Comment on Counter-Strike 2 Makes Significant Development Towards Release

I think it’s so weird how Valve announced this game.
“Hey, this is Counter Strike 2, over twenty years in the making. Let’s start by explaining volumetric smoke grenades.”
Valve used to be able to harness the power of hype for its games, not treat them like upgrades or patches.

CS2 is Thesus Ship after the ship is repaired
It was the same if I’m not wrong for Dota 2 when moving to Source 2.
But as a CSGO player with “Only 600” I am very hyped. It’s subtle things, but I love them, sample fixes everywhere in every small corner. Game runs better which was not possible before? Yeah, before everything passed by one CPU core, now it’s fixed, everything will run faster. By tweaking some mechanics the game will play differently. CS2 is not like when a new Monster Hunter game gets out, Its taking a good game, and recreating it in a new place adapted to the world of today, with tricks we learned in the last ten years. Yeah it’s not a new game, yeah it’s not innovative at all, the only innovation would maybe be how they baked the light with a blend of old tech and new tech.
