Oh, and the absolute BEST part was how they wouldn't confirm whether Arms Race was even going to be added back, in the new version. They just shut down the original CS:GO, without asking anyone's permission, and put the new version in, without major features that people had come to expect.

The more I think about it, the more I consider it to be the biggest L that Valve has ever taken.

At least they still have an archived version of csgo that you can still play community servers on. With overwatch 2 they just straight up made the original completely unplayable and inaccessible.

This is news to me. I am significantly less pissed about the whole thing, now.

Yeah it's in a public beta branch you can access from the steam properties.

That really does change my outlook. I didn't have, like, a group of friends who all played Arms Race together, or on custom maps, or whatever...but I always imagined the situation from the perspective of people who DID have their own little community going, and then had it ripped out from under them, only to then have to wait around for Valve to decide IF they were ever going to add Arms Race back into the game.

As long as there was a path for people to keep playing if they wanted, it's a very different discussion.

Arms race kinda sucked anyway imo, I hate when gun games require you to get multiple kills with a weapon to rank up, + gun game should be a ffa mode. At least community gun game servers are a thing, they don't fix the teams but they are a big upgrade
