on Steam, only a couple of weeks after it was released.
Counter-Strike 2was launched on 27 September on PC as a free successor to the incredibly popularCounter-Strike: Global Offensive. While the thought of a new and improved successor may sound exciting, fans mourned the fact that its release speltthe death of their belovedCS:GO. That sense of disappointment has now only increased as players claim thatCounter-Strike 2pales in comparison to its predecessor. Already, the game has beenreview-bombed on Steamwith fans complaining about the absence of certain multiplayer maps and modes - although these will hopefully be added further down the line. It’s had a major impact onCounter-Strike 2’s rating.
Take a look atCounter-Strike 2in action below.

“However you feel about the update toCS2, CS:GOshould not have been delisted. Also, merging reviews ofGOinto2’s is very dishonest,” wrote one unser. “Releasing an unfinished game and removing the original, good job,” sarcastically declared another, while one review read, “What was the point of releasing this? A large amount of features and modes that were inCS:GOare just gone.”
It’s a similarly sad picture on Metacritic, with users rating the game a measly 3.0. To compare to other Valve titles’ user Metacritic scores,CS:GOsits at 7.2,Half Lifesits at 9.1, whileLeft 4 Deadhas a score of 7.8. I can’t imagine Valve reinstatingCS:GObut hopefully we’ll see various modes and maps added inCounter-Strike 2.
