“обновленный движок Source 2 сделал графику заметно сочнее и освещение реалистичнее” (11)
Позади почти 300 часов и хочу оставить развернутый отзыв на CS2. Плюсы: * Обновленный движок Source 2 сделал графику заметно сочнее, а освещение — реалистичнее. * Новая механика дымовых гранат (саб-тик и взаимодействие с пулями/осколочными) сильно освежила тактику. * Удобное меню закупки перед раундами и возможность продать случайно купленное оружие. * Игра постоянно развивается, выходят патчи и исправления ошибок. Минусы: * Античит не всегда оперативно справляется, из-за чего фактор доверия (Trust Factor) действительно критически важен для комфортных матчей. Игра остается главным соревновател

“single update alienated all players and destroyed community trust” (18)
非常烂的游戏体系,市场还是V社自己说了算,一个更新能把所有玩家都得罪了。玩家的信任被消耗殆尽,游戏的寿命也到头了
