fter months of speculations and numerous teases, Valve have finally given an official update about Counter-Strike 2, the sequel to Valve's extremely popular esports title, Counter-Strike : Global Offensive.

Bullets and HE grenades will be able to break up the smokes momentarily while the smokes now will also take the shape of the environment its thrown in. Smokes will also react to the lighting and CS2 will have CT smokes in the shade of light blue while the T smokes will be brown-ish grey. Sub-Tick - One of the most debated points in CS:GO was the tick rate and CS2 will be tickless - which means tick rates will no longer matter for shooting, moving or throwing grenades.
