The recent updates to Counter Strike 2, while welcome, might leave some veterans missing the old movement bob animation. Fear not, classic CS players! Here’s how to bring back the familiar bob using the in-game console.
How to Re-enable Old Movement Bob in Counter Strike 2
The key lies in accessing the in-game developer console. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Launch CS2 and navigate to the main menu.
- Click on the settings cog located in the top left corner.
- Select the “Game” tab from the options menu.
- Locate the option labeled “Enable Developer Console (~)” and change it to “Yes” using the dropdown menu.
- Save these settings and load into a match.
- Once in-game, press the tilde key (
~) located to the left of the “1” key on your keyboard. This opens the developer console. - In the console prompt, type the following command exactly:
cl_usenewbob false - Press Enter to execute the command.
Now, you should experience the classic movement bob animation in CS2! It’s recommended to try out both the new and old bob animations by playing with each setting for a while. This will help you decide which one feels more comfortable and suits your gameplay style.
Unfortunately, unlike CS:GO, CS2 doesn’t offer dedicated bob animation settings within the menus. This means you can’t completely remove bob or fine-tune it to your preference. However, the method outlined above allows you to switch back to the classic bob animation.
If Valve introduces customizable bob settings in the future, we’ll be sure to update this guide with the latest information. For now, this trusty command remains the key to unlocking the old-school bob experience in CS2.
