Phản ứng của cộng đồng và thể thao điện tử về Counter-Strike 2: 'Bỏ Valorant, tiêu rồi, tiêu rồi'

Phản ứng của cộng đồng và thể thao điện tử về Counter-Strike 2: 'Bỏ Valorant, tiêu rồi, tiêu rồi'

Nút nguồn: 2526813

Sau nhiều tuần trêu chọc, Valve hôm nay đã công bố Counter-Strike 2 (mở trong tab mới), bước tiếp theo cho FPS cạnh tranh có lẽ là lớn nhất và phổ biến nhất trong lịch sử. Người chơi Counter-Strike là giống loài của riêng họ, cả hai đều yêu thích trò chơi và luôn phàn nàn về các vấn đề của nó, và một điều mà Counter-Strike 2 đã làm ngay lập tức là giải quyết những lời phàn nàn lâu nay và khiến những người hâm mộ đó phấn khích. Phản ứng gần như tích cực trên toàn cầu, mặc dù một cách tự nhiên, hãy nhớ rằng rất ít người đã chơi trò chơi này vào thời điểm này.

I could just reproduce dozens of different variants on all-caps “let’s goooooooo” and various internet goblins talking about what Counter-Strike 2 does to their sexual organs, but beyond the anticipation there’s some deeper appreciation for what Valve is trying to do here and how it’s approached updating the game: I mean, có vẻ như Counter-Strike trong mơ của tôi (mở trong tab mới)

Just look at those smokes… they’re so beautiful. “Counter Strike 2 has some seriously impressive gameplay driven GPU usage,” says Digital Foundry’s Alexander Battaglia (mở trong tab mới). “This reminds me of the cool ambition in graphics we saw back in ’05-11. Movable and deformable volumetrics.” Volumetric af!

Everyone loves the smokes. “These new smokes completely change everything,” viết SixFU (mở trong tab mới). “Like fighting around a smoke is now a whole ass chess match itself.” Anh chàng khoa học nước sốt (mở trong tab mới) sees through the whole thing though. “There is no smoke if my team has p90s taps head”

“They better add the liquid in bottles tech next,” says núi lửa Kars (mở trong tab mới). “Check the website, that’s in too,” says the helpful RaptorDotCCP. Karsvolcanospace is happy: “This truly is an upgrade now.”

Another minor change, which will seem laughable to non Counter-Strikers but is Very Important OK, is that you can now see your avatar’s legs. Game-changer! Valve, of course, has leaned into this on social.

This incidentally shows a Glock fade skin, from CS:GO, in the new game. Doesn’t she look pretty. 

Even more impressive, as can be seen at one point’s in Valve’s explainer videos, is that you can also see your own shadows being cast. Another notable change, and one of the few that instantly seems less popular though that’s probably to be expected, is a new HUD. 

“OMG I hope original HUD is an option,” says BusinessAd_9721, không nghi ngờ gì nói cho nhiều (mở trong tab mới). One detail in this new HUD that’s neat, however, is it seems to have ‘kill cards’ tracking how you’re doing in a given round.

Many figures in the competitive scene have known this was coming for a while, and naturally how Counter-Strike 2 will land as an esport is an open question. What’s important to remember, though, is that Counter-Strike is not merely a game to such folk, but a way of life.

“Counter-Strike 2 had me crying on the stream for the first time in my entire life…” cựu chuyên gia Jacob Winneche nói (mở trong tab mới). “I’ve been living, breathing and loving Counter Strike for the past 15 years of my life. I wanna live, breath, and love Counter Strike for the next 15 years as well.” Amen brother. 

Some esports figures, like Shroud, reckon this is going to blow Valorant away. As he says (joking) to one of his friends in this stream clip, “Quit Valorant, it’s done. It’s fucking over.”

One of the best players of all time, Get_Right, played in a closed beta at Valve HQ. “I was so happy to get the try it out with mucho cool people and it’s been hard to be quiet for some time… But god dammit, it was worth it. Thanks once again to make me happy @CounterStrike (mở trong tab mới)".

Popular Counter-Strike streamer fl0m was also one of those invited, and discussed his experiences in a rather shouty manner—not my cup of tea, but this guy has played it and I haven’t, so…

Trong khi đó, tôi khá thích thú với việc một số khoảnh khắc trong clip này của FaZe Clan hiện hữu một cách tình cờ như thế nào, khi người chơi hiểu được ý nghĩa to lớn của những làn khói mới.

Và chơi công bằng với Fnatic, điều này là tốt.

And while I’m embedding the tweets… this is kinda my favourite, even though it was made about a week ago.

How the wider scene reacts when the game is in peoples’ hands we’ll know very soon. “While players have been begging for tick updates for years and will surely be satisfied by the updates to weapon response rate, the biggest impact on the professional scene will be the dynamic grenades,” esports host Frankie Ward tells PCG.

“Honestly, when I saw the video reveal, my jaw hit the floor; no more waiting out for smoke walls or “smoke criminals”. Players bring able to shoot through smoke grenades, or blow a hole in them, will quite literally change the game forever. The behaviour of the smokes mean players adapting line-ups tried and tested over years and experimenting with new ones. I can’t wait to see them in action. Hopefully at the second Major championship of 2023…”

Quay trở lại với những thay đổi cụ thể hơn và phản ứng của cộng đồng, tôi khá thích sự thay đổi về mặt thẩm mỹ: Đây là một trò chơi trông sáng sủa và sạch sẽ hơn. Những người khác không quan tâm lắm, thích bảng màu CS: GO bị tắt tiếng hơn. 

“I’d prefer if it kept the depressing looks of the maps tbh,” Guccigang Crook nói (mở trong tab mới). “This looks a bit too vivid and bright imo. Remember, we’re talking about a game that’s about terrorists blowing up cities, not some Hello Kitty browser game.”

Clearly Hello Kitty has changed somewhat since I last checked-in. One point here, though, which Valve has not explicitly addressed and I can’t see in the videos unless I missed it, is whether Counter-Strike 2 will re-name the teams. The point has often been made that, while this is the most-popular competitive FPS around, the ‘Terrorist’ and ‘Counter-Terrorist’ designations may prevent it being even more popular. The character models are the same, the atmosphere and goals are the same, but a small change to ‘Attackers’ and ‘Defenders’ may be part of this package.

Well that all got rather serious. Other reactions are more… esoteric. “While I was watching the news about CS2, the shelf my wife just built broke above her head as well as the head of my son, who is five years old,” Lushlanie viết (mở trong tab mới). “My wife was literally hit by Karl Marx’ second volume of The Kapital while my son got the best of Marx’ letters. Her head was still bleeding while i was pondering about gas grenades, my son screamed like there was no tomorrow. He is well and she is angry, tried to argue with me, cause I told her weeks ago, this shelf wont be good enough for the 42 volumes of Marx’ Ouvre (mở trong tab mới). I will never forget this day.”

cải trangPrime, on the other hand, is asking perhaps the only question that matters: “We are getting new chickens, right?”

Đối với Valve, hãng phim đã chơi một trò mù quáng ở đây, và tôi đặc biệt thích tiểu sử Twitter mới (mở trong tab mới) for Counter-Strike 2, which no doubt comes after years of being sick of hearing the same. This game is “the CS:GO killer.”

Điều đó vẫn còn để được nhìn thấy. Nhưng Counter-Strike 2 là có thật, những người hâm mộ Counter-Strike có vẻ rất phấn khích và năm 2023 sẽ còn thú vị hơn rất nhiều.
