As of launch day, CS2 is an insanely faithful Source 2 remake of the original CS:GO, with some missing content (Like Team Deathmatch and Danger Zone) and a better in-game UI better suited for PCs.
I'd actually rate this higher but the missing content makes it seem like this game's launch was a tiny bit rushed to meet that vague "Summer 2023" release Valve promised back in March. But from a technical perspective, it was flawless. The game has never looked more vibrant, and never felt more snappier and precise, aside from the odd lagspike here and there that i barely saw in the original CS:GO.
Hopefully this game can blossom and truly differentiate itself from CS:GO in the future down the road, because as of right now, this is just the Source 2 port people have been speculating about since the dawn of time.
And if you don't like CS2? Great! You can always go down to the game's betas and click "csgo_demo_viewer 1.38.7.9". Community servers for that game should still be active so it's not like you can't play it anymore.
Unless you're on Mac. Then there's no way to play CS:GO or CS2 which is... odd.
