Better mapping tools is also a big part of it. The version of hammer used for csgo mapping until now is barely different from the original release of source hammer in 2004 which itself was barely different from hammer/worldcraft for hl1. The HL:A version of hammer is a lot more capable and I assume CS2 will use basically the same thing.

The goldsource hammer was fine when mapping was basically drawing rectangles and putting textures on them but god has modern mapping looked painful on the source version. There's a reason literally everything in the new maps is just a custom model.

I have a large skin collection and I am ashamed of it. I might do an effort post if a new thread goes up to explain skins and how to sell that $800 knife you got years ago for cash.

How likely is the tick change something like the fighting games genre's rollback netcode?

Where it's an algo extrapolation of player trends and tendencies that corrects itself if it guessed wrong?

from the hacker news discussion:

Hacker News posted:

Sub-tick updates sound to me like they're still using a tick rate system, but specific CBasePlayer mechanisms will now undergo interpolation using UserCmd timestamps alongside their rewind buffer to understand specifically where you were during gameplay as opposed to looking backwards in the rewind buffer and not making interpolated calculations based on timestep.

There is still an upperbound where additional granular game states don't occur and that upperbound is based on framerate, afaiu.

We use a similar system in Planimeter Game Engine 2D.[1]

Planimeter engineers are former Source Engine developers.

From the official announcement site:

  • Map changes - some like Dust2 are pretty much direct ports, some like Nuke have been given a visual upgrade, and some like Overpass and Italy have been completely rebuilt.
  • All weapon models have been rebuilt in a higher resolution.
  • Redone VFX - bullet impacts are more visible, blood sprays realistically onto surfaces and fades/dries over time, etc.
  • Sounds reworked and rebalanced to be more distinct and better reflect the world around them.
  • New editor tools that aren't from 1995!
  • "Much more to come" in "just a few months". Exactly what is unclear, but there's an unused CSS class in the website code for a section relating to anti-cheat...

They should have had them as gear and face, like the vest, and face. But otherwise have lady cop be Israeli, GIGN, GSG9, whatever it is at any given time, so that the overall theme of skins stays the same for identification and consistency.

not sure how i feel about this

e: man sometimes discord videos embed and sometimes they don't. this is showing off the new 'crosshair follows actual recoil' feature

on the one hand cs's weird recoil is definitely a huge and frustrating barrier for new players so adding this would definitely help newbies

on the other hand we all had to suffer through it through sheer determination so the other scrubs should have to suffer too :argh:

This seems like it's a good tool to learn the spread of the different guns but would be horribly distracting otherwise.
