CS2 – Counter Strike: 2 Thoughts!

Counter-Strike 2 Announcement

Counter-Strike, a game that has been around for over two decades and has captured the hearts of millions of players worldwide, has recently announced a potential sequel inside of CS:GO- Counter-Strike 2. The announcement came as a surprise to many fans of the game, and speculation has been rampant ever since. In this article, we will explore what we know about the upcoming game, discuss how it might compare to the current iteration, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), and give you an overview of what you can expect from Counter-Strike 2.

What we know about Counter-Strike 2

First and foremost, it’s important to note that Counter Strike 2 has been officially announced by Valve, the developer behind the series. According to the announcement, Counter-Strike 2 is being built on the Source 2 engine, which is a significant upgrade from the original Source engine used for previous Counter-Strike games. This engine was first used in Dota 2 and offers improved graphics, physics, and other features that could make for a more immersive gameplay experience.

Beyond the engine upgrade, little is known about the specifics of CS2. However, the announcement did mention that the game is “coming summer 2023”, which has many fans speculating that it could be released as early as May this year. Additionally, there have been rumors and leaks that suggest the game will be a departure from the traditional formula of the series, potentially offering a battle royale-style game or more single-player content.

Comparing CS:GO to Counter-Strike 2

Counter-Strike 2 is basically a massive upgrade from CS:GO. CS:GO has been incredibly successful since its release in 2012 and has become one of the most popular esports titles in the world. It has a huge player base, a thriving competitive scene, and a constant stream of updates and new content.

The gameplay of CS:GO is focused on two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists, competing in a variety of game modes. The core gameplay mechanics involve strategic movement, aiming, and shooting. The game has a steep learning curve, with a focus on precision and tactical decision-making. Matches are often intense and can require a high level of skill and teamwork to succeed.

If Counter-Strike 2 were to stick with this basic formula, it would likely face some tough competition from CS:GO. However, if Counter Strike 2 were to offer significant improvements to the graphics, physics, and gameplay mechanics, it could potentially attract players who are looking for a more modern and polished experience.

What to expect from Counter Strike 2

Watch the videos below to see what’s new and what we can expect from this glorious AND FREE “update.”

One area where Counter Strike 2 could differentiate itself from CS:GO is in the variety of game modes and customization options. CS:GO has a few different game modes, but they can feel somewhat repetitive after a while. If Counter-Strike 2 were to offer more diverse and interesting game modes, it could potentially keep players engaged for longer periods of time.

Another area where Counter Strike 2 could potentially shine is in the graphics and physics. The Source 2 engine has already proven itself to be capable of creating stunning visuals in games like Dota 2 and Half-Life: Alyx. If Counter-Strike 2 were to take full advantage of the engine’s capabilities, it could be one of the most visually impressive FPS games on the market.

It seems to look like a massive upgrade from what we’ve seen so far – and we’re all for it.

Here’s our top 3 pick for the month of March!

1. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Available across PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, One, and Windows, Team Ninja delivers an action-packed RPG with hack-and-slash elements. Looks great, feels great. Although there have been mixed opinions on this, mostly because of the terrible optimization of the game for PC users. The port seems to be generating mostly negative reviews, but the game itself is… amazing.

Game comes out March 03 (technically today) so go have fun! Check it out HERE!

2. Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania

Absolutely crazy news – the DLC to an amazing game Dead Cells comes out March 06. If you haven’t played it before, you’re missing out. Here’s the trailer to the DLC and you should most definitely get it.

Should You Buy Hogwarts Legacy?

if you are looking to buy the game, we offer it for a cheaper price than Steam and many other platforms on our website.
Hogwarts Legacy has been one of the most anticipated games of 2023 and already is super hyped up. And for good reason too – imagine an open-world game in the Harry Potter universe where you could choose your destiny; and that means choosing and customizing your own characters, houses, and more!

Hogwarts Legacy – Choosing A Wand

Of course, this game hasn’t received any less hate due to the controversies it has been through, but we at Gamersoutlet.net literally do not give 2 shits about that. We purely focus on the game, the design, the gameplay, and everything that has to do with the GAME and not the shenanigans attached to it.

It’s already breaking records! As you can see below – it’s unreal. It also had one of the biggest early access launches in the history of Steam.

This game is beautiful, intuitive and smooth on the eyes. Tons of activities and things to do, it reminds us of the good old times of the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets game. AND THERE’S A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN PLAY QUIDDITCH! How cool is that?!

Hogwarts Legacy Quidditch Might Be A Possibility

The reviews for the game are looking solid at the moment… and guess what house is the most picked house in the game by far.

You guessed it right! Slytherin! It’s only super new so that will most definitely change. But we all remember taking the Pottermore Quiz at some point in our lives, so this is a nice little bit of nostalgia to look back at.

Watch the gameplay below and decide for yourselves if you should get the game! Our verdict: Definitely worth a try!

And here’s IGN’s review, because without the classic “11/10” review to make you laugh, this article would be incomplete.

Let us know if you get the game or have already tried it in the comments below!

You can purchase it for a nice price only here at Gamers-outlet.net 😉

Have fun 😉

The Last Stand

That’s right! Do you remember now? Developed by Con Artist Games and published by Armor Games, you can still play the original series online HERE!

The Last Stand 2
The Last Stand 2

Both the Last Stand 1 and 2 were fan favorites and were further developed into The Last Stand: Union City with way more features and a more intricate system. The gameplay became more sidescroller-roguelike with RPG aspects to it.

Finally, they released The Last Stand: Aftermath in late 2021 continuing the story where they left off at Union City. A completely brand new game with mindblowing visuals and it’s hard to say they made the last 3 games.

It went from a browser game… to this masterpiece. TLS Aftermath is everything you can expect from a successor sequel. Brand new mechanics, brand new gameplay, and tons of replayability.

3 Must Buy Games During This Winter!

Desperados III Gameplay

Hey guys! Hope you’re all geared up for this bleak and cold winter (hopefully not) and are looking forward to the cozy holidays and amazing dinners with the fam (hopefully).

We made a list of 3 games that you should definitely give a try during this holiday season.

Ready? Ok. Let’s go!

1. Need For Speed: Unbound (NFS Unbound)

Need For Speed Unbound
Need For Speed Unbound

A great new game that was just released. With graphics that make it look like the Spiderverse movies, and the adrenaline fueled action powered by childhood nostalgia, this is something you should NOT miss out on. Here’s the gameplay!

2. Deathloop

DeathLoop
DeathLoop

Time travelling first-person-shooter? Sign me up! Well, this is the perfect winter getaway with tons of replayability and… for you to make a hot cup of chocolate milk every time you feel you can’t get through a mission.

Basically the way this game works is, that you are stuck in a time loop. Every choice you make helps you advance and if you die, well, you start over. To stop the loop, you have to kill 8 targets. One of them, is out for your blood and will do anything for you to stop the loop and will cause you to reset it.

Oof. Sounds like a pain in the ass. But, the more times you die, the more you learn, and the better you get. Watch the gameplay here!

3. Desperados III

Desperados III

Another absolute no-brainer of a game… Desperados III! A real-time strategy game for all who love the wild west – this is the best choice for you. If you’ve ever played any of the older reiterations of the game, then you’re gonna enjoy this one even more – it is a prequel.

The story follows the history of John Cooper, the badass bounty hunter, and explores his past. Get ready to discover how he meets returning characters Doc McCoy, Kate O’Hara, and new ones like Isabel and Hector. Developed by MiMiMi games, it follows a similar gameplay style as it was in Shadow Tactics (another really cool game).1

That’s it from us this time! We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Gamers-outlet.net! 🙂

COD MW II Requirements Revealed, Response To Overwatch 2, Sims 5 Details, and more!

Cyberpunk 2077

This week is packed with a lot of gaming updates.

Let’s just start with the elephant in the room – Cyberpunk 2077. This game is still getting 1 million concurrent “chooms” logging into their accounts every day. Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the new Netflix TV show has actually contributed to 80% of that. Probably more. That wasn’t so surprising considering so many people (including us) loved the show!

In other news, the requirements to run Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have been released.

It’s not that crazy, so you can actually run it. Check the requirements in the image below!

Not too bad, you see?! And now, for our next topic: Sims 5. It still has a few years to come out, but it has been codenamed Project Rene. It was mentioned during EA’s livestream “Behind The Sims Summit.” It will be the future of all Sims games, according to them. Well, let’s wait and find out!

To wrap it up – Overwatch 2. Good? Bad? Mixed? Well, the fans have to say (the majority of them at least) that they’re pissed and this is more like Overwatch 1.1! They’re not impressed and have given generally negative reviews.

Here’s a fun video to watch before you leave, to see what Overwatch 2.0 feels like, according to Dunkey.

The Return Of Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 Title

As of now, the only things we’ve heard or seen about CDPR’s Cyberpunk are the incompleteness of the game, the buggy structure and their ultimate downfall. Their stocks have dipped, credibility and trustworthiness have taken a hit and, well Sony even took it off the store at one point. That’s how bad it was.

Well, now, things are different. How, one may ask? We’ll tell you. Have you heard of a little thing called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix? It’s a brand new animated series out in the universe of Cyberpunk 2077.

It was just out this month and has already captivated everyone with its brilliant story, characters, animation and the overall vibe. With a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes as of writing this article, and a whopping 8.6 on IMDb, this is a treat.

Watch the trailer below:

Now if that doesn’t peak your interest, idk what to tell ya.

How has that impacted Cyberpunk 2077 the game? See for yourself. CB2077 is now the third best selling game on Steam in the last week. A proper resurgence. More than a million players per day playing the game in the last week or two.

Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 – Welcome to Night City

A lot of old players (recurring) and new players are making this number go higher each day. Do you think the hype will live up or die down in a week? The show is doing insanely well. If it is renewed, CDPR might even consider adding mods and DLCs to the game.

For now – CDPR is doing well, and it’s good to hear that they’re in the spotlight again, but for all the right reasons. Hope they continue this streak.
