The world of Counter-Strike is constantly evolving. The move from CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) has come with its share of changes, causing hiccups for some veteran players. Specifically, challenges have arisen around the functionality of GOTV and the role of the cameraman when setting up LAN tournaments.
Summary
- Users are grappling with changes in spectating and camera functions.
- Specific commands are noted to be made redundant – ‘tv_cameraman’, ‘interactive caster’, and ‘lerpto’.
- There’s a need for alternatives, clarity about back-end changes, or potential reintroduction of old functions.
Decoding the Commands
With the good old days of ‘tv_cameraman’ and ‘-interactive caster’ seemingly gone, players are finding themselves in unfamiliar territory. The posted concerns about these missing functions in a comment offer a glimpse into the current sentiment: that there’s a hurdle to overcome in this new domain of CS2.
Speculate on ‘spec_lerpto’
Another hot topic is the ‘lerpto’ command, which users utilized for custom camera patches. The comment from ‘gaslipstick’ indicates that CS2 does not support the ‘spec_lerpto’ command, but ‘spec_goto’ commands can still be used. This highlights a possible workaround, albeit with limitations, as these commands only work when you’re on the server in a spectator slot.
Need for Clarity
Amidst these hurdles, the community seems eager for clear communication about back-end changes or potential alternatives to no-longer functioning commands. A little transparency might just be the magic balm to soothe the rumblings stirred by these draughty back-end winds that seem to have blown away some beloved functions.
In all the Points-of-View flying around faster than an AWP bullet, one thing is for sure, nostalgia for ‘tv_cameraman’ and ‘spec_lerpto’ is real! But as everyone knows, Counter-Strike is as much about dealing with changes and adapting your strategy as it is about well-timed headshots. So, here’s to hoping for a smoother adjustment to these changes, or maybe even a return of some old favorites. Because, after all, who doesn’t like a good comeback?
