sweet mother it looks crazy

volumetric smokes and tick rate are MASSIIIIIIIIIIVE

 

[Kaachan]

Holy shit, let's go!

 

[ShadowLag]

That smoke tech is actually pretty damn cool.

 

[Shane89]

bring it to console and COD will be DEAD.

 

[Mr Moose]

Summer release.

 

[amigastar]

Smoke physics are nice but all in all graphically it doesn't look as impressive.

 

[GymWolf]

The smoke now act like bubbly soap more than actual smoke

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Tomeru]

Counter Strike Remasturd

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Smoke physics are nice but all in all graphically it doesn't look as impressive.

But the gameplay implications are cool.

 

[Imtjnotu]

voxel based smoke. that looks pretty good

The game still need to run on a potato pc, it looks way better than i was expecting...

Overwatch 2 looks identical to ow1 for example.

 

[jshackles]

Also, I was expecting this to be a troll thread when I clicked on it.

"Counter Strike, 2 first videos"

 

[Midn1ght]

I uninstalled CSGO on the 31th of December 2022 after 6 years and 1800 hours in an effort to play different games this year.

God dammit Valve...

 

[k_trout]

looks awesome

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Graphics are cleaned up nicely. Looks exactly how I expected it to since they want it to reach as many people as possible.

Looks amazing to me, definitely jumping back into CS and will make it my go to game.

 

[Elder Legend]

Diablo 4 and Counter Strike 2 both in Summer. What a time to be alive. Holy shit my childhood resurrected. I feel like I am 14 again!

Aztec looks fucking awesome!!!

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Looks like CS with voxel smoke

 

[Alexios]

Also, I was expecting this to be a troll thread when I clicked on it.

"Counter Strike, 2 first videos"

Fuck, wasted opportunity to make the title like that...

 

[Mr.ODST]

Damn the Smokes looks incredible .... cannot wait for Source 2

 

[Saber]

Looks interesting, the smoke bomb seems like an interesting concept.

 

[The Fartist]

bring it to console and COD will be DEAD.

It would require mouse and keyboard, and we all know how that's worked out in the past on console.

 

[reinking]

I would love to get back into CS but it has been well over a decade. I would get 'smoked.'

 

[gimmmick]

How old is the source engine that they are using? Seems like I have been hearing about it since half life 2.

 

[Fake]

Dude.... about time.

Can't wait.

 

[skit_data]

Responsive smoke seems pretty damn cool

Edit: I remember back in 1.5 when you could just lower the smoke effects so that you had this blurry 2d sprite… this seems like an improvement

 

[diffusionx]

I really thought this was just going to be a behind the scenes engine upgrade, but nope.

 

[iorek21]

So, the chances of that Left 4 Dead 3 leak being true are huge?

 

[Elder Legend]

How old is the source engine that they are using? Seems like I have been hearing about it since half life 2.

The latest one from Half Life Alyx. Source 2, its roughly 3 years old at this point but still advancing.

 

[SantaC]

Wow Counter-Strike 2; opens the videos and it doesnt look much different from CSGO eh.

 

[Robb]

Looks neat, love the smoke physics.

 

[Fake]

So, the chances of that Left 4 Dead 3 leak being true are huge?

They saw potential into upgrade their old games with Source 2. Not to mention the mod community from L4D2 still huge.


I just wonder if they gonna re-release games one console since the Portal 2 Nintendo Switch version was a sucess.

 

[Holammer]

The blood splatter shown on the CS2 page (Hi-Def VFX) look amazing.

 

[rodrigolfp]

"Low" poly af, but cool.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Nice physics but yeah, thats not how smoke works lmao.

 

[clarky]

It would require mouse and keyboard, and we all know how that's worked out in the past on console.

Nah they did the original on console, dont see why this would come eventually as well considering how popular the game still is.

The chances of it killing COD are slim to none though.

 

[gimmmick]

The latest one from Half Life Alyx. Source 2, its roughly 3 years old at this point but still advancing.

Thank you. I'm like I don't remember any source game being this good looking of a game since the 360 era lol

 

[The Fartist]

Nah they did the original on console, dont see why this would come eventually as well considering how popular the game still is.

The chances of it killing COD are slim to none though.

Was it cross-play though? This new one would have to be cross-play, and the game would fail as PC players would murder.

 

[SomeGit]

I want to see how that smoke tech will change entries, sounds like a good way to introduce a counter for well executed smoke entries where before there wasn't really much you could do.

Was it cross-play though? This new one would have to be cross-play, and the game would fail as PC players would murder.

No, they cancelled cross play at the 11th hour for the PS3 version. Probably since they wanted to freely update the PC version.

 

[RagnarokIV]

LMAO that's hilarious smoke.

But in all seriousness, let's gooooo. Could this fill the void that MGO2 left?

 

[Puscifer]

Yes, but did they trim it down to be less eSports and more classic 1.6/source? It's why I dropped GO, everything about that game feels like it's funneling you into buying stuff to customize your territorist with anime guns

 

[BlackTron]

The dynamic smoke physics and tick rate changes are both real software upgrades for FPS games. It seems Valve has yet to hit a ceiling buffing out this category.

 

[k_trout]

Thank you. I'm like I don't remember any source game being this good looking of a game since the 360 era lol

source 2 says hi

 

[Puscifer]

LMAO that's hilarious smoke.

But in all seriousness, let's gooooo. Could this fill the void that MGO2 left?

I'll take it over rotating 2D textures lol. I noticed it in uncharted 2 even all those years back and can't believe how normal that technique is, even now! Feel like the last time games gave us interactive smoke was Killzone 2 and it was only a couple sections, one of them you observing the smoke being sucked into an engine.

 

[Elder Legend]

bring it to console and COD will be DEAD.

Ugh...no.

CoD and CS are VERY different games. One is extremely arcadey and the other is more technical and slower paced. CoD will NEVER die, it's too big , brings too much money and both can easily co-exist.

 

[Utherellus]

 

[Calverz]

Fuck yes. Dynamic smokes!

 

[Rhazkul]

bring it to console and COD will be DEAD.

No. There was a CS for consoles (Condition Zero or something) and it failed horribly.
