FULL STORY
======================================================================

It finally happened - Counter-Strike 2 has officially released on PC after a 
week of hints and teasers, which have probably left fans wholly unsurprised 
about this whole thing. 

For those out of the loop, the official Counter-Strike Twitter account set 
the ball rolling last week, on September 20, when it tweeted : What are you 
doing next Wednesday? From this point on, many fans believed that this meant 
that the sequels release date was all but confirmed.

As GamesRadar+ points out, was further solidified by the fact that, yesterday 
(September 26), the accounts Twitter banner was changed to the popular The 
Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask meme, which reads: Dawn of The Final Day. 
Needless to say, itd be wrong to say that this is a sudden release that no 
one saw coming. 

 Counter-Strike 2 was announced back in March, and since then, many players 
have already been given the chance to dive in thanks to its limited beta 
tests. Its the official replacement for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive , 
meaning that the original game is now no longer available to play. 

The sequel promises a whole host of improvements to make the Counter-Strike 
experience better than ever before. Smoke grenades, for example, are now much 
more dynamic, and the smoke produced by them can interact with the 
environment and react to gunfire and lighting. 

 Counter-Strike 2 also implements sub-tick updates, allowing the games 
servers to know the exact moment when players input their movements and 
attacks, rather than them being locked to time intervals known as ticks. This 
change should make players actions be consistently responsive at all times. 

For those whove been waiting to dive in, your time is now. Counter-Strike 2 
is now available to download from Steam. 

 It remains to be seen whether Counter-Strike 2 ends up being considered one 
of the best FPS games , but if its as impactful as its predecessor, theres a 
good chance that it will be. For more game recommendations, be sure to check
