Couldn't be less exited. Lack of improvements in all categories. Shit textures and graphics, missing dlcs of CS1, shit nodding support...aaaaand shit performance.
Why would I?!
I'm not saying your criticisms aren't valid, but CS:1 has 8.5 years of development and improvenent behind it, which you can keep playing if you think you will like that more than the release day state of the sequel.
The graphics are much less cartoony, the scale of items appear to be significantly improved, stuff that was tacked on like Industries in CS:1 will become one integrated system, modding support is coming and will also have partial console support. Performance sucks, but will improve over time and at least somewhat by console release date.
The road tools alone are enough for me.
Were we playing the same CS1?
It's hard to make a call on that until it's released, but what we've seen looks a lot better, including mod support for other PC storefronts and community-made assets planned for console. Plus, half the mods I'd need for CS1 are integrated, un-needed, or replaced in CS2. Some modders have access to the game already and are saying positive things.
Performance, though... yeah. I can't play this game yet.
I swear people downloaded graphic mods and forgot what vanilla cs1 looks like
