Counter Strike New Revealed

After weeks of rumors Valve has finally revealed Counter Strike new. It's a major upgrade to CS:GO that will put it on the Source 2 engine.

It also introduces sub-tick server updates and responsive smoke grenades. It's made a lot of armchair gamers go crazy however, it appears to be an upgrade for the average player.

Smokes

Counter Strike New has a massive update that will alter the way smokes function in the game. The changes are being described as responsive smokes and will be a significant game changer. Smokes will expand to fill in areas and move around objects on the map. They will also react with the lighting in the games, making them look more real. Smokes will also interact with events in the game. This will open up new tactical possibilities. For instance, bullets can push smoke to briefly clear sightlines and hex grenade explosions will disperse smoke occlusion.

Smokes are now more dynamic in the game. Smokes in previous versions were a fixed shape and was limited in terms of how far they could go and how much vision it blocked. However, the new smokes will expand to cover the space they're in and will hinder the player's vision when they are within it. This is a significant improvement that will make the game more exciting and provide both teams with the same visibility.

Additionally smokes will also react to the surroundings weapons, lighting, and environment in the world. This makes smoke more realistic and allow players different ways to use it to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is particularly beneficial in the chaotic 5v5 games that are likely to occur on every map.

Smokes are no longer a one-way. This was a major issue in CSGO, as it allowed players to see the location of their opponents from behind the smoke. Twistzz is a well-known CS:GO professional, says the new system is a major improvement for players in competitive cs2 cases and makes it more fair for both teams.

Other minor changes include adjusting the vertical position of smoke particles in order to minimize the visibility of edges and updating the smoke overlay images to reflect their camera's position. The expiration time of smokes was updated to match the visuals on screen.

Loadouts

CS: GO players are now able to alter their weapon selection prior to the start of each match. The new loadout system lets players to choose weapons that fit their style of play and team's strategies. The updated system adds new depth to the game as players must find a balance between the power of their weapons and their utility.

In addition to the new loadouts in addition to the new loadouts, the CS: GO update includes many other enhancements and changes. Most importantly, the buy menu has been completely revamped. The old buy wheel has been replaced by a customizable grid which shows all the purchase options all at once. The grid is populated with five pistols and five "mid-tier" weapons such as submachine guns and shotguns, as well as five rifles and carbines.

The new system is simple to use and gives players greater control over their weapon selection. It will allow them to choose the weapons that suit their playstyle and team strategy the most, as well as experiment with different combinations. It will also enable them to test out their skills against other players' loadouts and see how they stack up.

Many players have praised the increased flexibility, while others have criticized it for deviating away from the fundamental premise of counter-strike cases. They also have raised concerns about how it could impact map-specific loadouts and skins of agents based on visibility.

Despite these criticisms, the new loadout system will be tested more thoroughly in the coming months. It is possible that certain issues could be addressed in future updates, so it is essential to keep an eye on the site for more information.

In addition to the brand new CS: GO features, the update also comes with Workshop Tools, which can be enabled through the game's settings menu and allow community contributors to design weapon finishes, stickers, and maps. Additionally, the update will now live ban players who break the VAC rules during games.

The latest CS GO update will be released in the coming summer. For now, players can browse the complete list of updates and features by visiting the official CS: GO website.

Sub-Tick Updates

The server updates the world of Counter-Strike in discrete intervals of time known as ticks. Valve is determined to ensure that CS: GO is responsive and smooth. The smallest delay can alter the accuracy of a shot. A new video shows one of the game's biggest under-the-hood enhancements, also known as sub-tick updates.

Instead of the 64-tick update that occurs every millisecond, the CS: GO will now be able utilize sub-ticks (or as Valve calls them, "micro-ticks") to communicate with the server. The client will keep track of each of these tiny increments and transmit them to the server. The server will send the updated game state back to players. The servers will now know the exact moment when you shot and jumped, swung and other inputs.

While a one-minute video is not enough to fully explain everything the video explains that every piece of data sent by the client is accompanied by a time stamp, and that the server will gather all information from all players in chronological order prior to sending it back. According to the video, a CS: GO will be capable of sending twice the data as a 64-tick CS: GO.

This means that even if the tick rate of the game is increased to 128 Hz, it can still handle your commands instantly. The micro-tick updates also reduce input lag by making sure that the server reacts to your actions without any delays or glitches.

It's evident that this is just the beginning of the technological improvements Valve is making to the game. The company employs particles and dynamic smoke to improve how smoke interacts with its surroundings. It's upgrading all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. All CS weapons and cosmetics will also be updated with Source 2 tools and features.

Maps

The next update for Counter Strike New brings new maps as well as some classics with facelifts. These updates are currently being tested as part of a limited test beta. The first set of maps include touchstone and upgrade maps that will not see major changes to gameplay, whereas others have been completely rebuilt or overhauled with the latest Source 2 tools.

Overpass is one of these maps that has been modified to take advantage the new engine's unified illumination system. The map's dark underground has been filled with daylight to make it more spacious and less crowded. Additionally, smoke grenades will now expand dynamically to fill spaces and interact with the new light.

Italy is a second map that has been revamped. Its texture, lighting and structure have all been greatly improved. The new version has a more balanced feel than its predecessor which was heavily CT oriented. In the future fans can anticipate seeing classics like Aztec and Militia updated.

While a lot of these maps remain available in other modes, they're not added to the map pool for competitive play. The exception is Train which was pulled out of Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't confirmed yet if the other maps that were removed will be returned to the pool.

Among the more controversial updates is one designed by Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's national newspaper. The newspaper has been active in its criticism of Russia's actions towards Ukraine. This map is based off of the war-ravaged Donetsk. The map is titled de_voyna and features a number of references to the war.

In the future the developer will soon be releasing a collection of Source 2 tools for community map creators to use in their own creations. This will include features such as improved lighting and character reading, as well a physically-based rendering system which creates realistic materials and textures. It will also allow for easier implementation of real-world objects like doors and windows. The update is set to launch sometime in the summer.
