One of the biggest shifts for me in CS2 is the sound. Footsteps and utility cues feel different and sometimes I question whether the audio positioning is fully reliable. Do you rely heavily on sound for your decision making? Have you found consistent ways to read enemy locations despite the new audio engine? What settings or adjustments helped you? I wonder if players consider sound more crucial now or less trustworthy than before.
CS2's sound engine makes me second-guess enemy positions a lot, especially in tight spaces. I started combining sound with map awareness more than relying on footsteps alone. Tweaking headphone settings and turning off unnecessary background sounds made a noticeable difference. Seeing how top teams handled it during the furia cs2 major (https://telegra.ph/FURIA-assegura-vaga-direta-na-Stage-3-do-CS2-StarLadder-Major-ap%C3%B3s-corte-do-VRS-10-07) really helped me understand how to read rotations and utility usage without depending solely on audio. For me, sound is still crucial, but now it's one part of a bigger picture rather than the only cue I trust.
