Both ambient occlusion and global shadows can be used in CS2 to spot enemy player's presence before you actually see them. Thanks to CS2 finally having real time shadows and occlusion indoors. Having shadows on low is factually putting yourself at a disadvantage.
@@EagleFPV43 it's never about fps. It's about game to render latency. most of the time when ur game feels choppy latency is the issue not fps. I would happily play with 100 fps locked with 10ms frame time. I play with 150 fps and my frame time jumps around allot especially when nades are poppin.
@ahnafrayeedahmed yh i rarely have more than 20ms latency. Op was stating that fps affects it, which would only be true at extremes like 30fps where it doesn't update fast enough to display fast actions from the enemy
Thanks for this video man, lots of useful info for the first time CS player, I've played lots of high skill gap games such as Tarkov for instance but the skill gap here is insane with this game, I feel like a new born child trying to play this. This video was really helpful
Needed this played a decent amount of CS GO but its been at least 4 years since I played even weekly. Looking forward to actually grinding CS2 and learning the "chess moves," essentially.
when I first started out, I sucked at aiming and shooting. but I tried my best to understand game sense and patterns, and even if I lost a duel or got myself killed I was able to help the team on a macro level in terms of positioning and area control. don't be one of those people who prioritize getting kills above all else. even if you suck at aiming, you can still be an asset to your team just by having decent positioning and game sense.
Just actually discovered this game on Steam, Ive heard CS GO, the whole bit, but actually seeing Counter Strike 2 and the graphics, I could just tell that this was a game with an incredibly high skill ceiling. One can only hope the matchmaking is good. Or this is gonna be smoke show for me. I'm picking this title up and gonna get started. Better late than never.
Just logged into steam after months of not gaming due to college work I had no idea cs:go was now cs2 so this video was perfect for me whilst im waiting for the game to download and update thankyou :)
To the new CS players and those who are returning from a long hiatus, welcome home! Remember to always think positively, especially when you meet certain grumpy trolls who do nothing but talk trash. Don't take the game too seriously and don't rage over a lost. At the end of the day, we're all here to have fun and a famous quote from CSGO: Hey, sometimes your opponent is just having a really good day Enjoy the game and remember to jiggle peek
I have to say, in the Graphics settings I would turn Shadows on high atleast because the Players have Shadows now and I had a lot of situations where I was able to see enemies before they knew I was there
I played csgo a few years ago and i feel like ive been left behind, i wasnt good before but now im just so f-ing bad hahahahaha this helped a bit entering again in the game, thanks for the video, i hope there is more videos about mechanics and how to play it and going a bit more in depth with time, thanks!
Good video! I needed this. I used to play CS:GO back in like 2017-2019. Then I desied to try cheating, and got VAC banned (my own fault). And I just got CS2. And well leasson learned. Never cheat kids.
The Pros are so far ahead of the average player! Absolutely true. This game has been there for so long that people who had been playing it from the beginning, or for a long time, has almost mastered it. Newbies and average players will be completely obliterated, and may even lose interest to continue playing anymore.
My philosophy back in the day for csgo as someone who primarily played solo queue was to get my aim as best as I could so I can tear through everyone in my way but good aim will truly only take you so far.
yup. From what I've gathered in my 10+ years of CS, pure aim will get you to about MGE-DMG. Anything higher, is slightly less reliant on aim because generally higher ranks already are good at aiming so its not a standout factor.
forgot to mention how toxic the community is and how to get them to stop crying about little things so new players can actually learn and enjoy the game
Windows 11 has a feature that bypasses the technicality that always gave borderless 3 frames of extra input lag on by default for games. especially if you wanna do stuff on secondary monitors and not have your game break for a few seconds, there is no real disadvantage to borderless windowed anymore. as a bonus, freesync and g-sync work natively in borderless now
I have 60 hours in arms race at CS:GO. 17 hours in zombie modes in 1.6. 5 hours in LAN on condition zero 660 hours in multigame servers on counter strike source. And now i have 60 hours in CS2 competetive. I have no idea how to play this game competetive but im just now for the first time ever grasping the straws on what game sense is and how to move
I honestly dont know how people learn spray patterns. i recently tried out cs2 after playing valorant for 2 years and my peak is ascendant 3 and every time i play cs2 theres this one guy who just sprays and kills me like instantly and i try to tap strafe and then when i try to control my spray it just doesnt work? any tips?
I've heard you can learn the spray patterns by just firing different guns at a wall and looking at the patterns the bullet holes make, but I'm a noob so take that with a grain of sat
As a dad gamer, at 39 years old, I have no clue how to play this. I loved, and when I say I loved, I mean I exclusively played Search and Destroy on COD. Team deathmatch never interested me. I wanted that one life, map knowledge experience. I'm sad I didnt' discover this earlier, but that's what I love.
Dope video bro u did good explaining everything to a new player lmaoo. Haven’t played much of CS:GO I only played it a couple times and now I’m gonna try to get good at cs2!
For me, placing crosshair down a lil from the head more stomach level bc of recoil and everyone crouches first usually lol maybe just a me thing, but coming from console to this game and playing on keyboard for the first time, has been a real struggle lol especially with this game
I play the game on and off, used to play 1.6 back in the day and in CSGO I had around 100-200 hrs but I have never tried ranked or even casual. 90% of time is playing deathmatch and 90% of that on dust 2. Kind of wanna actually try playing ranked a bit here and then
As a new player to CS and FPS overall, it would be nice to have more beginners videos. I enjoyed a lot playing against bots but it's so frustrating to go online just to die every 2 seconds without dealing any damage at all...
Everyone is bad. Even people who have 200, 400, 600, 800 hours and so on. Everyone has something to learn (I’m considered new af at 240+ hours). Everyone messes up their shot or lineups or utility throws. There’s always a mistake to be made and a lesson learned. Occasionally, you may do just about everything right and still just get outplayed or overwhelmed. I say play the game and always always stick to a mindset of “what can I learn from this?”
My best advice by the way is to, apart from the bare minimum basics, learn one map that’s in the competitive selection such as mirage. Learn the callouts, peeks, utility throws, routes, angles to hold. That’s for specific maps. For general game knowledge and skill, lookup aim training maps to download from the workshop, practice “counter-strafing”, aim tracking, crosshair placement on the head, spray patterns for the AK47, both M4’s, MAC-10, MP9, UMP45, USP-S, Glock, P-250, Five-SeveN. As you may observe, these are non-snipers that I recommend sticking to. I would generally avoid the SSG-08 aka “Scout” because it’s a particularly difficult gun to use that becomes quite strong in the early game once you’ve acquired a hefty amount of game sense, aim training, and mechanical skill. You will also want to learn economy, which you can find tutorials for here on YT. Just look up CS2 economy guide. A lot of the information from different sources say a lot of the same things so it’s hard to go wrong there.
I'll be bad but I don't care, I'm never going pro anyway at 31 with a full job. Trying this game for the first time tonight, despite knowing CS for a long time and having not played a FPS since 2017. This will be fun.
I've been playing CS since Source, literally over half of my life, and I still suck at it. Don't worry, like any PvP game there are sweat lords or people who will be salty if you're not doing well, but 9 times out of 10 people won't say anything.
Hi I played on my mobile ( totally different) anyway I’m a streamer for another game and I thought I would try this out you know expand abit 😂 was totally clueless this has helped alot . Thank you 🙏
I’m just trying to learn because this is all my friends will be playing for a bit. I’m so bad it’s frustrating. Probably easier to find other people to play other games with.
even though i have set a different gun in loadout, i always start up with a pistol while everyone else has much sophisticated guns, how to change the start up gun, how is that others have different start up guns?
How does spraying work? You mentioned not bringing it up, and I'm not sure what it is like you assumed. Can someone summarize it or link the vid mentioned?
This game is difficult. I was an old CS 1.6 competeter, so my muscle memories from CS 1.6 is making things fairly difficult, it's not the same game that's for sure. What is difficult with CS2, and CSGO I presume, is that to get a head-shot you really have to hit an enemies head right on, no room for errors, and if you miss the headshot you will try to spray, but the spray in this game seems to be none existent, so what you are left with is one-tapping only, and it's really difficult. In the end you have no idea where you have the game, and you get no flow with it whatsoever. Not to mention the sound that is completely confusing.
I came back to CS after 20+ years break and holy hell is everyone toxic. I usually open the match by telling I am starting again and them to call orders but even when I am doing well in a match people just rage. How are you supposed to get better when everyone just flames? I understand it's annoying when someone is clueless in your team but then it's your job to make them at least somewhat useful. I have been learning the nades and trying to support my team at any cost and slowly getting back at it again. Love the game, community could use some work haha
guys im new to cs so im playing cs2 i usually play valorant so im trying out new things but one thing i dont know how to do is go in a practice range or something like that how do u do it?

Wow. Appreciate the effort here Ahrora!
Just actually discovered this game on Steam, Ive heard CS GO, the whole bit, but actually seeing Counter Strike 2 and the graphics, I could just tell that this was a game with an incredibly high skill ceiling.

It is not good matchmaking at all lol

Just logged into steam after months of not gaming due to college work I had no idea cs:go was now cs2 so this video was perfect for me whilst im waiting for the game to download and update thankyou :)
I really resonate with you comparing cs to chess. Thinking about to next steps and expecting moves can save you many rounds.

Thx for the information
a few more beers for confidence
My last CS is 1.6. I'm shocked how much the game has changed
I have to say, in the Graphics settings I would turn Shadows on high atleast because the Players have Shadows now and I had a lot of situations where I was able to see enemies before they knew I was there
Thanks for this comment. I was on the fence about adjusting that setting.
never played cs in my life, watching this with cs2 on download. thanks for the tips
Love the Beeg Yoshi pfp
Same but a bit later. Hopefully the game will be fun.
Best quote "CS is chess but with a gun" 🤣
Downloaded yesterday and got my ass kicked. Literally what I was looking for! 🙏🏻

Global Shadow Quality on low is a huge disadvantage in CS 2. With this setting you can't see the shadows of any player.

I'm playing with a 3050 and i only get 120, my screen is 120Hz so maybe the game caps the fps?
Doesnt cap, but the 3050 cant go above. Try disable vertical sync and see if goes better
was there no texture filtering i have that option dnt see it for u ahve
