Gooseman comments on CS2's subtick: "I don't know why they're so adamant in keeping it"

Minh "Gooseman" Le, one of the co-creators of the original Counter-Strike game, has shared some of his opinions about CS2 in a recent interview with the content creator Thour.

For instance, he's unsure why Valve keeps the subtick feature instead of reverting to CS:GO's old system.

I know subtick is a really controversial feature that Valve are implementing, and I don't know the exact reasons why they're so adamant in keeping it.

Most casual players don't really notice the difference between CS:GO's tickrate and CS2. At least, that's what I feel when I talk to my casual friends who play CS2. I am hopeful that Valve will come up with an ideal solution, as I am sure they're well aware of the complaints about it, as I know for certain they speak to a lot of people in the community.

In addition to this, Gooseman also commented on the rumor that CS2 will add pets in the future.

Turns out that he's not a big fan of the idea of pets possibly following the players, and joked that he'd pull out a pitchfork and pay a visit to Valve.

I've accepted the skins and trinkets [charms] that get hung on the weapons. It was never my initial intention for CS to have colorful skins, but over the years, I've come to accept the fact that there are weapon skins. I even think many of them look really cool.

I think pets would be ok, as long as they're hung on the gun, but if they decide to add actual pets in the game, like a cat that follows you around like in World of Warcraft, then I'll have to brush off my pitchfork and make my way down to Valve's office.

Gooseman has been away from Counter-Strike's development since he left Valve in 2006, but still, many fans appreciate his input.

We published an in-depth interview with him earlier this year, in which we discussed the first years of CS, his opinions on CS2, and his new game Alpha Response.

The second anniversary of CS2 is later this month, and as of recently, we've had big pros like Robin "ropz" Kool and Nikola "NiKo" Kovač criticize the game.
