But sometimes, people can’t accept these ends. And they can’t find a successor more beautiful than the former. A similar thing happened with a former CS: GO pro and a legend of the game when he didn’t find the connection with CS2, which he used to with CS: GO.

Valve launched CS2 Beta on March 22. Since then, there have been a lot of speculations and comments about how CS2 will shape up differently than the iconic CS: GO.

This veteran is one of the best AWPers the game has ever seen. But surprisingly, Kenny felt the AWP flicks were slightly random in CS2 rather than CS: GO.

Smacking headshots are one of the most satisfying things in Counter-Strike games, both for the gamer and the viewer as well. But Kenny found the pistols in CS2 weird and unsatisfying, too.

Last but not least, CS2 has missed one big aspect, which will be a big concern not only to Kenneth but also to all the CS players around the world. As of now, there are no options for using the left-handed view model in Counter-Strike 2.

Even after all these complaints, Kenny has advised all of us to stay open-minded, as the game is in beta mode. We are all hoping that Valve will bring about the necessary changes and updates to carry forward the legacy on the shoulders of the upcoming installment.
