Ten years later Counter-Strike continues to annoy players with one odd scoring decision

Counter-Strike 2 is not even out yet, but the streams and broadcasts of the beta access period have already offered fans many opportunities to get a glimpse of what is to come for the long-running first-person shooter franchise. For a series with such a storied history, certain elements, good or bad alike, have persisted for decades, and the game’s vibrant Reddit community has recently found out that a persistently annoying tidbit may very well stick around into the new game.

A Reddit thread created by user /u/ImThour showed off a screenshot displaying a well-known phenomenon where the MVP reward for the round win goes to the bomb defuser on the CT side instead of the player who got the majority of kills – four, in this particular scenario. With the screenshot taken from CS2’s beta, it seems like this contentious scoring method will stick around in the newest iteration of the franchise.
