Counter-Strike 2 Update: Hold Weapons in Opposite Hand Is a Game-Changer

Apr 29, 2024 9:04 AM

In the latest update, Counter-Strike 2 has introduced a feature that allows players to switch the hand in which they hold their weapons, a change that particularly benefits left-handed gamers. This update vastly improves the gameplay experience by providing better visual field and the option to switch weapon hands mid-round, enhancing tactical play. Counter-Strike 2 has seen mixed reactions since its release due to the discontinuation of its predecessor, CS:GO, and the removal of various content, leading to a division in player opinions.

Is Counter-Strike 2 available on Steam?

Yes, Counter-Strike 2 is available for purchase and download on Steam.

Background information on the game: Counter-Strike is a title synonymous with competitive first-person shooters and has been a staple in esports for many years. The series started as a mod for Valve's Half-Life and has grown immensely since its inception. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) was the most recent and popular iteration before the release of Counter-Strike 2. CS:GO was free-to-play and featured skins and other microtransactions as part of its economy. The transition to Counter-Strike 2 has been noteworthy due to the decision by Valve to phase out CS:GO, which has led to a mixed reception amongst the longstanding community.
