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.

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

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

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

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

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 😂

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.

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

csgo's dust2 more realistic than cs2

valve might wanna update the animations, than the graphics itself

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

Nade and shooting aside im glad there's no stupid one way smoke again

11 years later but looks 99% like csgo lol

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

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

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 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.

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

this is what we have been waiting for 10 years

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

i like that you now can see your legs, thats a nice touch to details there more games should do it

I'm glad to know that the thumbnail displayed that the AK-47 in CS2 is without a magazine.

I like the lighting of the new game however it needs more contrast I think... Like it needs to be a little bit darker

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

At 5:46 I got a sudden ad when the flashbang exploded 😂😂.Btw nice timing of putting ads 👍

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

Отсутствие скайбокса, как по мне, самый большой плюс, столько крутых раскидок появится, хоть и некоторые старые пропадут. Только сама графика выглядит странно, всё хорошо но будто бы забыли включить ambient occlusion у пропов, либо это исправят либо теперь это такой визуальный стиль. Дым крутой, но иногда его контур бывает на столько рваным что его можно спутать с игроком или не заметить игрока в этом рваном дыму, надеюсь это тоже исправят, сделав его более округлым по краям. То что в кс2 материалы пропов не правильные, типа у колёс машины не материал резины это не показатель, source2 поддерживает разные материалы на одой модели, просто их ещё никто не настраивал так как карты портировали с минимальными изменениями из csgo, где из-за ограничений source1 лишь 1 материал на всю модель, а машина и её стекло это 2 отдельные модели (такие костыли). И 3д звук на самом деле в csgo крутой (а в cs2 ещё круче) как и во всех последних source играх, просто разница более заметна в маленьких комнатах и на открытой местности. Здесь в приблизительно одинаковых по размеру комнатах звук не особо разнится.

to be honest...the new smoke...the idea of it is dope but it looks super cartoony to me.

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.

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

Looks a bit more cartoonish, and that they just brought back the old shiny materials (glossy metals, etc) that used to be in source games but slowly got phased out for some reason

Oh yh when looking at side by side comparisons, it definitely stands out

Hi there, Thanks for this video! is it possible to use some snippets of your gameplay walkthrough for an article I'm writing about in this game? I would properly credit you and even link to your video within the article.

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

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

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.

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.

what happen to all the camos fot weapons? do they still fit?

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 🍫

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.

Looks so smooth, love it

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

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

they need to improve the smoke sfx, well it has delay timing a bit, it should be "puff sfx along smoke fx"

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 !

И все-таки лучшая физика в была в Counter-Strike: Source. Там и предметы от ударной силы гранат, под действием выстрелов или нажатием клавиши "E" двигались, и многие предметы разрушались буквально по деталькам, начиная от компьютеров и клавиатуры и заканчивая папками с бумажками, телевизорами и картинами.

You did awesome work, thank you a lot❤

I didn't realize how much I miss the old csgo AK. CS2 ak looks like a cartoon gun.

when comes officially out cs:go 2? and is another download or just doing upgrade on cs:go normal? thx for answer

Very disappointed there aren't any new animations for the guns.

The incendiary / molotov effect is finally as good the one they showed at csgo's Trailer

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

Brooo, bullet Passing through the smoke have to be one of the best

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 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 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. 😊

Wish they'd make car's windows breakable. It'd make for some variety, you could break a couple as ct to hold an unexpected angle, plus it'd feel more real when wallbanging the car.

I love both cs and csgo but csgo make me feel more familiar

Not sure if I care for how bright it is now but damn the smoke looks sick

They should add more kinematics to how smoke bounces off objects

Does anyone know what brand trashbags are being used?

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.

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

the volumetric smoke looks like a classic green screen video editing smoke

Now we need an option to enable smoke shadows or something

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.

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. 🤧

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

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🤞

Я не любитель CS, но новая графика мне нравится больше чем старая. Дым классный + новая фишка с рассеиванием дыма и прикольный визуальный эффектом при стрельбе в него. У персонажа наконец-то появилась тень и ноги! Правда ноги это врятли заслуга движка нового, уверен ноги можно было и старом сделать, но хоть что то новое :) (возможно ноги можно отключать в настройках игры, не играл не знаю). Взрыв от бомбы хуже стал как по мне, надо его сделать качественным, что бы террористы чувствовали победу свою при взрыве бомбы ;). Так же физика тел стала лучше, персонажи при смерти не выглядят как сопля. Про освещение я нечего не скажу так как это вкусовщина. Да карты стали светлее, но мне такое более нравится, чем тёмный оттенок.

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

Gun sounds like the raptor from Jurassic park 3. When he’s shooting the environment part of the video here.

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

графика вроде и лучше, но теперь напоминает стандофф какой-то

Last year we had OW2, now CS2, I guess from now on any update patches of a video game can be considered a sequel?

It's crazy to think that cs2 was announced over a year ago

After all these years they could make something better…

Smoke looks too cartooney, but I like where its going

They should increase flashbang effects, normally when they go off they produce gas and particles spray from them

So it's the same thing with updated graphics and volumetric smoke? Getting some Overwatch to OW2 vibes here

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

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

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!!

It needs heroes pick feature for complete "freak show pack".

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

Будем скучать по временам cs go на source 1 😔

They way when the smoke/fire grenades expire when used, they leave off a little smoke for a bit to make it harder to see through for a few seconds. But now they don’t have that, I’m not too fond of that

You are showing us sounds and the music in the background is still playing bro

What`s the music the starts at 2:00 ?

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.

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.

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

How you guys playing it? Is it released for some demonstration?

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

The smoke lacks shadow that's why it looks cartoony for other people

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

i would prefer if the bullet holes in the smoke stayed and as the gunfight plays out the smoke dissipates

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