Rebuilt the codebase from scratch because the previous codebase was 100% spaghetti.
Made sure the game feels as close to the CSGO experience as possible. The resident CS nerd Ropz said the movement is 1 to 1 with CSGO which is not a small feat.
Rebuilt the server architecture for better online experience
Changed how smokes work which has noticeably altered the meta
Redoing all the maps
Reworked the audio
Made sure all the skins can be transferred over and look somewhat decent.

I’d say fuck deadlines or management over lazy devs, sure, there are some, but most of the time it’s a deadline thing.
