I've always found the spray pattern from 1.5/1.6 to be far easier than CSGO/CS2, but as kinda said earlier the control on the first 6-8 rounds is more consistent in CSGO/CS2 compared to 1.6, while 1.6 has a more consistent first shot accuracy and/or tap firing; but the overall shooting style has remained mostly the same between both games, the angles and holds are what are dramatically different. At different points in my life, I have spent countless hours spraying walls, and doing aim_map/workshop maps trying to "master" spray control lol.
Main things I realize people don't.. I guess respect? is that often times when someone is doing the whole one-tap thing, they're just styling on you.. but often it is more because of poor positioning which is why playing off angles is more or less the go-to position; constant adapting. It's not really the most optimal way to play when its equal skill to equal skill, which is also why something like CS is really hard to get into as a new player; information and things are just known. Other thing is people often think that the perfect spray is one shot ontop of another, when the reality is; its just a model-sized box that you want to consistently land in because it is 4-6 hits to kill a person through the body.
The economy game of cs2 is kinda fucked at the moment due to MR12, but the reality of things is; MP9 is actually the most OP gun in the game for a few years now.. no actual change just price adjustments, util sets, and playstyle changes. It's also a necessary evil to keep CT/T win ratios relatively even. One thing that CSGO/CS2 has done really well is allowing other guns, and the use of chess match-like utility flourish to the front.. so there is a ton more interplay, on top of the overall skill ceiling is much higher.. just 7 years ago, people didn't know some of the most basic of line ups.. now the basic line ups are just common knowledge. Ontop of respecting the concept that HE Grenades are incredibly strong on CT side; do around 12 damage to any player on the terrorist with a nade, and the a1s or a4 is a headshotting monster.
Depends on how and what you want to play, I wish community servers had a better headsup for the tools and such because they've been in a shitshow for the last few years.
Decent vid, but there are a ton of moments/highlights from pro matches where the mp9 just decimates people over the last 3-5 years.
