A week after release Counter Strike 2 feels like an early access game.

In it's current state if you a competitive player you will find nothing but frustrations with poor optimisation, hit registration, server interpolation, visual bugs while firing.
Currently the servers feel and for most part play like 32 tick or lower where randomly you get shot even before the opponent is rendered on your screen.

Avoid this until it gets fixed.

This game as old as it is the single player campaign is still one of the best even better than the new MW2 (2022).

The game is unable to meintain a steady 144FPS when runing the best of specs on all the graphical options being turned to minumum.
The increadibly flustrating server lag.
Lack of fluidity and the game feels like it doesnt deserve a 1.0 status and should still be in beta.

Very poorly optimised, poor connectivity to any servers impossible to play and horrible first impression. No local server hosting functionality and lasy ps4 port.
