The update to CS2 was released today! And this news shook the whole community! Everyone was waiting for the update, including the blix.gg team.
This article will comment on the primary and most essential changes in CS2 in 2024!
Highlights
- An overview of the most critical changes in the CS2 update
- Detailed information about what the update will bring to players and what its main advantages are
Zeus
The Olympus skin for Zeus is undoubtedly good, but even better is that the weapon is no longer disposable.
Previously, players could only use Zeus once per round unless someone gave them another one, but now developers made Zeus reusable in all game modes, and it takes 30 seconds to reload. Zeus is a very effective weapon and can neutralize the enemy with a single blow! Just think how many advantages players get and how much money you can save!
And given that the game has returned to the “Arms Race” mode from CS:GO, you can already imagine how interesting the battles will be.
Recall the essence of the mode “Arms Race” – participating in such matches, players will receive weapons after killing opponents, and the victory counts for the one who first kills the opponent with a knife or stun gun Zeus x27.
And this is just the first excellent news of this update!
Gameplay
The new update has made the gameplay even better! Various adjustments to sub-tick shooting have been introduced, allowing player actions between ticks to be processed. We can assume that overall play will improve and shooting will become more accurate. Isn’t this great news for a shooter?
The “Refund All” button will allow you to sell everything that the player bought with one button – now the problem of selling only one item at a time is gone for good.
Sound
The sound settings have also undergone some changes. Along with the replaced sound effects, there are some more weighty changes.
Changing the threshold of the microphone will allow you not to shout into it but to adjust it so that it is well heard, even if the player does not speak very loudly.
It is now possible to hear your voice in the microphone. In addition, the ability to choose an audio input device for calls will make the game more comfortable.
They fixed a bug that caused some sounds to be perceived as coming from behind the player, which was a nice bonus. Now, you don’t have to turn around whenever you hear a vague rustle.
Networking
Even bigger news is reduced peeker’s advantage in many cases! This means that the game has become even more balanced. Now, all players will get an equal chance to win. There is a chance that now you won’t be destroyed by every player running out of the corner.
They added the console command cl_ticktiming to the game, which collects a report indicating various sources of latency. The player will be able to figure out what the latency problem is and fix it faster.
MISC
The most exciting change in this block is adjusting the CS2 rating range that allows players to play together in Premier mode. If previously players with very high ratings could not play with players with low ratings, now everything has changed.
But improving animation and getting rid of jittering is also a plus for Valve’s piggy bank.
Summary
Of course, these are not all the changes from the big update to CS2, but they are the most important and will affect the game the most. You can read the entire patch note here.
You’ll also be happy to know that agents with a unique greeting animation at the end of the match now have a fantastic defeat animation. The animation will make the game even more beautiful and spectacular.
Valve has also added a reward system for those who farm XP – the “XP Overload” status. The status lasts a minimum of one week and can be updated repeatedly every week.
