Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Fatty Cat, Xiaoxing _ 14, 0x33c, DynamIK, SkyTeam, ZERO_A_ONE, Lengpao Lime, Coje_He, FinnHiram, zwh3480, BlackWinds for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com March 23 news, Valve today officially announced the "counter-terrorism elite" series of orthodox new sequel-"Counter-Strike 2". The new work, developed with the Origin 2 (Source2) engine, will be officially launched this summer, and "CS:GO" players will receive a free upgrade as a free alternative to CS:GO.

Valve said that closed-end limited testing of CS2 began today, which officials described as "a complete overhaul of every system, every content, and every part of the CS experience." According to reports, the quota will gradually increase during the closed test period, which is mainly related to the recent official server playing time, reputation points, account duration and so on.

All in all, the new work has made changes to the smoke system, lighting, water, particle effects will also change, and accessories visual effects, UI will also usher in optimization. Most importantly, the V Society has introduced a mechanism called "sub-refresh rate" to greatly enhance the game experience.

(note: "sub-refresh rate" is the refresh technology of the server. The delay between the server tick and the player operation can be avoided by subdividing the tick. This technology has nothing to do with the refresh rate of the player's display device.)

V Society first introduced the three new features of this work: the Sub-tick delay compensation system, the new dynamic smoke system, and the upgraded, modified and reproduced map. Players' CS:GO inventory will be synchronized into Anti-Terrorism Elite 2. All accessories will match the lighting and material effects of Origin 2.

It starts this summer.

COUNTER-STRIKE

The next era of Counter-Strike 2 shows the biggest technological leap in the history of Counter-Strike, and new features and updates will be guaranteed over the next few years.

When the game is announced this summer, all the new features of the game will be revealed one by one. The road to Counter-Strike 2 begins with today's CS2 limited edition test. During this test, we will evaluate the new features of CS2 and hope to optimize them before the global release.

This summer, CS:GO will have a smooth transition and upgrade to Counter-Strike 2 for free. So wipe the gun and get ready to play, hone your skills, and get ready for the game update.

Qualitative leap: a brand-new map

All maps are completely rebuilt from scratch, taking full advantage of the tools and rendering capabilities of all the new Origin 2 engines.

Upgrade the map

These maps use the new Origin 2 lighting, including a physical rendering-based system that produces realistic materials, lighting, and reflections.

Touchstone map

Classic maps with a solid foundation that players can use to evaluate changes in game play from CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2. The map has improved in terms of lighting and role understanding, but nothing else has changed.

Moving beyond refresh frequency: WYSIWYG

Moving, shooting, or throwing is no longer hindered by the refresh rate. The update rate of sub-refresh is the core of Counter-Strike 2. In the past, servers only evaluated the world at discrete intervals (called ticks). Thanks to the sub-refresh frequency update architecture of Counter-Strike 2, the server knows the exact moment when the movement begins, the shot is fired, or the throwing object is thrown.

As a result, regardless of the refresh rate, your movement and shooting will have the same response, and your projectile will always land in the same way.

Responsive smoke: those who break the pattern

Smoke bombs are now three-dimensional dynamic objects that interact with the environment and react to light, shootings and explosions.

The method of playing games

Smoke can now interact with other game behaviors and events, creating new opportunities. Bullets and high-explosive grenades can push smoke, briefly clear the line of sight or aggravate the sound cage effect.

Naturally expand and fill the space

Now, smoke seeps from everywhere, including open doors, broken windows, up and down stairs. And it will spread to the promenade and combine with other smoke.

Light response

In Counter-Strike 2, smoke particles interact with an integrated lighting system to achieve more realistic light and color effects.

Your items will have a whole new display effect and your entire CS:GO inventory will be brought into Counter-Strike 2. Not only will you keep every item you have collected over the years, but these items will benefit from the lighting and texture effects of Origin 2.

In addition to supporting legacy models and weapon skins, all weapons in stock have taken on a new look, with high-definition models, and some weapon skins benefit from these new models.

High-quality visual effects from the interface to the game play, all visual effects have been redefined. All visual effects in Counter-Strike 2 have been updated. With the lighting and particle system of Origin 2, water, explosion, fire, smoke, muzzle flame, tracer projectiles, impact effects and so on have a new appearance and performance.

Visualization of game playing

In Counter-Strike 2, the most critical game visual effects have been redesigned to take readability into account. The impact of the bullet can be easily seen from a distance, and the directed blood effect (dissipating over time) will give you more information as you move through the map.

Environmental effect

Experience completely redone explosion, fire, C4 lighting, etc. The visual fidelity and consistency of Counter-Strike 2 environmental effects are improved by using Origin 2 engine and advanced hardware.

User interface optimization

The user interface in Counter-Strike 2 has been completely refurbished, including new visual effects. These improvements not only look good, but also convey important game status.

Precise sound effects rework, rebalance, re-reverberation

The sound effects in Counter-Strike 2 have been remade to better reflect the physical environment, make it more unique and convey more game state. At the same time, the sound effects are rebalanced in order to get a more comfortable auditory experience.
