“Never seen creativity like this”: Counter Strike 2 Meets TikTok in Gaming First That Looks Horrendous
A new way to play Counter Strike showcases just how creative modders can get with a game.
Mods on PC games have always found creative ways to add touches to their gameplay loop that other platforms have found hard to emulate. However, not all mods add functionality to a game and exist just to give it some visual flair – or even a graphical overhaul.
There are even mods that add entire blocks of content to games, some of which have gained a lot of acclaim from gamers and critics alike. But it seems that one specific mod for Counter Strike 2 adds a visual detail that many would find questionable.
A Free to Play Experience Like No Other
Counter Strike 2 was released in 2023 by Valve to commercial and critical acclaim. With a simple premise of two teams at opposing ends of the morality spectrum fighting for dominance over a map with varying objectives, the game has brought many hours of joy to its fans with its various modes and cool weapons.

While one would expect visual mods for the game to add new skins for characters, fresh looks for weapons, or perhaps more detailed maps, one mod in particular has caught the eye of several Counter Strike 2 players for the bizarre functionality it offers.
A Strange Addition to Counter Strike 2
As showcased in the post below, the mod in question removes the traditional crosshairs from the player interface in Counter Strike 2 and replaces them with videos from the popular social media platform TikTok.
It’s an addition to the game that has many players marveling at the modders’ creativity even as they question its actual utility to Counter Strike 2’s gameplay.
One response to the post showcases how crazy players find the new mod even as they agree to its novelty.
Other humorous responses to the post include one in which a player suggests an added level of challenge to the player showcasing the mod.
While commenting on four separate TikTok videos while playing an intense game of Counter Strike 2 sounds nigh impossible, another player seems to find the mod too distracting to handle.
Other players chose to chime in with suggestions on how to take things even further.
Another player found an unconventional method to enjoy this particular change to the game.
The mod received its fair share of compliments for its bold design choice.
It’s evident that Counter Strike 2 players keep finding new ways to enjoy the game, in a manner similar to a popular third-person shooter whose players have switched up their strategies while waiting for new content to drop.
It will be interesting to see what Counter Strike 2 players can come up with next, as the game continues to be one that keeps them coming back for more.
