Counter Strike New Revealed
Valve finally revealed Counter Strike New after weeks of rumors. It's an update for CS:GO that will put the game on the Source 2 engine and make some significant visual changes.
It also brings sub-tick server update 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 major update that will alter the way smokes work in the game. The changes, which are dubbed responsive smokes, are an important game changer. Smokes will expand to fill in areas and move across the map in a variety of ways. They will also respond to the lighting of the game, which will make them appear more attractive and realistic. Smokes will also be able interact with events in the game. This will open up new opportunities for tactical play. For instance, bullets can cause smoke to temporarily clear sightlines and Hex grenade explosions will disperse smoke occlusion.
Smokes will be more dynamic in the game. Smokes in earlier versions were fixed-shaped objects with a limited range of movement and vision blocking. The new smokes will now grow to fill the space they are within and block more of the player's vision when they are in the area. This is a significant change that will make the game more dynamic and will give both teams the same visibility.
In addition, smokes will now react to the environment, weaponry, and lighting in the world. This makes the smoke appear more real and allow players to utilize it in various ways to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is especially useful during the chaotic 5v5 battles that are sure to happen on every map.
Smokes are no longer a
one-way. This was a major problem in CSGO as it allowed players to see the location of their opponent behind the smoke. Twistzz is a popular CS:GO professional who claims that the new system will make CS2 more fair for both teams.
Other minor enhancements include moving smoke particles vertically to minimize the impact of edges, and updating the spectator's smoke overlays to ensure they are in line with their camera position. The expiration time of smokes has been revised to be more in accordance with the visuals of how they fade onto the screen.
Loadouts
The players of CS:GO are able to customize their weapon choice before the start of every game. The new loadout system lets players to select weapons that match their playstyles and team's strategy. The new system also brings new tactical depth to the game because players must balance power and utility.
The CS: GO Update includes several additional improvements and modifications in addition to the brand new loadouts. Most importantly, the buy menu has been completely revamped. The old buy wheel has been replaced by a grid that can be customized to show all the purchase options at once. The grid is populated with five pistols, as well as five "mid-tier weapons" such as submachine guns, shotguns and rifles.
The new system is simple to use and will give players more control over their weapon choices. It will allow them to choose the weapons that suit their style of play and team tactics the best, as well being able to experiment with different combinations. They can also compare their gear to other players and see how well they stack up.
While many players are pleased with the additional flexibility, others have been critical of it for straying from the essence of Counter-Strike. There have been concerns over how it will affect the specific loadouts for maps and skins of agents dependent on visibility.
Despite these concerns However, it is important to keep in mind that the new loadout system is still in its early stages and will undergo more thorough testing over the next few months. Certain of these issues may be addressed in future updates. It is essential to stay informed for more details.
In addition to the new CS: GO features, the new update also includes Workshop Tools, which can be enabled through the game's settings menu and allow community contributors to create weapons' finishes, stickers and
Case shadow maps. The update will also live ban players who violate VAC guidelines in matches.
The latest CS GO update will be released in the middle of summer. Players can check out the full list of features and updates 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 could impact the accuracy of an attack. A new video reveals one of the game's most significant improvements under the hood, referred to as sub-tick updates.
Instead of a 64-tick-update each millisecond, CSGO is now able to use sub-ticks or, as Valve calls them, "micro ticks", to communicate with the servers. Each of these tiny intervals of time will be recorded by the client and transmitted to the server, which will then send back the updated game state to players. The servers will now know exactly moment you fired your shot or jumped, peeked and other inputs.
While a minute-long video is not enough to fully explain everything the video explains that each piece of information sent by a client has an associated timestamp, and
Case Shadow that the server will gather all data from all players in chronological order before sending it back. According to the video the CS: GO server will be able to send up to twice as much data as a 64-tick servers.
This means that even when the tick rate of the game is increased to 128 Hz it will still be able to handle your commands immediately. The micro-tick updates also reduce input lag, making sure that the server responds to your actions without any delays or glitches.
Valve's technological improvements to the game are just beginning. The company is using dynamic smoke and
particles to enhance the way smoke interacts with its environment. It's also updating all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. All CS: GO cosmetics and weapons will get a facelift with Source
prisma 2 case tools and features.
Maps
The next update for Counter Strike New brings new maps and a few classics that have been updated with facelifts. The updates are being tested in limited beta. The first set includes an upgrade and touchstone maps which will not undergo major changes to gameplay, whereas other maps have been rebuilt or overhauled with the help of the new Source 2 Tools.
Of these, Overpass has been reworked to make use of the new engine's unison lighting system. The underpass of the map has been filled with daylight which makes the area more spacious and less crowded. Additionally smoke grenades are now able to expand dynamically to fill spaces and interact with the new light.
Italy is a different map that has been revamped. Its lighting, texture, and
case shadow structure have been greatly improved. The new version has a more balanced and natural feel as opposed to its predecessor, which was heavily CT oriented. In the future, fans can anticipate seeing classics like Aztec and Militia revamped.
Although many of these maps are still available in other modes, they're not being added to the map pool for competitive play. The exception is Train which has been removed from Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve has not yet confirmed whether the other maps that were removed from the pool will be added back.
Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. The change has been criticized as controversial. The news organization has been a vocal critic of Russia's actions in Ukraine and the map is based from the city devastated by war, Donetsk.
