Counter-Strike 2’s biggest upgrade from CS:GO is its new smoke grenade mechanics—smokes now interact with the environment (e.g., flow around corners, dissipate slowly) and block vision longer, which has completely shifted the competitive meta. For PC players who switched from CS:GO to CS2, how have these new smokes changed your strategy for popular maps like Dust II or Inferno—do you find it easier to execute site takes by using smokes to cut off enemy sightlines, or do you struggle to adapt to how smokes disperse compared to the more predictable CS:GO smokes? Additionally, CS2’s ranking system was reworked to be more ‘skill-based’—do you think it’s fairer than CS:GO’s system, or do you still experience ‘elo hell’ where wins and losses feel out of your control due to teammate performance? Finally, the PC version’s graphics upgrade makes maps more detailed—does this better visual clarity help you spot enemies in dark areas (e.g., Mirage’s B site) or does it distract you with unnecessary details?
