New CS Rating System​

Go beyond ranks.

Revolutionary Smoke Mechanics​

Smokes are now dynamic volumetric particles that interact with the environment, light, bullets, and explosions.

• Tactical Gameplay: Bullets and grenades can move the smoke — spread it out or clear it temporarily.
• Natural Movement: Smoke flows through doors, broken windows, up stairs, and down corridors.
• Light Interaction: Smokes respond to lighting, appearing more realistic and immersive.

Sub-Tick Architecture​

No more tick-rate limitations.
With the new sub-tick system, servers now respond instantly to your movements, shots, and grenade throws — making gameplay more responsive and consistent than ever before.

Reimagined Maps​

A fresh look at legendary battlegrounds.

• Fully Rebuilt — Created from scratch with Source 2 tools. (Example: Overpass)
• Upgraded — Enhanced with Source 2 lighting and realistic rendering. (Example: Nuke)
• Touchstone — Classic layouts with improved readability and visuals. (Example: Dust II)

Map creators now have access to Source 2 tools for easier, faster, and more powerful map development.
