I'm blaming it being the weekend as an excuse to game a little more lately, good timing with the launch of CS2 I suppose.
Been playing some other maps today and it's been quite fun, not sure what exactly it is with the game or if it's cause I'm currently playing from Asia so the ping might be a bit weird at times, at least the difference from player to player. Can't really put a finger on what else is different aside from the obvious graphical changes. I'm sure it must be something with the new system they have enabled for how the server and client read data, but something still feels different.
Nonetheless it's been going quite okay so far, will be interesting to see what rating I'll land on when the 10 first wins are finished. That may take a while, though, it seems like they've split up ratings between maps as well so you are going to need 10 wins for each map before you get your dedicated rating of that map, with the Premier mode being its own section on top of it all. Interesting.
This will require a lot more wins, I mean there's like 8 maps so 80 wins at least for each map before you get all ratings for each and every map and then Premier as well. I might stick to mostly playing Premier from now on and just try to learn the few maps I really haven't played much and almost always get banned (Ancient, Anubis, Nuke, Overpass)
For today we did a double Dust:
The game sound is toned down here so you should be able to hear me better, but recording with geforce experience doesn't allow the noise cancellation to work so you'll unfortunately hear my fat fingers slam the keyboard as well.
Then I played 2 Vertigo's after, here's the recording of the first one that went pretty well from my side:
to my surprise, playing the second one I decided not to record because we had one player disconnect in the warmup and never rejoin so we had to play 4 vs 5. Since it already felt like another "lost cause" like the one from yesterday on Inferno I decided not to record it but lo and behold I should have because it ended up being a lot more close than I expected, here's a couple of the last rounds when I remembered to record. Quite a match. :D
Anyway, thanks for watching.
I'll try and sneak in some regular posts here soon-ish as I'm quite excited about some things I've been working on for the past few months with some other amazing Hive users! Stay tuned!

It sounds like you're having an exciting CS2 experience. When the gaming world is constantly evolving, it's fascinating how updates and changes can affect the overall experiences.
Your gameplay videos was enjoyable to watch and I liked the way your character died each time, haha joking. Looking forward to your regular posts and hearing more about your gaming adventures. Best of luck with your CS2 journey.
Cheers!
I was actully just exploring around for something to play this weekend to just relax and chill a bit for once. Ran into the relaunch of CS2 which sounds epic! So far very good reviews on it and it's a classic as to one of the first FPS I really got into.
Look forward to hear about what you've been working on with others for Hive! I see hive just on the start of building and creating some awesome stuff and really taking off in the new year.
Reading your post earlier I think you might be interested in it! :)
I enjoy finding a small excuse to unwind and play some games over the weekend as well. Unfortunately, I still have a significant workload to finish, thanks to looming deadlines 😖
The only respite I can manage at the moment is when I log onto PeakD and browse through posts shared by others to feel a bit more rejuvenated. Looking at your CS posts make me feel like heading over to the PC Cafe to get some action as well! 😅
I watched your video on the Dust 2 map. This map is my favorite and many Turkish people's favorite, I don't know why but I love playing there. The game definitely looks better than CS but there are many things that need to be improved, for example using the weapon with the left hand :P I wonder how many FPS my laptop will get.
Whats your rank? Always looking for someone to play with 😇
None yet :D if you're in asia then sure!
Sadly from europe 🫠 but I don’t mind higher pings 😀
😅
Since I saw the release of CS2 I've been eager to play it, but I'm afraid to download it and let myself be dominated by panic and not play it. I know I'll feel panic because I'm not very good at playing shooters and I might get made fun of for this haha. I once got bullied on Roblox for not knowing how to play a shooter "well", I honestly didn't mind the fact that they said negative things about how I play because I personally think I play decent, at least I get a few kills.
I think I'll practice my aim a bit more and then try CS2. Nice video screenshots by the way.
Managed to get access on this a while ago so being officially launched for everyone wasn't a surprise for me but I still look forward to get back playing cs2 as I had a week break from it with my trip in Prague. But it's still early to have an opinion as there are plenty of things that need improvements 😁
My only complain is this took a while to be officially launched. I played it for a bit and id say im really struggling hehe. I was pretty decent back in cs go. It is maybe because ive been playing too much, Or the skill levels of the people now have significantly increased.
Wow, you really achieved your goal hahaha. I have years without playing Counter Strike, life has really changed, but I used to spend hours in front of the PC. What a laugh about the fat fingers, I think if you don't mention it no one would notice. Happy weekend boss! 🎮
Wow, winning a 4v5 is really insane. The scores weren't that close in the end, so you guys really stomped them. That guy dropping 30 kills must have been really good.
wow very happy to see you posting about Cs2 after I had posted some CsGo games. I recorded some Cs2 today, by chance, hahaha! Very cool, I'll post it soon! Amazing to see how well you play! thanks for sharing fren!
No doubt this saga never goes out of fashion, in fact it is something really interesting to see what was its evolution today, certainly a great game, thanks for sharing Greetings!
Have you played Preimer yet? :D
yea tried a couple games there too
Wow está increíble el juego. Lo descargaré a ver que tal. Saludos!
This is a very interesting game mode, is this a play to earn game?? It sure will be fun if its a play2earn.
Kind of but not really, you can earn some loot boxes and skins that you can sell but you can't really withdraw the value, only spend it on Steam for other products.
Ohhh thats sad to know.. but pretty fun to play
