Smokes

Counter Strike New has a massive update that will alter the way smokes work in the game. These changes, dubbed responsive smokes, will be a 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 in the game, which will make them look better and more realistic. Smokes will also interact with events in the game. This will provide new tactical opportunities. Bullets, for instance will push smoke in order to temporarily clear the sightlines. Hex grenade blasts can also disperse smoke and occlusion.

Smokes will be more dynamic in the game. Smokes from previous versions were fixed-shaped objects with a limited ability to move and blocking. The new smokes will expand to cover the space they're in and will hinder the player's view when they are within it. This is a major improvement that will make the game more exciting and give both sides the same view.

Additionally, smokes will now react to the surroundings weapons, lighting, and environment in the world. This will make smoke more realistic and give players to use it to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is particularly useful in the chaotic games that are expected to occur on every map.

Smokes will also no longer be one-way which was a major issue in CSGO 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 competitive cs2 case and will make it more fair for both teams.

Other minor enhancements include adjusting smoke particles vertically to reduce the impact of edges, and updating spectators smoke overlay images so they are in line with their camera's location. Finally, the expiration of smokes was updated to be more in accordance with the visuals of how they fade on the screen.

Loadouts

CS:GO players are now able to customize their weapon choices prior to the start of every match. The new loadout system lets players to select weapons that fit their style of play and team strategies. The updated system adds new depth to the game, as players must balance the power of their weapons and their utility.

The CS: GO Update includes a number other improvements and changes in addition to the brand new loadouts. The buy menu was completely revamped. The old buy wheel has been replaced with an adjustable grid that displays all options for purchase simultaneously. The grid is populated with five pistols, five "mid-tier" weapons, such as submachine guns and shotguns, as well as five rifles and carbines.

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

While many players appreciate the additional flexibility, counter Strike others have criticized it for deviating from the fundamental premise of Counter-Strike. They have also raised concerns about how it could impact map-specific loadouts and skins of agents that are based on visibility.

In spite of these criticisms the new loadout method will be tested more extensively in the coming months. It is possible that certain issues could be addressed in future updates, so it is essential to keep an eye out for further details.

Workshop Tools are also included in the update and can be enabled from the settings menu. This allows community contributors to design weapons finishes and stickers as also maps. The update will also the players who are in violation of VAC guidelines in matches.

The latest CS GO update is scheduled to be released in the middle of summer. Players can check out the full list of features and updates by visiting the official CS: GO site.

Sub-Tick Updates

The world of Counter-Strike is constantly updated by the server in discrete time increments called ticks. The tiniest delay between a tick's time and the mouse click of a player can influence the accuracy of a shot, and Valve is doing its best to ensure that CS: GO is responsive and smooth. A new video shows one of the game's biggest under-the-hood improvements, known as sub-tick updates.

Instead of a 64-tick-update every millisecond, CS:GO now uses sub-ticks, or as Valve calls it, "micro ticks", to communicate with the servers. Each of these small increments of time will be recorded by the client and transmitted to the server, which will transmit the updated game state to players. The servers will now know the exact moment that you shot your shot or jumped, peeked, and other inputs.

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

This means that even if the game's tick rate goes up to 128 Hz, it'll be able to process your commands immediately and consistently. And it's not just about increasing the tick rate, either; micro-tick updates can reduce latency and input lag by guaranteeing that the server is responding to your actions without delays or glitches.

Valve's technical enhancements to the game are only beginning. The company is implementing dynamic smoke and particle systems to improve how smoke interacts with the surrounding and is also updating all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. All CS: GO cosmetics and weapons will be updated with Source 2 tools and features.

Maps

The coming update for Counter Strike New will bring new maps to the game along with some old favorites that are being given facelifts. The updates are currently being tested in a limited beta. The first set of maps includes touchstone and upgrade maps that will see no major changes to gameplay, while others have been completely renovated or redesigned using the new Source 2 tools.

Overpass is one of these maps that has been modified to benefit from the new engine's unified light system. The underpass of the map has been flooded with light which makes the area more spacious and less crowded. Smoke grenades now expand dynamically to fill in spaces, and interact with the light.

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

While many of these maps remain accessible in other modes, they're no longer added to the competitive map pool. The exception is Train which was pulled out of Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve has not yet confirmed whether the other maps that were removed from the pool will be added back.

One of the more controversial updates is one created by Helsingin Sanomat, Counter Strike Finland's national newspaper. The newspaper has been vocal in its criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine and the map draws inspiration from the city devastated by war, Donetsk. The map is dubbed de_voyna and includes a number references to the conflict.

In the near future the developer will be releasing a set of Source 2 tools for community map creators to make their own maps. This will include features such as improved lighting and character read and physical-based rendering that produces realistic textures, materials and reflections. It will also make real-world objects, like doors and windows, simpler to implement. The update is expected to be released sometime in the summer.
