Counter Strike New Revealed
Valve finally revealed Counter Strike New after weeks of speculation. It's a major upgrade to CS:GO that will bring it onto the Source 2 engine.
It also comes with responsive smoke grenades and sub-tick updates for servers. It's made a lot of armchair gamers crazy, but it looks like an upgrade for the average player.
Smokes
Counter Strike New is getting an update that will completely alter the way smokes are used in the game. The changes are being described as responsive smokes and are a huge game changer. Smokes will expand to fill spaces 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 to interact with game events. This will create new opportunities for tactical play. Bullets, for instance, will push smoke to temporarily clear sightlines. Hex grenade blasts can also disperse smoke and occlusion.
Smokes will now be more dynamic in the game. In the past, smokes were a fixed shape and was limited in how far they could be pushed and how much vision they blocked. Smokes of the new design will fill the space they are placed and hinder a player's vision when they are there. This is a major upgrade that will make the game more dynamic and will give both sides the same level of visibility.
In addition to this smokes are now able to react to the environment weapons, lighting, and environment in the world. This makes the smoke appear more realistic and allow players to utilize it in various ways to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is particularly beneficial in the chaotic 5v5 games that are sure to happen on every map.
Smokes will also no longer be one-way, which was a significant issue in CSGO and allowed players to view their opponents' positions from behind the smoke. Twistzz is a well-known CS:GO pro, says that the new system is an enormous improvement for competitive CS2 and makes it fairer for both teams.
Other minor improvements include adjusting smoke particles vertically to decrease the visibility of edges, and updating spectators smoke overlay visuals so that they correspond to their camera's location. The expiration of smokes was adjusted to match the visuals displayed on screen.
Loadouts
The players of CS:GO are able to modify their weapon selection prior to the start of each match. The new loadout system allows players to choose the weapon that best match their playstyle and team strategy. The new system also brings new tactical depth to the game, as players must balance firepower and utility.
The CS: GO Update includes a number other enhancements and changes in addition to the new loadouts. counter-strike cases , the buy menu has been completely revamped. The old buy wheel was replaced by a customizable grid which shows all purchase options simultaneously. The grid is populated with five pistols as well as five "mid-tier" weapons such as shotguns and submachine guns, and five carbines and rifles.
The new system is easy to use, and give players greater control over their weapon choice. It will let them choose the weapons that best fit their style of play, team strategy and experiment with different combinations. It will also enable them to test out their skills against other players' loadouts and see how they stack up.
While many players are pleased with the flexibility it offers, some have been critical of it for straying from the essence of Counter-Strike. They also expressed concern over the impact it will have on the loadouts for specific maps and agents' skins dependent on visibility.
However, despite these criticisms However, it is important to remember that the new loadout system is still in its early stages and will undergo more extensive testing over the next few months. Certain of these issues may be addressed in future updates. It is important to keep up-to-date for more information.
Workshop Tools are included in the update, and can be turned on from the settings menu. This allows community members to create weapons finishes and stickers, as also maps. The update will also the players who are in violation of VAC rules during matches.
The latest CS GO update is scheduled to be released in the coming summer. For now, players can check out the full list of features and updates by visiting the official CS: GO website.
Sub-Tick Updates
The world of Counter-Strike is updated by the server in discrete time increments called ticks. The tiniest delay between a tick's time and the mouse click of a player could have an impact on a shot's accuracy, so Valve is working hard to make sure that CS: GO feels fluid and responsive. A new video shows the most significant improvements to the game, also known as sub tick updates.
Instead of the 64-tick update that occurs every millisecond, CS Go will now be able to utilize sub-ticks (or as Valve calls them, "micro-ticks") to communicate with the server. Each of these small increments of time will be recorded by the client and transmitted to the server, which will then return the updated game state to players. The servers will now know the exact moment that you shot your shot or jumped, peeked or made other inputs.
Although a minute-long video may not enough to explain everything the video explains every piece of data sent by the client is accompanied by a time stamp, and that the server will collect all the information from all players in chronological order before sending it back. According to the video, a CS: GO server will now be able to send more than twice the information as a 64-tick server.
That means that if the game's tick speed increases to 128 Hz, it will still be able to process your commands instantly and consistently. It's not just about increasing the tick rate also, micro-tick updates can reduce latency and input lag by ensuring that the server will respond to your actions without delays or glitches.
Valve's technical improvements to the game are just the beginning. Valve is using dynamic smoke and particles to improve the way smoke interacts with its surroundings. It's also upgrading all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. Source 2 tools and features will be used to upgrade all CS: GO cosmetics and weapons.
Maps
The next update for Counter Strike New brings new maps and a few classics that have been updated with facelifts. These updates are currently being tested in a limited-test beta. The first set includes an upgrade and touchstone map that won't see any significant changes to gameplay, while other maps have been renovated or redesigned using the brand new Source 2 Tools.
Among these, Overpass has been revamped to take advantage of the engine's new unified lighting system. The underpass of the map has been flooded with daylight and makes the area 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 reworked. Its lighting, texture, and structure have been greatly improved. The new version has a more balanced feel as opposed to its predecessor, which was heavily CT focused. In the near future fans can anticipate seeing classics like Aztec and Militia updated.
These maps won't be added to the competitive map pool despite the fact that they are still playable. Train is the exception, as it has been removed from Active Duty but will still be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet decided if the other maps removed from the pool will be added back.
Among the more controversial updates is one created by Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's national newspaper. The newspaper has been a vocal critic of Russia's actions in Ukraine, and the map takes inspiration from the city devastated by war, Donetsk. The map is called de_voyna, and contains a range of references to the war.
The developer will release a collection of Source 2 Tools for map makers in the near future. This will include features such as improved lighting and reading of characters, as well as a physically-based rendering system which produces realistic materials and textures. It will also allow for easier implementation of real-world objects, like doors and windows. The update will be released sometime in the summer.
