I was also able to find a change that was not included in the video, these are skins, weapon parts, shooting spray: Skins: The skins of weapons with a scope have changed, where the developers have added a skin to the scope itself. Weapon Details: Small details have been added to many of the weapons, which seem to change with the skin. Spray shooting: I noticed that the spray from the shooting has changed a little.

Unironically the most underrated feature is the ability to see your own shadow. This has helped me so much in planning my jumps from Cat to CT.

So, 20 years for volumetric smoke. What a time to be alive.

The only 2 things I fear in CS2 are: 1. If it somehow changes gameplay 2. My FPS 💀

The mechanics of smoke has become of course cool and the characters themselves with their shadows are clearly visible, but why are textures created on the map that are not displayed? This only increases the load on other participants' computers. What pleases me the most about the changes is that now the shooting is no longer dependent on the player's ping, since I live in Siberia and it often jumped to 80-90. This gives opponents a detection advantage to hook me on the edge of the character, and prevents me from shooting normally with awp. Я также благодарю тебя за прочтение комментария ❤

I like that smoke has some physics in it but I see a small problem with the textures they're using and that there are gaps in it and if a player walks through it, you would see their feet.

I just can’t wait to see how all of the changes impact the gameplay and strat in the tourney

I would love to see different reload animations for CT and T sides, as well as tactical and combat/emergency reloads

The smoke stuff is cool but I feel like they could have made the bullet holes in objects better. For example: the trash bag could leak trash when you shoot it or the cars window can crack when it's shot.

I like the effects of shooting into walls or bags, etc. But I kind of dislike that the bullets just make tiny holes

Opinions on the game: I like how the skybox and raw distance are improved way better and you can’t see anything that looks odd. I do think the smoke could get improvements with the way it look and the tires and windows should break or deflate. The game looks great and I think it has a chance to retake its lead in the best tactical game. Beating valorant or Rainbow 6 Siege. So far, my opinion is positive

I love how simple the smoke sim is but it’s so effective and cool

Some of the improvements on display here are nice such as the smoke detail and the graphics improvement, but I expected an obvious 10+ year upgrade, it feels more like a midlife rework. I'm hoping I'm wrong and the game lives up to expectations🤞

De verdad espero que vuelvan las físicas del cs source. No solo se prestaba para diversas mecánicas, también daba una gran inmersión ver papeles, computadoras y cajas destruyéndose y volando por los aires. Incluso hasta elementos del mapa al momento de que la bomba explota, era demasiado genial y satisfactorio a la vez de ver. Pero claro. esto cambio en cs go, ya que lo removieron para hacerlo más competitivo. Aunque si es de verdad una secuela del counter strike deberían volver esas físicas ya que el objetivo de una secuela. Es la mejora y expansión del anterior titulo. Si leíste esto hasta el final gracias y toma un chocolate 🍫

The physics of the smoke grenade were very interesting, better than that just the fact that the HE explodes close to the Smoke Grenade and actually throws away the object that propagates the smoke.The same could be applied to fire, if it is hit by a HE, in this case just spreading the flames, some visual change in the way the flame is reached by the explosion. But I don't know, in relation to the environments of the scenario, it seemed like a downgrade to me. They could add new mechanics, interaction between player and scenario, some of these barrels could be explosive, in short, so many things that I think would be cool in gameplay.

I still can’t believe how good CS go is. What a step up from CS source while maintaining the same gameplay. I prefer the old layout for joining servers but the competitive matchmaking is nice. 😊

I like how they managed to keep the gun shooting and sound lag the same accross both games

It feels like a lot of minor updates. I hope they made the framework better so new features/changes are easier at least.

Honestly while the smokes look really cool, and the map upgrades and reworks are genius, along with the modding support and ease of access, my biggest hype is still sub-tick-updates

I want to see increasingly aggressive reloads during a duration of a match.

I liked the bullet impacts on CSS more.. also the bullets went through simple barrels and leaved marks in front and behind (and you can hit enemies behind it). Don't know how it is in CS2.

Hot take : I prefer the look of the original, but all the new mechanics are definitely better in the newer version

Yeah things look a little better, but not nearly as much as I expected. Someone mentioned it would be nice if the sand bags leaked sand when shot. The bullet holes look more realistic (not as big) hitting metal barrels or cars, but I kind of like the old versions better in a way. Plus some things just seem like, after all this time, they could look better yet. The rounds hitting a clay pot only put holes in the front instead of going clear through and putting holes in both sides of the pot. And really, a clay pot should shatter with the first shot or so. The segment of showing the car tires being shot would have looked better yet if the tires had gone flat and the car settled the four inches or so on the flat tire. I'm sure I'll enjoy the improvements, but after all this time I would have thought they could have put in more destructible terrain or items in the game to make it a little more realistic. After all, rounds only last about two minutes or so. Boxes being shot up so much that they come apart or doors being chewed up or blown off their hinges would have made things even better I think. What would also be really cool would be if they could come up with some way to have basic maps change a little from game to game if you select that option. Such as stacks of boxes or debris be in different locations, doors to various buildings being open to create a different path, places you can climb up to or on to that you couldn't normally and things like that. If you put enough random things that can open up or move or appear from game to game the permutations could result in thousands or hundreds of thousands different maps! They could be different every game you played!!

For this type of game innovation is not the main thing, but to make smoke in 20 years since the source came out is impressive.

really makes me appreciate the visual aesthetic for csgo more, other changes look dope tho, hopefully settings to use OG hud and raise the contrast

Really love the new smoke mechanic, and how frag grenade affect the smoke, but the way the smoke looks just really off.. just like someone says it looks too cartoony

Moim zdaniem vs 1 jest bardziej żywy jeżeli chodzi o kolorystykę, niektóre elementy bardzo mi się podobają, ale tak to bym zostawił jak było na samym początku CS go. Będą go dopracowywać więc jeszcze będzie dobrze

The biggest and the most welcomed change is "Tick rate no longer matters for moving, shooting, or throwing." If the architecture is good, I hope it becomes an industry standard.

seria legal se as animaçoes de mostrar a arma (apertar F) no teclado fossem visiveis para os outros players

I prefer the old C4 explosion, it was more dramatic instead of the new one which is small.

Ngl I love what they did in CS2. They didn't go overboard with it. They just did what they had to do to make the game feel modern again. Imo they did a great job !

I can understand the lack of new details and destructibles because the game needs to run on most setups with a stable framerate and needs to maintain the best server latency to avoid unfair matches.

It's really beautiful. I quit because there was no physics, never cheating. I'm thinking of starting again, thank you.

You did awesome work, thank you a lot❤

Now if only the smoke had a shadow on the ground. That would really bring it together.

I am more interested into how good the AI bots gonna be in CS2 this time. My experience with CS has been mainly and heavily with AI bots ever since CS 1.6

I prefer the lighting of CSGO as it makes the game look not so washed out, and have actual contrast. I hope that we'll be able to have CS2's light have this desired contrast that's present in the likes of Half Life Alyx, and in some screenshots of CS2 that makes me think it is in the game but depending on people's settings for it, the game looks like the washed out mess it is, such as in this video.

The naturalism of the weapon drops is probably the best I've ever seen.

They should add more kinematics to how smoke bounces off objects

Tem coisas que o jogo regrediu. O fato de os latões NAO cairem com os tiros é foda. Muito irreal.

You cannot compare the environment because the Dust 2 in the beta is a ported map that does not represent the whole game

Great video 🤌 would like to see some skins comparison if possible 👍

Love how theyre updating the smoke, my only gripe with it is how it deploys from the grenade itself, other then that its pretty good

I hope they will update the smoke appearence. Looks pretty cartoony and Fortnite stylish.

Было бы полезно, если бы на гранаты добавили предварительный звук срабатывания перед вылетом чеки, хлопок, который есть в реальной жизни. По нему можно было бы понять, что кто-то сейчас кидает в тебя гранату из-за угла и была бы одна секунда на реагирование.

I hope they make skins more affordable and be more distant from the steam market place 😊

The devs really made csgo even more beautiful

The game could really do with some updated animations, I feel like the updated weapon models are in stark contrast to the stiff, outdated animations from 2012

Lighting is better in this game, but the shadows aren't dark enough, so it makes the scene look a bit too vertex shaded for my liking, ruining the effect of the lighting... Valve might as well use full bright characters as well, while they are at it, so hiding is no longer a valid strategy. I saw very little texture upgrade. I hope it all gets fixed before it comes out.

lo único que no me gusta del Csgo 2 es lo saturado que son los colores, supongo eso se puede configurar, pero me gusta más el estilo del Csgo normal. Espero eso pueda configurarse desde las opciones

i still sort of like the fact that they still kept the animations extremely lifeless.

Fun fact: on older versions of cs go you could actually throw a molotov into a smoke and it would burn inside of the smoke

Que bueno que le sacaron esa opacidad que tenía antes, ahora se ve más fresco el juego y no tan apagado

The palm trees look completely out of place, almost like plastic. And they should add at least a bit ambient occlusion to the corners. Also, the smoke could use some ground shadow. Looks really strange at 1:00. Otherwise nice update.

In CS:GO, the fired bullet shells flied after it hitted the ground, whilst in CS2 it won’t. Great job Valve.

Every dev studio out there: Look at how pretty our Unreal Engine Blueprint project is! Valve: Gives us the smoke we all needed for over a decade.

Algunas mejoras se agradecen pero la verdad es que esperaba mucho más, considerando que pasaron 11 años del lanzamiento del CS: GO y están reutilizando el 90% del juego. Ni siquiera las mejoras gráficas son muy notables.

Da pra melhorar mais. Pneu furar Diferenças na textura após impacto das balas. Exemplo: vidro, cerâmica, metal e saco plástico. Fumaça da smoke sumir após granada ou tiros: física dos objetos: tiros nos barris por exemplo, tem que derrubar o objeto. Tiro nas lâmpadas ou destruição dos objetos são coisas que dão maior imersão. O CS é um jogo que fez parte de gerações mas isso um dia vai acabar, quem se adapta se fortalece. Há jogos que pensam mais nessa imersão. No mais, espero melhoras no sistema anti cheat.

Looks so smooth, love it

I don’t think I’ve ever seen smoke like this actually done in a game, now Rockstar will have to make sure they have realistic smoke in their next game

I was hoping they would update the animations and have more detail in the weapons.

The smoke could look nicer imo Its cool how it works now but it looks like, weird sometimes.

The bomb explosion is wayyy to slow. Honestly it would be amazing if they made the epicenter much faster and then add a fast traveling smoke effect around the area.

2020 Valve: This smoke is good enough. 2023 Valve: Let's make it show more particles, it will look like we've changed something.

Abandonei CSGO depois de anos, e até o momento as melhorias para CS2 parecem muito insignificantes pra me fazer ter vontade de voltar a jogar. Aguardando lançamento pra analisar com mais clareza.

In my opinion, smoke in csgo is better than cs2. But I really like the idea that when you throw a grenade into the smoke, it makes the smoke go away

I hope there will be much more work on the smoke. Currently looks to cartoonish for my taste... as in, it currently doesnt blend in very well with the rest of the environment.

Does this mean that we will be able to throw insane smokes from the other side of the map with no skybox?

I think there is still alot of work to polish the animations. Yes it looks better, yet the smoke is off maybe du the high lightening of the overall game they brought in? Also I don't see a big difference in in impacts on objects, why the car tire or window doesn't break up when you shoot on it?For example shooting on a tire can lower the car by a couple of centimeters and make the guy hiding behind it more visible. Same for the drums why there is no water or oil leak when shooting that make cause a start of a fire? It definitely still needs more realism on this points to make it a huge step forward next to CS:Go, otherwise it will only look like a simple makeover from the original, I'm afraid.

This doesn't look perfect, some parts are even downgrades from CSGO, but CS2 is still being developed and so it will definitely get better in the future

No clue if this is a hot take or not but I definitely enjoy the more cartoonish look a lot, and the new matte textures are also a big improvement for me

The only thing I don’t like about this update is the ability to shoot or create holes through the smoke so you can see through. Not only you can shoot out holes through the smoke, it can all be blown away to non-existent with just one frag grenade. I get they are trying to make it more realistic but in my opinion, that just makes the smoke less useful, or maybe they are doing it to make the game more balanced

New smoke is a big change. Good for the game.

What about fixing lag, improve internet connection, matchmaking region (location for servers) and graphics?

Probably it would be better to make CS2 as a separate game and not an update of the original CS, some people won't like CS2, well at least I think so

Lo único que no me gusta de la smoke es que se vé como sale del piso, y no se expande del centro.

Smoke looks too cartooney, but I like where its going

Sad to see such little improvements and even some downgrades to a decade+ old game

All other CS games are part of v1. I am dissapointed that v2 comes with so less upgrades. From v1 to v2 it should be a big upgrade!

I think it’s weird how everything supposedly casts a shadow now except for the smoke.

Блин как же скучаю от 2013-2015 годах кс было офигенный

Smoke mechanic improves alot. Can't say the same for the guns

Looks so fresh, love it

It’s nice, but at the same time it’s sad to leave the old version. So much history in it. I wonder how this change will effect on performance of current pro players🤔

mismo juego desde el 1.6 pero con mejoras graficas ^^

the sunlight in cs 2 are really close to reality, the background of this battlefield is middle east, and the sunlight in this area are quite big, they have done really good 🎉🎉

The beep sound after every kill was so satisfying. Hope they don't remove it.

With the many charging handle racks, he'd be out of bullets. It's 2023 and still has not changed. You don't need to rack the charging handle when transitioning to the primary, unless you start with an empty gun with a closed bolt.

Totally love it❤

I can't see what the big whoop is about it's just a brighter version of what we have now with different grenades and identical guns. In fact, ironically the original is actually more pleasant to look at

I had high hopes for the bullet impacts sounds or just the bullet ricochet sound.. imagine being under heavy fires and u could hear different bullet sounds around u.. im just saying but if it was possible it would be really immersive. 🤧

There are many new effects like holes from the shots in a fog. But weapon textures look weird and worse comparing to old version.

Like the old CSGO better, the colors are better in CSGO, it's way too bright in CSGO 2

All we need now is new animations to go along with these beautiful guns. I know Valve has the money for mw quality animations. We need that quality but not as aggressive as the mw animations

Looks and sounds great.

The view of the bomb going off from a distance is one of the saddest attempts at "next-gen" I've ever seen

As much as I like the new Ak. I think the old one is better mainly because, surplus of surplus would look beatten to crap, and the one in Csgo actually looks like a gun and not a airsoft rifle.

It was year 2023 when Valve introduced a groundbreaking achievement - sprite smoke.

Will it require a lot more resources in terms of graphic power ? Because I'm playing with my Ryzen 5700g and in 1080p (middle with low shadows) I have like 100 - 120 FPS.

Я конечно понимаю, что разрабы стараются за реализм. Отверстия от пуль теперь смотрятся весьма натурально, но это убивает творчество игроков, которые теперь не смогут рисовать члены на стенах 😂
