I took the time to replace the code for the Name Plates for the Items you feed the mimic to make it stop getting stuck and flashing. This should help the Epileptic Players a great deal (I'm working on the Floor Textures which are still Z-Fighting with the Fog Layer). And should stop the ADHD/OCD frustration it was causing. Thank you to both sets of testers for making me aware that it was a challenge. Part of making the game disability friendly is that I have to be aware of things which may be outside of my range of understanding. So I really appreciate the kind feedback and disability advocacy from the players!

We're happy to announce the return of the momentarily lost classic, Train.



There's plenty of classic Counter-Strike in every inch of this map—but we also made sure to mix up the gameplay a bit to keep you Train veterans on your toes. We also gave it a full visual overhaul, which means your favorite bleak Eastern European train yard is now 60% cloudier. With a chance of rain? We guarantee it.

So queue up and get ready to master the newest version of one of Counter-Strike's most iconic maps. Train is now available in casual and competitive game modes.



Overpass has received a number of updates based on community feedback, and we're adding four new community maps to the game. Basalt returns to Counter-Strike 2 alongside Edin in casual and competitive game modes, and Palais and Whistle have been added to Wingman.

Hello,
We have unexpectedly released version 0.9.0 of the game. While the game is still lacking in some areas, we will continue to enhance it through regular updates to make it more enjoyable.

Upcoming Update (November 22)
Gamepad support
New stage
New summon


Please share your thoughts in the Steam discussion board.

Thank you.

[ DAMAGE PREDICTION ]

• Added damage prediction settings. Damage prediction allows clients to immediately play the audio/visual effects of inflicting damage without waiting for confirmation from the server. Damage prediction can make shooting feel significantly more responsive, but comes with the risk of occasionally being wrong (e.g. due to aim punch, tagging, or a death that your client isn't yet aware of).
  
• Predicted body shot effects (disabled by default), head shot effects (disabled by default), and kill ragdolls (enabled by default) can each be toggled separately.
  
• Damage prediction is not active when you have high ping.

[ ANIMATION ]

• Updated the third-person animation that plays when a player is blinded by a flashbang. The animation now accurately represents the player's visibility level, and the pose will only show the player's arm covering their eyes when they are completely blinded.
  
• Fixed a case where legs weren't animating correctly while taking damage.

[ GRAPHICS ]

• Added ambient occlusion for first person legs to better ground them in the environment.
  
• Performance optimizations for molotov and incendiary effects.

[ GRENADES ]

• Added axis labels to the grenade line-up reticle tick marks.
  
• The grenade preview camera now shows the result of a jump throw while the jump button is held.

[ MAP GUIDES ]

• Added a map guide for Train, which demonstrates four simple Terrorist grenade line-ups. To load a map guide, go to Play→Practice and toggle "Load Map Guides" on.
  
• Added concommands annotation_* which enable the creation, saving, and loading of map guide nodes and files, which are stored in /annotations/.

[ MISC ]

• New game settings for radar map blending and background opacity.
  
• Fixed a case where progress from a previously completed Armory Pass would show during activation of a new pass.
  
• Fixed a regression with Chinese input via the Microsoft Input Methods.
  
• CSTV now allows setting tv_delay and tv_delay1 to a value smaller than 6 seconds.

We fixed a bug in the Simplified Chinese language compilation

Hello Commanders,

More news, we hit new milestones.

We managed to finish all maps for Defcon 4 and now we started implementing them. The first one was added yesterday and here is the reveal:



Yeap, it is a library.. Because the game content will be short we are focusing on delivering high-quality in our environments and player experience. What does this mean? Well, it means that each scenario will have a special mechanic/gimmick. For example, this Librabry map has storm weather effects that will prevent the player from doing hit & run so on this map you must first survive until the storm ends.

Oh, we also added some hot interactive cutscenes within the scenario itself and many easter eggs.

Talking about the storm, here are the new storm visual effects rain + thunder.




Preview gameplay:

And today we added the Subway map.



The Subway unique twist is that you can use the alternative way out with some penalties but if you wait for the train to arrive a new exit path will be unlocked and you can leave without penalties but thers a catch. When the train arrives it will have unwanted passengers.

In conclusion, each environment is tailored to provide a certain experience.



OK time to go back to work, we need to finish Defcon 4 this month. If this week we manage to implement all scenarios then next week we will start adding custom random encounters for this Defcon as well + a special scenario and full-screen cutscenes.
