Counter Strike New Revealed After months of rumors, Valve has finally announced Counter Strike new. It's an update to CS:GO that will bring the game onto the Source 2 engine and make some significant visual changes. It also introduces sub-tick server update and responsive smoke grenades. It has got a lot of casual gamers going wild but it looks like a huge upgrade for regular players. Smokes Counter Strike New has a major update that will alter the way smokes work in the game. The changes are being described as responsive smokes and will be a major game changer. Smokes will expand to fill up spaces naturally and move around different objects on the map. They will also respond to the lighting of the game, which makes their appearance more appealing and realistic. In addition to these new features, smokes will be able to interact with game events and will offer new tactical possibilities. For example, bullets will force smoke to briefly make clear sightlines, while Hex grenade explosions will disperse smoke to block sightlines. Smokes will now be more dynamic in the game. In the past, smokes were a fixed shape that was limited in how far they could go and how much vision it blocked. The new smokes will occupy the space in which they are placed and make it harder for players to see vision when they are there. This is a significant change that will make the game more dynamic and give both teams the same visibility. Smokes can also react to the lighting and weapons as well as the surroundings in the world space. This makes the smoke appear more real and allow players to use it in a variety of ways to gain an advantage over their opponents. This is especially beneficial in the chaotic games that are expected to occur on every map. Smokes won't be one-way that was a major issue in CS:GO, and allowed players to view their opponents' positions behind the smoke. Twistzz is a well-known CS:GO pro, says that the new system is a major improvement for competitive CS2 and makes it more fair for both teams. Other minor enhancements include changing the vertical position of smoke particles to reduce the visible edges, and updating spectators smoke overlay images so they are in line with 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 Players of CSGO can now modify their weapon selection prior to the start of every match. The new loadout system allows players to select weapons that fit their style of play and team strategies. 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 a number additional improvements and modifications in addition to the brand new loadouts. Most importantly, the buy menu has been completely revamped. The old buy wheel has been replaced by a customizable grid that shows all options for purchase simultaneously. The grid has been filled with five pistols and five mid-tier weapons like submachine guns and shotguns, as well as five rifles and carbines. The new system is easy to use, and give players more control over the weapon they choose. It will let them pick the weapons that fit their playstyle and team strategy the best, as well being able to experiment with different combinations. They can also compare their gear with other players and observe how they stack up. While many players are pleased with the additional flexibility, others have been critical of it for straying from the essence 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. In spite of these criticisms the new loadout method will be tested more extensively in the coming months. Some of these issues could be addressed in future updates. It is essential to keep up-to-date for more details. Workshop Tools are included in the update and can be turned on from the settings menu. This lets community contributors design weapon finishes and stickers, as and maps. The update will also ban players who break the VAC rules in matches. The latest CS GO update will 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. Valve is determined to ensure that CS: GO is fast and smooth. The smallest delay could alter the accuracy of an attack. A new video highlights the biggest improvements made to the game, also known as sub tick updates. Rather than an update of 64 ticks 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 keep track of each of tiny increments and then send them to the server. The server will transmit the updated game's state back to players. The servers will now know exactly moment when you shot, jumped, peeked or made other inputs. The video doesn't cover everything. However, it does explain that each piece of data sent by the client is accompanied by a time stamp and that the server will collect all the data in chronological order from all players prior to sending it back. According to the video the CS: GO server will now be able to transmit more than twice the data as a 64-tick server. This means that even when the game's tick rate increases to 128 Hz, it'll be able to process your commands immediately and consistently. Micro-tick updates can also reduce input lag by ensuring that the server responds to your actions without delays or glitches. It's evident that this is just the beginning of the technical enhancements Valve is making to the game. The company uses dynamic smoke and particles to improve how smoke interacts with the environment. It's upgrading all maps with high-resolution lighting, textures and models. All CS weapons and cosmetics will also be updated with Source 2 tools and features. Maps The next update for Counter Strike New brings new maps and a few classics with facelifts. The updates are being tested in an unspecified beta. The first set includes upgrade and touchstone map which will not undergo major changes in 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 modified to take advantage the new engine's unified illumination system. The map's eerie underground has been filled with light to make it more spacious and less overcrowded. In addition smoke grenades now expand dynamically to fill spaces and interact with the new light. Italy is a different map that has been revamped. Its texture, lighting and structure have all been significantly improved. The new version has a more balanced feel than its predecessor which was heavily CT oriented. clash.gg can expect more classics, including Aztec and Militia to be updated in the near future. Although many of these maps are still playable in other modes, they're no longer added to the competitive map pool. The only exception is Train, which has been removed from Active Duty and will continue to be played in tournaments. Valve hasn't yet decided if the other maps removed from the pool will be reinstated. Helsingin Sanomat is the national newspaper of Finland. The change has been deemed controversial. The news organization 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 called de_voyna, and contains a range of references to the conflict. In the near future, the developer will be releasing a set of Source 2 tools for community map creators to utilize in their own designs. This will include features like improved lighting and character read as well as physical-based rendering that creates realistic textures, materials, and reflections. It will also help in the implementation of real-world objects like windows and doors. The update is expected to be released sometime in the summer.
