It's been common knowledge for a while that CS2's blood particles are too flat and not visible enough compared to how they used to be, making it harder to tell if your shots are connecting. After seeing how good the sauce particles look, they would legit make great blood particles. They look like the CSGO ones but with much higher fidelity. I wonder if Valve is actually using the upcoming new blood effects in the Magixx Jar. If not, they could easily replace the current ones. Here's a comparison showing why the current CS2 blood effects just aren't good enough and why it could use some improvement

We should be able to go to the grocery store, buy meat, vegetables, and other ingredients, then cook them ourselves. If you cook the meal perfectly, you earn the Best Cook achievement and Lucia gives you compliments. If you make garbage food, Lucia reacts accordingly.

No one has really talked about this before, but I love cooking in real life and I'd love to see it implemented in the game.

If that’s the case, then it’s a terrible change. People wanted darker flash effects to make getting flashed feel less eye searing. Spectators just trying to enjoy the game don’t deserve to get their eyes blasted by flashbangs too.

Someone found a new string mentioning this. It sounds like some kind of ammo buying feature, possibly for competitive mode. They recently changed the reload system and simplified the magazine mechanic so you now dump the whole magazine regardless of how much ammo is left. I wonder if that change was made to bring back the magazine purchase system from 1.6 in the future

This is like generating enough money to produce a blockbuster Hollywood movie like Avatar every month, or to fund an AAA title. That is just from key sales alone. Remember the armory pass, the sticker capsules, the Steam market cut of 15 percent from every transaction, plus Prime copy sales and the buying the case itself which cost a dollar . This game is literally a money printing machine.

There are fans who compare every new game to RDR2 just to make other games look inferior. We all know RDR2 is legendary, but why does every new release need to be judged against it?

Not every game is trying to be hyper realistic. Some games focus more on gameplay, pacing, mechanics, or fun instead of real life levels of detail and immersion. Those games have their own fanbases for a reason.

The problem is that RDR2 fanboys keep posting these “attention to detail” comparisons against every new release. Eventually, fans of other games get annoyed and start hating on RDR2 as a form of retaliation.

It already happened before with GTA 4. Games took nearly a decade to match GTA 4’s attention to detail, and some still cannot fully replicate it. Even GTA 5 had fewer small details compared to GTA 4, which is why those infamous GTA 4 vs GTA 5 comparison videos divided the GTA fanbase till date.

Now RDR2 fans are doing the same thing with every new release. Instead of appreciating games for what they are trying to achieve, every discussion turns into “but RDR2 did this better.” And the result is that other gaming communities get fed up and start trashing RDR2 like it is some overrated game of the decade, even though the game itself did nothing wrong.

Just appreciate RDR2 without putting every other game down. Every game has its own strengths and weaknesses, and not all of them are trying to achieve the same thing.

Only 25 bullets because of the FAMAS. You need very good trigger discipline and have to make the most of every shot to get the maximum kills possible without reloading. How would you approach this ? Which one you would shoot first ?

Edit ( Reading the comments, it seems some people are not noticing there are 4 guys in total. One is in pit with Head visible for clean headshot)

We see one like that in current CS Source. I did not play that game in its prime, so I do not know if it was ever useful or not, but a useful bug report feature in CS2 would be a pretty cool feature tbh.

The playing areas and angles feels clean. Nothing overblown with clutter or visual noise. Just amazing art style, lighting and subtle detail. The mood and atmosphere feel so authentic, like you are actually in Pripyat. Credit where it’s due, Valve has been killing it visually since de_train, the Ancient rework, and now this. Makes you wonder how Mirage and Dust2 will look in Source 2. Hopefully Mirage is next. Playing these new maps alongside the old ones feels like two different games now. The visual quality gap is huge.
