G2 superstar, NiKo, expresses his strong dislike for the Vertigo map in CS2, calling it “fucking shit” and claiming it has gotten even worse compared to its CS:GO counterpart. Fans speculate that the issue lies in the difficulty of distinguishing sounds on Vertigo, particularly due to the elevation changes. The muffled sounds make it challenging to identify enemy movements, leading to surprise attacks. Valve may need to improve the sound design on Vertigo and Nuke maps to enhance gameplay experience.
