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.
@Lurk Snitchtongue it was, the community post stated first that they would release a new update but then it was quickly changed to say a "seasonal update", so who knows really
Now would be the best time to do it, Blizzard killed OV and OV2 os complete trash, People are finally getting tired of the battle royal format the time is ripe for Valve to revamp its class based shooter
@Auraska Dante Bruh...come on man don't jizz on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting, The game started out as a perfectly balanced hero shooter that was 6v6, Then they started adding too many hybrid characters and the pros figured out that the offensive characters were obsolete and 3 tank 3 healer was the way to go because of the hybrids, At this point the game was broken instead of blizzard acknowledging this they instituted a class lock and the game was instantly dead, OV2 Is even further of a step back because blizzard refused to acknowledge the game play in balance because of the hybrid characters so they shrunk the game to 5V5 and instituted and even harsher class lock, The game is trash now is the perfect time for valve to revamp team fortress
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.
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
It would be cool to have new first person animations for all the weapons in addition to all these upgrades. It would make it feel more like a sequel as well.
Wow, incredible.. hope it stays the same as far as basical-lity, and simple-ness and realistic like its has been over the past cs generations years! its always better like that and its what makes counter strike, counter strike.. Nice valve!
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.
0:24 I can not belive that valve had the village where I live in this map. I was shocked to the bone after seeing this. I just wanted to say one thing, Thanks Valve for this❤
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.
The way this specific CS2 video's music started made me think of the nostalgic and emotional unofficial music of CS1.6's main menu as if its successor now. I hope it's not an old track from CS:CZ and that it will be released.
I remember when the public beta for CS came out. Was a HL mod, fewer than 10 servers, and they were all empty. Rocking a Celeron 300a@450mhz and a Voodoo2. Fun times.
Omg. I’ve been playing since I was 8 years old from the days of CS beta by Gooseman. Now at the age of 32…wow. I love this game so much. The day I get to step into this world in VR is going to be a whole new level of amazement. I hope that happens one day. CS FOREVER!!!
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.
The simpliest and better solution for cs 2 to make the play more active, different and fun is to change the movement - some sort of getting between csgo and cs1.6. In 1.6 it is pretty hard to hit a headshot when the enemy jumping and running at your position. In GO they moving like turtles...
Glad to see that CS evolving. Cool smokes, but on everything else looks like differences between Overwatch 1 and 2 (not much). Thank you, please don't stop.
@Eagle gta doesn’t count, because that game as loads of content, Call of duty players just play the same game over and over again, I don’t need to explain anything because it’s the exact same, COD AND NFS JUST PLAU THE SAME GAME OVER AND OVER THEY SHOULD PLAY SOMETHING NEW WITH LODS OF CONTENT LIKE ESO OR SKYRIM OR OBLIVION
@咕噜 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
I kind of want to see if there are mechanically any real changes or improvements. So far I’m happy that they’re continuing the franchise but it just looks like… a new coat of paint?
Well, "a new coat of paint" is all cs 1.6 need. All i dont want is gameplay change. Cs go and 1.6 gameplay are really not the same at all and lot of people didnt transition on cs go because of that.
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
@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.
@Grimm II I really don't tbh and I didn't even play csgo but this gets me hyped. I mean I don't use map makers really but i know how much enjoyment can be found from playing player made maps.
It should be. Adding to that, certain maps can have different weather to add gameplay dynamics. Either modifying the sound, movement, or god forbid RNG to weapons malfunction. That would be sick.
And considering that Source 2 is a brand spanking new engine, we won't have to worry about map size limitations or loading points ever again like we did with Source 1! Maybe now I can finally see Killzone 2: Source 2 become a Reality or even a revival of Boreal Alyph now that the team doesn't have to worry about Source 1's limitations anymore.
Maps in Source 2 look fantastic but my only concern is that they are not eye friendly. I don't know but I have the feeling that the amount of improvement of visibility (contrast and saturation) and brightness could make me blind. Well, it would be a good time to play in the lowest brightness setting if able hahaha.
Bueno era algo Obvio para su juego competitivo😅 pero ya veremos si se hace realidad las filtraciones y si Val sabe contar hasta 3 o tiene aun amor hacia los fans de sus otros juegos no competitivos Aun asi se aprecia el Cs2❤ aunque no lo juego por que no me pc da para el CSGO igual intente y si me diverti a lo teleport pero me diverti en esos 5 mins de game 😂
I'm excited the CSGO players are getting some love. I don't like this game but as a valorant player I can acknowledge counter strike is the reason I have my game. Goodluck lads! Hope this lives up to what the community wanted :)
@mrSquid_ Its a joke since valve doesn't seem to be able to make anything beyond gameName 2 like portal 2 but no portal 3 or tf2 but no tf3 and half life 2 but no half life 3
On one hand it's more realistic bouncing lighting with more lit up shadows. On the other hand the harder shadows would be more of an artistic choice. Some of the cooler blue areas are now just bland shiny tech demos from an Unreal Engine video.
Heroes virtual awaken, Astonished by the engine, so grand, Long awaited, now reborn, Flashing brightly, Source 2 stands. Legends unfold, excitement grows, In a game world like no other, Finally, mysteries are exposed, Enchanting us, one and all. 3rd era of innovation, a wonder.
I'm so glad to see that the devs aren't afraid to keep what they did well and improve on other things. its an all too common mistake that happens nowadays that devs fuck up something that never needed fixing in the first place and end up making a system or feature worse
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.
Omg the counter strike has moved to a new level! My respect to you, valve company, who does not know counter strike started with a raw quake mod, and now counter strike has become an esports game!
Oh man, I haven't played since 1.6. This was shocking in regards to the amount of memories that flooded my brain. I'm 40. This is a game I played obsessively at 20.
A game that was not even a game in fact , but a custom modification of Hal Life, for almost 25 years ! remains so beloved and popular (although so many "killers" of this game have been announced) I would also compare the CS with a serviceable reliable bike - no need to put the steering wheel from the car on it , lift up the front or rear wheel , swap them or attach additional wheels - just change the chain and bushing , lubricate with oil and update the tires on the wheels - everything is fine
vAlVe WiLl bE mAkIng gAmEs AgAiN Theyre probably just gonna re-release half-life but with the new engine... call it black mesa 2; the gordoning or something
@The Last Knee Bender Nah. Black Mesa is already HL1 remake. I HIGHLY doubt they would re-release a game that was already remade unless they plan on remaking it and taking it a completely different direction.
Gabe: “What number is this one?”
Employee: “Two.”
Gabe: “Okay, yeah, let’s make it.”
This means this is going to be the last Counter Strike 🥲
@BlitzerWolfer what about cs2 episode 1
@Skinnyman More like CS2 Season 1.
It's going to be Counter Strike 2 (1)
@BlitzerWolfer Cs:VR
As a TF2 player, I'm very happy for the CSGO community!
(valve has abandoned us, this is a cry for help)
TF2:Ep1
I can tell you're a TF2 player. You have a TF2 profile picture, a TF2 name, and you said as much.
Wasn't there an announcement for a tf2 content update about a month ago? It was a low key mention in a steam announcement i believe
dont worry valve will soon abandon us since CSGO 2 will probably be the last csgo
@Lurk Snitchtongue it was, the community post stated first that they would release a new update but then it was quickly changed to say a "seasonal update", so who knows really
Employee: "You know, the spring sale ends tomorrow..."
Gabe: "Now's the time."
Be gone bot
It's a free upgrade...
man these bots are everywhere
😂😂
Valve just casually dropping big news quietly like always... and I love it
Because they learned the lessons from Cyberpunk 2077
@Pearloryx annnd half life alyx is dropped via a tweet
This gives me hope that we might get a Team Fortress 2 2
first you should hope for a proper anticheat so its playable in the first place
Now would be the best time to do it, Blizzard killed OV and OV2 os complete trash, People are finally getting tired of the battle royal format the time is ripe for Valve to revamp its class based shooter
@DangleSan ov2 aint that bad tbh
@Auraska Dante Bruh...come on man don't jizz on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting, The game started out as a perfectly balanced hero shooter that was 6v6, Then they started adding too many hybrid characters and the pros figured out that the offensive characters were obsolete and 3 tank 3 healer was the way to go because of the hybrids, At this point the game was broken instead of blizzard acknowledging this they instituted a class lock and the game was instantly dead, OV2 Is even further of a step back because blizzard refused to acknowledge the game play in balance because of the hybrid characters so they shrunk the game to 5V5 and instituted and even harsher class lock, The game is trash now is the perfect time for valve to revamp team fortress
Team Fortress 3?
Valve is the only thing that can make everyone come together and burst with excitement
Yeah, it's like when your dad leaves when your 5, you get so excited to see him when you finally turn 12.
@Jonny pretty much lol
from soft
@CRONGY to hard
Only Valve has the temerity to announce such an anticipated game in the most low key way possible.
Anticipated? Not really, beyond CS:GO community nobody cares
@Pavl the Robot you are simply wrong
@Pavl the Robot the entire Fucking FPS shooter fans are waiting for a good game
@Pavl the Robot i don't really care about cs but you are just coping lmao
@Siddharth Kapoor But that's literally the same game, but made better. It gets boring after years, nothing innovative about this gameplay
I'm just happy to see they're still making games.
Well, facelifting old ones anyway
Bro it’s just an update. It’s not a new game
always have been. they've just been heavily primarily working on source 2.
This is not the same people who made any other valve game....
This is not a new 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
@Kevin De Smet try it the editor of hl:alyx (their phishyc are very cool)
i dont know, im stuck on hammer 3.5 :D
The frag blowing away the smoke is actually crazy
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
It would be cool to have new first person animations for all the weapons in addition to all these upgrades. It would make it feel more like a sequel as well.
valve is slowly becoming a game development company again
incredible
Not really lol. Only when it print them money
They never stopped. Shit just takes time. Valve time.
its cus they finally finished tf3
@theharvinator valve can't count to 3 remember
Yeah its actually called team fortress alyx
I literally spent $3 an hour to play 1.6 at PC BANG for days on end 20 years ago. This made me so nostalgic.
Same man, those were the golden days
u were scammed. i used to pay 1$ for 3 hours
It's amazing how fast time goes by. Seems biblical.
Feel honoured and cherish this because it might be another 20 years before valve drops the next installment.
Next Installment? My good friend, have you ever seen Valve make a game numbered beyond 2?
@Siddharth Bhatia the 3 on valve: 💀💀💀⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️💀💀💀💀💀⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
@Transit Combine easy!! Counter Strike Alyx
@楊輝伯 Before that,
Counter Strike 2 Episode 1 & 2
Counter Strike Condition Zero 2
Counter Strike Condition Zero 2 Episode 1 & 2
Counter Strike Global Offensive 2
Counter Strike Global Offensive 2 Episode 1 & 2
1:38 the fact that this game is going to be completely made by Valve is an absolute yes
Awesome job valve! Please keep content and more games coming
I'm actually exited as not only does this look good but also a possible sequel for other games
The author never disappoints us, he is an incredible content creator and always creates masterpieces.
Its content is amazing. Like
Wow, incredible.. hope it stays the same as far as basical-lity, and simple-ness and realistic like its has been over the past cs generations years! its always better like that and its what makes counter strike, counter strike.. Nice valve!
I like the pastel, soft, and cozy tone of Source 2 graphics so much. Really beautiful and nice graphics.
Been waiting for something like this for a really long time, great to see it finally come
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.
I am so happy I got to experience the internet cafe days. They were the absolute best! Broke my heart when the last one in our town finally closed. 😢
THAT MOLOTOV THO
yes i agree, it looks like free fire garena mobile
папичу понравилось
great comment thanks for sharing
100% that isnt gonna be in the game
Bewora MOLY FUCK
It's not just this innovation that beautifies the models and includes a few effects and a filter added, but the excess is eye-catching!
I think using this engine in CSgo2 is a brand new beginning, and there will be more interesting patterns added in the future.🎉
You gotta appreciate the tenacity to always make sure your people want to get your next game, even if I haven't played counter strike in years
Nice to have Italy back, i hope the map has its place in the competitive scene since this was my favorite map back in the old CS
0:24 I can not belive that valve had the village where I live in this map. I was shocked to the bone after seeing this. I just wanted to say one thing, Thanks Valve for this❤
What?
@cr1tikal The place that I live in was in the map in the video
@Pog you live in italy?
@cr1tikal probably lubon, komorniki or Czapury, im from Komorniki :D
Luboń pozdrawia
What a baller move, no announcements no promotional just drop the clips and watch the masses drop to their knees.
The knees are kneeling on their own!
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.
Why is this? this looks disgusting!
@Puro Tranime + puccian = trash opinion.
Я поражён,новая графика,спецэффекты,это просто прорыв для компании Valve
The way this specific CS2 video's music started made me think of the nostalgic and emotional unofficial music of CS1.6's main menu as if its successor now. I hope it's not an old track from CS:CZ and that it will be released.
I remember when the public beta for CS came out. Was a HL mod, fewer than 10 servers, and they were all empty. Rocking a Celeron 300a@450mhz and a Voodoo2. Fun times.
I've started Counter Strike at the 1.1 beta version. When I played for the first time, I knew that today this game would still be there.
Omg. I’ve been playing since I was 8 years old from the days of CS beta by Gooseman. Now at the age of 32…wow. I love this game so much. The day I get to step into this world in VR is going to be a whole new level of amazement. I hope that happens one day. CS FOREVER!!!
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
Source 2's Hammer has existed for a very long time but yeah, it's by far the best level editor in any game engine
What I like about this is that we might get access to an sdk without needing to own a VR headset for the game it's from
@James TDG I really doubt they're ever going to release the SDK. These are just modding tools
csgo 2023= money
other csgo = more money
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.
I'm just happy that another competitive game will be enjoyable not only mechanically, but also visually.
The simpliest and better solution for cs 2 to make the play more active, different and fun is to change the movement - some sort of getting between csgo and cs1.6. In 1.6 it is pretty hard to hit a headshot when the enemy jumping and running at your position. In GO they moving like turtles...
Amazing. Keep it up Valve. We have been waiting to see what you are made of for a very long time.
Glad to see that CS evolving. Cool smokes, but on everything else looks like differences between Overwatch 1 and 2 (not much). Thank you, please don't stop.
I have played CS since 1.5 which is since the late 1990’s. I am so glad that Counter-Strike still lives today!
Not only that it still lives today, but it is the most played game in Steam!
Born too late to explore earth, born too early to explore the galaxy, but born at the right time to witness CS2
Yooo
@pgN LETS GOOOOOOOOO
Just imagine CS3 😳😳
@Cannellino Brillantino u will need to wait 20more years xd
damn that's crazy, the graphics leap from Counter Strike 1.6 to Counter Strike 2 is huge!
Yeah no shit it's 20+ years apart.
@huehuebrbr r/whoosh
@huehuebrbr valve time ⚰️👍
@ShaolinDave McAlias you should k
Yet even this still looks out of date
Awesome game on their time... I miss this game... Gonna play again soon
Literally been dreaming about this for so long. Never in my life have I been this excited for a game
But Counter Strike is just playing the same game over and over, but in ESO there is loads of content.
@咕噜 explain that to gta, nfs, call of duty players
@Eagle gta doesn’t count, because that game as loads of content,
Call of duty players just play the same game over and over again, I don’t need to explain anything because it’s the exact same,
COD AND NFS JUST PLAU THE SAME GAME OVER AND OVER THEY SHOULD PLAY SOMETHING NEW WITH LODS OF CONTENT LIKE ESO OR SKYRIM OR OBLIVION
@咕噜 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
@Yuri old55 no I was talking about eso not Skyrim
Very excited about the italy overhaul! Hoping Italy is getting back to competetive! 🥳
It ain't cs italy without Pavarotti singing
Let’s hope those legendary graffiti is still there. Those are icons of many beautiful Esport moments during the franchise history.
Finally, another series of Valve can be assigned to the series that do not yet have a third part.
And when they run out of sequels.
..
Counterstrike: Alyx
Isn't cs go the third counterstrike,? Lol
Huh?
@sycoraz Half-Life 2: Episode One is also the third Half-Life game, not counting Gearbox expansions.
Next up: Ricochet 2.
With my 16 hours in csgo and 600 hours in Pavlov + many other games, I find these maps very acceptable
I kind of want to see if there are mechanically any real changes or improvements. So far I’m happy that they’re continuing the franchise but it just looks like… a new coat of paint?
Well, "a new coat of paint" is all cs 1.6 need. All i dont want is gameplay change. Cs go and 1.6 gameplay are really not the same at all and lot of people didnt transition on cs go because of that.
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.
Valve never cease to amaze
id like to see maps that require NV goggles. or at least an option for night and day for every map.
Having a map maker on release is insane and will be so nice!
Its hammer 2, CS has always had a map editor "built in"
@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.
So hyped for all the old source map makers to come back!! Its gonna be insane!!
@Grimm II I really don't tbh and I didn't even play csgo but this gets me hyped. I mean I don't use map makers really but i know how much enjoyment can be found from playing player made maps.
Grimm II half life alyx and dota 2 reborn came out without full hammer 2 or workshop support
Если в игре реально будет такая графика, то я просто обкончаюсь от радости! Это очень круто!
This is so cool to see my favorite game with such precision and magnificence
But what I want and what all Valve followers want is Half-Life 3
Gabe: "Well we are done with this game, what number has next game on the list"
Employeer: "One, Day of defeat one"
Gabe: "let's make this game"
Damn bro, I really hope they make an another Day of Defeat, i love this game...
Looks good! Please make new models for the guns it would really feel more fresh.
I can’t believe I still love this game as much as I did as a high school student 24 years ago lol 😂
I wonder if you're gonna be able to see players in certain reflections. That'd be sick and totally brings a new element to tactics
Риви уходит с канала😭...
uaclips.com/video/1CtM1eWnk5c/відео.html
It should be. Adding to that, certain maps can have different weather to add gameplay dynamics. Either modifying the sound, movement, or god forbid RNG to weapons malfunction. That would be sick.
I dont think it uses raytracing so you wont see players in the reflections. The reflections seem to be standard SSAO
Only possible with ray tracing
This needs to be on console. It would make so much money and there wouldn't be a reason not too.
The community developed content will be DOPE! Hope valve make it open source for creators
And considering that Source 2 is a brand spanking new engine, we won't have to worry about map size limitations or loading points ever again like we did with Source 1!
Maybe now I can finally see Killzone 2: Source 2 become a Reality or even a revival of Boreal Alyph now that the team doesn't have to worry about Source 1's limitations anymore.
Maps in Source 2 look fantastic but my only concern is that they are not eye friendly. I don't know but I have the feeling that the amount of improvement of visibility (contrast and saturation) and brightness could make me blind. Well, it would be a good time to play in the lowest brightness setting if able hahaha.
Bueno era algo Obvio para su juego competitivo😅 pero ya veremos si se hace realidad las filtraciones y si Val sabe contar hasta 3 o tiene aun amor hacia los fans de sus otros juegos no competitivos
Aun asi se aprecia el Cs2❤ aunque no lo juego por que no me pc da para el CSGO igual intente y si me diverti a lo teleport pero me diverti en esos 5 mins de game 😂
I'm excited the CSGO players are getting some love. I don't like this game but as a valorant player I can acknowledge counter strike is the reason I have my game.
Goodluck lads! Hope this lives up to what the community wanted :)
Guess we’ll soon have another series to add to the list of long awaited trilogies!
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero would like a word
arent there like 10 counterstrike games? not in that community but still
@mrSquid_ Its a joke since valve doesn't seem to be able to make anything beyond gameName 2 like portal 2 but no portal 3 or tf2 but no tf3 and half life 2 but no half life 3
Yep
@Ravioli Almost all thier mainline are counting to 2, maybe?👀
This might be the only game where people get excited seeing old map get rereleased .
And Smash
I can say that the maps look way better in my opinion, i wonder how the rest of the community reacts to it..
On one hand it's more realistic bouncing lighting with more lit up shadows.
On the other hand the harder shadows would be more of an artistic choice.
Some of the cooler blue areas are now just bland shiny tech demos from an Unreal Engine video.
After 10 years without a sequel of csgo, we have it. I hope it will be good........ right?
Please give TF2 the same love Valve! A lot of people still care about that game as well!
Heroes virtual awaken,
Astonished by the engine, so grand,
Long awaited, now reborn,
Flashing brightly, Source 2 stands.
Legends unfold, excitement grows,
In a game world like no other,
Finally, mysteries are exposed,
Enchanting us, one and all.
3rd era of innovation, a wonder.
Awesome! Hopefully this will lead us to Team Fortress 3, Left 4 Dead 3, and most importantly Half-Life 3, which is what we really want
(You forgot Portal 3 :))
@CatsInBed portal 3 will break the lore, unless they change the main character
@Kazembek Gaming Ah right, but hear me out: Portal...Alyx. I mean, not Alyx of course but a prequel might be the solution 😄
huge props for keeping the old maps
C’mon Valve, drop us a bigger tease of info. I want a 10+ minute long video sharing some juicy details.
I always get happy to see CS getting updated and new versions but every time this happen i play less cuz of my computer...
ive never felt this level of excitement since i was a kid. Thank you gabe
Your life sounds kinda sad 💀
What I feel right now, is the same feeling when CSGO was announced
@Alan Brito Let people be happy man
@Fiftyy it is kinda sad tho
@Axe yoo same
As an old 1.6 and Source player that didn't play much CS:GO, I'm back. Haven't been this excited for Counter-Strike since the 90's/2000's.
I wonder if they're gonna make a tf3 and lfd3? Or maybe make an option to play TF2 and lfd2 on source two. That'd be interesting.
Dear Valve, bring back shields, boosts, and team collision. They are essentials for skill building.
I'm so glad to see that the devs aren't afraid to keep what they did well and improve on other things. its an all too common mistake that happens nowadays that devs fuck up something that never needed fixing in the first place and end up making a system or feature worse
they made the game look so beautiful 😭 might get me to try CS...
That grenade effect blowing away the smoke is going to be a game changer.
like... literally
and it looks like you can even shoot holes in the smoke now. Going to change CS :D
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.
its good now u can check by grande if smokes are thrown for fake push or real push
When Half Life 3 finally drops, it's gonna look absolutely stunning.
PBR in Counter Strike? What a time to be alive!
I can look at puddle reflections while getting shot.
"The valves been stuck corroded by the money but after many years we can't believe the engine started running this time he's bound to count to three"
These trailers really remind me of the old Black Ops 2 DLC trailers and I love it.
Omg the counter strike has moved to a new level! My respect to you, valve company, who does not know counter strike started with a raw quake mod, and now counter strike has become an esports game!
Oh man, I haven't played since 1.6. This was shocking in regards to the amount of memories that flooded my brain. I'm 40. This is a game I played obsessively at 20.
Now we are old its not the same anymore
@Robson Robbi maybe not but the memories are vivid as faaaak
@Robson Robbi nothing is the same after 20 years, that doesnt mean its worse and you can still enjoy it tho
Same. Played with 56k modem and 180 ms ping was considered good.
Really excited about this, maybe they are secretly working on a TF3 or L4D3, or HL3 even, who knows?
Don't get your hopes up the leak is the last tf content
A game that was not even a game in fact , but a custom modification of Hal Life, for almost 25 years ! remains so beloved and popular (although so many "killers" of this game have been announced)
I would also compare the CS with a serviceable reliable bike - no need to put the steering wheel from the car on it , lift up the front or rear wheel , swap them or attach additional wheels - just change the chain and bushing , lubricate with oil and update the tires on the wheels - everything is fine
11 years apart, but looks rly dope
This is gonna be the final Counter Strike, because we all know Valve can't count to 3.
Not a CS player but I'm still excited for 2 reasons:
1. More Source 2
2. Valve be making games again
Exactly

Theyre probably just gonna re-release half-life but with the new engine... call it black mesa 2; the gordoning or something
@The Last Knee Bender Nah. Black Mesa is already HL1 remake. I HIGHLY doubt they would re-release a game that was already remade unless they plan on remaking it and taking it a completely different direction.
@The Last Knee Bender Of they are gonna make a Half Life game why would they remake HL1 when they already have black mesa, they'd work on HL3
its an update not a game
You know what would actually make this hype? A single shot of 2fort
Valve releasing a first-party game? Heck yes!
CS is already classic. Now look at this… Incredible!
as someone whos familiar with art and design this is very good approach good job
Counter Strike 2 needs way more maps. Remember how many cool maps Counter Strike 1.6 had?
Wow, the finale to the highly-acclaimed Counter-Strike series.

Everybody sad till Counter Strike 2.6 💀
Well, there will probably be CS2 episode 1 and 2. Maybe even a VR version years later.

@Marko Counter Strike VR actually sounds amazing. Like Pavlov but with actual CS weapon skins and maps
