CS 2 vs CS Source - Details and Physics Comparison (Part 2)

The best comparison between the two games Counter Strike 2 or CS2 (2023) and Counter Strike: Source or CS Source (2004), I will compare the most important similarities, physics, details, textures and special places in the game. The entire video was created by myself (GameLight).
In the second part, the videos, will showcase and compare the new details between CS 2 and the significantly older game, CS Source. If you haven't watched the first part, be sure to check it out, I'll leave the link below.

CS 1.6: GTA 3, VC, SA CSS: GTA 4 CSGO: GTA V CS2: GTA V PS5/XSERIES KKKKKKKK 😂 (WITH GRAPHICS THE HALF-LIFE ALYX).

[@m.n.s.s2825]

CSS will always be best CS in terms of physics interactions, But the Con of it was Playerbase didn't like the Over the top Physics which was too detailed but same time bad for visibility and competitive integrity. Thats why CSS was least popular than 1.6 and CSGO.....So valve was trying to follow 1.6 and CSGO rather than CSS.....CSS will be always be coolest CS to look at but worst in terms of competitive gameplay. It's just bittersweet

[@GameLight]

I agree 100%, the main thing I'm glad is that Valve is trying to please us players, the style of CS Souce is gloomy, maybe it repels the players, but I can definitely say that Valve knows what they are doing.

[@trollpolice3_]

I mean no one really played cs source for competitive. Most were in for Zombies Jailbreak surfing etc

[@volox5586]

Да

[@christiansmemefactory1513]

Most of the playerbase stayed on 1.6 because it was easier to run than the Source engine. Most people played public servers and didn't give a shit about competitive. CSS was more popular than 1.6 in terms of overall players when CSGO was released (Richard Lewis confirms this).

[@m.n.s.s2825]

@@christiansmemefactory1513 Who's Richard Lewis ? Till 2012 all major Counter strike Pro Scene like ESP/CPL was playing 1.6. it was Counter strike's default pro scene before CSGO. 1.6 was much more popular till date. Even in steam we see 1.6 has more player than CSS. Again who is this Lewis guy ?

[@Hostile2430]

I think Valve sacrificed physics in CS2 to get maximum performance and stability If they brought back those features from CSS then the game wouldn't run at over 500 fps

[@GameLight]

Well, as I see it, valve is trying to add physics that will not interfere with the esports aspect, of course, if there are a lot of physics, it is unlikely that people will have a normal fps.

[@nohi9290]

They took away physics because there is literally no need for physics in a competitive game

[@rekamud6635]

@@GameLight The argument is not right, normal fps with a l o t m o re physics, is easy to achieve... Esports is a big biz. However, they are trying to make the SHOOTERgame more CHILDfriendly. if you understand what I mean.

[@hesitatenothing]

We have devices that should be good enough to run games on high fps even with a lot of small details and physics

[@BigSavageG]

BS, nowadays computers don't have problems with such calculation if computers back in 2004-2005 could do them.

[@theprinceofdarkness3250]

A very nice thing that Valve could do to please *EVERY* player is to add something like two game modes. One would contain all the maps made to be "competetive" and the other containing the same maps but with physics and more details.

[@semih24]

CS:S = Physics Realism CS2 = Better Graphics CS:S + CS2 = Counter Strike Source 2 = Better graphics and realism i want this! Valve please make this.

Sorry but that will not gonna happen though. 🙃🙃

[@trungaspha98]

CS: S is has a Physics Realism CS 2 is has a bad Physic GTA IV has a realistic physic GTA V is so real but not real physic

[@theprinceofdarkness3250]

Modern day Valve since the release of CS:GO have become greedy bastards who won't do anything for the community if it's not going to make them big profits. With a tiny exception being Half-Life Alyx... Very similar to Rockstar who after the boom that GTA Online made in 2015 stopped caring about their community and kept and kept milking GTA Online to this very day. A rare exception being releasing Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@tiled_]

cs2 has a better physics engine it just doesn't utilize it

[@hesitatenothing]

The actual Problem ppl had with CSS, was the Recoil of the weapons. It felt too easy to hit someone and HS tap. Also the Barrels that interrupted your movements. Ppl never had a problem with the ragdolls or details in it. Maybe it's hard for computers to perform well with CS 2 graphics containing all these details aswell.

[@naruephon]

I believe that CS 2 and CSGO are what we see because Valve has to adjust the game to support Esports competition more.

[@hesitatenothing]

It's just shame that cs 1.6 was for competition and for fun. Now CSGO is just for competitions

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="38">0:38</a> This sound of alarm reminded me project IGI.Counter versions are also great.

[@Hjallapenos]

Some stuff would be cool in CS2. Like the fire extinguisher would be cool so map makers could strategically place them for use in competitive play. More water physics/interactions would also be cool without disturbing the competitiveness. And a bit more interactive things, like, I understand that you can't move chairs and bigger objects anymore, but shooting down paintings or having the bomb explosion actually explode something would be nice. Bring more life to the game, but without ruining the fps and competitiveness ofc, but I think it's doable with source 2.

[@GameLight]

It would be really interesting to see some aspects of CS: Source in CS2. I don't think it would be difficult for map developers to add features to the game, such as sirens in Nuke. I've noticed that the developers pay great attention to detail and try to implement interesting features, but sometimes they prioritize esports over player feedback.

[@aegyobot1923]

the game needs way more water and maybe some floating objects which could be used to jump across mid

[@Chopper153]

Definitely possible. Fire extinguishers can be a one time smoke each round (with a smaller coverage area). Ecos and force buys will be interesting.

[@Cooperal]

I am surprised the paintings can't be shot down. You can shoot down pretty much all of them on the new Inferno.

[@GameLight]

CS2 is more like combining Team Fortress and CS GO into one game. You’re welcome, thanks for watching the video friend !

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

This is a good demonstration of the tradeoff games (not just CS) have seen in the last decade or two where, because so much time and effort has to go into making environments so detailed and ornate, not as much effort ends up going into extra interactive features/touches. Generating and detailing environments was obviously less hassle and probably a lot more fun back in the 90's and early 2000's, which allowed for more creativity and less burnout, allowing for such features, because it was literally just a matter of "eh, why not, won't take long". Nowadays, of course, generating game environments probably comes across as a daunting task fueled by high expectations, higher ups breathing down the developer's necks, and tight deadlines. As a result, no one has the time, energy, or interest in adding those sorts of features anymore.

[@Shobi_1997]

For other games yes but that's not the reason for counter strike games because these features get in the way of a competitive aspect of the game that's why it's best not to meddle with

[@Cooperal]

It is well known that the physics were stripped down after CSS for competitive integrity. It is all well and good if a rogue barrel is all it takes to block off a sight line or a nade throw in some chaotic casual game, but this is an eSport. Sports and messy inconsistent variables don't gel well together.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

@@Cooperal Fun fact: Physics are not the only form of interactivity and are not exclusively what I was referring to, nor were they the only thing featured in the video. They're also not the only things in existence. Hope this helps!
