Tweet won't load for me :/ does anybody have a non Twitter link? Edit: https://youtu.be/nSE38xjMLqE?si=JQjfM3VT_xR0X763

The music, narration, and general tone of the video juxtaposed with its depictions of graphical violence are kind of lol

I think they've nailed the vibe

From a game preservation standpoint, I am always a bit sad to see these major relaunches which "overwrite" older games instead of existing alongside them. You can never go back and play the 'original' CS:GO now.

That said the changes seem awesome for CS players. I could never get into it, the twitchy FPS gameplay just isn't for me, but it looks fun.

An interesting thing I learned about CS is that the guns have a consistent pattern to their bullet spread. When you fire an entire clip with automatic fire, the bullets are not laser accurate of course, some bullets go left, some right, etc. Well, the pattern by which the bullets are off is consistent. The second bullet always goes right, the third always goes left, etc. This means if you practice enough you can learn to move your mouse just right to compensate and land every bullet exactly where you want... at least in theory, but I don't know if anyone is actually that good. I've always thought it was interesting game design that skill could overcome bullet spread though.

Practically every professional player is that good - even non-professional-but-serious players can reliably control recoil, at least for the first few shots (which are all that matter, anyway)
