Valve’s recent alteration to the bomb blast radius in Counter-Strike 2 has caused quite a stir among players, who believe it will have a significant impact on gameplay. The change, which affects maps like Mirage, Nuke, Vertigo, and Overpass, has sparked a discussion within the community about whether it was intentional or not. Regardless, players are certain that it will greatly influence the game’s economy.
According to a CS:GO content creator, the larger bomb radius will force terrorists to vacate the bomb sites earlier to avoid losing money and risking their economy. Failure to do so will likely result in their demise. On the other hand, counter-terrorists will now have more incentive to save and seek exit kills. Additionally, if CTs are interrupted while defusing, they will be unable to escape the bomb site, making the situation even riskier.
While some players have requested adjustments to this change, it is expected to remain in the game for the time being. Valve will likely assess its impact on gameplay once the game is available to a wider audience. This alteration, combined with the shift to MR12, will undoubtedly lead to a different approach to the economy in CS2. Both sides will need to manage their finances more wisely, particularly CTs who rely on utility to fend off enemies.
