cut your FPS in half for slightly better lighting and shadows
that's literally it
we could've had a new game instead but NOOOOOO CSGO needs to live on for 10 more years
frick this dogshit industry, frick GaaS shit, I want a new game dammit
You're still running around dedust 2 killing terrorist and planting bombs. Shooting is just slightly different, can't shoot through all same walls and go has some of the old custom gamemodes "officially" in the game.
Just saying that it's more or less the same game. It's not like they'd ever mess around with the formula and turn it in to battlefield or something.
Maybe if they'd make singleplayer campaign like deleted scenes, then could be interesting but. But they could just release that as a spinoff to go if they wanted to do it. No need for whole new game
firstly, GOs dust2 was better than past versions and they recently ruined it by blocking Ts view to mid
secondly, the mechanics between these games are vastly different and something a new game would change would be the mechanics. unfortunetely porting GO to Source2 isn't going to change the very basics of mechanics of GO and it's doubtful volvo would even risk that in the future so we're stuck with another decade of GO where valve will just add/remove some maps, give some new coats of paint to existing ones and randomly change weapon values every so often to spice up things a bit so it doesn't turn completely stale and adding new cases, because that's all that matters, fricking skin cases

better map tools, visual and audio upgrade, hopefully they'll fix one way smokes. Rumours say improved matchmaking with 128 tick but I'll believe when I see it.
>hopefully they'll fix one way smokes
that would be great and also totally feasible. just use 3D meshes or modern volumetric fog (voxel grid raymarching is the standard I believe) so everybody has the same sight lines. this way the only remaining problem is the fade out period. that part will never be fixed but you can at least work around it as a player. just don't be in view from a fading smoke and you won't get killed by the guy crouching inside the smoke.
smokes are generally the worst aspect of the game. >destroys performance even on high end rigs for a few measly sprites with transparency >unfair gameplay consequences to visual flaws in the system >looks bad compared to fog / smoke in any contemporary game
every fricking engine has volumetric fog that covers the whole world now and that reacts to lighting (the sun and muzzle flashes!) and shadows (might have to turn this off or it would give away players hiding in smokes. surely they can use similar algorithms to render 8 or fewer smoke grenades at a time. no need for a global volumetric fog, that would only hurt visibility any way. this is so little data we're talking about.
honestly if Source 2 comes out and smokes still look the same I'm not even opting in.
TF2 is overdue for a engine update. It still runs on a Source Engine build from more than a decade ago, the one that makes it impossible to have smooth frametimes which forced valve to update Counter Strike for people to take seriously as a game, let alone as a eSport.
Runs better, has more graphics options. Also a lot more tools for developers.
Source 2 has been happening for ages, it was literally in half life alyx. How is this big news? Until Valve actually releases a new game, this is just more back end shit that will lead to nothing.
No anon, that's not what I mean. I'm using dxvk on Windows. You get a modern AMD GPU and dx9 titles just shit the bed on Windows. Using dxvk-async is literally a better option than plain dx9 on Windows, despite it being a solution for Linux. it's stupid but it works (and somehow it doesn't trigger anticheat, although it'd be funny if it did)
DX9 doesn't shit the bed. You just get worse fps than Vulkan. This is a issue on all GPU brands because DX9 doesn't scale well with modern architectures.

Reread what I said. Nvidia has this issue too. Performance is worse with DX9 than Vulkan. The game isn't taking full advantage of the hardware. You get 1000fps in DX9 on Nvidia when you should be getting 2000fps for example.

I mean lower FPS on a GPU/CPU that should handle these games much better for me is shitting the bed, if I get drops to 60 on TF2 with a 6600xt it does bother me a little bit. At this point I'm convinced if they used opengl on Windows instead of dx9 it'd still be better (considering that ogl on AMD on Windows has been pretty crappy up until summer last year which also broke a couple of emulators). I wasn't aware it was also an nvidia problem. dxvk is not without its issues though, there's some mad cache stuttering at first.
>Wanting DirectX >after 9 >When Mantle/Vulkan exists and shits on post-DX9 DX's from a great height

You realize that's just an engine update for CSGO, just like they did with Dota a few years ago, right? There's no new game. Nothing will change other than maybe graphics looking slightly better
Then why hasn't it been ported already? Dota 2 switched to Source 2 like what - 8 years ago or something? This definitely isn't just a port to Source 2, even though it will likely be an update to the existing game rather than a separate release.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're adding content - since they apparently flew out some pros to test the update before release, they obviously wouldn't need their input for a purely technical update.
>since they apparently flew out some pros to test the update before release
Engine changes could possibly change things like grenade physics which would have a huge impact on gameplay
The point of the update was to fix the performance issues and gameplay bugs that were inherently a Source Engine 1 problem. It doesn't feel so good when your DX9 game has asset stutter or AI bricks itself after a certain value. The engine was originally built for FPS game like HL2 not for top down RTS MOBA.
People expecting a major graphics or gameplay shift were moronic.
Same as Dota 2, fix glaring under the bugs by making a new engine. A lot of the new stuff in Dota wouldn't be possible in Source 1 because the engine quite literally shits itself if you push it more than it can. Remember that Source 1 originally started as a 32 bit engine lmao.
128tick servers / sub-tick servers
better tools to make maps
better tools to make skins
better performance and stability
the port to source 2 mainly benefits the devs
>The engine was originally built for FPS game like HL2 not for top down RTS MOBA.
The type of game doesn't matter for an engine, it's a tool to streamline the process of creating a videogame. Unreal Engine much like Source Engine was built for Unreal(A FPS game) yet it's not the only kind of game it produces
>Unreal Engine much like Source Engine was built for Unreal(A FPS game) yet it's not the only kind of game it produces
Its roots is in first person design and if you try to make something else you have to fight against it or implement stuff yourself. no different from how Cryengine turned into Lumberyard Engine or Frostbite became a razorblade for EA.
Didn't the update was something like back in 2015? things have changed drastically for Source 2 development i bet. Not expecting much but at least something more than what Dota 2 had.
Gabe will be dead by then
Volvo will be sold off to some shit company like microsoft, ea or tencent
And to capitalize on the names and brands they'll rename Source 2 to just Source like they've done to their own engines
engine numbers are a thing of the past
I doubt the Source 2 stuff for CSGO to be an extreme graphics face lift people are hoping for. It'll be some performance fix, better tools, all that mundane stuff and MAYBE some little increments in graphic fidelity like custom models or better lighting but that's it. I doubt Valve would roll out Rubikon for CSGO either considering they lobotomized the physics of the game just for compgays
literally nobody wants or expects a graphical overhaul, nor would valve ever make it more demanding as that would destroy 90% of their playerbase. what people want is a more optimized game, basically. needing 300 fps for the game to feel smooth doesn't make any sense.
>twitter screencap >gay with a masked avatar >caring about source 2
It's an 11 year old engine that never got proper release or public SDK. Who gives a frick? Too little, too late. Instead of making source 2 mods, everyone's making new things in unity and unreal instead.
>tfw valve will just release a patch randomly instead of announcing it directly to not overload servers
Smart tbh, if they would announce date properly that shit would burn their servers for a bit looking at CSGO's peaks recently.
Titanfall is Source Engine 1 but highly modified to add features. Source Engine 2 is built from the ground up. One of the key differences is that Source 2 supports Vulkan natively. Source Engine 1 does OpenGL and has to do Vulkan through DXVK.
Journalists trannies have already kindled the fire by stating everywhere that Counter Strike 2 gets released while it's just a meaningless engine update. There is no one that can make people seethe more than journalists.
It’s more accessible and easier to use. Beyond that, if a gmod source 2 equivalent gets made along side it then there will be way more assets from games ported over to use compared to blender.
Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuck who gives a shit CS 1.6 is the only good game frick youuuuuuuuuu Valve Black folk tongue my anus give me CS 2 atleast and dont make it the same shit again and again
EE(Sniper) realized he was already dead so no point in fighting. Also the creeps he killed were enough money to buy his next item
That's a smart play. You can see he kills the creep then buys a maelstrom. If you spend all your unreliable gold then you won't lose any gold from dying.
I thought Back 4 Blood was proof enough that L4D3 is never coming. At the very least I'd like them to come back and fix some the mutations in 2. You know, shit like spawning out of bounds or instantly dying upon spawning in the Taaannnk!! mutation or random Boomers managing to spawn in Last Man on Earth (a mode where they literally aren't supposed to spawn).
I mean stating that a popular IP will never make a comeback in these modern times is something I believe to be a foolish thought. If I had to bet my balls on whether a L4D3 is ever happening I would bet on it without a second thought and I believe so would you. It's just a question whether it will happen in the next 10 years or not.
Okay but do you really think Valve can capture the same charm of L4D1 and 2 again, especially these days? I would argue not, considering they haven't done anything with these characters in like 14 years. The last thing I want is for a L4D3 to come out and have it be complete shit both gameplay-wise and character-wise.
Of course if you ask me if I'm skeptic or not I'm 100% skeptic about L4D3 capturing not only the essence of the previous games but also improving on them. But if I'm honest I'm not completely hopeless either and I trust in valve more than I would in most other companies.

People would be pissed off if L4D3 didn't include the 1 and 2 campaigns and characters, much like how L4D2 has all of 1 in it. A big problem comes from the possibility of new infected being added because Bill's VA is dead so they can't get new lines recorded for him for these potential new infected, and who knows what could happen to the other VAs in the time before the game comes out.

i think people would understand, because porting l4d1 and 2 to source 2 would be a problem of its own. not to mention the va's as you said
i tried playing csgo again the other day but holy shit is it fricking boring
also im terrible at the game now, i got sorted into silver 2 lmao. though i think the ranks have shifted now because silver isn't full of braindead morons anymore, it felt more like GN2-3
Sure, source 2 is great and all, but I’d rather the million-dollar Artifact tournament Valve announced in March 2018 be happening.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
What's with people still doubting that this is a thing? Richard Lewis already said he knows of pro players who have been testing the game, so I don't know where the doubt is coming from?
It might even be out in six hours when the regular weekly update happens.
If they make the level editor into something that doesn't require third party creator apps they will have something special. Make it like sketchup in order to make all your content in editor.
Can one of you CSgo gays tell me plain and simple can i earn skins for free playing this game? specifically anime ones? or is it gay microtransactions where you cant earn shit if so why are millions of you homosexual russians playing this shit? dont you love communism?
You earn the cases by playing but you need to pay for keys if you wanna open them. Or you can just sell the cases until you have enough money to buy the skin in the Steam market.
The cases are worth way more money and prices have been going up recently. I have like 40 saved for when Source 2 gets officially announced so I can sell them all at once at inflated prices.
Dota's had Source 2 for 8 years and it literally meant nothing. I think the only change was that the camera was a different angle or something and people were pissed. Why is this being given to CSGO such a big deal? It's not even new.
Ah, open close beta testing, yeah, but that site is one of the possible ways to get access, you also can post on forums, with some sort of portfolio, and one time there was a giveaway on discord.
But he didn't fix all of the tools, like he or other dev recently started working on sfm.
source 2 itself isn't even finished since there's no foundation for it yet. alyx is just a branch of whatever source 2 was cooked up till that point. its the only reason why we haven't gotten a real sdk. and the one that garry has is the alyx branch. and valve just keeps updating it non stop the point there's no 'base' state. but the engine is very modular.
t. professional moron
What difference will this make?
Not much, and the adoption rate of the engine will be very low, but Timmy Tencent will endlessly seethe about it nonetheless.
When is Timmy Tencent not seething?
i guess the game runs better on potato computers

I think the big deal is that a new Counter Strike game is coming very soon with Source 2.
You realize that's just an engine update for CSGO, just like they did with Dota a few years ago, right? There's no new game. Nothing will change other than maybe graphics looking slightly better
might get 128 tick and real anti cheat in response to valorants popularity
They could have 128 tick official servers right now, it's purely a server side thing. Real anti cheat as in malware? Valve won't do that.
Then why hasn't it been ported already? Dota 2 switched to Source 2 like what - 8 years ago or something? This definitely isn't just a port to Source 2, even though it will likely be an update to the existing game rather than a separate release.

Could be that.
It should come with functioning tools for non-VR and non-Dota, like a proper source 2 sfm and Hammer
i dont care about some game engine how about good games instead
it already happened years ago thoughever
How many times has Source 2 happened so far?
Dota 2, Artifact, Half Life Alyx, Their VR tech demos, etc.
the dota 2 source 2 update was the most underwhelming thing i've ever seen
The point of the update was to fix the performance issues and gameplay bugs that were inherently a Source Engine 1 problem.

no games to mod
what about half life alyx? most source mods were based on half life 2, right?
no proper sdk released, only limited modding mapping tools
ahhh I see
that's a shame, I wonder why Valve is dragging their feet on that so badly.
It's no longer about the community anymore, it's about selling them stuff.

Why would I want source2? I need my game to keep running at 200fps
It will run better. Dota 2 ran better after its engine upgrade not worse. Vulkan and proper shader pipelines are magic.
is this about cs go source 2 port or source 2 sdk?
>s2 sdk
It's called s&ndbox
Dota 2 became WORSE after source 2, performance, graphics and everything else is worse.
Sounds like a (You) problem as it's impossible for Vulkan to run worse than DX9 on a hardware level.
the graphics getting worse was literally an artstyle decision though
did the sniper get an aneurysm?
EE(Sniper) realized he was already dead so no point in fighting. Also the creeps he killed were enough money to buy his next item
Look at the purchase pop up on the right side of the screen and then look at how much gold sniper have before he died.
That's a smart play. You can see he kills the creep then buys a maelstrom. If you spend all your unreliable gold then you won't lose any gold from dying.
thats those asian genes for you, look like complete shit and disgusting but are a fricking genius. not fricking fair
tfw no Source 2 for L4D2
That's a good thing though. L4D2 being updated with source 2 would be just further proof that they are never planning to do L4D3.
I thought Back 4 Blood was proof enough that L4D3 is never coming. At the very least I'd like them to come back and fix some the mutations in 2. You know, shit like spawning out of bounds or instantly dying upon spawning in the Taaannnk!! mutation or random Boomers managing to spawn in Last Man on Earth (a mode where they literally aren't supposed to spawn).
I mean stating that a popular IP will never make a comeback in these modern times is something I believe to be a foolish thought. If I had to bet my balls on whether a L4D3 is ever happening I would bet on it without a second thought and I believe so would you. It's just a question whether it will happen in the next 10 years or not.
Okay but do you really think Valve can capture the same charm of L4D1 and 2 again, especially these days? I would argue not, considering they haven't done anything with these characters in like 14 years. The last thing I want is for a L4D3 to come out and have it be complete shit both gameplay-wise and character-wise.
Of course if you ask me if I'm skeptic or not I'm 100% skeptic about L4D3 capturing not only the essence of the previous games but also improving on them. But if I'm honest I'm not completely hopeless either and I trust in valve more than I would in most other companies.
Fair enough.
just get a big black based guy again, 3 based white men, and put a big focus on big cool guns that feel nice to shoot and reload jesus christ i should make games
People would be pissed off if L4D3 didn't include the 1 and 2 campaigns and characters, much like how L4D2 has all of 1 in it. A big problem comes from the possibility of new infected being added because Bill's VA is dead so they can't get new lines recorded for him for these potential new infected, and who knows what could happen to the other VAs in the time before the game comes out.
Just get a new VA.
Would have to be a pretty fricking good sound-alike. I'm not saying that's not a possibility though.
I'm pretty sure post production is good enough that it opens the possibilities quite a bit. Just honor the dead voice actor sufficiently and the rest is going to be ok.
i think people would understand, because porting l4d1 and 2 to source 2 would be a problem of its own. not to mention the va's as you said
this time it's real bros
I can feel it in my bones
just release the SDK already and let people make good games
hope there is a new operation battlepass in csgo along with the engine update
Maybe this will get more people playing and then make my Asiimov AWP go up in value
whats the point in skins besides being a money bank? they are all immersion breaking, ugly as hell, and homosexual as shit. i dont get it
kids think they look fun and they get excited about the whole casino thing
earning $5 for a skin is a big deal for children
being a money bank to sell for those hopelessly lost in the sauce
Gambling is addictive no matter what mechanic you throw around it. Kids gamble on skins. Adults gamble on stocks.
i tried playing csgo again the other day but holy shit is it fricking boring
also im terrible at the game now, i got sorted into silver 2 lmao. though i think the ranks have shifted now because silver isn't full of braindead morons anymore, it felt more like GN2-3
perhaps it's boring cause you're a silvershitter
it's boring because it's a shitty game with boring maps
so boring that it keeps topping the most played game on steam every single day
its a kino competitive game, simple as
Only third worlders care about csgo
you are in the minority here
you are a moron here and everywhere
pretty sure you are the moron actually
uncalled for
no, I am the moron
dota didn't change at all after they added source 2
it did change, it looked worse
That's because you most likely think that new engine => gfx upgrade
If someone ports Doom to Unreal Engine 5 it's not going to look like Fortnite or the tech demo for Unreal Engine 5, it's going to look like Doom.
For Doom to look like that UE5 tech demo assets have to be created, effects tweaked and placed manually by someone
Ok, so when will Valve actually get off their ass and make games with their engine?
>and make games with their engine?
They made Half-Life: Alyx which released three years ago
>which released three years ago
>three years
what the frick
>vrshit
Barely counts
doesnt count because im too poor to play it
Even before that they ported Dota 2 to Source 2
Hey guys rate my AWP
I hope you didn't pay for this.
I did. I had to replace 2 of the stickers from the T ones to the CT ones because they're the ones I like more.
moron lol
why have you only killed 1 person with it
I just got it.
Yes. lol
how many monies did it cost you
$3 for the AWP itself and then around an extra $2 for the two extra Kawaii Killer CT stickers I added.
No.
i respect you standing your ground, but if you dont repent now youll be a sissy homosexual all your life and will go to hell. REPENTT
No.
please.
Okay.
repent and become a man, and sell your skins
NEPU
didn't it already happen and nothing changed? dota 2 is literally the same since it released in 2010
No, Dota 2 got worse. Both performance wise and graphical.
how moronic are valve devs? people would kill for hl3, portal3, l4d3 or anything new.
if its money you are saying they are not loosing anything. going back to making games for them would be more about fun than money
Sure, source 2 is great and all, but I’d rather the million-dollar Artifact tournament Valve announced in March 2018 be happening.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
Zoomers don't know how engines or even PC games work and this thread is 95% zoomer.
Gabefollower got his hand on exe files from someone
https://t.me/gabefollower/1074
>get_good.exe
So this is that thing I get told about anytime I bring up valid complaints about how overpowered Soldier is.
>exe
fake
>fake
real
I love how that HL2 icon are still there after all this years.
I want to believe but even then, a source 2 SDK exe wouldn't be complete. It is missing all the libraries n shit so it is basically useless, right
Good. Death to unreal stuttergine.

Pajeet QA is leaking stuff again.
Isnt it about time for Source 3??
>he thinks gabe can count to 3
how cute
Who the frick cares about Source 2 when it's pretty much a downgrade?
>downgrade
How?
>playing RNG shit
CSGO is fricking garbage
>its just for counter-strike
What's with people still doubting that this is a thing? Richard Lewis already said he knows of pro players who have been testing the game, so I don't know where the doubt is coming from?
It might even be out in six hours when the regular weekly update happens.
don't hold your breath. I think it will be a few more weeks and then it'll be a buggy mess so I expect to wait months before actually playing it.
If they make the level editor into something that doesn't require third party creator apps they will have something special. Make it like sketchup in order to make all your content in editor.
Nice.
Can one of you CSgo gays tell me plain and simple can i earn skins for free playing this game? specifically anime ones? or is it gay microtransactions where you cant earn shit if so why are millions of you homosexual russians playing this shit? dont you love communism?
>tranime
>calls us homosexuals
do you know where you are Black person?
>watches tranime
opinion discarded
you can earn really shit skins that sells for 0.05 euros on the steam market
You earn the cases by playing but you need to pay for keys if you wanna open them. Or you can just sell the cases until you have enough money to buy the skin in the Steam market.
>You earn the cases by playing but you need to pay for keys if you wanna open them
wtf is this israelite shit
fricking hell how is this game popular?
The cases are worth way more money and prices have been going up recently. I have like 40 saved for when Source 2 gets officially announced so I can sell them all at once at inflated prices.
But won't the supply of crates also increase? Because more people will be playing, meaning more cases getting dropped.
that'll take a day or two
yeah im skipping this shit sounds dumb as frick
it's almost like the game is fun in itself and you don't need a constant barrage of cheap dopamine hits from artificial rewards to keep you playing
someone gets it
sorry tranime
release on 17th march (friday)
Dota's had Source 2 for 8 years and it literally meant nothing. I think the only change was that the camera was a different angle or something and people were pissed. Why is this being given to CSGO such a big deal? It's not even new.
tf3 confirmed?
Wasn't Garry holding the source 2 devtools hostage or something? This is good because it'll piss him off, if nothing else.
we're not getting them now either
Hostage how? S&box isn't even out properly.
Yes, exactly. He's dripfeeding one person at a time their s&box access, and with it, source 2 devtools.
Ah, open close beta testing, yeah, but that site is one of the possible ways to get access, you also can post on forums, with some sort of portfolio, and one time there was a giveaway on discord.
But he didn't fix all of the tools, like he or other dev recently started working on sfm.
What does it even mean? No game is using this meme engine.
Gabe talked about letting devs use it back in 2015 but nothing so far. I don't get it.
maybe a super secret game we don't know nothing about??? could be
source 2 itself isn't even finished since there's no foundation for it yet. alyx is just a branch of whatever source 2 was cooked up till that point. its the only reason why we haven't gotten a real sdk. and the one that garry has is the alyx branch. and valve just keeps updating it non stop the point there's no 'base' state. but the engine is very modular.
t. professional moron
reminder source 2 is almost a decade old at this point
this is what valve fangays are shitting and pissing themselves about
I want Counterstrike 5, not an engine update for a game I stopped playing 6 years ago.
