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.

They’re gonna mess this up.

They need to launch CS2 as a more complete game, they can’t just withhold things we’ve grown used to having in our cities behind DLC.

They need to think of new exciting things for DLC and launch CS2 with many features we’ve already come to love, or I’m not buying it.

I mean they are already including day/night, ports, more road options, industries, what looks like modular buildings, more zoning. I'd say for the small amount we already know it looks a lot beefier than CS1 on release.

And then they go and leave out…. Bicycles?

Yeah I’m gonna hold off until I know A LOT more.

I enjoy your optimism though, I hope you’re right.

It is a bit odd but I'm willing to trust CO since CS1 was such an expansive game, mods obviously helped but devs get credit too for making the games core mechanics fun

It became a good game after you bought most of the DLC, let’s not sugar coat it, the base game is…. Meh.

My fear is that they’ll do the same thing over again, albeit with a better engine, just so they can sell us the same DLC over again.

I hope and pray I’m wrong.

I'm optimistic since we've seen a lot of the DLC stuff in the city that $2.20 built. Hopefully you're wrong too 😂

It should be closer to CS:1 currently in functionally, not CS:1 release. Then build new features off of that.

Let's be honest the modding community did the lion share of real development during the life of CS:1 anyway, that's why CO hired half of the most prolific modders.

New game should have everything the first game had as a starting point.
