В Москве завершился международный турнир по Counter-Strike 2, ставший одним из главных событий II Московской международной недели видеоигр. Впервые с 2019 года столица приняла соревнование такого уровня, результаты которого учитываются в официальном рейтинге Valve Regional Standings (VRS). За выход в финальную часть турнира боролись 956 команд из 31 страны, а решающие матчи прошли в Московском кластере видеоигр и анимации. Главный трофей достался российской 1w, которая в финале оказалась сильнее HOTU. На первой карте, Anubis, 1w одержала победу со счётом 13:9. Вторая карта, Dust2, получилась значительно напряжённее. HOTU сумела отыграться с 4:8 и сравнять счёт до 11:11, однако два заключительных раунда остались за 1w. Итоговый результат — 13:11 и победа в серии со счётом 2:0. Этот успех оказался особенно важным из-за сроков проведения турнира. Финал состоялся непосредственно перед обновлением рейтинга Valve, определяющим приглашения на PGL Major Singapore 2026, PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027 и BLAST Bounty 2027 Season 1. Благодаря победе 1w обеспечила себе место на мейджоре в Сингапуре сразу со второй стадии, а также получила приглашения на два других крупных соревнования. Для HOTU поражение...

В файлах CS2 нашли новое оружие – Valve тестирует винтовку LAR После свежего обновления датамайнеры обнаружили модель LAR – ранее этот прототип фигурировал в файлах под названием M14. Судя по найденным анимациям, это может быть винтовка с рычажной перезарядкой и заряжанием по одному патрону. Материалы оружия лежат в папке «do_not_ship», то есть до релиза оно явно ещё не готово. Valve официально LAR пока не анонсировала.

\Added an option to switch Silent Reload Mode between Hold and Toggle. With toggle enabled, once the silent reload starts you can let go of the reload button.

Valve выпустила небольшое обновление для Counter-Strike 2 от 9 октября. Патч затронул баланс оружия, звуковые эффекты и геометрию карт, а также принёс несколько технических исправлений. Размер загрузки составил около 539 МБ. Главное изменение касается AUG: время перезарядки винтовки сократили на полсекунды. Такая корректировка может повлиять на поведение оружия в перестрелках, хотя сама по себе не означает масштабного пересмотра его баланса. Кроме того, разработчики добавили специальный значок для выброшенных наборов сапёра, чтобы их было проще заметить на карте. Valve также исправила ошибку со звуковым событием при бесшумной перезарядке Desert Eagle. Ещё одно исправление касается просмотра демок: теперь не должны возникать гудящие фоновые звуки. Помимо этого, разработчики продолжили устранять проблемы с геометрией на картах режима Rush, обновили локализацию и внесли улучшения в стабильность игры. Предыдущий небольшой патч для CS2 вышел 6 октября. Тогда Valve добавила кнопки управления загруженными картами из Мастерской, обновила локализованные элементы фотокниги питомцев и скорректировала параметры кэша шейдеров VK. Новое обновление продолжает серию точечных улучшений без крупных ...

Простой студент и заядлый игрок в Counter-Strike 2 под ником magga_ защитил целую магистерскую диссертацию в Норвежском университете естественных и технических наук, предложив новый подход к борьбе с нечестными пользователями. Его работа посвящена системе поведенческой биометрии, которая позволяет вычислять реальную личность игрока по микромоторике рук и связывать баны с человеком, а не с его учетной записью Steam. Главной уязвимостью современных античитов геймер назвал блокировку конкретных аккаунтов. Получив бан, реальный нарушитель просто покупает или регистрирует новый аккаунт и возвращается на серверы со своими читами. Разработанный алгоритм анализирует обычные записи матчей, которые игра уже сохраняет, и формирует персональный «цифровой отпечаток» на основе индивидуальных привычек ввода: В соревновательном шутере игроки тысячи раз повторяют одни и те же действия под давлением фактора времени: флики, контр-стрейфы, контроль отдачи и броски гранат. Со временем эти движения переходят на уровень подсознательной мышечной памяти. Вы можете сменить ник, звание, аккаунт, оружие и даже общий стиль игры. Но изменить собственные руки куда сложнее. — объяснил автор диссертации. В ходе ис...

\Increased the maximum countdown-after-elimination time from 7 seconds to 14 seconds on end rooms and Convoy.The countdown-after-elimination time does not activate in cases where an entire team dies to suicides, team kills, and/or disconnects.Warmup time once all players have connected, freeze time, and technical timeout time are all reduced.Various gap fixes and clipping adjustments.\Some additional information about the new crosshair system:The new crosshair thickness and length units are in pixels. In the past, the values were defined with an arbitrary scale and converted to pixels based on display resolution so the same value would result in different pixel counts at different resolutions. With the new settings, if you want a 1-pixel wide crosshair with a bar length of 8 pixels and a gap of 4 pixels, then you would set: thickness = 1, length = 8, and gap = 4. Please be aware that the new crosshair system automatically rescales pixel counts when the display resolution changes. For example, if a crosshair was configured at display resolution 1280x720 with a thickness of 2 pixels and then the display resolution changes to 2560x1440, it will now automatically rescale the thickness ...

This new Rush mode might be my favourite way to play Counter-Strike 2, giving you a faster-paced experience with shorter matches. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/09/counter-strike-2-adds-an-intense-fast-paced-3v3-rush-game-mode/

Тактический шутер Counter-Strike 2 получил очередной апдейт. В отличие от предыдущих балансных патчей, в этот раз разработчики из Valve решили удивить игроков, и обновление получилось действительно масштабным на нововведения. Апдейт весом 4,7 ГБ не только принес новый контент в игру, но и изменил привычные моменты, которые многие пользователи уже посчитали кардинально ломающими привычный соревновательный процесс. Главные споры в сообществе вызвали нововведения в механике скрытности: Теперь игроки могут сменить магазин оружия без звука. Для этого необходимо зажать и удерживать клавишу перезарядки, однако за скрытность придется платить заметно увеличенным временем анимации. : Выход из снайперского зума на винтовках больше не издает щелчка и стал абсолютно неслышным для противников. Команда ammo_grenade_limit_total теперь жестко ограничивает общее число гранат, которое один игрок может приобрести за раунд. Курицы на картах теперь получают урон от электрошокера Zeus x27. Крупным контентным добавлением стал соревновательный режим «Rush» в формате 3v3. Команды продвигаются через череду случайно сменяющихся боевых арен, сражаясь за контроль над центральной башней и пытаясь добраться до ба...
