Counter Strike 2 continues quietly and receives an update with a nice gameplay improvement. Which could change a lot.
The latest update for Counter Strike 2, Valve’s popular shooter, brings a number of improvements and new features designed to enrich the gaming experience. This free-to-play title is available on PC via Steam and is constantly evolving. All thanks to feedback from the community, despite mixed impressions since launch. Here are the new features.
Counter Strike 2 is getting better
One of Counter Strike 2’s most notable innovations is the ability to change the hand used for aiming. And even during games. Players can now set their preference for using the left or right hand before the start of the round. With the ability to change this selection during gameplay by pressing the H button. This feature offers greater customization and could influence game strategies.
The buy menu has also been redesigned to include a display that shows weapons dropped by teammates in the buy zone. Players can pick them up directly. In addition, an indication of the minimum guaranteed amount for the next round has been added. This helps players plan their purchases more strategically.
Further changes
Map-wise, Dust 2’s return to the Active Duty map pool is a notable change, while Overpass has been removed. Other maps such as Inferno and Baggage have also been changed to improve playability and readability of the environments.
In terms of gameplay, adjustments have been made to several weapons. Zeus, for example, has had his movement speed increased and his attack cone adjusted, with the kill reward increased from $0 to $100 ($50 in casual mode). Other adjustments include a reduction in the reward for kills with the XM1014 from $900 to $600.
The Counter Strike 2 update also includes lighting adjustments for weapon inspection maps. Wear categories have been added to the inspection screen and weapon names have been corrected to improve clarity. Finally, various performance optimizations and bug fixes have been made to several cards. This improves the overall gaming experience.
