Remember that while bullets remove the smoke, both the shooter and the target's positions become exposed so in the end its a double edged sword. It helps increase visibility for your team but you become an even easier target to pick off so the faster and most accurate player will win the encounter.

Warowl has always been among the greats of cs, right up there with 3kliks. You're in the core of the cs community and hearing that you've viewed yourself as an outsider was really surprising.

With the dynamic smoke, pros will have to implement new strategies in rushing/retaking a bomb site. Things that Valve can do with Smokes (1) balance the duration of the smoke grenade, (2) balance the amount of smoke pumping out of the grenade, and (3) balance the amount of smoke that regenerates in an area that was blasted by a grenade or shot thru by a gun. Also, since we're on the topic of throwables, I hope Valve adds an option to lessen the brightness of Flashbangs.

The intro was great with you brushing it off due to excitement

When i first started in 2015 you where the person i learned from how to play through your videos and I'm very thankful for that. I hope there will be some tutorial stuff coming from you in regards of the new game.

6:07 Smokes could be different colours based on the lighting I think. One was in a shadow

At 5:58, the two smoke appear different in colour because light now reflects off of the smokes, the one on the left is closer to a darker tunnel, where as the one on the right is surrounded by light and bullets.

man i stepped away from cs for a pretty long time, coming back and seeing warowl speak on breaking news is so nostalgic. glad to see you doing well, super excited to see what comes in the future :)

6:05 i'm almost certain the different smoke shades is because of the lighting affecting the smoke shade (the grey one is in the shadow while the lighter one is directly in the sun)

Saw the news on Reddit, immediately opened your channel to see if you’ve covered it. I don’t play the game anymore, but am still able to stay in the loop through your videos. Thanks for all you’ve done for the community over the years, I’m excited for this next chapter of your channel with CS2 :)

I am ready to say goodbye to my life and my non-existent wife and play this game forever and ever. Thank you Lord Gaben. 🙏🙏

6:00 I think that's because one of them is in the shadow of the building while the other isn't, you can see the toe of the other smoke gets discolored when it comes under the shadow.

That intro! xD pushing aside the warowl intro logo lol Good stuff

I'm actually really happy for you, warowl. I started watching your videos some like 4 or 5 years ago, without even being much of a CS gamer. I didn't Get to being one, either, but I always enjoyed your content. I hope this motivates you to make what you do Best!

For the sub-tick example, you can use WoW and Overwatch as examples. Awhile ago, Blizzard implemented server side features that essentially worked as you explained: you computer stores the actions you took and the server puts it in the correct order of events. This makes it a smooth transition between actions and results. Only weird thing that can happen sometimes is a replay will often be slightly different then you remember. The replay is based on the server events and it’s what actually counts.

This will also be so nice for your channel. I'm really hyped 🔥

so excited for all your new videos reviewing cs2

Congratz on being in, WarOwl! That small update broke my heart a bit, because it was nice to see you really care - enjoy the beta! You indeed should be in.

The fact that I was JUST thinking of when would you be able to make a video reaction about CS 2 and talk about this and suddenly saw you posted A VIDEO OF IT. What a great way to start a day!

5:55 the smokes here are different colors because valve mentioned that their color will change depending on the lighting as you can see one smoke is in tunnel while the other is outside

Thanks for clearing out the confusion around the sub tick updates. Tickles seems awfull when there’s high latency

I'll never forget the hours I spend watching your Tutorials, Guides and SoloQueue to Global Elite. Can't wait for more!

IM SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY GOT INTO THE LIMITED PLAY TEST. so many people didn't get in and it was heart breaking to see big community members not get in, but people are slowly getting access. I'm so looking forward to your upcoming videos on how everything works in the limited play test while I wait for myself to get access 💔

YOOOOO the moment i heard about CS2 i had to look up your channel to hear what you had to say lmao. you really deserve this and i cant wait to see what elsenu can cover about the beta! was never good at csgo but i had fun, heres to wishing i can come back to it, with a revitalized playerbase of both newcomers and old veterans

It appears the game will have legacy gun models as well as new ones for some skins. You can see in the GIF on their site, when guns switch skins they get slightly different, you can see that on all of them, one awp for example is shorter and has a different compensator or muzzle break. One m4a1 has a hook that is for attaching the strap under the barrel and the other does not

i almost got sad when you started to talk about thinking of getting left out, but you know you're support pillar of the csgo community. You might not be as amazing player as a pro player but you make important and enjoyable content that im/we are always eager to see

Man I love your enthusiasm for the last 10 years of Counterstrike May you have another decade of Counter Strike goodness!

5:55, I think in this instance the smokes are different because of the lighting. The one on the left is darker because it's in the dark, while the one on the right is lighter because the sun is shining on it

About that colored difference of two smokes it is all about the lightning. If you throw a smoke in shadows it will become a darker grey smoke and if you will throw in light you get a brighter smoke.

I'm glad for you, WarOwl, and happy to be able to watch your videos. I hope the new CS will be good for you - both in game and in community :)

I think the new smokes are probably the change I love this most. and with the release of Hammer 2 I might even try to make a map which will probably just be a Dust 2 or Mirage clone but still I've wanted to try and make a map and this might be my chance to start. anyways keep up the great work WarOwl!

5:55 I think the colour difference is due to lighting. They said that smokes actually react to lighting now and if you look at where the smokes are you can see one is in the shadows and the other is in the sunlight.

Those anyone have any info on the crates that we currently own???? Are they going to transfer over???

You say you feel like an outsider, and yet you're the only CS youtuber I watch frequently. I watch nearly every single upload you have, keep up the good work!

The different color for the smokes was the sunlight. Its clearly visible in the lower mid of the screen, where the shadow falls and the 2 smokes interact.

Absolutely insane, can't wait for this game

"I've always felt like an outsider" you're literally one of the pillars of this community brother. WarOwl and 3Kliks are the OGs when it comes to CSGO.

5:55 Smoke is in a different color due to lighting. Plus you can see your muzzle fire's reflection on the smoke if you're close enough

For what you've said about networking it's almost on point the main difference is that whenever you're dealing with constant synchronization timings you also need to implement a movement prediction ( or client prediction ) which, as the name implies - predicts the movement of a player by the server. The biggest issue in CSGO was that this prediction (from my analysis) was broken and did not take into account "microadjustments" like pushing strafe key for less than one tick or whatever. I think it also didn't count in "sliding" and acceleration which was a huge deal. Prediction is the most important thing when dealing with networking for online games because you do not want to correct player position or action with each update. You need to have a near perfect representation of the game in your server. The fact is.. you still need one global synchronization frame from time to time so that the players wont abuse the system.

Dang, I'm just so happy to see WarOwl so genuinely excited about getting into the beta.

One thing im worried about with the new smokes is as a result of the volumetric design smoke if your smoke lands in a hole or divet the smoke loses its height and thus its effectiveness because it fills the hole rather than the air. Other than that looks awesome.

This just means we will have to learn how to throw them

It should do the opposite. If its in like a hole or cubby, then the old system would put a lot of smoke into the wall. The new system would always have the same volume of smoke arround. Tho there are screnarios were this would hurt, I think. We'll have to see.

It would be easy for Valve to make it one way or the other. If it's fixed volume (which it likely will be) this won't be an issue.

thats what the closed beta is for

This was a great summary and I may even get back into the game to check it out, it's been years. Just a few things about your video tho: - The smokes don't seem to be different colors based on who throws them. Judging by the screenshot you showed, it appears to be just dynamic lighting on the volumetric smoke, or in layman's terms: it gets colored depending on the light around it. - I don't think the reflections being crazy is that bad as long as they can be toned down in settings or turned off completely. Remember that a lot of people that play csgo don't care that much about being super competitive, and there's plenty of casual modes and mod maps that people play for fun. So the game looking pretty is just a plus for them - I can't believe you didn't get instant access to the trial, you are like THE CS guy imo. Glad they turned that around

I dont play CS anymore, but grew up with 1.6 and Source so it holds a special place in my heart. I'm glad and interested for this new game and hope the players, like you are getting what they want. But what I really wanted was just to comment on your hair and beard. Looks great man! Really 👍

So happy to see you get into the beta bro, can’t wait to see more videos from you. Also hope ya car gets fixed soon

5:55 i think the smokes colors are not team dependant, i believe it varies bcs of the lightning and material its over

WarOwl on a caffeine rush is awesome. Thanks, WarOwl!

I built my first PC in 2013 and CSGO was one of the first games I played.. War Owl was always my go to for CSGO videos and tips! excited for new content going forward!

Just watching through your video, regarding smokes, seems like there could be some interesting usage of the negev to "clear smokes" enough to be able to see through them. Highly doubt that that will happen in higher levels of csgo tho.

So glad you got to be a part of the beta. My heart sank when you said you weren't one of them! I played with you once on faceit and asked for a sticker. I asked if I could send you two skins just if you would send one back with a sticker... You said you legally couldn't but I added a warowl sticker to my cheap ump (which was my favorite gun at the time) and pretended you did. GO WAROWL! You have a legion behind you!

you always deliver, keep it up, much love

This line hits hard bruh 1:13

Can't wait to see this channel blow up again like it did all those years ago 🙌

I may finally be able to convince my friends to come back to CS, all these changes look incredible!

imagine the visuals new kz maps are gonna get. though some are ported from 1.6, some are gonna get very beautiful

I love you so much! That non-closer was the best. 😅
