Community reacts to "The Armory" update

Criticism and praise have both been levelled in abundance at CS2's latest update.

Community reaction to "The Armory" update has been mixed

Valve have just dropped "The Armory" update for CS2, adding over 100 new cosmetic items, including gun charms, a new pass with which to collect many of those items, networking updates, and animation changes.

"The Armory" update adds pass with gun charms, 100+ items; animation and network fixes

As with any update to CS2 the reactions have come thick and fast, with the full range of emotion on display. There is criticism for what some see as a cash-grab update, praise for how the animation and networking changes have affected gameplay, and everything in between.

Overwhelmingly, the positive responses have been focused on the animation changes, but general praise for the game feeling better to play has cropped up here and there.

X user ren has added to the praise stating that feedback on inputs is a few frames faster in the latest update based on his testing.

With this update has come evidence that Valve are preparing for the return of the much-beloved Train. The map pool has come under fire in recent months, so with Cache in the works and Valve preparing for the return of Train, there is something for the community to get excited about on that front.

The update has not come off without a hitch. There are certain problems that have been highlighted repeatedly by the community, including a significant hit to the average FPS players are experiencing.

Of course, the update has also not come without criticism. Plenty of the community have commented on the focus seeming to be on cosmetics rather than gameplay.

And now, for some of the more humorous takes on the update.

Finally, let's find out what some of the mens))) had to say about the update. HLTV users seemed to trend towards the negative, but the reaction was still mixed.

Good article

All we wanted was some old maps back in the game, some net code tweaks, and maybe some anti-cheat. What did we get? Some fucking dangly wieners. Awesome. Thanks Valve.

The reality is this update shows more care, love and attention for skins, gamba and battle-passes than fixing the map pool, bugs and performance issues. that's the facts.

Even tho the animations/movement and the feed kill delay are a bit fixed, it took them 1 year to do something about it. Now with this shitty battlepass, we know that CS2 will always be the game Valve wouldn't care much and that's okay because people will always inject their money into it, no matter what. Good for you, the next TF2!

Im fine with the update, but heard some had reported potential fps drop, not sure if its dependent on how good your pc is or not, but if true, then valve needs to fix fps drop asap. …and add back Retakes’ mode already :)

The old animations actually look better and more realistic, but the new ones just give the feel that movement is more concise

Agree with WarOwl's take, I wasn't even asking for an operation or new maps/map rotation. I just want them to fix the blatant problems the game still has. The new animation is nice, but very lackluster update and they even managed to make fps worse, amazing.
