Gaming News After years, Counter Strike 2 finally adds this very useful feature for 10% of players you may belong to
Late last week, Valve released an update for its competitive shooter Counter Strike 2. An update that does not revolutionize the content, but allows certain players to overcome a possible handicap… linked to their hands.
Counter Strike 2: a change, especially in form
You may not know it, but it’s Counter Strike 2, released at the end of September. It follows ten years of Counter Strike: Global Offensive’s unchallenged reign in the world of competitive FPS. A change of facade that hardly changes the substance of the gameplay. Something that we feel after a few hours of play in this CS 2: the handling remains the same as with CS: GO or Counter Strike: Source. However, we regret the lack of iconic FPS modes like the Gungame.
As we already mentioned in our test published on the day of release, what particularly stands out is the graphical redesign. A feast for the eyes for newbies, it is particularly notable because it also has a functional goal for regular players. In fact, for example, it is the behavior of the smoke from smoke bombs that reacts to bullet shots. Enough to make certain fights more difficult and add a layer of tactics for amateur players. Valve adds new features from time to time, as was the case earlier this week. And once again it only affects a fringe of players.
Counter Strike 2: Switch weapons to the left
And yes, not all video game players are right-handed. An observation that can also apply to the world population. The various censuses assume that there are 9 right-handed people for every 1 left-handed person. If we apply this ratio to Counter-Strike fans; That’s why the latest update was created for the 10% who prefer to play with their left hand. In the latest news post, which can be seen on the game’s Steam page, we can read
The first innovation concerns the subjective view: You can now specify in the settings which hand holds your weapon (left or right). You can also change the dominant hand in the middle of a grip by using the appropriate key combination (default H on AZERTY/QWERTY keyboards).
Among the other changes we also note a revised shop (including the minimum money received at the end of the round) or even specific crosshairs for each grenade. Be careful not to be too efficient after making these changes: it’s already arrived in the studio Ban players who moved their mouse too quickly.
