CS2 – Counter Strike: 2 Thoughts!

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

Counter-Strike-2-CS2 — Counter Strike 2 Limited Test

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.

Counter-Strike-2-Dust-2-Smokes — Counter Strike 2 Smoke Mechanics

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.

3 Game Titles To Look Out For In March!

Wait… It’s March already? Crazy how time flies, some of us are still in 2022. Back to March’23, we know that this year is full of promising games across all platforms. Even in the last couple of months, we have seen anticipated releases such as Hogwarts Legacy and Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion.

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.

Get the original Dead Cells HERE!

3. Resident Evil 4 (RE4) Remake

Dropping at the end of this month (March 24), this is a much awaited game in the RE Franchise. One of the best games in the series now gets a full makeover. What’s not to be excited about?!

Check out the gameplay here below and see for yourself!

It looks beyond incredible. Make sure you preorder it HERE for an amazing price! (And quickest delivery hehe…)

That’s all for this time! Stay tuned for more 😉

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

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

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.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners Netflix — Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix

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.

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.

Cats Are Loving This Game… And So Are The Gamers!

Let’s rewind and go back to the late 90s and early 2000s when the internet was primarily dominated by cute cat videos and clips. That was a good time! Wholesome, funny, and sometimes super addictive… everything you’d expect from cats.

And now the cats are back! More like ONE cat. “Stray”, the game about a cat who loses its way and ends up in a society devoid of humans is taking the internet by storm. Developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, this game is absolutely breathtaking. Imagine this: cute cat in a dystopian, cyberpunk-ish world. Now that is something I would PAY for.

Stray is beautiful. It is a visual treat and your system should have no problem running it too – its very well optimized. Now, this game is not just great for gamers, but has spawned an entirely different breed (or rather, species) of audience. There’s no big reveal here… It’s literally cats.

Don’t believe us? Then check this compilation out! It shows different pet cats reacting to the videogame. It is everything you would hope for and more.

If you want to check out some actual gameplay, watch the video next!

Rainbow Six Extraction Looks SICK!

Hey gamers, hope you’re all doing well. We know that you were all looking forward to this one – the release of Rainbox Six Extraction. It is finally out since around a week and it looks absolutely amazing.

The game was delayed before, but what game hasn’t been delayed in the last year or two? Let’s not even talk about Cyberpunk 2077. Anyway, let’s get down to it! Is this game any good? Worth buying?

Rainbow-Six-Extraction-Aliens — Rainbow Six Extraction: Aliens!

The game is beautiful, aesthetically. Looks great and has terrific graphics. It is extraordinarily difficult and… it’s not fun playing alone. A lot of negative reviews about the game stem from the fact that it was too difficult and was just not good as a single-player game. Remnant from the Ashes had a similar problem but was still doable on lower difficulties, whereas extraction is just difficult.

One noteworthy thing is the story. It doesn’t make much sense and… just throws you in the game pretty much without any concrete plot or explanation. Sure, you’re there to shoot some alien testicles and have fun, but a good plot and a story can go a long way in making the experience much better. The campaign is also ridiculously repetitive and can get mentally exhausting – all the levels end up playing out the same way.

Rainbow-Six-Extraction-Gameplay — Rainbow Six Extraction Gameplay

This game feels like a glorified DLC or a half-sequel to Six Siege, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s a great game and has very decent mechanics. It is a LOT of fun with friends so you should definitely buy a 4 pack of this game and play it together in co-op. The tactical nature of the game should be lauded but is frustrating if you try to play it with randos (or alone).

Check out the gameplay below!

If you like what you see, then get this game at a really epic rate at Gamersoutlet.net (from us!) CLICK HERE to have a look! 😀

Have a lovely week and stay tuned for more updates! Ciao! 🙂

Warhammer 40k Space Marine Sequel Trailer Released!

Hey folks, hope you’re doing well. There’s some super exciting news to look forward to in our blog today! Warhammer 40k’s Space Marine deserved a sequel so bad and now it’s finally here – the game the fans loved playing and enjoyed it for a decade has a proper sequel : Space Marine II.

Watch the trailer below:

This trailer was revealed at the Game Awards a couple of days ago and is absolutely badass.

And guess who’s still alive and kickin’?

Captain Titus! He’s back! The leader and the protagonist of the previous installment of the game, he returns in this glorious trailer.

The game will retain its original third-person shooting style gameplay with some rumored cues from Quake Champions and World War Z. It will release across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Not only that, but it will be included with the Xbox Game Pass as well.

It does not have a release date yet. Not even a release year. At least it’s official, and is being made. And it won’t turn out like Dead Island 2. Oh god, hopefully not.

Thanks for checking in, fellas! Until next time 😀

Fortnite Chapter 3 Revealed! Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson AND Spider-Man Are In!

Dwayne-The-Rock-Johnson-The-Foundation-Fortnite-Chapter-3

Well, the second chapter of Fortnite ended with a bang and the event was a total success. The Cube Queen was finally defeated and we are given a glimpse of The Foundation, played by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. With the classic Rock brow and his cavalier attitude, it looks absolutely amazing.

How is Chapter 3 different from Chapter 2? Well, there’s a big gameplay change, with the focus shifting a little bit towards swinging and sliding (Spider-Man reference?) making the gameplay much much faster.

Fortnite-Chapter-3-Spider-Man — Fortnite Chapter 3 Includes Spider-Man

You also earn XP for the Battle Pass in creative mode now, while playing other people’s and players’ creations, which wasn’t the case before. There’s an epic, final “Victory Crown” after you win the game as well. Inclusion of battle camps, where you can heal yourself and your squad + store items every match is also a new feature! And talking about weapons – boy, oh boy! There are brand new AWESOME weapons!

Most of these details were leaked last week and the developers urged the players to not leak the information, but it was unfortunately leaked all over TikTok with memes spanning Dwayne took over and were all the rage last weekend.

Check the trailer out now!
