Counter-Strike 2: Responsive Smokes

Smoke Grenades are now dynamic volumetric objects that interact with the environment, and react to lighting, gunfire, and explosions.

This is such a Valve way to reveal a new game

[Skikopl]

Valve drops feature trailers without even making a trailer for the game first

Absolute legends

These smokes will be absolutely game changing, no more one ways and less spamming in the smoke that's amazing

[gabrielloko]

This is not ruining Smoke plays. This is making them even more agressive

[icass]

Instantly clicked, Valve giving news is a sight to behold

[BrandyBuizel]

just the fact you can eliminate smoke in the same way you could remove fire is a game changer

[Moonslurpy]

I didn't think you could make smokes any more complex. Bravo, Valve!

[taggartfly]

I love how they make even more ways to experiment with game mechanics

[darthgiorgi]

Just love how instead of cinematic trailers, we are getting deep dive into gameplay improvements.

Feels like old valve again.

[fluent_styles]

Really dig these kind of demos. Straight into the detail

[arjitmishra]

If smoke can interact with the environment, can a spinbot make a tornado with it?

[ColdFear]

The smoke effect is literally a game changer! I already see that future fps games will have some CS2 features.

[GGMattt]

I've never been sold on a game before just by smoke dynamics alone, well done, Valve!

[Adim]

Insane, this would add another layer of gameplay mechanics. Yeah you can shoot through smokes to confirm anything from the other side, but in the sacrifice of giving away your position to enemy players.

[enigma]

The smoke cancelled by shooting or nades is a good addition. Definitely will add spice and prevents smoke spams.

One of the best video game updates I've ever seen, I wasn't expecting this at all valve impresses me as usual

[WaganTech]

I'm just going to spent the day watching all of these CS2 vids...so FASCINATING!

[Hubris]

the smoke dissipation feature is absolutely insane
I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before

Edit: the m4a1-s is indirectly getting nerfed by this feature, isn't it?

[VirreCSGO]

This is going to change the whole CS gameplay, very interesting and COOL!

[PilaCiu]

That's crazy! I never thought we will get volumetric smoke in Counter Strike!
