This is Counter-Strike, too.

Like the tongue in cheek name of the only achievement in the game implies, this is Counter-Strike. Don't ask for any more out of this game, because there isn't anything else. Plant bombs, rescue hostages, scream at your teammates.

A lot of content was removed that was previously in CSGO and has still not returned, but to me that does not detract from how much fun I still have with this game today. It says a lot about a game (or me) when you can change nothing and still keep me happy.

Sure, I would love to have seen more put out at launch, but this is Valve we're talking about. They have been drip feeding us content for 12 years and I don't think anything is going to change anytime soon.

I would love to see Reserve maps return to the rotation, if only in Casual. As bad as they are as competitive maps they still hold value when it comes to messing around with friends for a few hours.

It's still Counter-Strike though, and that's all I really want at the end of the day.
