Game update
CS2 has had another update.
We used to think that was a good thing. Now it just worries us every time.
And with good reason, apparently. Plenty of pros are complaining about how the game feels right now after Valve said that they improved sub-tick in the patch notes.
You can’t polish a turd, lads.
Grenade sounds also got a big overhaul during the update, which we know is something we’ve all been asking for.
Actually, we don’t really mind this part of the update. The new sounds are a bit too loud, but they sound good. The added realism in the new versions is quite appreciated.
The big talking point, though, is the new Genesis Collection. Which, instead of being available via the normal case system, can be obtained through a Genesis Uplink Terminal.
A Genesis Uplink Terminal - which you can get through a weekly drop - allows you to access the Arms Dealer, who will then offer to tell you a gun from within the collection. Don’t like what he’s offering? Cool, just pass on it and see what he offers next, which you can do up to five times.
Surely this is a good thing, right? Instead of opening a case, hoping for gold, and eventually seeing a P250 Sand Dune, you now get five goes at it, right?
Well, sort of. You do then have to buy the skin from the Arms Dealer. Which would be great if the good skins weren’t ridiculously expensive.
We’re sure there’s nothing nefarious about that.
The last thing worth mentioning from the update is that you can now inspect a teammate’s inventory when spectating.
Great. We’re really struggling to hold back our excitement.
Actually, no, that might be a good change actually. We all have really good inventories.
Or maybe we’ve all just spent too much money on this game.
Hmm.
