with CoD being an embarrassment, Battlefield losing the core audience to a Roblox clone, Halo Infinite dying faster than a full rush B Mirage, Valorant being Valorant, & OW2 existing; CS2 is poised to be the biggest FPS game on the market, if Valve can get the MM right.

Counter Strike 2 is shaping up to be a far more polished iteration with Valve attention to detail. It's also the most similar CS game ever to the previous version. This is exactly what CS needed, rounding of the edges without changing the core gameplay.
