Standoff 2 17+

Great game but has some flaws.

I started playing standoff 2 around the beginning of June and since then, I've been playing it non-stop. I've gotten better over the months but sometimes the game irritates me. First off, the ping difference. I get that there are people around the world who play this game and aren't from America, but why would they be placed in U.S. servers? Sometimes whenever I'm in a casual game, I usually always die from a person with 250+ ping. It also makes it impossible to react in time since they have the power to just spawn out of no where. It would also be really great if I had teammates who speak the same language as me too. I'm always stuck with people who either speak Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. My region is set to the closest region (which is obviously Western USA) and yet always teamed up with people that speak a different language than me. Yeah, I get some teammates who speak English but it's just overall frustrating trying to tell your teammate to plant the bomb while they don't know what they're saying. Overall, a solid 8/10 game. (Suggestion: Try adding quick chat. Users can press a button with a wheel of pre-written texts that appear on the chat bubble. This'll possibly help a lot of people with teamwork and communicating)

Fun Sometimes

Honestly I like the game and the gunplay is satisfying and rewarding to get good at but the game has very obvious problems. Every game you get into there is going to be an insanely good player who always uses the ak/M4 and rarely the awm. It doesn’t matter the game mode or the map. I often find myself get into the supposedly casual tdm game mode and then quickly have my fun ruined because a group of ak pub stompers is spawn trapping. Spawn trapping is far to easy to do and don’t even get me started on arcade mode spawns(I’ve literally spawned in the same spot as an enemy at the same time). Defuse mode is fun but it gets stressful especially when you lose the first round because anything that isn’t an assault rifle is basically useless unless you get the drop on the enemy. Smgs are so useless in fact I am so used to not using them so I put a shot into someone’s head and then turn away thinking the fight is over just to be punished and see that I only dealt 80 damage. Another reason smgs are unreliable is because I often find myself shooting at some one a decent distance away and I put 6 shots into them just for them to get a lucky headshot with an ak/M4 and after all those shots I dealt 60 damage while they dealt 119. In the end the game is fun but the balancing isn’t the greatest and it basically cuts the content in half because you can’t have fun using other weapons because they’re out classed.

Fun game

Ever since Critical Ops screwed up their game this has been the better game. One thing I really enjoy is the trade system and how you don’t have to sell an organ to buy 1 good skin. I can’t ignore that the balance of some guns are pretty bad like how all the ARs that can ADS have zero recoil, great ttk, and short reload time but almost every other gun is just worse overall. Even the deagle which is a pistol has a longer reload than these guns. The LMG is def annoying aswell. All of the ADS weapons need some nerfs except for snipers. Deagle needs a reload speed buff. I do have a lot of fun playing this game but for some reason I can’t seem to find any servers with people who speak English. Everyone speaks Russian or Spanish even tho I’m choosing US servers. Do they actually work or no? These are the only things holding it back from 5 stars for me. COD guns in a CS clone and language barriers. Other than these thing right here the game is very fun with very little lag unlike critical ops where it’s just lag simulator. Thanks for the game

Hello!

Thank you for the detailed feedback! We'll consider everything you mentioned on guns, recoil, reload and balance.
As for the servers, we suggest you to connect to the one which is the closest to your location. It'll give a stable connection work, and most likely English-speaking teammates :)

Have a good game!
