Counter-Strike 2 is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023, but one mode is already causing a lot of frustration among players during the test phase.
What mode is it? Deathmatch mode is part of the daily in-game routine for many “Counter-Strike” players. In it, players have numerous consecutive gunfights that are not disturbed by long respawn timers or the defusing of a bomb.
Players start a deathmatch round, conduct one shootout after another and warm up in a completely uncomplicated way – without the threat of losing Elo. This is exactly what Deathmatch mode has been valued for years. It is an integral part of CS:GO and will also have its deserved place in CS2.

Players criticize spawns
Why does the mode drive players crazy? Some players are criticizing on Reddit that the spawns in the CS2 final match are “really bad”.
One Reddit user writes: “It [CS2 Deathmatch] constantly spawns with enemies behind you or in 1v2 or even 1v3 situations. You almost never spawn without an enemy just out of sight in the first second.”
In the comments, the player receives approval from other users: “Every time I spawn, an enemy is ready to kill me and I die instantly unless I abuse the spawn protection and look around.”
Another user lists what bothers him: “Bad spawns, spawn protection (which is far too long), no ammunition after a kill, no health/armor gain after a kill, far too long waiting time between spawns.”
What is the current status of CS2? Valve is still working hard on the release of Counter-Strike 2, which was planned for summer 2023.
In the meantime, significantly more players have had access to the preliminary test and were able to spend a few hours in the CS:GO successor. In addition to the deathmatch mode, this also received other maps such as Mirage, Vertigo and Inferno.
