Counter Strike New Revealed

After weeks of rumors Valve has finally announced Counter Strike new. It's an update for CS:GO that will bring the game onto the Source 2 engine and make some significant visual changes.

It also includes the ability to use smoke grenades that respond and sub-tick updates for servers. It's got plenty of casual gamers going wild but it looks like an incredible upgrade for the regular player.

Smokes

Counter Strike New is getting an update that will fundamentally alter the smoking system used in the game. These changes are being dubbed as responsive smokes and will be a significant game changer. Smokes will expand to fill in areas and move around the map to move around objects. They will also react with the lighting in the games, making them look more realistic. Smokes will also interact with events in the game. This will create new opportunities for tactical play. For instance, bullets could push smoke to briefly clear sightlines, and Hex grenade explosions will disperse smoke occlusion.

The most significant change to smokes is that they'll become a more active part of the game. Smokes in previous versions were a fixed-shaped object with a limited range of movement and vision blocking. Smokes of the new design will fill the space in which they are located and make it harder for players to see vision when they are there. This is a major improvement that will make the game more dynamic and will give both teams the same visibility.

Additionally, smokes will now react to the surroundings weapons, lighting, and environment in the world. This will make the smoke feel more real and allow players to use it in different ways to gain an advantage over their opponents. This will especially be useful in the chaotic 5v5 games which are bound to occur on every map.

Smokes will no longer be one-way, which was a significant problem in CS:GO and allowed players to view their opponents' positions from behind the smoke. Twistzz is a popular CS:GO professional who believes the new system makes CS2 more fair for both teams.

Other minor changes include adjusting smoke particles vertically to minimize the visible edges, and updating spectators smoke overlay images so that they match their camera's position. Also, the expiration of smokes has been updated to be more in line with the visuals of how they fade onto the screen.

Loadouts

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

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

The new system is simple to use and will give players more control over their weapon choices. It will let them pick the weapons that fit their playstyle and team strategy the best, as well as experiment with different combinations. It will also enable them to test out their skills against other players' loadouts and find out how they stack up.

While many players appreciate the added flexibility, case Esports others have been critical of it for straying from the essence of Counter-Strike. There have been concerns about how it will impact map-specific loadouts and agent case skins dependent on visibility.

However, despite these criticisms, it is important to remember that the new loadout system is in its infancy, and revolution case esports (Main Page) will undergo more thorough testing over the next few months. It is possible that certain issues could be addressed in future updates, therefore it is essential to stay tuned for more details.

Workshop Tools are also included in the update and can be turned on from the settings menu. This allows community members to create weapons finishes and stickers, as well as maps. The update will also live the players who are in violation of VAC guidelines in matches.

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

Sub-Tick Updates

The server updates the world of Counter-Strike in short intervals of time referred to as ticks. Valve is determined to ensure that CS: GO is responsive and smooth. The smallest delay can alter the accuracy of an attack. A new video shows the biggest improvements to the game, which is also known as sub tick updates.

Rather than a 64-tick update every millisecond, CS: GO will now be able to make use of sub-ticks (or as Valve calls them, "micro-ticks") to communicate with the server. Each of these tiny intervals of time will be recorded by the client and sent to the server, which will send back the updated game state back to players. The servers will be able to tell when you fired a shot or jumped, or swung, or pounced.

While a minute-long video is not enough to explain everything the video explains each piece of information sent by a client has an associated timestamp, and that the server will collect all the information from all players in chronological order prior to sending it back. According to the video the CS: GO server will now be able to send up to twice as much data as a 64-tick server.

That means that when the game's tick rate increases to 128 Hz, it will still be able to handle your commands instantly and consistently. Micro-tick updates can also reduce the time it takes to input by making sure that the server reacts to your commands without glitches or delays.

Valve's technical improvements to the game are only beginning. The company is working on dynamic smoke and particle systems to improve how smoke interacts with the environment and is also upgrading all of the maps with high-resolution textures, lighting, and models. Source 2 tools and features will be used to make changes to all CS cosmetics and weapons.

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 of maps comprises upgrade and touchstone maps that won't see major changes to gameplay, while others have been fully rebuilt or overhauled with the new Source 2 tools.

One of them is Overpass was redesigned to take advantage of the new engine's unified lighting system. The map's dark underground has been flooded with light to make it more spacious and less congested. Smoke grenades are now expanding dynamically to fill spaces, and interact with light.

Another map that's been overhauled is Italy that has been given major changes to texture lighting, structure and texture. The new version is also more balanced than its predecessor, which was heavily CT-sided. Fans can expect a few more classics, such as Aztec and Militia, to be revamped in the near future.

While a lot of these maps are still available in other modes, they're not added to the competitive map pool. The exception is Train which has been pulled out of Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet confirmed whether the other maps taken from the pool will be reinstated.

Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. The newspaper's latest update has been deemed controversial. The newspaper has been open in its criticism of Russia's actions against Ukraine. The map is based off of the war-torn Donetsk. It's titled de_voyna, and contains a range of references to the war.

The developer will release a set Source 2 Tools for map makers in the near future. This will include features such as improved lighting and character reading, as well physical-based rendering systems that creates realistic materials and textures. It will also make real-world objects, like doors and windows, more simple to create. The update is set to launch sometime in the summer.
