It's always amazing to me as an old beta-1.5 player how smokes are used so competitively now - it's good to see. Back in my day they were so utterly useless and hopeless that they were never used; they were only ever bought to decoy a flash (post-Heaton/Element incident), by accident or as a joke. Breaking through choke points was far more difficult back then without the cover of smokes.

[@joel5451]

Saw everything as a great improvement! My onlyyyyy small itch is with the Bomb detonation in CS2, visually the explosion looks nice, but it doesn't feel as destructive as csgo where there's a ton of black smoke, the terrain and camera shakes. If they could add some more to it, or even have assets break or move with the explosion, it'd be amazing. But everything else was very stellar, a well needed improvement to visuals and added game features/mechanics!

4:15 as someone who has done unity shader dev stuff, this is pretty damn cool. I think the smoke is volumetric and not just a texture, but getting it to block out the sun is cool. I'm also curious if it adds to the shadow map to cast shadows. I'd imagine that would be quite a performance hit though, maybe not if someone smart made it lol. These effects with smoke are really "easy" with raytracing rendering but not so much with rasterization.

Honestly some things look cartoonish in CS2, like the smoke, and the lighting in some instances (such as when he inspects the AK). The graphics may be an improvement but to me it isn’t a full improvement

[@fetusman2248]

CS:GO looks much darker and duller and cs2 looks a a lot brighter and is a lot more arcadey.

looks quite fun honestly. cartoony but not ridiculous, and the lighting looks way better

@@fetusman2248 yes i think only changing the lighting would do most of it. thats why i love bf4 its almost grey
