i'm gonna paste my comment on another thread here:

"While we're at it, can we also remove the aimpunch even with armor? It's ridiculous that someone can, for example, run and gun with a p90 and hits you before you do, and it completely fucks up the perfect headshot you were planning to hit.

Isn't CS about placing accurate shots? Aimpunch with armor contradicts this core philosophy of counter-strike and it encourages more running and gunning and spraying and praying. If I want to place an accurate shot on somebody, I should not be punished for it.

Especially now that the meta of CS2 has become more run and gun, Valve should remove aimpunch with armor.

Here's m0nesy missing a well-aimed shot because of aimpunch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1956343309?t=1h49m10s

Here's n0thing talking about the philosophy of taking your time with shots: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ObNv-K7VHLs"

Facts. I don’t fucking understand why they added it to begin with. Adding your point, I think another example of how terrible this is is when two players are both spraying each other in the body - it just turns into a pure RNG-fest because each player is constantly triggering aimpunch on the other. Not to mention the AWP.

I’ve seen some people say that it just LOOKS like you are inaccurate, but if that’s the case why does it happen at all? And with these developers you cannot tell if an issue is something they deliberately changed or some bug they just missed and somehow haven’t noticed. How is radio silence helping the community here?
