This CS2 Update is What We Asked For 

finally left handed viewmodel now i can finally go from silver to faceit lvl 10

It's a good thing you pointed out it was green screen for a second there I thought you were running 100km/hr down the road.

Something not mentioned regarding showing the dropped weapons in the buy menu. You can click on the weapons in the menu, and it will automatically pick them up for you, even if they were out of range.

130 VAC bans today that is 13 times higher than average amount of bans for past month. Edit** It was Case farmers and bots, which got banned, not even cheaters lmao.

Everyone knows you're a secret Valve employee! You can't hide it from us!!!

As an awper, the dropped weapons change is absolutely huge. The amount of times a teammate has tried to throw me an awp, only to have it land on the person between us who then absent mindedly buys another weapon, dropping it to the ground out of range until the round starts, is way too many. I never have to worry about being late to peaking a corner because i have to run to get my gun first ever again. Valorant didn't have this problem since you can move before the round starts, so this is a very elegant solution on their part, love to see it.

I've started playing CS in 1999 and always used lefthanded. Back then only lefthanded existed because the creator of the mod is lefthanded and he programmed it for him. I also write with lefthand, but use the mouse (and throw) with righthand. So for me using lefthand was more natural. Playing with righthand in CS2 was so annoying, I barely could play it. Also switchhands is insanely usefull, I don't care about the peeking. This is nonsense mambo jambo theory. What I care for is when the weapon model is blocking my view because someone could walk below me then I can switch hands so the view to that bottom corner below me isn't blocked anymore.

Seems like WarOwl's pseudo hiatus is all that was needed for Valve to make a move!

you can also pick up dropped weapons from that menu even if you are not in range

Give me de_train or give me death

It turns out I was using the "couch" preset with some heavy offsets.. so I had to find a new viewmodel for me

Can we agree tho that we need like at least 2 new maps to make cs2 it’s own game. I wonder if they’re cooking up something special

Read the title, was excited and thought Valve finally did something about the cheater problem. Instead we can switch to lefthand weapons now. Yeah, this makes the game fun again.... Don't get me wrong, the updates are surely good. But the title is a bit misleading, they fixed issues with bottom priority while the top issue and reason so many people don't play this game anymore still doesn't get any attention whatsover.

The "trusted partners" thing is probably the AI anticheat they had partnered with a while back. Well, not officially. But during an interview at the company they had said they recently partnered with a "Very high profile company that would benefit from our product." If anyone remembers what company it is throw it in the replys, I cant remember. I just remember the whole "We've trained it to memorize how each individual player plays. A style unique to you, so that even if cheaters make a new account they'll be banned immediately because they can't hide their unique playstyle and habits"

FYI: left handed model and changing your viewmodel can give you an advantage of being able to see through smokes from the little holes from your bullets make

7:32 How about not launching a half-assed game that's missing 1/3rd of the features of the game it's replacing (and making it so that you can't play the old game) in the first place ? And somehow they still don't seem to have addressed the performance issues of CS2, it's become unusable for certain players, even with good mid-range PCs..

1000 hours and 100 premier wins to access overwatch would be a good start

Yeah I don't understand either why the holes in the smokes aren't just centred. The bullets are coming from the eyes, so it doesn't make sense the holes come from the right/left.

First game I played since update, got a 5 stack ferrari peaking every held corner and never missing I'll wait another week for VAC to do it's thing

7:47 i would have given them that had they not removed go and treated this as an update using the same store page etc. With that context they did take stuff away

I wanted left hand because I'm left handed IRL and it just feels more natural to have the weapon in the way I actually hold it

-mirage -inferno +Train +cobble

FMPONE Cache remake is gonna be fantastic... can't wait til its in.

thanks for talking about the nametag update, didn't know that, many other youtubers didn't cover that neat update.

See, after ONE video, they listen, its clear VALVE DONT care about the community before the RU-vidrs (WarOwl and 3KlikPhilip) points it out!

finally left handed but still the silly mirrored version with inversed stickers.. so I have now an animation to not switch hands but magically mirror my gun?!

I like that ”mic slowly dojoing back to the ceiling”-effect you used in this video.

No, we had asked for vac improvement and vac live, which are not available yet.

CZ change unironically fire, had so much fun with it yesterday.

am I looking this correctly, 3:05, his microwave has none of that rotating plate?

The left/right eye dominance argument is nonsense because both eyes are seeing the same flat 2D image. Left/right eye dominance only matters IRL or in any other kind of vision system where the image shown to each eye is different.

Something a bit miss leading is that the view model is now server sided as you can see in the patch note: Viewmodel position setting and left/right hand state are now networked and visible to first-person spectators. However it does only work in game and not during the demo feature (that's why it appears to be client sided for you). I don't know if the smoke tracer is different in live games tho

Who would have guessed that the developers never stopped working on the game and are actively aware of problems with the game.

Bonus info: when you spectace someone now you see if he's using right or left haned viewmodel and his viewmodel (if he set it other than classic).

the problem with defending valve for giving back something they took away just because "cs2 is a new game" is that valve forcibly deleted csgo from everyone's steam libraries and replaced it with untested beta-level software that they didn't ask for, without even having the barest minimum of "decency" to announce that it was gonna happen.

A more sober take on the overpass removal: the map was prone to micro stutters and lag over time, especially on B site with a bunch of smokes. Less so now than on release, but people on lower end PCs probably have more problems than most of redditors and content creators.

Neat, but I'm sad they're just mirrored and not actually the left handed view of the gun. And the AKs rear sight leaf is still set to 800 yards 😢

The spike in VAC bans were bots farming crates, not cheaters. So no, it really is not the update we were asking for.

I've been waiting for this for so long, I used to bind in csgo, makes peaking from the left so much nicer, glad to have it back.

they actually nerfed the zeus, before the recharge update, it would insta kill on the current insta kill distance, but would do atleast 70 dmg when a little further from the target, when it got the recharge ability, they actually made it so that it dealt 100 dmg in that range too, now it doesn't even deal the 70, i feel like that's quite a big nerf for no reason at all, i liked the longer insta kill distance, and i feel like it made the zeus actually a pretty good weapon.

3:57 "Now"? What do you mean "now"? You could bind that since the beginning of CS. They just introduced a new way to do so and put it in the settings. And the old way is still more "powerfull" as it let you toggle between as many zoom settings as you wish, not only two.

Was the "I am not a secret Valve employee" part where you stuck up your finger and deliberately looked away from it a reference to Bill Clinton?

best sponsor scene video i've ever seen in my entire life

Every time you say “yes” to a Volve update w/o an anticheat, all you do is support the problem …

Please don't idolize Valve for doing it. We should take updates like this for granted. They only did this because people were quitting and content creators made videos complaining about it.

Replacing OVERPASS boggles the mind. I can think of at least 4 maps on the active roster people would replace before Overpass: Mirage (just too old), Vertigo (footsteps throughout the entire map isn't the CS way), Anubis and Ancient barely see any playtime, and a lot of people never vote for Nuke. Overpass was a crowd favorite, not mine personally but one of the most voted for ones for sure.

6:28 I like that he uses the auto shotty with the wingssss on it to showcase this feature. 🥳

7:30 No, Valve shouldn't get any credit for implementing basic features. It's their fault for releasing the game so unfinished

Still no train, or cache, the game looks horrible, premier ranks feel meaningless, and competitive is trash now. What a downgrade this is worse than Ubisoft

The switchhands command is actually really cool

I would LOVE if they implemented cones of vision from what your teammates are actually looking at. Similar to how Valorant applies it. I see a teammate watching a certain angle only for them to be blocked off pixels from this guy and I could've seen that and tightened up my spot better. PLEASE add that. FFS. That's what *I* want.

"This CS2 Update is What We Asked For" no, i see the vast majority of player asking for a Anti cheat. this must be the gamer goldfish syndrome.

I'm not opening the game again until they have an anticheat

7:00 As tf2 guy, i can't believe the only thing i am really jealous about that cs2 have but not tf2. is the ability to make private servers to play with friends . that also let you play workshop maps. I unironically want this more than full update... of course i want quick play back more.

nice vid ;) is there an analysis coming how many people startet watching ur livestream cause u said u dont miss smokes?

i get why he's glazing cs, his life is tied to this game, but supporting this kind of behavior from valve is pathetic. the game has no anti cheat system and it has been out for a year. not only that, but it took them one year to add left hand viewmodels. the game has been in a horrible state for too long and it seems that they havent done anything about that.

Instead of fighting cheater they add useless features.

1:30 my reason for why it's the way it is is that if you're in the middle of a smoke you can't shoot to get visibility, since it'd be overpowered. If it comes out of your gun and not eyes, you won't be able to clear the smoke when you're inside it. It also might be the reason why they took so long to add this feature

Been watching for almost a decade and still finish your videos saying "Still have no closer" with you. Its like an ADD tick or something. 😂😂

Do you know if the markers on the grenade crosshairs change with the FOV settings? Or does each FOV change where the markers would be?

I think one of the biggest reasons that people stay right-handed is because the mouse is usually on the right-hand side of their setup, and it just feels more natural because of that

The overwatch system NEEDS to be implemented on a larger scale. I understand they can't just give it to everyone, that's a huge risk, but it's one of the only things (besides kernel level anti-cheat) that has the potential to truly get rid of cheaters quickly while also helping the AI component of VAC learn what cheats look like. Huge step forward for the game, honestly CS2 should have stayed as a beta until all of this content was ready. CS:GO definitely had at least 2 more years in it.

i don't understand how this has ANY priority over full content parity.

At least in real life, switching hands is super useful for keeping your exposed profile small. I always switched to left hand when aiming left from cover. The target you present is so much less than if you stay right hand and aim left around cover.

Wanting cbble back is one thing, wanting tuscan back is on another level. Tuscan is such an old map now that if they ever decided to bring it back it will have to make a ton of changes, possibly overhaul the layout to fit the new CS meta. Just look at vertigo, it literally a whole new map at this point with 2 bombsite literally move away to be somewhat balance, and it still suck (at least it finally balance after 2 years worth of patch notes). Overpass got removed isn’t on my list of thing happen this year but aren’t a surprise either, even though pros love the map, casual hated it for some reason, anubis and ancient are pretty well received, mirage and inferno are wildly popular, nuke is a stable map for both pro and casual, vertigo is shit but valve love it for some reason, so when they need a stable map pool for the next major, d2 is literally the only choice. I would love if they put train in for ovp, or even cache, but d2 is probably make the most sense for valve since the map is 100% ready, and they probably want to establish the map pool now so team could prepare for the next major. D2 could potentially get even more Ts since the new smoke but we’ll see once they start playing it

I have asked for no cheaters, but they are multiplied after update.

at 20k still got hackers every game, enemy had 3 rage hackers in mirage just now.

I had a teammate who said playing left handed view gives better accuracy and aim the guy was top frag with like 40 kills. and the most impressive part was that he was looking at the ground the whole time!

I feel like you should only get Overwatch access if your account meets criteria. Like 1k+ hours, 5+ years of service, Prime Status, and such. That way the cheaters/bots corrupting the systems would be much harder since they'd have to meet these criteria, maybe something to do with needing a minimum Steam game count, or money spent, etc. I'm pretty sure most, if not all, more OG players that should be doing Overwatch review would easily meet these criteria. Edit: I still am upset with the UI/HUD changes, I still look in the bottom right for ammo, and bottom left for health, and not in the center of my screen. I just dislike it.

3:06 lmao the howtobasic slapping

That thing about eye dominance and being distracted is real. I'm left eye dominant and seeing clips of gameplay with the gun on the left makes me feel like I'm not able to see as much of the surroundings and it's making me look at the gun more often than when I watch a a gameplay of a game with the gun on the right.

You're one of the very few youtubers who I will watch an advertisement for, because it's just as entertaining(or more) as the rest of the video

The line crosshair thing is kind of crazy because it has notches. It adds way more potential for reliable line ups

Last time I was this early to a WarOwl video it had the old background song

It would be awesome if Valve reintroduced Overwatch but only to people they are directly hiring, or existing Valve employees, to review cases. I believe their use of "trusted partners" kind of hints towards THEM deciding who gets access to Overwatch and not an automated system like we had in CSGO. This would be a huge improvement to how they did things in CSGO, and shows a more active effort to improving their AI Anti-Cheat than before where they just relied on the community to find and ban cheaters which of course led to cheat developers making an active effort to corrupt that system.

Valve should make an update wear I can appeal I ban I received over a year ago from making a dumb decision and using hacks (Don't worry I legitimately play the game now on my alt) I'm sure a lot of other banned people who understand what we all did was wrong would agree with me.

Making a hole in the smoke be exactly where the crosshair is would effectivly make all smokes one way to those shooting into it; atleast at this point you have to move into the clearing.

They did not put back INVNEXTNONGRENADE - which is hands down the single best command in the entire game. Invnextnongrenade always switches back to your primary weapon, unless you have your primary equipped, then it switches to your secondary. This is hands down the best way to switch weapons. You only need 1 button to switch to primary quickly and when your primary runs out the same button switches to your secondary. - unreal

As long as Jericho gets access to Overwatch, we good 👍

Having a Valorant mapper involved in the full remakes wasn't a good idea after all ?

Since this update, I have gone from silver to purple. No joke.

Going straight into a 'practice' server to play with friends has always worked in CS2, it just required very simple port forwarding for the host. It's nice of them to remove the added requirement though.

the best thing about the hand switch is being able to throw your knife around. my adhd loves it

The bolts on weapons like the AK47 or the AWP will also magically switch sides on the weapon as well. I'm so immersed! :D

The second I was able to change to left hand I finally had the drive to play faceit again. I always used the left hand on csgo and god it's nice to feel a bit more back at home. Played about 6 games after the update dropped it was so nice

I mean u can also press H to switch hands. I accidentally pressed it yesterday while I was trying to inspect the gun and found that out.

Cod4 pro play had inbuilt feature where the weapons automatically switched hands depending on which corner you peeked from Maybe cs2 should just drop the delayed mechanism and add this as a feature with the option of inverting the weapon hand switch (so that the gun is towards the wall instead of the physically correct outside the wall which will block more view area)

I've had a radar zoom button for years, this is just making it easier to set up.

Warowl, have you had a look at the "adjusted attack cone" for the Zeus? Haven't found anyone mention it online yet.

Warowl during this vid: What u seeing and whats happening could atually be different: Valve before CS2 launch: What u see is what u get

it may just be placebo, but in all games with this option available I've always used my left hand and I can clearly notice the difference in the quality of my game (kd, gameplay in general) just with this change

The original Cobblestone design was great. Slightly T sided with interesting B and A bombsites. When they gutted site A on that Holloween updated, the map was killed. I hope they bring back Cobblestone with the original design used as the base.

Does centralizing the viewmodel make it easier to see through smokes when shooting at it?

Solution to the smoke holes regarding left/right handed viewmodels: Just implement left handed versions of third-person animations.

dropping weapons (and also bomb btw) through the buy menu is bigger than you make it out to be in this video. Top spawns no longer have to be wasted because you can't reach a weapon dropped on the floor, and generally there is no longer a need to juggle arround weapons if you have like 2 spawns in between

That's amazing to hear they're working on Cobblestone!!!

I want to see a pro CS2 competition round decided through a switchhand shot through the smoke

I will enjoy this patch in my cs go menu. Not playing a single Game until they do something about the cheaters in every game.

Switching hands just completely rework how guns feel for me, headshots feel much easier to hit on left but normal shots just feel jenky, meanwhile right side is just right.

It also switches the rifle to left handed, meaning you can get a left handed gun for free if you bought a right handed one.
