Counter Strike New Revealed
Valve finally revealed Counter Strike New after weeks of speculation. 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 introduces responsive smoke grenades and sub-tick updates for servers. It's got a lot of gamers who are a bit naive but it looks like an incredible upgrade for regular players.
Smokes
Counter Strike New has a massive update that will alter the way smokes function in the game. These changes are being dubbed as responsive smokes and are a huge game changer. Smokes will expand to fill areas and move around the map to move around objects. They will also respond to the lighting in the games, making them look more real. In addition to these new features, smokes will be capable of interacting with events in the game, which will open up new tactical opportunities. Bullets, for instance will cause smoke to be pushed to temporarily clear the sightlines. Hex grenade blasts can also disperse smoke and occlusion.
Smokes are now more dynamic in the game. Smokes in earlier versions were a fixed object that had a restricted scope of movement and blocking. The new smokes will fill the space they are placed and block more of a player's vision when they are in place. This is a significant improvement that will increase the speed of play and provide both teams with the same level of visibility.
In addition to this, smokes will now react to the surroundings weapons, lighting, and environment in the world. This makes the smoke appear more realistic and allow players to utilize it in various ways to gain an advantage over their opponents. This will be especially useful in the chaotic matches that will take place on every map.
Smokes are no longer a one-way. This was a major problem in CSGO, as it allowed players to see the location of their opponents behind the smoke. Twistzz is a renowned CS:GO professional who says the new system makes CS2 more fair for both teams.
Other minor changes include moving smoke particles vertically to reduce the impact of edges, and updating spectators smoke overlay visuals so that they match their camera's location. The expiration time of smokes was 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 new loadout system lets players to select weapons that fit their style of play and team's strategies. The updated system also adds new tactical depth to the game as players must balance firepower and utility.
The CS: GO Update includes a number additional improvements and modifications in addition to the new loadouts. The buy menu was completely revamped. The old buy wheel has been replaced by an adjustable grid that shows all options for purchase simultaneously. The grid is populated with five pistols and five "mid-tier" weapons like submachine guns and shotguns, and five rifles and carbines.
The new system will be simple to use, and give players more control over their weapon choice. It will allow them to select the weapons which best suit their playstyle, team strategy and try out different combinations. They can also compare their gear with other players and observe how well they stack up.
Many players have praised the flexibility, while others have criticized it for deviating away from the fundamental premise of Counter-Strike. They also expressed concern over the impact it will have on agents' skins and loadouts specific to the map that are based on visibility.
Despite these concerns however, it is important to remember that the new loadout system is in its infancy, and will undergo more extensive testing in the coming months. Certain of these issues may be addressed in future updates. It is crucial to stay updated for more details.
In addition to the new CS: GO features, the latest update also includes Workshop Tools which can be enabled through the game's settings menu and enable community contributors to design weapons finishes, stickers, and maps. The update will also live the players who are in violation of VAC guidelines in matches.
The latest CS GO update will be released in the coming summer. Players can now look over the full list of features and upgrades by visiting the official CS: GO site.
Sub-Tick Updates
The server updates the world of Counter-Strike in short intervals of time referred to as ticks. The smallest delay between a tick and a mouse click of a player can influence the accuracy of a shot, and Valve is working hard to ensure that CS: GO is fluid and responsive. A new video reveals the biggest improvements to the game, 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. http://nagievonline.com/user/coughsaw2/ will record each of these tiny increments and send them to the server. The server will then transmit the updated game's state back to players. The servers will now know the exact moment that you shot your shot or jumped, peeked or made other inputs.
The video doesn't provide all the information. However it does state that each piece sent by the client has a timestamp and that the server collects all the information 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 as a 64-tick CS: GO.
This means that even when the tick rate of the game increased to 128 Hz it can still handle your commands immediately. Micro-tick updates can also reduce input lag, ensuring that the server responds to your actions without glitches or delays.
Valve's technical enhancements to the game are just the 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 get a facelift with Source 2 tools and features.
Maps
The new update coming to Counter Strike New will bring new maps to the game, along with a few classics that are getting facelifts. These updates are currently being tested as part of a limited test beta. The first set includes an upgrade and a touchstone map which will not undergo major changes to gameplay, while other maps have been revamped or rebuilt using the brand new Source 2 Tools.
Overpass is one of the maps that has been revamped to take advantage the new engine's unified lighting system. The map's eerie underground has been filled with light to make it more spacious and less overcrowded. Smoke grenades have expanded dynamically in order to fill spaces and interact with the light.
Another map that has been revamped is Italy that has been given an overhaul in texture, lighting and structure. The new version is more balanced than its predecessor which was heavily CT-oriented. In the future fans can expect to see classics like Aztec and Militia redesigned.

While many of these maps are still playable in other modes, they're not added to the competitive map pool. The only exception is Train which was removed from Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet confirmed whether the other maps that were removed from the pool will be reintroduced.
Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. Its update has been deemed controversial. The newspaper has been vocal in its criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine, and the map takes inspiration from the war-torn city of Donetsk. The map is called de_voyna, and features a number of references to the war.
In the future, the developer will be releasing a set Source 2 tools for community map makers to make their own maps. This will include features like improved lighting and reading of characters, as well as physically-based rendering that produces realistic textures and materials. It will also make real-world objects, such as windows and doors, easier to use. The update is expected to be released sometime this summer.
