Is CS2 Harder to Run than CS:GO Was at Release?

3kliksphilip 2023-10-02 | I take a look at how CS:GO's requirements in 2012 compare with CS2's requirements in 2023, using the Steam Hardware Survey to do stuff

CS2s Input Lag Tests Smoking Gun

3kliksphilip 2023-09-22 | CS2 has a smoking gun lag issue. So does CS:GO. Sub tick won't fix it. It probably doesn't need fixing. But maybe it can be

Raytracing in CS2s Mapping

Overpasss Clipping has changed. A bit

3kliksphilip 2023-07-23 | A small update to CS2 changed some stuff that I pointed out in my previous video. Still fresh in my mind (And with the video clips still on my hard drives) I investigated what Valve fixed, and what Valve left broken. Pls fix

CS2 Overpasss Questionable Clipping

3kliksphilip 2023-07-19 | Clipping in CS2 isn't intuitive. You can't tell how something will behave without hurling your body at it first. And that's a problem. Using first impressions, I explored this new map to discover what I could climb, what I couldn't and what I should've.

CS2s New Office Analysed

3kliksphilip 2023-07-12 | cs_office has had a minor overhaul for CS2 over CS:GO. But its roots stretch all the way back to CS:S in 2004, which makes comparing it with older versions all the more interesting.

Which Projector is Best?

3kliksphilip 2023-07-09 | See the full video here: youtu.be/tV8h7D-6FjQ
Counter Strike 2's projector is a shiny new improvement over the older ones. I reflect upon projections in this short project of mine. Will CS:S dazzle us with its bright lights? Will CS:GO's image projection leave a lasting impression on our eyeballs? Or will CS2 eclipse the rest with its self-shadowing? I started by shining a light up the backside of the engines powering Counter-Strike to get some answers, but ended up going in deep and dirty before I got the results I desired.

This Fire Extinguisher isnt Real.

CS2s New Nuke Analysed

3kliksphilip 2023-07-01 | The new Nuke is almost identical to the old one, only Source 2 and new PBR effects on virtually every texture. I investigate the MASSIVE difference it makes to the graphics in this map.

Why does CS2 look better?

3kliksphilip 2023-07-01 | Despite being the same map as it was in CS:GO, CS2 looks better. But WHY? I investigate the new PBR materials in this video, along with examples and demonstrations of what makes them shinier, but also less shiny. AT THE SAME TIME

Does this CS2 option give you an advantage?

CS2s New Shadows

3kliksphilip 2023-07-01 | CS2's new real-time shadows indoors has first been shown in the new de_nuke version. And it comes with some interesting quirks. Pay to win etc

Is de_nuke too clean and shiny?

3kliksphilip 2023-07-01 | de_nuke is a spotless, shiny, clean nuclear power plant. But is it TOO clean? Has Valve gone a bit over the top with the PBR shading and cubemaps? Yes.
