Source 2 comes with many changes to make Counter Strike 2 a revolution in a historical game
We knew Valve and CS:GO very well for a few days since some dataminers had found in-game information about Source 2, the new Counter Strike. And it is that the owners of Steam have finally unveiled their “new” game: Counterattack 2. With games of this style there are always a lot of jokes like with League Of Legends 2 or Fortnite 2, but this time it’s real.
Counterattack 2 or CS:GO Source 2 It’s an improvement over the game we have right now. on Steam. The first improvement is the engine change, moving to Source 2, an engine that games like Dota 2 already use. It seems that Gabe Newell likes both, as few “3”s were put in their titles (yes, I’m talking to you, you, the Half-Life saga).
Changes announced for Counter Strike 2
For now we don’t have much information. possess Valve said that it will be quiet until the update comes out in the summer. They only shared a few bits of information with us so we could see the changes, though more changes will inevitably leak over time for two reasons:
- The bone dataminerswho will continue to pull information from Source 2 as they implement improvements to the game.
- The bone beta testers. Influencers, professionals and some elected officials will be able to help the development of CS:GO 2 in its final phase and they will surely tell us something.
Smoke and gameplay
CS fumes have always been like some sort of immovable wall. If you throw a smoke, it stays until it disappears, you can’t do anything. well in Counterattack 2 it will change the moods and the gameplay. One of the most useful objects in the game will have a big change: now it will be a 3D object with which we can interact, these are the News:
- You can dispel or modify a smoke with grenades or bullets.
- when shooting, you make a hole in the smoke that allows you to see through it for a short period of time.
- Smokes now expand naturallyoccupying the space in which they find themselves and adapting to their shape.
Tickrate
It’s complex to explain. The tickrate is the number of times a server checks a player’s position and actions (thus explaining it to the faster). bn Counter Strike 2 added some subtitles that force the server to monitor players better and minimizes errors due to the frequency of tics. Translated into Spanish: now the game will smoke fewer bullets.
