You shouldn't need to "practice smokes". Its not a fun mechanic, and it arose from hardcore sweats trying to inch out every advantage with line ups. Just let us get the preview cam in a live match for smokes, and don't render anything but the map in the smoke preview cam. Now you can line up on the fly without the need to practice lining up pixels on the map.
Exactly my thought! I could maybe understand the removal of water around b site, but they even drained the fountain lol. It seems that draught has hit Germany in the game's universe.
It causes bad frame drops. The CS community is split right now. People that like shiny things and people that want their game back. I'm done indefinitely.
I don't play CS2, but I've been playing R6S for 9 years (am a bit of a masochist, I know) and I'm so jelly of the good-looking visuals of this game- The rain effects, the water, the light... gosh this game looks so pretty
To be fair R6 is very pretty too on very high settings actually, I just miss the old visuals... it used to be very realistic, now it's more arcade looking, but nevertheless still a very modern looking game!
@@w04h Old Siege definitely looked more realistic but it changing was a good thing, remember when blood orchid skins were busted because you literally couldn't be seen in shadows?
I absolutely love how much effort was put into places that are barely visible form the play area, that and the map having a darker aesthetic, which was really missing in CS2 despite the new engine being amazing at it.
I wished for train to be back since cs:go got deleted and now when I thought I've gotten what I've asked for, I guess I don't want train back. Who likes these changes? Why can't they just stick to things that work?
Idk about new train tho. Played 2 Games yesterday. And it feels like it got quite a bit more T sided. In both rounds the T side won like 90% of the rounds. Also literally every round people went A. I saw 2 attempts to go B in around 40 rounds played. But maybe it is just because the map is new.

i really like the new "design"(? of videos, with you talking to the camera from time to time, i think it makes it more authentic it makes it seem like more informative, dynamic and it adds some depth to an otherwise repetitive gameplay background
i appreciate this humane, laid back format with Phillip in frame, but I always liked the monotonous english narrator feeling he gave when he had less camera time
To me its somehow funny, because these comments are just snarky, nonthreatening in any way, but to phillips its a big deal, which I dont get why. Is it because they ruin views or something?
Honestly, I like the new Train version. Something about it feels like the early 2000s. The graphical effects and map designs are genuinely beautiful for a competitive shooter.
I have to be honest, I never played train on old CS games. I watched lots of pro games on it. However I've been looking forward to Train (with some trepidation in lieu of... issues) and played it immediately. I love it. Played it over and over again 10 times in a row. Had an absolute blast. Amazing map. Plenty of tricks to employ. Beautiful work.
I've been saying for ages. They should add the feature from the souls games where players can add community nades and up/downvote good ones. Would also remove a lot of the effort from valve having to go and manually add all the line ups themselves. finger but hole
I haven't played cs2 in a while and just assumed the prediction was an automatic thing. Kinda important for headshots since you may give that information when it didn't happend. That smoke practice and the jump throw preview are great. Especially the jump throw one since a lot of smokes are throw. Also i like that is standarized in the game, a lot of videos have set ups that flat-out don't work. Maybe it's an aspec ratio thing or something, but it's nice to see everything in one place Cool video dude
In Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), the map Overpass underwent significant updates, including enhancements to water physics in the underpass area. These improvements introduced realistic water interactions, such as dynamic ripples and foam effects when players or objects interacted with the water. These changes were well-received by the community, as they added a new layer of immersion to the gameplay. However, some players have reported that the water in the underpass area has been removed or altered in recent updates. This change may have been implemented to address performance issues, as the enhanced water effects could be demanding on system resources, potentially affecting gameplay smoothness for some users. By removing or simplifying these effects, developers aim to provide a more consistent experience across different hardware configurations. It's also possible that the removal of water is a temporary measure while developers work on optimizing the feature. Game development often involves iterative changes, and features may be adjusted or temporarily disabled to ensure overall game stability and performance.
its so sad to see that since launch, they essentially made alot of updates to NOT use the new subtick or make it better, but just to very slowly revert to the stuff they used before, its so stupid, valve is so annoying
Excited for when Philip makes an Instagram account to post when he's going on vacation so that devs can make sure they're releasing their updates on time.
I played one faceit game on the new Train today. In terms of playability it does feel more competitive, but also less forgiving for the CT’s. Especially A. It is far and far too easy for T’s to rush out. The CT’s have literally no wiggleroom on the A-site. Holding Olof from bomb train can be done from only two angles. Besides that you can stand inbetween first and second (first-and-a-half?) But then you’re already off the bombsite. Lastly you can hold a sightline into Olof from Ivy, but the Ivy player already has an entrance to worry about. And don’t even get me started on on holding A from connector. I feel like the A site definitely needs some revamping. B-site has improved I must say, and new Popdog does play really well & fair.
Yeah the new layout for Train is really bad. I played a couple games. The walkway to B long is gone for no reason I understand and theres a weird camp spot behind the hut they put in the way. You can still get up there and get a timing on the T's but its just weird that this was changed, I dont see how it makes the map better. They also removed heaven from what I could see, and the A site is way too open now with less trains. The door to old bomb being closed is another really weird decision. And lets not even talk about pop dog, I dont know whose idea that was but that person needs to be fired. Its also way too easy for T's to get out from A main now, you cant really push to electric anymore as CT at the start of the round and the huge diagonal train in the center means you can only try to hold main from the corner near Ivy. Just really weird decisions that only make the map worse. Its still playable but all these changes are bad. Please give me the Train from CSGO back.
I haven’t had the time to play the new Train yet, but honestly, from what I’m seeing, I’m liking the route Valve took. I see some issues, especially on Popdog, but that’s an opinion based on what I’m seeing without testing.
The bombsites are terrible, anyone who disagrees will have an opinion that ages like milk once the map is inevitably updated. They've some how managed to make the map more open and restricted at the same time.
A timeless debate I never got the real answer to in CSGO was whether blood splatters were serverside or not- as in, if you hit an enemy and blood splattered behind them, could that be a fake splatter and you actually caused no damage due to differences on your side and the serverside? We know hitnoises and visuals were clientside but never found out about splatters
I really want them to put the massive logo back on the wall on B site of Train. The new one is horrible, tiny and boring. I think the site also needs some work as it feels too empty at the moment. Other than that, the changes are ok. Making the corridors wider was a good idea. But I think some areas are a little too cramped or poorly lit. And they need to fix the ladders!
This is the one time valve updated the game without philip been on vacation
but he made a video on the day of the release, coincidence? or is philip just a valve employee in disguise
@splitzkee_ thats why i didnt say that valve stoped trolling him
Don't worry, it'll be broken and then they will update it while philip on vacation😂
must`ve been a really short one this time :D
True.
The best change is probably the smoke practice mode. This will finally allow me to overcome my lazyness and actually learn smokes.
The smokes are shit tho
yes, finally a standardized way to learn throws without downloading workshop maps riddled with gambling ads
I think they wanna make it new player friendly
