CS 2 vs CSGO - Details and Physics Comparison

The best comparison between the two games Counter Strike 2 or CS2 (2023) and Counter Strike Global Offensive or CSGO (2020), I will compare the most important similarities, physics, details, textures and special places in the game. The entire video was created by myself (GameLight).

Many players have been waiting for a long time for CS GO to switch to the new Source 2 engine, and it finally happened, this summer CS2 will officially be released at the moment in limited testing (Valve)

I was also able to find a change that was not included in the video, these are skins, weapon parts, shooting spray:
Skins: The skins of weapons with a scope have changed, where the developers have added a skin to the scope itself.
Weapon Details: Small details have been added to many of the weapons, which seem to change with the skin.
Spray shooting:
I noticed that the spray from the shooting has changed a little.

Really love the new smoke mechanic, and how frag grenade affect the smoke, but the way the smoke looks just really off.. just like someone says it looks too cartoony

The only 2 things I fear in CS2 are:

1. If it somehow changes gameplay
2. My FPS 💀

Unironically the most underrated feature is the ability to see your own shadow. This has helped me so much in planning my jumps from Cat to CT.

So, 20 years for volumetric smoke. What a time to be alive.

Я конечно понимаю, что разрабы стараются за реализм. Отверстия от пуль теперь смотрятся весьма натурально, но это убивает творчество игроков, которые теперь не смогут рисовать члены на стенах 😂

I like how they managed to keep the gun shooting and sound lag the same accross both games

[JohnDoe]

valve might wanna update the animations, than the graphics itself

[YY]

Nade and shooting aside im glad there's no stupid one way smoke again

[pizmeal]

really makes me appreciate the visual aesthetic for csgo more, other changes look dope tho, hopefully settings to use OG hud and raise the contrast

[thecamper]

I would love to see different reload animations for CT and T sides, as well as tactical and combat/emergency reloads

[lukky]

I can understand the lack of new details and destructibles because the game needs to run on most setups with a stable framerate and needs to maintain the best server latency to avoid unfair matches.

I just can’t wait to see how all of the changes impact the gameplay and strat in the tourney

[jessehall]

I like that smoke has some physics in it but I see a small problem with the textures they're using and that there are gaps in it and if a player walks through it, you would see their feet.

[pizzadeliveryspringtrap]

The smoke stuff is cool but I feel like they could have made the bullet holes in objects better. For example: the trash bag could leak trash when you shoot it or the cars window can crack when it's shot.

The game could really do with some updated animations, I feel like the updated weapon models are in stark contrast to the stiff, outdated animations from 2012

Отсутствие скайбокса, как по мне, самый большой плюс, столько крутых раскидок появится, хоть и некоторые старые пропадут. Только сама графика выглядит странно, всё хорошо но будто бы забыли включить ambient occlusion у пропов, либо это исправят либо теперь это такой визуальный стиль.
Дым крутой, но иногда его контур бывает на столько рваным что его можно спутать с игроком или не заметить игрока в этом рваном дыму, надеюсь это тоже исправят, сделав его более округлым по краям.

То что в кс2 материалы пропов не правильные, типа у колёс машины не материал резины это не показатель, source2 поддерживает разные материалы на одой модели, просто их ещё никто не настраивал так как карты портировали с минимальными изменениями из csgo, где из-за ограничений source1 лишь 1 материал на всю модель, а машина и её стекло это 2 отдельные модели (такие костыли).
И 3д звук на самом деле в csgo крутой (а в cs2 ещё круче) как и во всех последних source играх, просто разница более заметна в маленьких комнатах и на открытой местности. Здесь в приблизительно одинаковых по размеру комнатах звук не особо разнится.

It's crazy to think that cs2 was announced over a year ago

[NhBleker]

I prefer the lighting of CSGO as it makes the game look not so washed out, and have actual contrast. I hope that we'll be able to have CS2's light have this desired contrast that's present in the likes of Half Life Alyx, and in some screenshots of CS2 that makes me think it is in the game but depending on people's settings for it, the game looks like the washed out mess it is, such as in this video.

I like the lighting of the new game however it needs more contrast I think... Like it needs to be a little bit darker
