Here are some suggestions for the game that I believe would greatly improve the player experience:
1. Add a reset system for private rooms
A room reset option, either through voting or controlled by the room creator, would be extremely useful for scrims, clan wars, and ranked matches.
2. Improve grenade physics
The current grenade physics are extremely difficult and feel very poor. A system more similar to Counter-Strike would be much better. The grenade physics in SO2 are actually quite good, even though its movement and overall gameplay are far inferior to FWD Assault. It would also be great to have the option to throw grenades using the fire button.
3. Optimize game performance on Android and iOS
This is especially important for Android devices. Even flagship smartphones struggle to run the game smoothly, suffering from FPS drops, freezes, stuttering, and performance issues. This should be a top priority.
4. Bring back the South America (SA) server as soon as possible
The South American community is extremely active and passionate about the game. Not having a server in our region is very discouraging, especially for veteran players who remember when there used to be a South American server.
5. Add new official maps
The introduction of the map editor brought us back to the 2017 era when the game was highly active and had many players. However, most community-made maps lack optimization, something that can only truly be handled by the developers. Additionally, many maps are direct recreations of CS maps. While that's great for players, it could potentially create copyright issues for the company in the future. Official maps created by the developers would solve this problem and provide fresh content.
6. Separate weapons between Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists
Like in Counter-Strike, each side should have access to different rifles. I assume the AK and FAL would belong to the Terrorists while the M4 would belong to the Counter-Terrorists. However, this could leave CTs at a disadvantage since the Terrorists would have the stronger rifles. To balance this, a new rifle could be introduced.
7. Weapon balance changes
- Reduce FAL damage.
- Increase magazine reserves for all rifles, providing 3 magazines of either 30 rounds or 20 rounds when using a suppressor.
- Reduce MP7 damage.
- Increase UZI and PP2000 damage.
- Reduce reload times for the FAL, AK, and M4.
- Increase M40 damage by around 15%, which would already make a significant difference.
8. Reduce knife range
The current knife range feels unbalanced and excessive.
9. Improve knife inspections
Knife inspection animations should be improved and made more similar to Counter-Strike. It would also be great if teammates could see your knife inspection animations in third-person view.
10. Bring back the banning system in casual rooms
This would help deal with disruptive players more effectively.
11. Improve the anti-cheat system
The anti-cheat needs significant improvements. Sometimes an update is released at 1:00 AM, and by 9:00 AM there are already new cheats available. This is a serious issue.
12. Open applications for new moderators
I would personally love the opportunity to contribute more to the game. Currently, I don't see any moderators actively present on the South American server on a regular basis.
13. Improve spectator mode
For tournaments and competitive events, the spectator mode is currently too limited and lacks important features.
That's all I can think of for now. It's a long list, but I genuinely believe these changes are achievable and would greatly improve the game for both casual and competitive players.
