Counter-Strike 2’s Content Proves to be Controversial
Valve surprised players by releasing Counter-Strike 2 as an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Wednesday after a long beta period.

However, the original Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was completely replaced by Counter-Strike 2 (aside from being playable as an offline “demo”), which seems to be missing quite a few beloved features from the original game.
Players have taken to Reddit and Twitter to share their concerns about the game’s current state. Players have noted several missing features in Counter-Strike 2, including several competitive and Wingman maps, workshop maps, and entire game modes like Arms Race, Flying Scoutsman, and Danger Zone.
