The CS2 beta, released in March 2023, has garnered mixed reviews from players regarding the brightness adjustments made by Valve. While some appreciate the vibrant colors, many feel that the maps now appear cartoonish and reminiscent of VALORANT, leading to discomfort and gameplay issues.
Players have reported experiencing dizziness and eye strain due to the exaggerated brightness in CS2. Some even suffer from headaches after extended play sessions. The increased brightness has also affected gameplay, as certain areas become excessively bright while others remain too dark, allowing players to blend in with agent skins.
Aside from gameplay concerns, players have expressed disappointment with the appearance of weapon skins in CS2. They believe that the skins look washed out and lack the personality and appeal they had in CS:GO. Many players hope that Valve will allow skin creators to update their designs to improve their visual quality.
Despite these criticisms, Valve still has time to address player feedback before the worldwide release of CS2 this summer. It remains to be seen whether further adjustments will be made to address the concerns raised by the community.
