The summer of 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting one for video game fans! The reason? The arrival of Counter Strike 2, the sequel to the famous competitive FPS developed by Valve, at a date still undetermined on PC. Based on the CS:GO version, the game will be available for free and will introduce many improvements, both technical and graphical. According to official sources, a beta version is already available to a few lucky people.
Counter Strike 2 will be released as a free update for CS:GO. The game will benefit from significant graphical improvements, including Source 2, Valve's internal graphics rendering engine. The game's maps will also have been reworked and the equipment modernized. One of the major innovations concerns smoke grenades, which will now be dynamic volumetric objects that interact with the environment, as our colleagues from Les Numériques explain.
A new version of the game that will serve as a basis for the development of the software for years to come. Among the improvements announced, we note the disappearance of the tickrate, replaced by the "subticks" for an even better responsiveness:"Counter-Strike 2 has been designed to greatly reduce the time between the realization of an action and the taking into account of the latter," explains Valve. He continues:"Thanks to the updated architecture enabled by Counter-Strike 2, and the use of "subticks", the server now knows the exact moment of a move, a shot or a grenade throw.
Source 2 tools and features will also be made available to map creators, allowing for greater customization and sharing within the community. In short, a new and improved experience for fans of the popular FPS! Get ready to play!
