CS2 vs CSGO Map Comparison

In this video, I line them up against CS:GO versions of those same maps and see what's changed. And what hasn't

0:00 - Intro
0:16 - Shoots
1:31 - Office
3:57 - Lake
5:01 - Canals
6:45 - Short Dust
7:29 - Baggage

Can't help but agree about the all maps being sunny part. The different weather in some of the maps is a huge factor for atmosphere.

Is it just me, or does Office looks better in CSGO? The gloomy overcast really was a defining feature of it

[bripbrap]

The fact you went frame by frame for the office comparison to ensure the flag was in the same animation frame is just a testament to your dedication to detail. thanks <3

Oh i haven't liked the sun change on Office, it had kinda of a gritty urban feel, now its just yet another Dust2 sunny day

Fun fact: In the CS2 version of Baggage, the labels for the conveyor belts now correctly read "FLIEẞBAND", where in CS:GO it is "FLIESSBAND". The German-language ligature ß, the so-called "sharp s", has not had an uppercase variant until 2008 and wasn't officially adopted until 2017. In all-caps writing, as is the case in this map, you had to use "SS" instead.

Looking at the old 2012 maps (Shoots and Lake and Bank) gives me a warm feeling. The maps made back then have a Left 4 Dead 2 vibe to them where even the sunny maps have this energy vibrating from them which I always liked, coupled with the photorealistic textures of the player models I find it unique, I'll miss it.

What an amazing video man. You truly are a vital pilar to the cs community. I would be happy if you made a part 2.

I'm still mad that Assault and Dust were removed. Assault was so fun when you wanted a casual experience on competitive matchmaking such a fun map.

Am I the only one who feels like the "better lit" versions in cs2 just make it so much more bland removing almost all contrast and richness of color? 1:36 as an example

Philip, you’re such a lifesaver for me, I hardly see any news about cs2, and all your hard work recently is very appreciated.

[berkaykaan]

The new maps look less artistic somehow. Even though it will be better for gameplay it feels like the maps lost most of their charm. Or rather it's just nostalgia for the older ones.

congrats on 1mil, much deserved after years of being the goat of CS:GO patch notes

i love cs2 for the most part but im really, really hoping that lake and office wont look like this in the full release. the brighter lighting just looks kind of ugly to me, and kind of ruins the original vibe of the map. office definitely needs a remake, but the weather shouldnt change. lake is just not great looking but, judging by the water, most likely is just unfinished. most of the remakes are great, but there are definitely a lot of things that look different for the sake of being different.

5:11 have to say i really like this bit of music, it always fits so well with your videos and it's beautiful little details going on behind the melody.

[giantenemycrab]

Can’t wait to see how they remaster 2fort for new CSGO, it was my favourite map back in the day, even if never made it into comp rotation, and I’d love to see it with source 2 lighting

[supdude]

3:35 that Tetris line just made me realize how young games as we know it really are and how far theve came in a short amount of time

[jynxx]

me and my brothers used to watch you a lot together, i wasn't old enough to have a PC back then but i liked watching them play and watch you, i'm 20 this year and your voice still hasn't changed, your one of the csgo channels i actually enjoy watching

[comradestinger]

I might have a guess as to what's going on with the aerial at 2:50

Source 1 does not apply Anti Aliasing to $alphatest cutout materials. Maybe they fixed this in source 2? So what you are seeing in the screenshot it just $alphatest cutout material but with AA applied to it. (4k with 8xAA means the AA buffer is 17280x30720. Pretty huge.)

Ben Golus has a fantastic article on the topic called "Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"

As someone who likes overcast weather, I can't help but feel the atmosphere and uniqueness of some maps such as cs_office is lost. Every map has it's vibe so to say. My favorite map from cs.1.6 was de_survivor, really cool map.

i love office, im so thankful they barely touched it. but i really hope they bring back the overcast and snow, thats part of what made it so special to me
