CS2 Prepares for the Blast Fall Final 2023 With Three Major Updates Rolled Out

CS2, a failed sequel or a victim of sky-high expectations? Well, what went wrong with the highly anticipated sequel in terms of its reception is a never-ending debate. However, the developers have left no stone unturned to match up to the actual potential of the long-awaited project. Apparently, in just the last few days, the title has been subjected to 3 patch notes, including some big improvements in the game. But is it too late for CS2 already or is there still hope for Valve to hop on the pedestal? 

Ever since Valve launched the follow-up project to unarguably one of the biggest FPS creations Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, fans have been discussing whether the schedule was rushed. Although gaming fans had to wait for over a decade to experience the sequel, the CS2 launch still felt like an undercooked product for a lot of fans. Of course, Valve had some big shoes to fill in. However, it seems like the developers are ready to redeem the CS: GO legacy, as CS2 tends to be improving with every update. Here’s what has happened in the last few days. 

CS2 is getting better with constant updates, aiming at the long run! 

Valve has now released patch notes for CS2 on 17, 16, 13, and 9 November, respectively. These updates have mostly focused on the bugs that were commonly reported by the Counter-Strike veterans. Moreover, there have been some interesting adjustments made to the innovations introduced in CS2.

The latest patch notes that arrived on November 17, 2023, are: 

• Fixed a few minor sub-tick input bugs
• Fixed a bug with first-person animation in the bot takeover
• Fixed a bug where dropped/thrown weapons had too much velocity
• Fixed a case where players could push their view through low ceilings
• Fixed an exploit that would allow players to teleport

The previous updates similar to the recent one have focused on improving the action experience and the sub-tick system improvement, which has been the highlight of CS2’s short campaign. 

Blast Fall Final is the reason behind the big updates?
