The Major Shake-Up: How Counter-Strike 2’s Economy Changes Are Redefining Professional Play

by

Recent updates to Counter-Strike 2 have sparked debate, mainly due to Valve lowering the maximum loss bonus from $3,400 to $3,100 and also reducing the price of some weapons. While it seems like these changes might cancel each other out, the actual effect is quite different. Players are now often required to save their money more often, making the game’s economy harsher. A poorly timed attempt to buy weapons with limited funds can now lead to three rounds of being unable to afford equipment, instead of the previous two.

by

It’s understandable why she feels that way. The trailer for Supergirl shows us she witnessed the complete destruction of her home planet, Krypton, losing everything she knew. That kind of trauma would be enough to make anyone cope with hardship, even someone with superpowers. Ultimately, as Kara states in the trailer, she’s different from her cousin, Superman.
