They could peek around corners with a speed that is not unlike the SSG’s, so they often took those duels. This weapon allowed them to take aggressive peeks and even play close distances. Sniper players like KennyS, Jesper “JW” Wecksell, or Ladislav “GuardiaN” Kovács were the absolute play makers. In the early years (and particularly in 2014), the AWP dominated Counter-Strike. In order to understand this, we have to go way back.
These changes made pro players like Kenny “KennyS” Schrub cry out loud. The AWP, arguably Counter-Strike’s most impactful weapon to that point, was completely reworked and the scoped movement speed was drastically reduced. In March of 2015, Valve released an update that turned the CS:GO scene on its head. The perhaps biggest change in the early years was the AWP nerf. While these changes pertained to the ‘meta aspects’ of the game, there were some very specific alterations to the way in which players interact with it. Recently, the money system has been changed up to grant bonuses to teams that have lost multiple rounds in a row. They didn’t just rework the visuals and the sound of the game, but they also massively altered the gameplay itself. Is that really just because we’re not used to it anymore?īut naturally, Valve have delivered much more substantial updates over the course of the game’s lifespan. But taking a look at old VODs from tournaments like ESL One Cologne 2015, the sound comes across as quite dated. In 2017, Valve introduced new sounds for almost all weapons, which initially garnered some negative feedback from the community. The maps have been reworked, and with the introduction of skins, players have gotten the opportunity to customize their weapons visually. Naturally, the game hasn’t maintained the same look and feel for all this time. CS:GO is still one of the most popular games of all time and a cornerstone of shooter history. What started on August 21, 2012, has been a mainstay in esports for almost then years now. We take a look at the history of this game and draw out all the weapons that have changed CS:GO forever. Counter-Strike has now existed for over two decades, but its newest release, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is nearing its tenth anniversary as well.
