    Can someone explain what the promise of CS2 was? I only caught glimpses of it, but it seemed mostly the same except some parking simulation, streamlining stuff like power/water, and a dlc reset.

    What was the killer feature?

      CS1 never fully integrated expansion packs, so there were three different ways to zone the industry, and a long disorganized list of ad-hoc zoning policies. CS2 had a chance to start with more of this more coherently designed.

      Plus CS2 made road editing much more precise and flexible. You can add and remove lanes instead of having separate road types for 150 different lane configurations.

      More control over economy, better zoning, basically a lot of stuff mods did was baked into the game but it also looked like a lot of unnecessary stuff was added
