It’s no secret that CS2 launched with half the features of its predecessor. And although Valve has made efforts to restore old features and bring in new ones, many fans are still longing for the “good old days.” Thus, a Reddit thread has cropped up praising CS:GO’s freedom of customization, and particularly, its many console commands.

These are namely the r_cleardecals and ViewmodelRecoil settings, alongside the instant left-right hand switching.
