Valve Changed Movement Animation in CS2

Valve has updated the movement animation in Counter-Strike 2, affecting how micro-strafing feels during gameplay.

Players are reporting that the changes to the animation system have altered the sensation and feedback of small directional adjustments, commonly known as micro-strafing. This technique is frequently used by experienced players for precise movement control and peeking.

The update may require players to readjust their movement timing and muscle memory to adapt to the new animation behavior.
