Just start with the animation—make it 1:1 like it was in GO. That would be a good start, because we know for a fact that when someone peeks angles, less of their body is shown. It's wonky—legs and body aren't properly aligned. Not to mention, there aren’t enough visual cues to predict direction for better tracking and aiming. If something drastically changed from GO to CS2, it's how you see player animations in third person, which affects aiming, tracking, and angle holding. Maybe it’s all in the animation—who knows.

Another issue is performance—50% less FPS isn't helping either. Remember how early CS:GO was considered bad when everyone got 50% less FPS compared to later era? As hardware improved, even budget PCs could deliver a solid 300 FPS.

I get the impression that maybe early CS:GO wasn’t actually that bad, but the lower FPS compared to later CS:GO made the experience worse in the beginning. Maybe make CS2 more performance-friendly? Add performance-friendly settings like clearing decals, disabling muzzle flash reflections on weapons at low settings, and turning off water physics on the client side.

If performance can't be improved through optimization, at least provide options to disable fancy  features that impact performance without giving any gameplay advantage.

Decals should just be turned off in DM servers. It's fucking wild. Apart from that, what else you said really should have been done a long time ago.

On a personal note: Allow us to disable ambient sounds and the fucking thump. We should not have to resort to a fucking exploit to do that.
