Nice update, Valve! :-)

– Detail sprites (like grass) have been improved so many more can be rendered for much cheaper.

What does it mean? Detail sprites like in older games now working in CS:GO or static props will be rendered smoothly (better option - dynamic shadows...)?

We're already talking about this in the CSGO topic

But regarding your question, it literally just means that the grass is now easier for your computer to render, so you can now have more of them without hindering your performance.

@Sprony could we please merge this into the CSGO topic?

people got banned for abusing that last time, so don't try anything

Has the game been broken for anyone else? Mine crash back to desktop randomly and like each 5minutes of game.

Nevermind, amd hardware isn't supported apparently, even people with brand new and top notch amd hardware can't play it in a stable manner. Maybe it has something to do with the new graphics setting they implemented for grass etc?

Its sad that de_neutron didnt make it.
cs_cruise doesnt look finished! not ready for an operation.

Agree there!

I guess cs_cruise was just added to have a hostage map. Usually Skybex' maps are very polished. But cs_cruise feels like less than 70% done to me. There are plenty of issues and the map looks pretty empty in general.

Still a promising operation.

Congrats to all the mapc0rians getting into the operation. Eager to play some of those maps in competitive matchmaking after that exam tmrw. 'o_x

I also like the level of detail in newk, very nice. And I've spotted deliveries/containers with the train logo. Russia and USA working together, huh?

I just made a run in Nuke and I'm impressed. The map is really really nice now and the improvement they made in the gameplay are interesting.

Some containers say "Made in Australia". Is there more to come?

Maybe you know it already, theres a buggy deathmatch spawn at santorini where you stuck in the wall

It's specifically the shader setting. Don't go above medium and you should be fine.

I hope valve are currently hoovering up mappers to give all maps the nuke treatment. That + source2 at the same time would turn the 20millon accounts into 40m.

Dust2 looks like a css map now in comparison to the new stuff getting put out.

Yeah but some of us toasters dropped from 120+ fps on old nuke to 40-60 fps on newke, either way it's a really beautiful map.

I'm just really excited about all the new assets that map makers get to play around with. Some of the new models and textures on Nuke look pretty good.

that's where Source 2 should help. Right now source doesn't utilise multiple cores properly, if at all (I'm not sure what the support is). However, Source 2 will utilise all cores you throw at it so the days of Intel's superior "per core performance" gaming CPUs would be numbered and a lot of the cheaper multi-core AMD CPUs will handle games much better.
