Resemblance to the Valorant weapon grill draws attention
CS2’s purchase screen, allowing players to exchange items they purchased before the purchase phase ends. Because the weapon menu of CS 2 is similar to the weapon grid of Valorant. Additionally, with CS2, Valve will allow players to choose 4 pistols, 5 “intermediate” weapons (SMGs/shotguns) and 5 rifles to create a personal purchase menu.
More limited than the CS:GO purchase screen
A total of 15 weapons (including starter pistols) will be available to you during the match. So you will have to leave behind 2-3 weapons in each category. Purchases will technically be more limited than CS:GO’s current purchase screen. But it will also allow you to use weapon combinations that were previously impossible. For example, instead of having to choose between a silenced M4A1-S or an M4A4, you can now buy both in the same match.
Counter Strike 2 is currently in Beta and already offers some users the opportunity to play. Although the exact release date of the game is not specified, the leaks point to July.
