My bad with HLA. But CS2 is a glorified engine update, and is not even near the features CSGO had. In the current state the game is a mess.
Sure they are working on it. All 3 three developers. Which is exactly my point. It's impossible to compare valve to the other studios, because valve isn't making games anymore. They just happen to own some eternal IPs where the fan base (myself included) eats their shit.
its a little more than an engine update, and you're forgetting that a game engine is like 80% of the game itself.
It also updates maps, and map textures, which is another like 10% of the game, and the rest would be like, actual gameplay, which CS players don't want to change, and uh, i believe they did.
Even when they did make games (portal) for example, they literally contracted a uni team that was making it for a project.
In another comment you say yourself they are not developing games. What's your point? You're just arguing to argue now.
CS 2 and is missing key features, a working anticheat included, and is not getting any meaningful content for months (the missing features included).
i did?
If you're talking about the comparison to a triple A game studio, yeah they aren't a triple A game studio, they aren't making a fucking witcher 4. This is like comparing fucking BMW to some guy who creates gokarts in his spare time because he thinks it's fun.
Regardless, an indie game team of about 3 people can produce a really good game. I'm surprised you seem to think valve isn't more than a small indie team managing more than one game.
Every game ever is missing a working anticheat. They're probably not doing large content releases because their busy working on the fucking anticheat :)
