I put nearly 250 hours of my life into CSGO, and almost none of that was standard game modes. CS2 launched not as a sequel -- the way *every CS game on Steam* did before -- but as an update, nay, a replacement for CSGO. That replacement had big shoes to fill, and it doesn't cut the mustard. The new lighting is distracting, my top-shelf hardware can hardly run the game at 60 FPS, and (new paragraph to emphasize):

They removed almost all the good game modes! No Arms Race, no Retakes, no Wingman! I never played Demolition but that's gone too.
Come back when this game is actually done; when it looks and performs well with all the old modes included. Right now, Counter-Strike """2""" is a beta with a fancy name that erased its own history.
