Counter Strike New Revealed

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

It also introduces responsive smoke grenades as well as sub-tick updates for servers. It has got a lot of casual gamers going wild but it looks like an incredible upgrade for regular players.

Smokes

Counter Strike New has a huge update that will change the way smokes function in the game. The new changes are being referred to as responsive smokes and will be a major game changer. Smokes will now expand to fill in spaces naturally and then move around objects on the map. They will also react to the lighting of the game, which makes their appearance more appealing and realistic. In addition to these new features, smokes are now be capable of interfacing with gameplay events and will offer new tactical opportunities. Bullets, for instance, will push smoke to temporarily clear sightlines. Hex grenade blasts will also disperse smoke occlusion.

The most significant change to smokes is that they will be a more dynamic element of the game. Smokes in previous versions were a fixed-shaped object with a limited ability to move and blocking. However, the smokes are now able to expand to cover the space they're in and will 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 provide both teams with the same level of visibility.

Smokes will also react to the lighting as well as the weapons and the surroundings of the world. This will make smoke more realistic and give players to utilize it to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is particularly useful in the chaotic 5v5 matches that are sure to happen on every map.

Smokes will no longer be one-way which was a major issue in CS:GO, and allowed players to see their opponent's location behind the smoke. Twistzz is a well-known CS:GO pro, says that the new system is an enormous improvement for players in competitive CS2 and will make it more fair for both teams.

Other minor improvements include adjusting the position of smoke particles in order to minimize the possibility of seeing through edges, and also updating the smoke overlay visuals to match their camera's position. The expiration of smokes was changed to match the visuals on screen.

Loadouts

The CS:GO players can now customize their weapon selection prior to the start of each game. The new loadout system allows players to select weapons that fit their style of play and team's strategy. The new system also brings new tactical depth to the game since players must be able to balance firepower and utility.

The CS: GO Update includes numerous other enhancements and changes in addition to the brand new loadouts. The buy menu was completely revamped. The old buy wheel was replaced with a customizable grid which shows all the purchase options at once. The grid has been populated with five pistols and five "mid-tier" weapons such as submachine guns and shotguns, and five carbines and rifles.

The new system will be simple to use and will give players greater control over their weapon selection. It will let them choose the weapons which best suit their style of play, team strategy and experiment with various combinations. They can also compare their gear against other players to see how well they stack up.

While many players are pleased with the flexibility it offers, some have complained about it deviating from the core essence of Counter-Strike. They have also raised concerns over how it will affect loadouts specific to maps and skins for agents dependent on visibility.

Despite these criticisms the new loadout method will be tested more extensively in the coming months. Some of these issues might be addressed in future updates. It is essential to keep up-to-date for more details.

In addition to the brand new CS: GO features, Csgo Cases the update also comes with Workshop Tools that can be enabled in the game's settings menu. They enable community contributors to design weapon finishes, stickers, and maps. In addition, the update will now live ban players who break the VAC rules during games.

The latest CS: GO update is scheduled to be released later this summer. For now, players can look over 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 cases in small intervals of time, referred to as ticks. The smallest gap between a tick and a mouse click of a player can influence the accuracy of a shot, so Valve is working hard to ensure that CS: GO is fluid and responsive. A new video shows the most significant improvements to the game, which is also known as sub tick updates.

Instead of a 64-tick-update each millisecond, CS:GO now uses sub-ticks or, as Valve calls them, "micro ticks", to communicate with servers. The client will take note of each of these tiny increments and transmit them to the server. The server will then send the updated game state back to players. The servers will know exactly when you fired a shot or jumped or peeked.

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

This means that even if the game's tick speed goes up to 128 Hz, it will still be able to process your commands immediately and consistently. The micro-tick updates also reduce input lag, making sure that the server responds to your actions without glitches or delays.

This is clearly only the beginning of the technological improvements Valve is making to the game. The company uses particles and smoke that are dynamic to improve how smoke interacts with its surroundings. It's also updating all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. All CS: GO weapons and cosmetics will also get a facelift with Source 2 tools and features.

Maps

The next update for Counter Strike New brings new maps, as well as a few classics that have been updated with facelifts. These updates are being tested in a limited beta. The first set includes an upgrade and touchstone map that won't see any major changes to gameplay, while other maps have been renovated or redesigned using the new Source 2 Tools.

Of these, Overpass has been reworked to make use of the new engine's unison lighting system. The map's eerie underground has been flooded with daylight, making it more spacious and less congested. In addition, smoke grenades will now expand dynamically to fill in spaces and interact with the new light.

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

These maps won't be added to the map pool for competitive play despite the fact that they are still playable. Train is the exception because it has been removed from Active Duty but will still be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet announced if the other maps that were removed will be reintroduced to the pool.

One of the more controversial updates is one created by Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's national newspaper. The news agency has been a vocal critic of Russia's actions in Ukraine and the map draws inspiration from the city devastated by war, Donetsk. The map is called de_voyna, and it contains a number of references to the conflict.

The developer will release a set of Source 2 Tools for map makers in the near future. This will include features such as improved lighting and reading of characters, as well as physical-based rendering systems that produces realistic materials and textures. It will also make real-world objects, such as doors and windows, simpler to create. The update will be available sometime in the summer.
