Should CS2 be Frame-Locked?
It's been tested and proven changing your frame-rate affects game mechanics due to Sub-Tic. Having played fighting games for a long time I was excited for Sub-Tic originally because it sounded a lot like rollback net code. Which was a game-changer for the FGC. However fighting games are locked to 60fps due to the way the games work with attack timings. Could CS2 get away with being locked to 120fps. Maybe increase that to 240 or higher depending on hardware in a few years. Maybe I don't understand the tech well enough. Seems like a simple solution to me considering all the syncing and hit reg issues we have in the game currently.

All this just to find out I suck lol. Well at least it gives me something to work on. Time to move on to Intermediate.

I do think CS2 is better than CS:GO but its tough for me, there are bigger issues with CS2 than there ever were with GO. I've seen clips recently with issues as serious as player models being invisible. While I haven't seen definitive proof of bad hit reg the fact that its questionable isn't great.

On the community side of things, bots everywhere in DM. Cheaters playing with what seems like impunity. The fact that there's a thriving market for accounts means there's demand which isn't a great sign for rank integrity forget people using them to cheat.

Also, while I like most of the updates, excluding the Armory. The market tanking isn't a great look. All this with no real response from Valve. For a long time I liked this approach, one or two issues would slowly and silently get addressed. However when several issues start to pile up like this with radio silence from the people handling the game it's really tough for me to maintain a positive stance.

I'm going to keep playing, I love the game but everyday I understand more and more why it seems like more and more players are leaving. Of course there's always a way to come back I mean look at Runescape the removing free trade almost killed the game and than it made a generational come back and OSRS is one of the top MMO's. I don't think things are quite that bad but it's atleast the worst things have been since GO released and split the community.

It's days like today that make me understand the redditors and X complainers that go out and say "CS2 is dead" I played 4 games 3 of which was 20k-25k vs 5-10k prem. we won and I got no elo. Then the 4th we had a 400 hour racist that was throwing and I ended the 4 game session 3:1 but down elo. I'm cool I love the game it is what it is but I totally understand how this would drive someone over the edge.

Another one... wtf is going on

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Try to guess how this game ended...

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Nigema? In 2026? They were fucking gaming against Vitality... PGL finals tmrw, what's gonna happen?

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Who are the top awpers rn? Shiro, Zywoo, M0nesy? than maybe Molodoy? Do Jame and Sunpayus make it into the conversation?

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Team Liquid... you're killing me.

Personally, I don't think the #CS2 October 2025 update was such a big deal... Sure it was the catalyst that started this down-spiral but I think there's a lot of other factors at play.

I have a Newspaper📰 hung up in my room, yes I'm old, the front page is "Will Esports Vanquish the NFL". This is a front page article in a major Financial paper, The IBD, If you trade stocks📈 you're likely familiar. This is referring to the Dota internationals at their peak. While Esports has made Horizontal progress since than on the whole it hasn't really moved its ceiling up much, in fact it may have gone down.

Also, Pokémon 3rd party interest has moved into the gambling space💰. Some of these websites will be in a sort of indirect competition with Counter-Strike Gambling websites. If you're commercial interest you have options now. Not only that but recently you can bet on Esports on many mainstream platforms removing the need to gamble skins to scratch that itch. Your opinion of gambling aside, there's no denying its influence on the market.

Despite all this, I think there's a lot of evidence the market is pretty healthy and perhaps this is a good thing as it may represent some bad actors leaving👍. Personally I've sold rarer more "in-the-know" (Old Dreamhack souvenirs, Kato crafts, etc.) items for record highs recently. While those are enthusiast sales and don't represent the market as a whole it does tell me there's still excited collectors out there. Once more, If you look at older skins that have had a steady price long term they haven't moved as much as the newer skins, some not at all. I point to the AK Redline one of the most liquid skins in the game.

All of that aside, I love this game. While I don't know what's going to happen next I'm here for it. I have my Boston 2018 collection representing what was maybe the greatest Final ever played and that's never leaving my inventory. It's a prized possession. However I think we're going to need more big moments like that before things start to get better. Niko winning his first major was a good start.✌️

@wayneatkid1 @everydayodd no its not lol its 116911

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Interesting... Maybe? Idk Defuse kit feels like it should have already been a thing and the AUG reload time feels so random.

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

I guess is time to stop being a stubborn and figure out how all this AI shit works... Don't want to get left behind here.

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Am I the only one that feels like complete system overhauls are constantly happening on all of my applications. It feels like a huge "Fuck You"... Like "oh you just learned how this works..." "how about if we just change everything..." Mildly frustrating...

[Reagret @ReagretTV]

Kinda different from my normal Content. I was on the Lake Affect Podcast. We talked about Pokemon, Sports, TCG's in general comparing that with the CS2 Skins market. Check it out here: https://t.co/2QhpnSzPhC
