## Description

Counter-Strike 2’s release has felt… kinda bad, for many reasons.

But among all of CS2’s issues, compared to CS:GO, the AWP in particular just feels off.  In fact, it's been so bad that even the best player in the world has considered a role swap.

But is the iconic sniper rifle actually worse in CS2 -- or is there something going on behind the scenes that’s affecting the game’s gunplay as a whole?
