People really, really like the look of Counter-Strike 2.

the counter strike 2 hopium is real pic.twitter.com/7KjckDI3rZAnd while I'm embedding the tweets... this is kinda my favourite, even though it was made about a week ago.How the wider scene reacts when the game is in peoples' hands we'll know very soon.

"Honestly, when I saw the video reveal, my jaw hit the floor; no more waiting out for smoke walls or"smoke criminals". Players bring able to shoot through smoke grenades, or blow a hole in them, will quite literally change the game forever. The behaviour of the smokes mean players adapting line-ups tried and tested over years and experimenting with new ones. I can't wait to see them in action. Hopefully at the second Major championship of 2023...

Getting back to more specific changes and community reaction, I quite like the change in aesthetic: This is a brighter and cleaner looking game. Others are not so keen, preferring the more muted palette of CS:GO. ."This looks a bit too vivid and bright imo. Remember, we're talking about a game that's about terrorists blowing up cities, not some Hello Kitty browser game."

Clearly Hello Kitty has changed somewhat since I last checked-in. One point here, though, which Valve has not explicitly addressed and I can't see in the videos unless I missed it, is whether Counter-Strike 2 will re-name the teams. The point has often been made that, while this is the most-popular competitive FPS around, the 'Terrorist' and 'Counter-Terrorist' designations may prevent it being even more popular.

Well that all got rather serious. Other reactions are more... esoteric."While I was watching the news about CS2, the shelf my wife just built broke above her head as well as the head of my son, who is five years old,"."My wife was literally hit by Karl Marx' second volume of The Kapital while my son got the best of Marx' letters. Her head was still bleeding while i was pondering about gas grenades, my son screamed like there was no tomorrow.
