CS:GO is playable again... But how? Let me tell you a story about how a group of developers decided to revive beloved game with their own matchmaking.
Watch it here:

vac wave will happen today, almost all big private / invite only cheats got detected, almost everyone, who had red trust factor because of cheats will be (or already) banned today 🤯
millions of $ worth of skins blocked

@csgo
banner changes from five to four today, then the countdown will end on March 23. That will be exactly 3 years since Half-Life: Alyx was released...
Valve accidentally compiled and pushed earliest Left 4 Dead prototype called "Terror Strike" into the latest CS 1.6 update and community figured out how to play it.
It won't be new game, it won't be Counter-Strike 2, it won't be even a rebrand, just CS:GO Source 2
And your skins are fine, they will be available in new version.
After the war started in Ukraine I fled to Sakartvelo, an insanely beautiful country that will forever stay in my heart. But unfortunately it's still scary to stay here long-term because of the border with Ruzzia. The next stop is Argentina, hopefully I'll find peace there for
Something weird just happened. Latest NVIDIA drivers introduced support for unknown app executables called "csgos2.exe" and "cs2.exe". Why project is called Counter-Strike 2 and what are you cooking
@csgo
?
😳🚨With one of the latest NVIDIA Drivers a new Game Profile has been added to the NVIDIA Control Panel called "Counter-strike 2"!!
Apparently it has 2 executables:
- csgos2.exe
- cs2.exe
STEAM DECK GIVEAWAY 😳🔥

Okay, I looked at the new

logo again after a good nap and it looks cool, it's unique, clean, feels "in motion", but it needs some small fixes. I've been working on making logos and UI/UX for several years of my life and I hope my suggestion sound reasonable. Head
Since everyone on de_hypetrain right now, here's friendly reminder. In the first place, engine upgrades are not meant to make the game look or play better, they are meant to make it work better and make it easier to develop new content, especially for people from the community.
Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed. There's still a lot of work and polishing to be done. It might be in a few days, might be next month, but remember...
1. Counter-Strike 2 will be released tomorrow
2. If it doesn't happen, read the first part again
Huh?
@CounterStrike
beta just came out and devs already working on a new operation? Cause there's a lot of stuff related to OP12. Things like 3 new weapon collections: Counter-Strike, Pop Comic, Myth & Monsters. New pins (were teased in official CS2 video). New cosmetic item
In every major update of

2 devs try to showcase one of the new Source 2 features. Firstly it was volumetric smokes, then liquid shader in molotov from Half-Life: Alyx. Then Office with a bunch of new glass that shatters quite nicely, and now, they went all-in and

We managed to port

to Source 2 in just six months, before Valve did (sorry). Here best gameplay clips from our last playtest 😳

So there's option for colored smokes
@CounterStrike
. So far it looks like an internal test feature, but there are 8 different color presets. Maybe devs will add something like this to Danger Zone, or even make a
cosmetic case, but it's extremely unlikely...

I don't think CS:GO on Source 2 will introduce 128 tick rate, based on new strings in Dota 2 updates, devs are working on a new "tickless / subtick" system.

dev team interview TL;DR
- They are pretty much aware about issues with sub-tick (animation delay) and working hard to address them.
- Premier matchmaking is now the most popular mode in Counter-Strike. Which they didn't predict. (??? guess why lol)
- They
Unexpected news appeared today. Cheaters are getting banned on hungreeds accounts in a row. It's not overwatch, it's server-side detection. I have a footages on which 9/10 players get banned within few seconds in the same match. I'm currently verifying all info and doing a video.
Looks like
@CounterStrike
devs are working towards implementation of early concepts / ideas. In addition to the "pet skins" for chickens, we might see full body customization of agents, such as facemasks, hats, glasses, pants, shoes. In CS:GO's leaked source code we had only one
Rumor: I've got fairly reliable information that Valve has been testing CS:GO on Source 2 with the help of third-party QA companies in the US and EU since at least early December. I can't confirm this 100%, but it's decent enough to share.
Please remember that until company will
Happy Birthday
@CounterStrike
🥳🎉
This game has directly affected me not only as a content creator, but also as a human being. A year ago, my sticker was accepted into the game. It allowed me to save enough money to move to a safer place, buy better medicine, and live a better
Judging by their recent actions, devs are going for a full release. The next few months are going to be fun. "Game is not ready, give us previous version it was perfect, split the community". Prepare for unforeseen consequences.
Right now they have perfect excuse for all the flaws the game has. Just gather all the feedback and release frequent patches to fix everything. I really hope they just do an open beta and a big update. Otherwise, let the hunger games begin 💀
Valve has acknowledged its past and did something unbelievable for 25th anniversary of Half-Life.
We just got one in a lifetime update that includes:
- Completely remade 1998 style main menu
- Restored and Cut (Ivan the Space Biker, Proto-Barney, etc.)
- Half-Life Uplink
I can't believe how
@CounterStrike
devs keep surprising me. New Inferno remake looks unbelievably good, glass physics is amazing, grenade inspection obviously hinting towards some sort of customization. So what else they have behind the scenes?
about a week ago CS:GO devs finally started forming skins collection for anubis (and most likely for tuscan), looks like none of these skins were created exclusively and devs just picked up already published workshop publications from community creators (for fixed fee)
do you guys really believe that devs are not pushing 128 tick servers for all players because of money? they fucking own steam (!), money is not the issue
just multiplying the received and sent packets by two is a bad solution, current sub-tick system works great for low ping
