The CS2 Update I've Been Waiting For - New Overpass

New Overpass has been released, here's everything you need to know about the new gameplay changes. This is a complete remake of de_overpass for Counter-Strike 2 using the new Source 2 Engine. I also go over all the other changes in the recent CS2 Update.

Greetings! This video took me some time because I'm building a new computer for CS2 (RTX 4090 and I9-13900K), I will try to get updates out ASAP as soon as important stuff happens.

A lot of love for Arms Race and Demolition in the comments, maybe I was mistaken about the player numbers for those. Valve would know, they have the data. I still think those game modes could be improved, I always liked gungame servers, but the way they did it with giving everyone wallhacks on the leader was awful and I never play the 'official' game mode. I think they can improve them, and now is a good opportunity to do just that.

Arms Race and Demolition is pretty popular, especially with newer players preparing for ranked

[Creepernom]

Arms Race is my favourite mode for warm-up so I really hope they'll bring it back.

[stelfoog]

I don’t care about demolition that much, but arms race is a really fun side attraction or warmup. Many times when my friends and I have been waiting for the rest of the group to join we’ve played arms race to pass the time

I like the Source 2 visuals, I hope the esports boner doesn't get in the way of the engine, really impressed with Valves talent of creating digital magic tricks like the Overpass water not being 3D whatsoever but looking so next gen. They truly have the best texture artists in the industry.

WarOwl doing his X for this video. Man really goes far and wide to provide us the content 💀

[lukasg]

Demolition is where a quarter of my hours in CSGO are at. I don't think valve should kill the more fun casual modes and maps like they did with aztec

[Shelleloch]

Ah, the One Must Fall playing in the background is lovely. Good music choice.

[phalgunidass]

That self boost is possible, I saw it on Olof's stream and he did it eventually. Said, it's difficult but possible.

One Must Fall 2097 theme song throughout the video. Old school vibes. Thanks Warowl!

5:12 I was playing around with this and I'm pretty sure this change actually makes it way worse to sit behind the door because of how angles work. If someone peeks the edge of the door even slightly you're going to be visible unless you're staring into the corner, at which point you're completely exposed if someone decides to clear it

Also it'd be nice if they added a clipbrush command to the console in CS2, I tried checking for one but couldn't find it. It was useful in CSGO for figuring out where you can/can't play while exploring a map but I don't think there is any equivalent command in CS2 right now and it'd help a lot with figuring out all the weird dumb spots you can/can't stand on Overpass

[aquilaFUN]

I just hope they cycle maps for casual modes way more often now. We literally played the same 10 maps on arms race, demolition and so on for 10 fucking years while the community pumps out one high quality map after the other, and they would be perfect for more casual modes to keep it fresh.

[scrppy]

I wanna let you know how much I appreciate you still using the same intro music and stuff in your videos still. Such a classic.

[noahthompson]

The grenade dropping immediately when secondary fire repeat is off seems more like an oversight to me than an intended feature.

[schloppeenheimer]

I did notice some frame drops when I was in water and tossed a henade down anybody who was close would drop frames same thing for smoke if you have two or more smokes stacked and dropped a nade anyone who was close to the smoke would suffer frame drops from 350 down to 30-27 frames

[TehAlekzi]

Come on now, back when I played CSGO actively I had couple matches of demoliton as a warm-up every time before going in competitive. So the different game modes will definitely have some players.

[maxwelltwitmyer]

Austincs did a video explaining what I'm about to say but it's worth mentioning that a lot of useful B names can be thrown over the hedge by A bathrooms now, making it really strong from delaying B pushes and keeping an extra man towards A. If the clipping stays this way, it could drastically change the way this map is played in comp.

THANK YOU SO MUCH WAROWL, GOT ACCESS TO CS2!

[RaimaNd]

I got an invite few days ago. Really like most of the stuff I see so far. The rest can be worked out.
