On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GlobalOffensive\/comments\/1tn9puf\/retakes_need_serious_improvements\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\">Reddit<\/a>, players are complaining about the slow pacing, poor side balance, and the lack of features that community retake servers perfected years ago in CS:GO. Many users believe Valve created a slower and worse version of something the community already solved long ago.<\/p>\n<h3>Community Wants Retakes to Become Much Faster<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest complaint focuses on the pacing of the mode. The author of the popular discussion argues that rounds take too long to end and include too much unnecessary downtime. According to him, the next round should begin almost instantly, while the bomb should already be planted immediately after the round starts. The whole purpose of Retakes is practicing post-plant situations.<\/p>\n<p>Players also criticized the full defuse animation after clutch situations. Many users believe the game should instantly finish the defuse if the CT side has clearly won the round and there is enough time remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Many comments directly state that Valve simply needs to copy what community servers have been doing for years:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>In other words, do it exactly like the community maps have been doing for years.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/faze-legacy-invited-xse-pro-league-2026\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/55241089386_fae2760720_k.jpg.webp\" alt=\"FaZe and Legacy Receive First Invites to XSE Pro League 2026\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/faze-legacy-invited-xse-pro-league-2026\">FaZe and Legacy Receive First Invites to XSE Pro League 2026<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/faze-legacy-invited-xse-pro-league-2026\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1779703590#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">May 26<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Team Balance Became One of the Biggest Problems<\/h3>\n<p>Another major issue is the side system itself.
