It's CS:GO Jim, but not as we know it.
Valve announced Counter-Strike 2 at the start of this year and has been running it in a limited beta ever since, swapping 1-2 maps at a time, adding isolated features, and generally withholding the full package that it unveiled yesterday. That limited rollout made it hard to get a handle on just how different it's going to feel from CS:GO, but now we have no option. When CS2 went live, CS:GO became a beta branch on Steam .
My first games in CS2 proper, having played it a fair amount in beta, were nothing like moving from Halo 2 to Halo 3, fundamentally different multiplayer experiences. Instead it almost feels more like a director's cut or a definitive version of something you've been playing for years .
While the bullet hole effect is beautiful to look at and can provide a split-second of vision, the combination of smokes and high explosive grenades is a genuinely new element to the game . This gives HE grenades a new form of utility, and vice-versa one decoy smoke can now bait several frag grenades from the defenders.
A big disappointment for me is the absence of Arms Race, one of many community modes that became popular enough to be adopted by Valve and incorporated into CS:GO as an official mode. CS:GO had a whole bunch of secondary modes like this which haven't made the initial cut, but Arms Race was my warmup: You chase kills over multiple rounds, and each kill upgrades your weapon for the next.
