CS2 update targets subtick shooting consistency

The subtick shooting changes came alongside adjustments to grenade animations and sounds, as well as the introduction of a new skin collection.

Valve has released an update for CS2, introducing new animations and sounds for grenades, a new skin collection, and "various improvements to subtick shooting consistency" alongside other changes.

Additionally, Valve have also added a "JavaScript-based scripting system" for community mapmakers, which should provide more opportunities for community members to produce custom content.

Other minor additions include the ability for players to zoom and pan while inspecting weapons, and the ability to view a teammate's full loadout while spectating them.

The complete patch notes for this update are:

[GENESIS COLLECTION]

  • The Genesis Collection is now available, featuring 17 finishes from community contributors.

  • Access items in the Genesis Collection via the Genesis Uplink Terminal, available as a weekly drop.

[MAP SCRIPTING]

  • Added cs_script, a JavaScript based scripting system for Counter-Strike maps.

  • Added script_zoo.vmap to demonstrate cs_script usage and functionality.

[UI]

  • Added ability to inspect another player's loadout when spectating.

  • Added zoom (mousewheel) and pan (shift+drag) to all inspect panels.

[SOUND]

  • Each grenade now has unique higher-fidelity sounds for draw, inspect, pin-pull, and throw.

[MISC]

  • Various improvements to subtick shooting consistency.

Holy cope The people who caught VAC lives in those 12 hours after the silent "update" were by my estimates all the lowest of the low IQ dogs who couldn't follow basic instructions on how to load up their free, plug and play cheats and all they got was a time out and red trust factor, because Valve devs fixed a hole that cheaters stopped using 3 years ago. Just go to a random forum for these slimes and you'll see no one is having issues. the only realistic bump in the road VAC has made for cheaters since CS* released is that it now actually will detect the most obvious rage hacking, and it took the devs 2 years to write that if-statement.

the point im making is the cheating problem will never be fixed. its the same ad blockers. companies will find a way to counter ad blockers and then who ever creates the ad blockers will find a way to counter their counter. its a never ending cycle and especially with how popular of a game CS is, it will always be a big problem. This update was bigger than you are making it out to be. Is it perfect? no but at least they are adding updates to try and do something. Would you rather them not do anything at all? if you want to see a truly bad state of a game, look up Escape From Tarkov. Their cheating problem is one of the worst ive ever seen and not only that but their head of the company Nikita came out and publicly stated that if players dont like the state of the game then come back later. Now that is unacceptable.

The original was France having some sort of issue with the way cases worked, which led to the Xray mechanic being added for them (and the p250 xray skin came from it). It at least worked short term, but I only know a shred of basic EU law, and very little on each countries local laws outside of what should be common knowledge for tourism reasons, so I have no clue if it became an issue again

In the Netherlands for example you can't open cases, but if you buy the armory pass and earn stars you can get the drops. It feels like it's a precaution to secure valve's money in case more countries ban game lootboxes

I thought the way the drops system worked now was in standing with that? I could definitely be wrong, but I thought that was the whole point of the standardizing of weekly drops with the rewards being more hard set.

You'll want to look through the example map to see examples of the hooks and access points they've added. I haven't had time to look into the scripting language itself, but in principle you would be able to do what you are asking. This is provided there is the ability to add physics to an object and there are hooks for user interactions (this is pretty basic, so I'm sure button interactions will be available yes) > Added script_zoo.vmap to demonstrate cs_script > usage and functionality.

Is the sound from the enemy perspective different for each nade? So you can tell if someone is pulling the pin on a flash vs pulling the pin on a smoke? If it difference will be another layer or gameplay that can be used for trickery and for predicting your enemies.

Well, their priorities were quite obvious when they were more concerned about some skinks looking bad during cs2 launch than subtick being absolutely bad and useless. Btw, not sure you ve heard this but Madrid server is horrible with desync, unless you re playing from Spain or Portugual.
