Cleaner, brighter, better. Maps in Counter-Strike 2 are receiving upgrades and overhauls which leverage all of the new Source 2 tools and rendering features.
I used to wake up 8 am every saturday after saving up all week to go to a local internet cafe and used to cash in what I could afford to sit at that internet cafe and play counter strike with friends, this game has a special place in my heart.
It's crazy I am probably way younger than you but I still managed to somehow sneak into an internet cafe when I was like 8 and I got to play CS Source once with the knife and all and it imprinted itself in my head as a special moment forever
A bunch of kids 14-21 years old talking shit across the Internet cafe. That place was like the casino - time flew by and never had an idea of what time it was unless you went outside.
That is the Valve mentality and it has been so for decades. Ever since HL2 release was pushed back because of hackers, they've simply kept MOST release dates to themselves. People whine about "non-communication" from Valve, but they don't understand why... Say you will release something in 3 days, but in 2 days all of a sudden you have to postpone it, then comes the negativity.. Better to skip negativity and just release content.
valve is slowly becoming a game development company again incredible edit: it seems theyre just making a remake of csgo. i mean some of the additions are cool and they did redo like, a single map in terms of gameplay. however, im expecting more in the future. its pretty early into development rn.

Dear Valve Team, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you as a passionate gamer and a concerned member of the Counter-Strike community. I am reaching out to express the growing need for a dedicated server for Russian-speaking countries in Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and to highlight the potential impact it can have on the European server community. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the fantastic work Valve has done in creating and maintaining the Counter-Strike franchise. The game has become a cornerstone of the global esports scene, captivating millions of players from various regions. However, it has become evident that the lack of a dedicated server for Russian-speaking countries is leading to significant issues within the European server community. Currently, players from Russia and other Russian-speaking countries have to connect to European servers, causing language barriers and inconsistent gaming experiences. The language barrier often leads to miscommunication and frustration among players, hampering teamwork and overall gameplay quality. Moreover, the disparity in network connectivity and pings between Russia and Europe results in increased latency and, consequently, a less enjoyable experience for both parties involved. By providing a dedicated server for Russian-speaking countries, Valve can alleviate these issues and enhance the gaming experience for players from both regions. This solution would promote better communication, stronger teamwork, and fairer gameplay. Additionally, it would foster a more inclusive and diverse community, where players can fully enjoy the game in their preferred language, leading to increased player engagement and longevity. Furthermore, this step would have a positive impact on the European server community as well. With a dedicated server for Russian-speaking countries, European servers would experience reduced server load and lower ping times, resulting in smoother gameplay and enhanced server performance. This change would undoubtedly breathe new life into the European server community and ensure its continued growth and vitality. As a community, we genuinely believe that Valve, as a leading force in the gaming industry, has the power and influence to make a substantial difference. We kindly request your consideration and support in establishing a dedicated server for Russian-speaking countries in CS2. We understand that this may require significant resources, but we firmly believe that the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We sincerely hope that you will give due consideration to our request. The Counter-Strike community eagerly awaits a response from Valve, and we remain confident that you will make the right decision for the betterment of the game and its players. Yours sincerely, on behalf of EU PLAYER
That's crazy. I wonder if they would add more new stuff into tbr game now. It seemed like old engine is the only thing holding them back from adding new stuff likethat
For some even myself the smoke was a instant denier in early round when as a t, this will make molotovs a must for ct's since smoke will no longer really work for a rush denier, at least in my opinion.
I like how they want their game to succeed by giving players what they want AND creating a map maker that will boost sales and leave the community happy
That's how they make money. Valve creates a framework, tells the community to handle it and rakes in the money with minimal effort. Works every time, somehow.
that literally is like VR cs, and has nothing to do with it being cool, kiddo. it completely takes away the strategic aspects of the game. this cannot be the update to come, it would ruin the game.......
@blueasis ye but modern games usually do it a good bit after as it either does not matter to them, they want to add it as new content, or they didn't think about it. It also sometimes just sucks but I don't valve would miss on a map maker.

I don't even play CS, and don't have any real interest in doing so, but seeing Valve coming back to _game_ development and finally seeing the fruits of Source 2 (CS2, HL: Alyx, Aperture Desk Job) just fills me with such joy. It feels like seeing the old Valve again. It makes my poor TF2 heart hope beyond hope. Source 2 isn't the most advanced graphics in the world, but what it excels at is a _consistently_ all around great look and ease of running its games. It still looks super detailed (even in VR), but it's less heavy than most other high-detail games.

@@NigerianCrusader i agree that you should try something new , i love csgo playing since cs1.6 but skyrim is easily the best game i have ever played , the modding scene the community its just best out there
@@TechnologicallyTechnical True. For example, I remember when bds got them to rehaul the netcode, and 2kliksphillip got them to fix minor things multiple times.
Fun fact: Ever since CS 1.6, there have been 3 Major versions of Counter Strike released: CS:CZ, CS:S, and CS:GO. Which can be named alternatively as CS 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9. Making CS2 logical in the version timeline.
This is so exciting, I’m glad the time was taken to make an actual good game than just rushing it. I’m sure these new features will bring more techniques and tactics
An engine that looked impressive when the L4D2 Plantation level screens leaked in 2014.. I mean it still looks good, but only one major game has been released on this engine (bar DOTA2) for all the time it's been around, S&box doesn't count because it's not made by Valve. It's just sad. Where's L4D3?! That game needed a sequel ages ago as it's so bare-bones.
Realistically we probably will get a L4D3 I'm guessing it's a similar issue to HL where the expectations are high as hell and they don't wanna screw it up
Thank you for keeping originals as well without touching them too much for true OG's. This is something lots of big gaming companies could learn from. Well done, looks awesome.
True OG's lol I didn't see any inclusions of the original maps there, just the CS:GO ones. I'd quite like to see a bunch of untouched maps from 1.6's legacy in there. y'know, cs_assault for example. Was nice to see italy though
@@zhell I don't think it's raytraced though. Nice reflections isn't always raytracing, especially since that would use a lot of the performance budget for no reason.
it looks more like Cs source rather than inferno we had in csgo which is a good thing, in my honest opinion. Imagine they give back mid window from t side
After spending like 10 years trying and failing to make Half-Life 3, Valve finally is making stuff again. Alyx, Steam Deck, the new Big Picture UI, giving Source 2 to S&box, and now CS 2. What a time to be alive!
as a gamer who played counter strike already when it first came out in version 1.0 back in 2000 i would have never ever imagined that i would be still playing videogames at age 42. so happy to see them announce CS2. honestly can't wait.
Source 2's Hammer for Half Life: Alyx was the most fun I had using ANY sort of Hammer editor. Now, it's in a non-VR game! I'm sure workshop creators will love the new editor and all the other tools that come with it
Also the new garry's mod successor made by the same people, S&box, also uses source 2. It is truly getting close to replacing source 1 entirely, we just need at least a good single player game or two to round things out.
i genuinely love how they make the maps look so much better, yet keep the classic old style they were known to have only problem is that my pc may explode when playing these now
Hopefully it will be fine since source 2 is a pretty well optimized engine. It needs to be in order to run VR, so hopefully that will carry over to CS2.
@@magic00squirrel yeah, that's true. i was thinking they would definitely aim to add optimizations to that because i doubt every csgo player owns a nvidia 3090 graphics card
even though this seems obvious, I needed to hear this to feel safe since with the current state of things most devs/companies make you upgrade every goddamn year for a better PC. Yes, its likely though that Valve's Source 2 will have tamer requirements... hopefully.
That’s what I’m saying! I feel like TF2 looks ancient compared to anything today. With it’s straight up pngs of characters on the main menu. something like this would hopefully maybe bring some new life into it

TF:GO pls volvo
Exactly, consistency. Thats why it looked so incredibly good in vr.
Exactly, its amazing in VR
they know how business works, valve = quality
thanks for the update after +10 years!
I can’t believe I still love this game as much as I did as a high school student 24 years ago lol 😂
I'm just happy that another competitive game will be enjoyable not only mechanically, but also visually.
90% of the tryhards will down the graphics to potato with a 4:3 res just to have 700 fps instead of 200 because "i play better like this"

After 20 years, Counter Strike is finally version 2. Been a long time since 1.6+ came out
23 years 😅
last time I played counterstrike was v1.6. I am blown away that this formula of gameplay is still going strong over 2 decades later!

Fun fact:
Ever since CS 1.6, there have been 3 Major versions of Counter Strike released: CS:CZ, CS:S, and CS:GO. Which can be named alternatively as CS 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9. Making CS2 logical in the version timeline.
This is so exciting, I’m glad the time was taken to make an actual good game than just rushing it. I’m sure these new features will bring more techniques and tactics
This probably took like 2 years of work at most.
What new features?
Literally a facelift on a game from 23 years ago
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator Aside new shader and the smoke thing I mean
What specifically is exciting? it's the same game...
An engine that looked impressive when the L4D2 Plantation level screens leaked in 2014.. I mean it still looks good, but only one major game has been released on this engine (bar DOTA2) for all the time it's been around, S&box doesn't count because it's not made by Valve. It's just sad. Where's L4D3?! That game needed a sequel ages ago as it's so bare-bones.
HLA is also made in Source 2
Realistically we probably will get a L4D3 I'm guessing it's a similar issue to HL where the expectations are high as hell and they don't wanna screw it up
Another person forgetting about half life alyx :(
there's a 3 in that it would never get approved
L4D3 was cancelled internally
Coming SUMMER 2023.
Its for the testers.
The music really hypes you up for what is effectively a new coat of paint on the game. But what a glorious new coat of paint it is.
This is going to be an amazing source 2 experience
made in sorse too

Thank you for keeping originals as well without touching them too much for true OG's. This is something lots of big gaming companies could learn from. Well done, looks awesome.
Zoomer consoooomer moment.
Watch as it starts to become a foomer over being called out.
True OG's lol I didn't see any inclusions of the original maps there, just the CS:GO ones. I'd quite like to see a bunch of untouched maps from 1.6's legacy in there. y'know, cs_assault for example. Was nice to see italy though
@@MonsterJuiced Well no fucking shit they wont make a ray traced version of 1.6 maps
@@zhell I don't think it's raytraced though. Nice reflections isn't always raytracing, especially since that would use a lot of the performance budget for no reason.
@@thymicere3911 anime profile pic = opinion doesn't matter 😂🤣
Let’s hope those legendary graffiti is still there. Those are icons of many beautiful Esport moments during the franchise history.
Anyone else get super excited with the sneak peak of the New Inferno? Can’t wait to see it, always been one of my favorite maps.
yesss, reworked inferno in CSGO is messy with colors and on cs2 it looks so clean, I hope we get to see it soon, more than just 2nd mid
it looks more like Cs source rather than inferno we had in csgo which is a good thing, in my honest opinion. Imagine they give back mid window from t side
Plus no skybox, banana control is going to be a whole lot harder to take, and so I b site with the limited use of moltovs. Should be interesting.

After spending like 10 years trying and failing to make Half-Life 3, Valve finally is making stuff again. Alyx, Steam Deck, the new Big Picture UI, giving Source 2 to S&box, and now CS 2. What a time to be alive!

as a gamer who played counter strike already when it first came out in version 1.0 back in 2000 i would have never ever imagined that i would be still playing videogames at age 42.
so happy to see them announce CS2.
honestly can't wait.
i've never played counterstrike. C&C Renegade here, first person shooter developed by Westwood and EA .
To think i played CSS and now am gonna play CSS 2 ( i do like global offensif but doesn't have the charm of CSS that made me stick like zombie escape

I knew that i would game for the rest of my life when i first had a GameBoy in my hands, 1992, age 6.
Sup, newbie, started playing with Beta 4. I bet you've never even seen a VIP map.
These trailers really remind me of the old Black Ops 2 DLC trailers and I love it.
Oh man, I really love this game.
Source 2's Hammer for Half Life: Alyx was the most fun I had using ANY sort of Hammer editor. Now, it's in a non-VR game! I'm sure workshop creators will love the new editor and all the other tools that come with it
Also the new garry's mod successor made by the same people, S&box, also uses source 2.
It is truly getting close to replacing source 1 entirely, we just need at least a good single player game or two to round things out.
Let’s hope so, compared to UnrealEd it was lagging behind and that was many years ago. Not seeing the lighting in Hammer was my biggest annoyance
@@KevBoy3D try it the editor of hl:alyx (their phishyc are very cool)

i genuinely love how they make the maps look so much better, yet keep the classic old style they were known to have
only problem is that my pc may explode when playing these now
Hopefully it will be fine since source 2 is a pretty well optimized engine. It needs to be in order to run VR, so hopefully that will carry over to CS2.
@@magic00squirrel yeah, that's true. i was thinking they would definitely aim to add optimizations to that because i doubt every csgo player owns a nvidia 3090 graphics card
@@TEC_Black cs2 definitely won’t need a 3090 to run it, valve games have always had very low requirements
@@armadilloseller true
even though this seems obvious, I needed to hear this to feel safe since with the current state of things most devs/companies make you upgrade every goddamn year for a better PC. Yes, its likely though that Valve's Source 2 will have tamer requirements... hopefully.
