It turns out that CSGO is just a transition? This is the real Counter-Strike 2
A few days ago, V News Agency suddenly released "CS2" and launched a limited beta version. As we all know, CSGO is the ceiling of FPS games. So far, CSGO has become a global hit game, with passionate fans and players in every country. It has to be said that the CS family has indeed succeeded. After all, there have been a lot of supporters from CS1.5 to CSGO, and there are even a lot of players who switched from CS1.5 to CSGO, and so far they are still active in the game.
Strictly speaking, CS2 is just a "technology upgrade" that moves the entire product from the old engine to the new engine, Source2, based on the same basic architecture and gameplay. Now with the new engine, the materials and lighting effects of the map (and its items and settings) will be significantly improved, making it more realistic! In addition to the artistic effects, some of the physics during the game have also been completely renovated, which can be disassembled below.
Thanks to the engine's next-generation performance, CS2 will also see new changes in graphics, gameplay, and performance. The final full version will be officially released this summer. At that time, the first generation CSGO will receive free upgrades, and accessories and props will be completely retained.
As a new game, it's normal for users to redesign the UI, but whether it's good or not still needs to be experienced by everyone for themselves; In addition, the development team has redesigned the sound system for the "CS2". The various sounds in the game will reflect the physical environment, convey more status information, and of course be clearer.
In "CS:GO", the smoke dispersed after use of smoke grenades is not affected by any terrain or objects; In this new work, smoke is defined as a "dynamic volumetric object" that not only interacts with the terrain, but also produces feedback on light, gunshots, explosions, etc. For example, the air flow after an explosion can push smoke and appear briefly in view.
The anti-cheat system in CS:GO is VAC, published by V News in 2002. With the official release of CS2 this summer, data miner Aquarius found that VAC will also be upgraded. The beta version of "CS2" includes a new anti-cheat measure called "VACLive". If a cheater is found in the match, the match will be cancelled outright. Descriptions such as "Cheater detected" and "VACLive has canceled this game" appear in the relevant code, which means that if cheating is detected in CS2 games, the game may end directly. Of course, it's not yet certain whether this feature will be introduced in the official version of CS2. It is worth mentioning that if a player's account is banned in "CS:GO", then the same account will also be banned in "CS2". Although "CS:GO" uses the Origins2 engine for a full-fledged blood exchange, "V" clearly doesn't want to give these people a second chance.
High! Recently, after the official release of CS2 by V News, all of the players' trinket inventory in CSGO will be pushed to the new version. The news undoubtedly sparked enthusiasm among players and pushed the game's online population to a new level: according to SteamDB, "CSGO" peaked at more than 1.5 million online users. Counter-Strike 2 could be the next best FPS game in e-commerce, so we naturally believe players will have higher frame rates than ever before. Of course, manufacturers are already preparing to help the industry reach new heights of performance. At that time, the 500Hz screen will be unveiled with the NVIDIA RTX4090 GPU.
