Counter Strike New Revealed
Valve finally announced Counter Strike New after weeks of speculation. It's a major upgrade to CS:GO that will put it on the Source 2 engine.
It also comes with the ability to use smoke grenades that respond and sub-tick updates for servers. It's got a lot of gamers who are a bit naive but it appears to be a huge improvement for the average player.
Smokes
Counter Strike New is getting an update that will completely change the way smokes are used in the game. These changes, dubbed responsive smokes, are an important game changer. Smokes will expand to fill in areas and move around the map to move around objects. They will also respond to the lighting in the game, which makes them look better and more realistic. Smokes will also interact with events in the game. This will open up new opportunities for tactical play. Bullets, for instance, will push smoke in order to temporarily clear sightlines. Hex grenade blasts can also disperse smoke obstruction.
Smokes are now more dynamic in the game. Smokes from previous versions were a fixed-shaped object that had a limited ability to move and blocking. The new smokes will occupy the space where they are located and hinder a player's vision when they are in place. This is a major upgrade that will make the game more exciting and provide both sides with the same view.
Additionally, smokes will now react to the environment weapons,
Case Spectrum lighting, and environment in the world. This will make smoke more realistic and allow players to use it to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is particularly useful in the chaotic 5v5 games that are sure to happen 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 renowned CS:GO professional who says the new system makes CS2 more fair for both teams.
Other minor enhancements include changing the vertical position of smoke particles to decrease the impact of edges, and updating viewers' smoke overlay visuals so they are in line with their camera's position. The expiration of smokes was changed to match the visuals on screen.
Loadouts
Players of CS:GO can now alter their weapon choices prior to the start of each match. The revamped loadout system allows players to select the weapons that best fit their style of play and team's strategy. The new system also adds new tactical depth to the game, as players must balance firepower and utility.
In addition to the brand new loadouts, the CS: GO update includes many other improvements and changes. The buy menu was completely redesigned. The old buy wheel was replaced with an adjustable grid that displays all the purchase options at once. The grid has been filled with five pistols, five "mid-tier" weapons, such as submachine guns and shotguns, and five carbines and rifles.
The new system will be easy to use, and give players greater control over their
weapon choice. It will let them select the weapon that best suits their style of play and team tactics the best, aswell as experiment with different
combinations. It also allows them to test out their skills against other players' loadouts and find out how they stack up.
While many players appreciate the added flexibility, others have been critical of it for straying from the core essence of Counter-Strike. They also expressed concerns about how it could affect agents' skins and loadouts specific to the map dependent on visibility.
Despite these criticisms the new loadout method will be tested more extensively in the coming months. It is possible that some of these issues will be addressed in future updates, so it is important to keep an eye on the site for more information.
In addition to the new CS: GO features, the update also comes with Workshop Tools that can be turned on in the game's settings menu. These tools enable community contributors to design weapon finishes, stickers, and maps. Additionally, the update will now live ban players who break the VAC rules during matches.
The new CS: GO update is scheduled to release later this 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 constantly updated by the server in discrete increments of time called ticks. The tiniest delay between a tick's time and the mouse click of a player can have an impact on a shot's accuracy, so Valve is working hard to make sure that CS: GO feels responsive and case Horizon (
xs.Xylvip.com) smooth. A new video highlights the most significant improvements to the game, also known as sub tick updates.
Instead of a 64-tick update every millisecond,
Case Revolver CS:GO now uses sub-ticks, or as Valve calls them, "micro ticks",
Case revolver to communicate with servers. The client will record each of these tiny increments and transmit them to the server. The server will then transmit the updated game state back to players. The servers will know exactly when you shot, jumped, or peeked.
The video doesn't provide all the information. However it does clarify that each piece of data sent by the client has a date and time and that the server will collect all the information in chronological order from all players before sending it back. According to the video the CS: GO server will now be able to send more than twice the information as a 64-tick server.
This means that even the tick rate of the game is increased to 128 Hz it can still handle your commands immediately. It's not solely about increasing the tick rate, also, micro-tick updates can reduce latency and input lag by ensuring that the server responds to your actions without delays or glitches.
Valve's technical enhancements to the game are only beginning. Valve is using particles and smoke that are dynamic to improve the way smoke interacts with its surroundings. It's upgrading all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures, and models. All CS: GO cosmetics and weapons will 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. The updates are being tested in an unspecified beta. The first set includes upgrade and touchstone maps that won't see any major changes in gameplay, while other maps have been completely rebuilt or overhauled using the new Source 2 Tools.
Of these, Overpass was redesigned to take advantage of the new engine's unison lighting system. The underpass on the map's dark and eerie scene has been flooded with daylight which makes the area more spacious and less crowded. Smoke grenades have expanded dynamically in order to fill spaces, and interact with the light.
Italy is a second map that has been overhauled. Its texture, lighting and structure have been greatly improved. The new version is more balanced than the previous version, which was heavily CT focused. In the near 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 being added to the map pool for competitive play. The only exception is Train which has been removed from Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet confirmed if the other maps removed from the pool will be reintroduced.
Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. The newspaper's latest update has been deemed controversial. The newspaper has been active in its criticism of Russia's actions against Ukraine. This map is based on the conflict-ravaged Donetsk. It's titled de_voyna, and includes a variety of references to the conflict.
