Maps

The Counter-Strike series is famous for its maps, and the level of skill required to master the game. Each map requires years and sometimes decades of effort to develop into the highest level of first-person shooter design that is competitive. The maps in the reserve and active pools are the most important aspect of the game to understand because they will help you understand the mechanics better and provide more tools to enjoy playing it.

Canals run through the map, which is an exciting feature. They are a nice addition to the map that makes it stand out from many other CSGO maps that are heavy on long exteriors.

Updates

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been around for the past ten years however it was in dire need of an update. Fans had been hoping for a Source 2 beta for CS:GO for a while, and Valve confirmed that the test is starting today. The studio promised the "largest technological leap for the game CS:GO" by redefining all aspects of the gameplay.

The most noticeable change to the game is the switch to Source 2, a graphics engine that gives a more life-like visual experience. This includes improved lighting and particle systems as well as a better concentration on making bullets more readable from farther away. The switch to the latest engine also led to a redesign of several maps that include a reworked version of Italy and Overpass.

The most important thing is that Valve's upgrade is intended to improve how the server architecture and tick rate handle the game's actions. The switch to 128 tick servers should make a big difference in the performance of the game as well as its visual quality. Valve promises that the change will be an "remarkable improvement" and will make CS:GO feel more responsive than before.

Aside from the graphical changes, players can expect several other game-play enhancements. For instance smoke grenades now be displayed as 3D volumetric objects in the game world, and can be pushed around to temporarily shape the viewlines. Valve claims that the update to the server architecture of the game will allow sub tick updates. This will result in a smoother and more precise experience.

Anyone who is interested can test the updated version of the game by accessing the limited test, which will be open to a limited number of players dependent on a few variables such as recent playtime and Steam account standing. Valve mentions that any cosmetics you've accumulated during the current CS games will carry over to the new version of the game when it launches later this summer. Esports Insider has reached out to BLAST, the largest CS:GO tournament organizer, to see whether it will offer an older version of the game to its leagues until the new update is released.
