New CS:GO Molotov inspired by fan request
Valve’s upcoming sequel to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Counter-Strike 2, is on its way and has recently been featured in a series of videos showcasing its new features. One of the exciting new additions is a persistent smoke grenade, which will appear the same to all players. The website for CS2 also revealed a new molotov grenade that uses the same liquid shader found in Half-Life: Alyx. Interestingly, this new molotov seems to have been inspired by a fan project from three years ago that suggested the use of Half-Life: Alyx’s liquid shader.
Improved Features in Counter-Strike 2
The new molotov is just one of the many exciting features that are set to arrive with Counter-Strike 2. Other enhancements include improved blood spatter that is now directional, allowing players to see patches of red on walls to reveal the angle from which they or their teammates were shot. Additionally, thanks to Source 2’s improved lighting, the game will feature better fires and explosions, while a complete UI overhaul will bring CS2 into the modern age.
Fans Eager to Test the Game
Many Counter-Strike fans are eagerly awaiting the release of CS2 and are going to extreme lengths to get invited to the limited technical test currently taking place. Although the test is invitation-only, one of the criteria for getting an invite is playtime. As a result, some players are sitting idle in CS:GO deathmatches to accumulate the necessary playtime.
Overall, Counter-Strike 2 looks like it’s shaping up to be an exciting sequel with many improvements over its predecessor. With new features such as the persistent smoke grenade and the enhanced molotov, as well as improved blood spatter and lighting effects, players are sure to enjoy the game’s new and improved gameplay. While the limited technical test may be frustrating for some fans eager to try out the new game, it’s clear that Valve is committed to ensuring that CS2 is as polished and enjoyable as possible.
