@@bengregg2632 aiming with a slight one already sucks. It makes flicking when someone is at the edge of your scope harder. Also scopes irl dont really have the fisheye effect.

[@wingiu5695]

Thats the lows that they're going after

[@ambhaiji]

Edit: The video already says this 5950x has two chiplets merged for cores and the transfer rate between them is relatively horrendous so it makes gaming frames shit. But it's good for other things.

[@brutalni1]

its not that strange when you consider that the game is made by a small indie studio that just simply does not have time and resources to ascertain and try to fix and optimize the game to the fullest. This is why we as a community need to keep buying the cool looking color skins for weapons to support them ! :)

[@LZ_Protogen]

its the 500x3d, slightly better performance, no major change though

[@MirelRC]

@@ambhaiji same it is for the 5900x. It has 2 CCD's with 8 cores each but with 2 disabled cores on each‚ so 5900x has a total of 12 cores with 6 on each CCD. Those 12 cores will have the exact same way of working like on on 5950x.

[@JarrettMvM]

They want smth like an operation, not necessarily changes

[@michaeljonathan9715]

They probably want a brand new operation and definitely an anticheat which take 10000 hours of quality work to do and a f---ing SWAT team to search and destroy cheater's home in a day so cheaters can't create/buy indefinite amount of new account & PC if they are in jail. Not fix game breaking bug or change sniper scope that require obviously less work and no SWAT team.

[@slendydie1267]

to be fair to those people. It is not good content. It's also nowhere near as important as adding cache to the map pool. fisheye is the woirst thing in sniper there are engineers that worked so they can avoid that. No idea why they would add it. Its no prettier it just messes with your flicks a bit. The viewbob is whatever change dont care about it.

Valve did changes that nobody demanded... I don't care about the new scope effect and that is the problem. Valve wastes so much time and resources on things that the community doesn't care about.

[@AveryChow]

I love how caboosing fills me with an unexplainable sense of dread and feer

[@Saagster]

2:25 With the deathmatch Zeus update, it's now theoretically possible to get the highest ever DM score. Since the points add up after every consecutive kill, you can get tons of points. Math goes like this: Time in deathmatch -> 10 minutes Zeus recharge rate -> 30 seconds Zeus kills per DM -> 20 kills First kill (0 seconds into DM) -> 15 points Second kill -> 15+15=30 points ... Last kill (21st kill on exact last second) -> 15x21=315 points You add all the kills up (15+30+45...) you get total of 3465 points. Practical maximum score would be 20 kills, since you won't be able to get a kill on 0 seconds and when DM ends (exactly on the 10 minute timer) before last kill registers (21st kill). So new maximum score in DM with zeus kills only, and no deaths would be 20 kills, 0 deaths, and with score of 3150 points. Additional facts: If you wanted to beat the 3150 point record, there is a way. You need 158 knife kills (or more) in 10 minutes to beat it, since knife kills give you 20 points per kill.

[@cademckee7276]

Well technically couldn’t you get even more because you can still kill players with your other weapons while the Zeus recharges.

[@Saagster]

@@cademckee7276 Actually, yes, you are correct. Didn't even think about that. Score could be over 4000 then.

I like all the changes. Its CS2, its been 11 years of CSGO, time for some change. I'd like to see new animations for the guns as well. Hoping for an economy tweak with MR12, and some new weapons and equipment to shake the game up. It would also be cool to have the bomb zone destroyed when it goes off, like Team Fortress 2 did with Payload maps. Not every option needs an on/off switch, some of these minor changes I can't believe people are whinging about.
