The next topic is arguably the most controversial: the presence of cheaters. The post compares the current state of Valve's new title to other releases like Valorant and the prequel’s third-party matchmaking service FACEIT. The comparison states there is no concrete proof of cheating being more extensive in Counter-Strike 2. It further deems any outlying concerns as mostly white noise from a small percentage of players.

The third header cites the efficiency of the new sub-tick server system, hailing it as one of the most innovative routes taken in modern gaming to reduce server latency. The post further highlights that the mission game modes like Danger Zone are not a huge problem since it's only played by a small part of the community and potentially clutter the matchmaking servers.
