  • Improved sound – the sounds for Counter-Strike 2 have been redesigned: they now convey the environment better, are more distinguishable, and give more information.
  • Updated skins – All of your favorite skins from CS:GO will not only stay with you in Counter-Strike 2, but also become more beautiful thanks to the way Source 2 works with lighting and materials.
  • Sub-tick Structure – Moving, shooting, and throwing are no longer dependent on the server’s tikret refresh, making gameplay more responsive and smooth.

Counter-Strike 2 retains the classic gameplay of the series, but with improvements and innovations that make it even more exciting and interesting.

Smoke System
One of the most impressive innovations in Counter-Strike 2. Smoke grenades now use dynamic volumetric particles that interact with their surroundings, react to light, shots and explosions, and naturally fill the space. Grenades and bullets disperse smoke, expanding the veil or dispersing it briefly. All of this creates new opportunities for stealthy maneuvers and makes combat an even more exciting spectacle.

Visual Effects
They won’t leave you indifferent. Using new lighting and particle systems in Source 2, the developers created a new look and behavior of explosions, fire, bursts of gunfire, hits, splitting of air by bullets and many other things. Each effect creates a stunning atmosphere that makes you feel 100% immersed in the game.

Improved sound
Now it’s not just updated sounds, it’s a whole new sound space. Now you can accurately locate your enemy, hear his footsteps, know where the bullet is coming from. Sounds in the game became more distinguishable and give more information, that will help you to make decisions faster and more precisely.

Updated maps
The maps in Counter-Strike 2 also got a fresh look. They were supplemented or recreated from scratch to fit the new style and improve gameplay. Both classic, beloved maps and new battlefields await you.
