CS:GO was great, but ever since they updated this to CS:2, there is at least one BLATANT hacker that the entire team eventually kicks on just about every casual match I join. It's gotten to the point where it's just aggravating to play because of it and Valve is doing absolutely nothing about it. 650 hours of playing CS:GO and CS:2 and I've never seen it this bad before.

All FPS games should feel like this. The cinematic quality, intensity, atmosphere, and overall polished gameplay make this one of the best I've played. Few games feel this smooth, play this well, and make you want to play them over again. I've been an avid FPS gamer since Half Life 1, and while this doesn't break any new ground in technological capabilities, the gameplay is nonetheless top tier and is easily up there with the best FPS single player campaigns I've ever played.

The game looks awesome and the design is great, but this is legitimately the first game I've run across that I couldn't play due to performance issues. I'm not sure if it's by design or an optimization issue, but wow is it bad.

Both of the computers I tried to run this on did not meet minimum specs for the game, which has never been a problem before. I could always make games relatively playable by dropping resolution, or further dropping specs to the bare minimum, up to this point. On the absolute bare minimum specs, this game simply will not run at anywhere close to a playable framerate, while looking far worse than other games that do, like Skyrim, Raft, Subnautica, Outer Wilds, Valheim, and even Red Dead Redemption 2, just to name a few. I realize Skyrim is old, but it looks better on either of these PCs than this game does at everything set to "performance."

So if you're looking to get this game, make sure that you have a decent gaming setup, or it simply will not be playable.
