![]() ![]() The truth, these were players who had not shown any results in CS:GO for quite a long time, mainly from the NA (North America) region. Many of them decided to change discipline and move to a new shooter. Therefore, it is not surprising that after the release of Valorant, a lot of people switched to playing it. All servers are on 128 tick rate, manual server selection, anti-cheat system, and we can continue this list further. Moreover, technically, Valorant was better than CS:GO. For many players, it has already become boring. They have not updated the game for a long time. The main reason for the emergence of such sentiments in the gaming community was the developers of Valve. Even when the shooter was at the beta test stage, it was dubbed “the CS:GO killer”. Thousands of players take part in it, and many people like the new shooter. Yes, and on broadcasts, the average number of viewers was great in comparison with other types of the genre.īut then, suddenly, Riot announces its 5v5 shooter and provides an open beta test for it. The evidence of this is the promotions on the broadcasts of the main tournaments in this discipline. The Beginning of the Competition Between the Two Gamesīefore the release of Valorant, CS:GO was the leader in the niche of competitive 5v5 shooters. ![]() The Beginning of the Competition Between the Two Games.Those of the professional caliber will need to relearn a lot about CSGO. The impact could be relatively minor for lower-level players. And of course, there will inevitably be a multitude of bugs and glitches after any such transition. Many long-range smoke lineups would be rendered unusable. The deceleration when a player stops moving could be changed in a way that makes peaking work differently. Solely from changes to the game’s physics engine, CSGO could be radically transformed. It would take some very careful software engineering to pull it off,” former CSGO developer Richard Geldreich said in 2021. If the smallest details are changed the game is different…That code can’t be touched because it would break things, sometimes in extremely subtle ways. “If CSGO Source 2 actually comes online there will be differences…Even the tiniest detail of rendering contributes to how CS:GO works and feels. In short, it could basically change everything about CSGO. The one area where everyone may be more concerned is the effect on actual gameplay.įormer Valve employees specifically discussed the impact Source 2 could have. Various unintended gameplay changes may come from Source 2ĬSGO players should be optimistic about a Source 2 port when it comes to performance and graphics. The company will likely be committed to maintaining relatively low hardware requirements in any transition to Source 2 for CSGO. Ultimately, CSGO is overwhelmingly profitable for Valve in large part because it’s very accessible to players on all sorts of hardware. ![]() As with the graphics, the performance impact should be a net gain for most players. Porting CSGO to Source 2 would likely come with other optimizations that should make for a leaner, cleaner client. This “ spaghetti code” can cause issues from both a gameplay and performance perspective. CSGO is a 10-year-old game with pieces of old and redundant code tied to various features. On top of that is a potential cleanup of the CSGO client. A move to Source 2 would likely impact different PCs in a variety ways, but most CSGO players should be optimistic about their personal impact. While older game engines were designed with older hardware in mind, newer game engines are often designed to run more efficiently on modern hardware. Some CSGO players might expect older software to run more smoothly on more modern hardware, but that’s not always the case. Source 2 would likely bring smoother performance for some CSGO players The game should look generally better for those on high-end hardware, regardless. It’s unknown what a full Source 2 port of CSGO would look like, as lighting could affect weapon skins and agent models in a variety of ways. Lighting and shadows are noticeably better in Source 2, with much greater contrast between shaded areas and those under direct light. The experiment showed what the difference would look like at a bare minimum, even before any extra polish is added by Valve. ![]()
