OBT in the fall

Fans of CS 2 have discovered a possible release date of the title. They found an unusual combination of numbers in the first trailer of the shooter.

In the video you can see the combination of 7-15. In North America, the month is written before the number, so fans assumed that the release of the shooter will take place on July 15. Fans joked that because of Valve Time [a joke term that appeared due to the fact that the company does not release updates on time] the game should be expected only in the fall.

Earlier, Brazilian cybersportsman Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo said that BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 could be the last major tournament in the history of CS:GO. According to him, the organizers will move on to CS 2 next. Valve is currently beta testing CS 2. Access to the game was given only to cyber athletes and some players who fit the conditions of the company. According to the developers, the full release of the shooter will be held in the summer of 2023

Reviews and full review for CS:GO 2

CS2 beta testers have mixed reviews of the updated:

- enemies' shadows are now more visible, and the player has his own;
- added adaptive aiming, which follows the trajectory of bullets;
- noticeably redesigned shooting - it feels smoother, and weapons behave better in dynamic firefights;
- Daungreiden the mechanics of aiming - now you can not increase the sight of AWP by pinching, only by double-clicking;
- grenade trajectory indicator appeared in custom and private servers (it will not appear in the rating);
- Skyboxes have been removed - throwing weapons will be able to fly higher and farther without hitting the "ceiling";
- Smoke Trap reacts to grenades and shooting. and Molotov is strengthened by explosions;
- in the game console found a command to get a stretch grenade - probably, the game will have new types of weapons;
- well and the most important chip - now you can look at your feet.
- Animated avatars from Steam now move
- Perhaps in the new CS2 it will be possible to prematurely detonate a grenade with a shot
- Defuse whales are now displayed in the interface
- In the beta of CS 2, the quality of stickers has deteriorated. Cosmetic items became dimmer on weapons. The community stated that stickers darkened by 30%
- Cheaters learned how to get into the closed beta of CS2 without being invited by Valve.
Now they are making a fuss and preventing testers from playing. What is noteworthy, the system in no way palaver "illegal penetration" on the ZBT. In what ways such atrocities occur is unknown at the moment
- Increased head hitbox by + 20% - now it will be easier to make headshots. Now all standard models of terrorists and special forces have the same size. At the same time, the hitbox of the head increased from 4% to 20% depending on the skin of the agent, and the hitboxes of the neck, hands and feet, on the contrary, decreased.
- Valve has improved Desert Eagle in CS 2.
Reddit users compared the spread of bullets when shooting with Desert Eagle in CS:GO and CS 2. Video c difference published in social networks.

Fans thought that in the new version of the shooter shooting with Desert Eagle will be similar to shots from CS: Source. Many criticized the developers for such an improvement, as the gun has a huge firepower for only $700.
Valve is recalling beta testers. Players believe that the global update is on its way.
