Yep. How do you develop a game for that ... Battlefield and Call of Duty for example are on the other side of the spectrum and always get into trouble.
people who complain that the update didnt reach their expectations are not real cs players, this is exactly what i needed, i didnt expect much only graphical changes and hopefully better mm system/tickrates but damn they came up with some new game dynamics, im excited to test them out
@@dogsushienjoyer People were expecting a new game but really what would they even do in a new game aside from what they did now they remade the whole game in a new engine added some features, spiced up the server tech. That's more than you could ask for in an competitively balanced and well liked game like counter strike.
could be the slogan for the new CS2 considering how accurate it is, they change so much, even gameplaywise but it's still the same basegame, feels really weird but they did it perfectly. Seeing forward to CS2 first Major, that will be nuts.
Precisely why I was waiting to hear his thoughts, I knew he was going to cover things like the settings menu and shadow differences. In fact, I’d watch a whole series of 10-minute videos of Philip covering the most minute changes he could think of checking.
xD I got on a csgo comp with a buddy that has access to cs2 and he asked our teammates if they were excited by the news, well their response was not that positive lulul, jesus this community sounds like a bunch of grumpy old men
U make so good videos man, some of my all time favorites, hope you'll keep at it with some cool and unique cs2 videos in the near future, big fan of your work, thanks
When smooya was streaming right after release people in chat were asking him to show the menu and settings. He annoyedly responded “what do you even want to see” and quickly closed it again. Thank you for finally scratching that itch, which annoying streamers can’t get to.
I mean I kinda get that the majority of people don’t care about the settings when the game literally just got released. Not saying it’s not important, I just think there is more interesting stuff to cover right after it’s release.
Uhhh not sure what communities you are around but basically nobody actually wants CS to change... we just wanted Source 2 for better graphics and performance and future updates (and easier map making)
Agreed, it's an absolutely perfect conclusion. I'm actually a bit disappointed by what I've seen of CS2 so far because it isn't changing as much as I would want and expect from the numbered title -- but that eagerness for change is probably why I'm just a casual CS fan and not part of the core fanbase lol
@@QuintessentialWalrusThe counter strike series is what it is because it stuck to its core mechanics without changing too much throughout its 20 years. It is one of the reasons for its longevity that not many games can reach. Them making too many changes would ruin their game. It is like chess. Chess is practically a perfect game with perfect mechanics that has existed for hundreds of years. It is a timeless classic that people can play and go back to whenever they want knowing that they can enjoy it every single time and chess rules have never changed in a long time.
Hey Philip, I've got no idea if you've ever heard of me before, and I'm not sure if you still read every comment like you used to. But, I want to say thank you so much for your work you've done on TH-cam over the last decade and a half talking about Valve's titles and CS history. From teaching me the basics of hammer years and years ago to heavily influencing my content, you are one of my main inspirations and I have nothing but respect and admiration for you and what you've done. Thanks for this great vid, and for everything else you do as well brother. Cheers
I'm genuinely glad that you took the time to do something like this. People are interested in the game's performance, and it is something that genuinely matters to a lot of players. However, a lot of content creator's first reactions were how they didn't like X, Y, & Z changes, but that the skins looked cool with the new lighting, how the game was obviously less advanced than Game X, or how they *might* get back into Counter-Strike, even though they don't like the new update.
I've recently started dabbling in editing videos, and for me the process takes forever, and the fact that 3kliksphilip can pump out high quality videos so quickly is impressive to me. Of course he's been doing this for years so he'll be proficient at making videos, but still impressive
honestly it depends on the video type and topic, the tools you use and how flashy you want it to be. you could do your video in passes, like one pass is just reviewing your video, checking your points, making sure you got everything, second pass is trimming and cutting the clips together, third one could be audio check, fourth is everything else like fancy effects and stuff. by doing this, you can integrate some stuff later down the like like doing pass 2 and 3 at the same time with relatively less time than you used to. or it just depends from person to person on how fast they perform said stuff, but we all can agree that a good workflow really speeds process up
I love how everyone is like "The gameplay...the gameplay..." and Philip is like: "let's look at the menu and Graphics settings". I love how Philip's videos are different from everyone else's.
No, Philip, this is quite literally exactly what I come here for. I love your super in depth digressions into the minutia of the game- if I wanted to know about the broad strokes, I’d just read the dev blog.
I actually appreciate this video. A lot of the game is browsing menus too, and getting out any weird issues or quirks and reporting them now is good overall for everybody IMO. You gotta do a video downsampling CS2 from 4k to 1080p, it probably looks beautiful on max settings.
2:00 I agree with scrollbar & moving the friends to the left. This will also enable for the Exit button to be moved top-right, right where it belongs. Another important UX suggestion: keep the buttons labeled. This is what helps new users navigate. You may hide them later based on player in-game hours.
I agree but >You may hide them later based on player in-game hours. Just make in an option, I'd hate for UI to randomly change based on gameplay hours.
My exit button remains typing "quit" in console or being tabbed out and closing from the taskbar since I *mostly* play faceit and end up tabbing out after every game. I haven't used the quit button in years. Also what fqdn said. Gameplay hours should not cause changes. If a user wants to change something, they should do it themselves. Also why do the friends need to move. Couldn't a scroll-bar be added to the left of where the friends are located? Definitely move the exit button to the top right though. That is one of the main reasons I don't use it even though I've spent thousands of hours it always feels unnatural to exit with the button.
I don’t agree with the friends section moving to the left; most people read left to right and thus that’s where the most important information should be placed. What they should do instead, is to have the sidebar appear under the menu bar instead of them overlapping each other, as the menu bar has higher hierarchical importance. In that case, they could test placing the exit button on the right, which allows for better muscle memory control.
Terrible idea. Friendlist is the most important thing. As such it has to be on the right side. Also Switching to fullscreen for News etc is bad this is a game menu not TH-cam where i want to watch a video.
Philip has been one of the few people that has VEHEMENTLY stuck with csgo for these past few drought-like years and he takes a break for a bit and cs2 is announced within that time
I loved the analysis on the menu! You have an excellent way of capturing otherwise dull subjects then presenting your investigations in an engaging manor! I've been eagerly awaiting on a video from you covering CS2 and it did not disappoint! Cheers :)
Haha, that's the old port i made at 1:16 :D i still can't believe we got the csgo betas back from porting old versions to new engines to actually getting those builds working again :D This made me smile, thanks for this :D
The most fun I've had in csgo was when they used to cycle through vibrant and silly maps, such as Cruise and zoo. I'm excited for these updates, butmore importantly for the fun, vibrant maps that will come out.
itd be realy cool if valve added customizablitiy to the main menu like how widgets work on phones. So if you want like a small hub of the news on the main menu you can and you can move it around.
That would be really cool if you want to have the major up while reading through updates and be able to control where and to what size it will be. Displaying inventory skins would be sick as well. Maybe a weapon wall of sorts?
I got into cs because of you, I've actually been binging your vids before the cs2 announce and everything has lined up--Keep up the unique and interesting discussion pieces, there ain't no one else like it... Even in other games.
2:36 Whoa, whoa, whoa, everybody shut up, we're all sleeping on the biggest piece of news here: Valve figured out how to do radial phong shading! Now we can get realistically-rendered records, CDs, brushed-metal stereo knobs, and those trash cans that _Left 4 Dead_ has in its subway level!
Great video. Minor detail highlight videos are great and can't wait for graphs, performance videos next. Really would like to see every graphical settings comparison videos about cs2 and while it get changes through the beta phase
I still really like the 2018 scaleform 1:24 the new panorama feels bloated and airy, rather than neatly profiled, also the audio on the main menu wigs me out being inconsistent in each ear 🙃
I guess that's why Valve doesn't fix broken and useless weapons like the R8, CZ, p2000, m249, and mp5sd. I guess that's why Valve doesn't fix "fun" gamemods like demolition, retake, etc. Why don't the devs try to fix it first?
Valorant players doesn't understand this... They just want content content content and content. We CS player enjoyed simple things, move flick shoot, simple contents like skins without too much gimmicks
Bro, you know what other game who only changes its engine but get huge backlash? OVERWATCH They just get graphic update and changes from 6 to 5 player groups Ppl angry more to blizzard than valve simply bcs blizzard make it felt like greed
Thanks, i actually apreaciate you being on holiday because its not the 3rd time someone reads patchnotes to me. Instead you actually provide helpful details. Thank you for your service
As a side note: CS2 "still" uses MSAA because it's using a forward renderer. Forward renderers are thought to be less performant for AAA ultra graphics type games but they have less fixed overhead so they are great for less graphically intense VR applications (Half-Life Alyx) Deferred renderers which almost all modern AAA games use make MSAA prohibitively expensive mostly because it eats insane amounts of memory bandwidth
My understanding is that deferred rendering can handle a lot more dynamic lights on screen at once without slowing down, which is one of its major advantages. CS can do without this: super busy light effects would be distracting for competitive play, and most maps only have the sun with maybe a few light bulbs in a tunnel or something.
Thank you 2Kliks brother for taking the time to poke around before doing an in depth break down. Respect for taking your time to understand it, instead of treating it like a speed runner
No, thank you Phillip for the unique look on CS2. Was curious how they'd handle performance for E-sport/low end settings, and wondering how the menu looked. Excited for it's release this summer. I wonder if some point Valve will implement RTX to Source 2 for those who have the hardware, or just those who want fancier graphics, or least so future Source 2 games like another Half-Life Alyx could have RTX ready to utilize. (If they already did, awesome)
I doubt the majority of player want RT in CS2 the game always focus on performance over graphics not to mention it's expensive too so it's not worth to trade the graphics over performance for game like this imo
@@kratosgow342 true, true. Still though would be cool seeing RTX on source since it also handles lighting so ambient reflections would occur in real time like real life. Also do we can mirrors in source 2. Portal cameras could work as well, yes.
How did you manage to be double wrong. 2018 scaleform is called that because that was the last year and last version of scaleform UI. Which was relevant to the panorama update video he made. Likewise that version of scaleform was added in 2013.
Bro.. i had a dream 5 days ago.. you were in the dream twice!.. Me and my friends were playing minecraft then i saw your name next to our base.. i was shocked lol.. next we went to play 5v5 custom csgo match.. and there you were.. your ingame name was 3kliks2kills 😂.. it was on dust2 you were running outside B site door (Mid-B).. as soon as i saw your name i was laughing so hard that i woke up laughing and wondering why im laughing xD
@@3kliksphilip hahaha what a dream!. my 6k hours wont get me in.. been away from cs for a bit.. i dream every single day.. and i try to write them as much as possible.. now i have a library of my dreams that i visit when ever i want. Lately i have been stressed out from college and life stuff.. seeing you in the dream made me wake up laughing and so energized for some reason.. you made my entire year! ❤
Unpopular opinion: the “busy” “old old menu” was the best one since it actually maximises screen space. The new UI (the one with basically just 6 icons and everything hidden by default) would literally fit on a phone, but just looks white spaced af and empty imo and introduces unnecessary additional clicks to gain access to information.
im so stupid that havent subbed yet and ive been watching your videos for quite some time lol sorry and cheers for the new sub ! and you and your dads music is top shelf !
Thanks Philip, your videos highlight Details and potential problems no other TH-cam seems to care about. Very interesting Video for me, who doesn't have access to source 2 yet
In one video you gave me more unique info than all the others I have watched. Feels like you are adding to the official videos put out, rather than regurgitating that information. I have been really curious how players choose which client to load, and what graphics settings will be available, and you overdeliver by going into consequences of such things. You are awesome!
what an amazing ending. the absolute best way to describe us cs players. "a player base thats bored of how things are, but doesnt want it to change" XD
4:55 You can hear the childlike joy Philip is experiencing by finally, after all these years, being able to say "Counter Strike" and "Upscaling" in the same sentence and have it be a hard fact, not just speculation and optimism. Happy for you Philip.
This is the video everyone is waiting for Only you and Maxi made its rest talking about what we know since launch. Thank you for making it and hope more information is coming soon ❤️
Thats why I love 3kliksphilip. No other content creator goes into this sort of depth about the menu. But as someone without access I really wanted to see the menu and not just the smokes over and over again. So thank you!
I don't play CS but this looks awesome!! The smoke looks awesome, the lighting looks awesome, even just getting to see your legs when you look down is awesome!! I can what for it to release
loved this video. ive been interested in your take cause i know that you love to analyze every nook and cranny of the game so this was a great start hopping into the menu and the graphics settings. cant wait for the next one! im sure you got a lot of stuff to test that no one else will!
The new intro and menus are awesome, I particularly like the blue tint effect on the buttons of the main sections Of course, modern gaming comes in and add this character to the main screen with the player logo. It made me die a bit inside. I'll take it for that sick intro though.
Props to the CS:GO team for always doing major announcements and updates when it's most inconvenient for Philip.

Still though would be cool seeing RTX on source since it also handles lighting so ambient reflections would occur in real time like real life. Also do we can mirrors in source 2. Portal cameras could work as well, yes.
I love all the silliness in this video and the cool outro too
Minor correction: You have the last Scaleform menu listed as "2018 Scaleform" when in fact that menu was introduced in 2015.
How did you manage to be double wrong. 2018 scaleform is called that because that was the last year and last version of scaleform UI. Which was relevant to the panorama update video he made. Likewise that version of scaleform was added in 2013.
maybe the footage was gathered in 2018? Idk maybe not
@@Scrum_Master_Revolution lol triple wrong, clearly it was introduced in 1963. And was removed in 2026.
This is hype. Hope your graphs across all your channels sharply rise up again!
Bro.. i had a dream 5 days ago.. you were in the dream twice!..
Me and my friends were playing minecraft then i saw your name next to our base.. i was shocked lol.. next we went to play 5v5 custom csgo match.. and there you were.. your ingame name was 3kliks2kills 😂.. it was on dust2 you were running outside B site door (Mid-B).. as soon as i saw your name i was laughing so hard that i woke up laughing and wondering why im laughing xD
@@3kliksphilip hahaha what a dream!. my 6k hours wont get me in.. been away from cs for a bit.. i dream every single day.. and i try to write them as much as possible.. now i have a library of my dreams that i visit when ever i want. Lately i have been stressed out from college and life stuff.. seeing you in the dream made me wake up laughing and so energized for some reason.. you made my entire year! ❤
The best part of the update is still left unchecked, the new hammer world editor
Unpopular opinion: the “busy” “old old menu” was the best one since it actually maximises screen space. The new UI (the one with basically just 6 icons and everything hidden by default) would literally fit on a phone, but just looks white spaced af and empty imo and introduces unnecessary additional clicks to gain access to information.
im so stupid that havent subbed yet and ive been watching your videos for quite some time lol sorry and cheers for the new sub ! and you and your dads music is top shelf !
I love the more cartoonish art direction Valve is taking, every game should go that route if possible.
yess because cartoonish artstyle is timeless, look at tf2
Thanks Philip, your videos highlight Details and potential problems no other TH-cam seems to care about. Very interesting Video for me, who doesn't have access to source 2 yet
In one video you gave me more unique info than all the others I have watched. Feels like you are adding to the official videos put out, rather than regurgitating that information. I have been really curious how players choose which client to load, and what graphics settings will be available, and you overdeliver by going into consequences of such things.
You are awesome!
what an amazing ending. the absolute best way to describe us cs players. "a player base thats bored of how things are, but doesnt want it to change" XD
4:55 You can hear the childlike joy Philip is experiencing by finally, after all these years, being able to say "Counter Strike" and "Upscaling" in the same sentence and have it be a hard fact, not just speculation and optimism. Happy for you Philip.
Thank you so much for talking in depth about graphic options. It's absolutely helpful for me to know I can try running Source 2.
Welcome back Philip, it's very exciting to see your in-depth analysis of cs2 and the first video about it was the most informative thing about cs2 yet
This is the video everyone is waiting for Only you and Maxi made its rest talking about what we know since launch. Thank you for making it and hope more information is coming soon ❤️
Amazing video! Thank you for providing us with these insights, so different from the mainstream reviews ❤
Lots of welcome changes. and it's nice to see that the lighting are even better than I expected!
Thats why I love 3kliksphilip. No other content creator goes into this sort of depth about the menu. But as someone without access I really wanted to see the menu and not just the smokes over and over again. So thank you!
first one to actually give insight into the most important aspects of the update
8:27 you know, I was really expecting some sassy remark or something. Well played.
Your line at the end of the video is absolutely on point for this.
Thank you Philip. Even if I don’t care much about the settings menu,I still enjoy watching your videos.
my favourite game with the most in depth menus . thank you phillip
the #1 source for csgo related videos a true og
unique perspective as always, looking forward to more CS2 content from you :)
i KNEW that you took your time to upload because you will indeed give us quality content as always. Thanks, Phillip.
I don't play CS but this looks awesome!! The smoke looks awesome, the lighting looks awesome, even just getting to see your legs when you look down is awesome!! I can what for it to release
Philip over here thinking we want more content as soon as a new update comes out. Enjoy your time off, you really do deserve it. c:
The Messiah returned ! So much to test and see from you !
I havent played CS in over 6 years, but I still regularly watch Philip's videos, thats how good his content is 😄
“bored of how things are but doesn’t want it to change” is such a perfect description
this is the info most would like to hear but no one talks about, ty philip
thanks for taking one for the team and finally go on vacation again.
loved this video. ive been interested in your take cause i know that you love to analyze every nook and cranny of the game so this was a great start hopping into the menu and the graphics settings. cant wait for the next one! im sure you got a lot of stuff to test that no one else will!
The new intro and menus are awesome, I particularly like the blue tint effect on the buttons of the main sections
Of course, modern gaming comes in and add this character to the main screen with the player logo. It made me die a bit inside.
I'll take it for that sick intro though.
Great video as usual, I'm looking forward to the upcoming ones
I definitely didn't want an in depth video of the menu but I do appreciate it
ur work is greatly appreciated philip! give us more videos about all the finer details we love them!!
hope you had a great vacation. and thanks again for your sacrifice :P
I was starting to get worried, and here your video is! Great
I'm looking forward to all your great content with a promising looking new game!
I remember when you used to make Multimedia Fusion tutorials lol
Nice to see how far you've come since then :)
Been waiting for you to get back lol welcome back!
