Counter-Strike 2 has arrived, but players will need to find a new way to access their favorite surf maps. One significant change in the game is the relocation of the community server browser. Instead of being within Counter-Strike itself, the browser can now be found in Steam. Although players can still access it from CS2, the browser will open in a separate Steam tab.
Community servers have always been an integral part of the Counter-Strike experience, offering various game modes and opportunities for players to practice and warm up. Valve has allowed the community to create and customize servers using their assets, resulting in a diverse range of options.
Aside from the server browser move, CS2 brings other updates. The old MR30 round system, where the first team to win 16 rounds emerged victorious, has been replaced by MR24. Halves now consist of 12 rounds, and the first team to win 13 rounds wins the match. Skins have also received significant updates, with many of the more visually appealing ones undergoing a major facelift. Additionally, players can now sell back purchased weapons before a round starts, allowing for better strategic decision-making.
Counter-Strike, a gaming titan, has finally embraced modernization. As long as the game continues to engage with its community and prioritize competitive integrity, it will thrive in 2023 and beyond.
