Counter Strike New Revealed

Valve finally announced Counter Strike New after weeks of rumors. It's an update to CS:GO that will bring the game onto the Source 2 engine and make some major visual changes.

It also comes with the ability to use smoke grenades that respond and sub-tick updates for servers. It has got a lot of casual gamers going wild but it appears to be an incredible upgrade for regular players.

Smokes

Counter Strike New has a major update that will alter the way smokes are used in the game. These changes are being dubbed as responsive smokes and are a huge game changer. Smokes will expand to fill in areas and move across the map in a variety of ways. They will also react to the lighting of the game, snakebite case which makes them look better and more realistic. Smokes will also to interact with game events. This will create new opportunities for tactical play. Bullets, for example, will push smoke in order to temporarily clear sightlines. Hex grenade blasts can also disperse smoke occlusion.

Smokes are now more dynamic in the game. In previous iterations, smokes were a fixed form that was limited in terms of how far they could be pushed and how much vision they blocked. The smokes are now able to expand to take up the space they're in and Gloves cases will block more of the player's vision when they are within it. This is a significant change that will make the game more dynamic and provide both teams with the same view.

In addition, smokes will now react to the surroundings, weaponry, and lighting in the world. This will make smoke more realistic and offer players to use it to gain an advantage over their opponents. This will especially be beneficial in the chaotic 5v5 games that are likely to occur on every map.

Smokes are no longer one-way. This was a major issue in CSGO as it allowed players to see the location of their opponent behind the smoke. Twistzz is a renowned CS:GO professional who claims that the new system makes CS2 more fair for both teams.

Other minor enhancements include adjusting the position of smoke particles in order to minimize the possibility of seeing through edges, and also changing the smoke overlay images to reflect their camera's position. The expiration of smokes was adjusted to be in line with the visuals on the screen.

Loadouts

CS:GO players are now able to customize their weapon selection prior the start of each match. The new loadout system allows players to select weapons that fit their style of play and team's strategy. The updated system adds new depth to the game, as players must find a balance between power and utility.

In addition to the new loadouts, the CS: GO update includes a number of other improvements and modifications. Most important, the purchase menu has been completely overhauled. The old buy wheel has been replaced by an adjustable grid that shows all purchase options simultaneously. The grid is populated with five pistols and five "mid-tier weapons" such as submachine gun, shotguns and rifles.

The new system will be simple to use and will give players more control over the weapon they choose. It will let them choose the weapons that best fit their style of play, team strategy and play around with different combinations. It also allows them to test out their abilities against other players' loadouts and find out how they stack up.

While many players are pleased with the flexibility it offers, some have complained about it deviating from the fundamental premise of Counter-Strike. They also expressed concerns about how it could affect agents' skins and loadouts specific to the map that are based on visibility.

Despite these concerns However, it is important to keep in mind that the new loadout system is still in its infancy and will go through more thorough testing over the next few months. It is possible that some of these issues will be addressed in future updates, therefore it is essential 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 enabled in the game's settings menu. They allow community contributors to create weapons finishes, stickers, and maps. Additionally the update will live ban players who violate the VAC rules during matches.

The latest CS: GO update is expected to be released later this summer. For now, players can browse the complete list of updates and features 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 wants to ensure that CS: GO is responsive and smooth. The smallest delay could alter the accuracy of an attack. A new video shows one of the game's biggest improvements under the hood, Back referred to as sub-tick updates.

Instead of 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. The client will record each of these tiny increments and send them to the server. The server will transmit the updated game state back to players. The servers will know exactly the moment you fired a shot or jumped, or swung, or pounced.

The video does not provide all the information. However it does clarify that each piece sent by the client has a date and time and that the server will gather all data in chronological order from all players prior to sending it back. According to the video, a CS: GO will be capable of sending twice as much data than 64-tick CS: GO.

This means that even the tick rate of the game increased to 128 Hz, it will still be able to handle your commands instantly. Micro-tick updates also decrease the time it takes to input by making sure that the server reacts to your commands without delays or glitches.

Valve's technical enhancements to the game are only the beginning. Valve is currently implementing dynamic smoke and particle systems to improve how smoke interacts with the surrounding and is updating all maps with high-resolution textures, lighting, Operation breakout weapon case and models. Source 2 tools and features will be used to update all CS Cosmetics and weapons.

Maps

The new update coming to Counter Strike New will bring new maps to the game, as well as some classics that are being given facelifts. These updates are currently being tested as part of a limited test beta. The first set of maps include upgrade and touchstone maps that won't see major changes to gameplay, Hydra Case whereas others have been completely rebuilt or overhauled with the new Source 2 tools.

Overpass is one of these maps that has been reworked in order to benefit from the new engine's unified lighting system. The map's eerie underground has been flooded with daylight to make it more spacious and less overcrowded. In addition smoke grenades now expand dynamically to fill in spaces and interact with the new light.

Italy is another map that has been overhauled. Its lighting, texture, and structure have been greatly improved. The new version is also more balanced than its predecessor, which was heavily CT-sided. In the future, fans can anticipate seeing classics like Aztec and Militia updated.

While a lot of these maps are available in other modes, they're not 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 hasn't yet confirmed whether the other maps that were removed will be returned to the pool.

Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. The newspaper's latest update has been deemed controversial. The news agency has been a vocal critic of Russia's actions in Ukraine, and the map takes inspiration from the city that was devastated by war in Donetsk. The map is called de_voyna, and features a number of references to the conflict.

In the near future the developer will be releasing a set Source 2 tools for community map creators to use in their own creations. This will include features like improved lighting and character reading, as well as physical-based rendering systems that creates realistic materials and textures. It will also make real-world objects like doors and windows, simpler to create. The update is scheduled to be released sometime in the summer.
