Counter-Terrorist

The balance between Terrorist (T) and Counter-Terrorist (CT) sides in Counter-Strike 2 is currently a topic of discussion, particularly following the removal of the T-favored map Anubis in favor of Overpass, which has shifted the balance towards the CT side. The latest beta build, version 1.41.1.3-rc1, introduces a change where defusing C4 now lowers the viewmodel weapon, prevents scoping, and delays firing by 150 milliseconds after exiting the defuse. This adjustment may significantly impact 1v1 defuse scenarios, requiring more strategic decision-making. Additionally, the difficulty of defusing with an AWP has increased, favoring T-side players. Valve has also optimized bullet penetration simulation to improve CPU usage and reduce frame drops during intense gunfights. Players are encouraged to optimize their CS2 settings and experiment with crosshair configurations to enhance their aim.
