CS2 will not have bicycles at launch News

CO has confirmed on twitter that CS2 will not have bicycles at launch.

Personally this is a huge dissapointment as bicycles have become such a core feature of CS1 especially after the recent updates that made more roads with bike lanes available in the game.

No preordering for me then. I design my cities around cyclists.

Same here. I PURPOSEFULLY layout and build my cities with Bike infrastructure at the forefront.

I mean going with their current marketing "yours" schtick, bike friendly cities are my thing.

While CS2 is so exciting with all the changes in the trailer, not being able to build with bikes in mind makes the release just meh.

What little time I have to game, I don't feel like spending it uprooting a city further on when bikes are added to the game.

So sadly, it's a hard pass on pre-order. I'll wait and see.

I posted a week ago about the lack of lot fill in options - but that was not a buy the game at release breaker. This is.

FWIW, I'm not opposed to DLC's in any way and like them. It keeps funding on to keep a game alive.

What's crazy is I wonder how many pre-orders have been nixed by this. In fact, after the awful experience I had

with Elite Dangerous Odyssey a couple of years ago. (An alpha was released as a full game) I swore off of pre-orders forever

but the excitement around CS2 and my love of CS1 made me change my mind. Regardless, I'm sure they'll do well and reconsider this,

but till then, I'll keep on with my final CS1 city.
