You can use cl_teamid_overhead_fade_near_crosshair 1 to fade your teammates overhead info when your crosshair gets close to them. This helps prevent the info from blocking your view of enemies, which can happen in situations like this example on Inferno. 🫡

After the changes to bullet impact visibility in the Rush Hour update, decals from previous shots also seem to produce a smoke effect whenever you fire another shot. Not sure if I’m explaining this correctly, but the video shows what I mean. 👇

In today’s CS2 update, the devs capped aim punch at 90 degrees. Here’s a comparison of how it behaved before vs now. This issue isn’t new and didn’t start with AnimGraph2, but it’s good to see it fixed. 🫡

BTW CS2 smokes can now react to lighting changes. Rush triggers it whenever a room's lights switch team colours, so smokes should change colour with the room. This came with the update on 26th Sept.

CS2 Animations - Before vs After Update I personally think they improved the bob effect by like 10% and everything feels a bit slower. Will post more before vs after under this.

In CS2, the shadow render distance is affected by the resolution. Here's 4:3 vs 16:9 comparison at the highest video settings. This was discovered by u/crisjame while he was watching a match of Falcons vs. LVG.

Everything that you need to know about Pets in CS2 ‼️ - You get an Egg as a weekly drop from Weekly Care Package, and it takes one week or so (7 days or more) for it to hatch into a chick. - Pets require Chicken Feed to remain around and you get that through the Weekly Care Packages. And yes, your pet will leave you if it isn't fed. - Lifecycle of a Pet: Egg -> Chick -> Pullet -> Hen - As your Pet grows, it becomes progressively more integrated with the game: younger stages (Chick) are restricted, while an older pet (Pullet) can accompany you in your matches. - You will be able to name or rename your Pet and its history is preserved in a HatchBook. - The HatchBook will have history of all your pets, which are no longer with you. It's auto-generated. - There's a Photo Booth where you can take your Pet's Photo in poses, filters, hats, effects (fire/lightning/confetti) and unlockable map stages. - Certain photo poses, locations and activities are restricted until the Pet reaches the required age/maturity. - Also, there are milestones, birthdays, special interactions that you can celebrate with your Pet. - Your pet has its own achievement/progression flags like Warehouse unlocks simply when the pet reaches Pullet (level 2). Dust II, Baggage, Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Cache, Train and Ancient each have their own visited-* achievement. - You need to finish a match on the map on official servers to get that specific achievement. - There are also survival or bravery achievements like killed-by-burn, killed-by-taser and killed-by-planted-c4. - And in the end of it's life cycle your pet, can retire due to age despite feeding it properly by playing every week. ❌ What we don't know right now is the exact growth times between Chick -> Pullet -> Hen and exact adult lifespan. I hope this clears out your doubts about the Pet system.

In today's CS2 update, there's a new convar called mp_shoot_dropped_grenades - it allows you to detonate dropped grenades when you shoot on them. It's disabled by default (obviously) but maybe it's for any upcoming game mode?? 🤔

Built a Python script that visualizes directional sound cues so I can show the difference between different L/R Isolation values in CS2. As you can see, with L/R Isolation set to 0%, the sound always comes from the center.
