Counter-Strike 2 Update: patch history

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Enabled grenade crosshairs in freeze time for insta-smokes (just hold any grenade attack button)

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Fixed pixel-gaps in various Rush rooms.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Fixed some cases where loud reloads would persist while trying to stealth reload.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Fixed a case where it was possible to get a slightly faster silent reload by tapping the reload button before holding it.

• Fixed a case where it was possible to use silent reload to fire shotguns faster than normal.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• The new crosshair thickness and length units are in pixels. In the past, the values were defined with an arbitrary scale and converted to pixels based on display resolution so the same value would result in different pixel counts at different resolutions. With the new settings, if you want a 1-pixel wide crosshair with a bar length of 8 pixels and a gap of 4 pixels, then you would set: thickness = 1, length = 8, and gap = 4.

• Reduced the minimum dynamic spread distance to 64 pixels. The new dynamic crosshair styles will show you the real weapon spread and inaccuracy and the 'Dynamic Spread Limit' setting is a limit on how far the crosshair will spread at maximum inaccuracy and spread. There is a baseline spread distance of 64 pixels which covers the weapons with the largest spread so that players can better understand how accurate they actually are with their equipped weapon.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Rush is a fast-paced queued 3v3 game mode.

• Players battle through a series of battle arenas to reach the opponent's castle and win the match.

• Battle arenas are randomly selected for each match, so no two matches are the same.

• Control the tower when you eliminate the enemy team (or time expires) to win the round.

• Players can now reload silently (but slowly) by pressing and holding the reload key.

• Crosshairs have been updated to be resolution independent.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Updated the default crosshair to "Dynamic Quad," which better represents weapon accuracy.

Counter-Strike 2 Update

• Added an 'observable' property to custom_hud_layout that controls whether an observer sees the UI as the spectated player sees it. Defaults to false.

• Global chat is only readable in demo files when played back via the in-game watch UI.
