Snipers will need to make slight adjustments due to the reduced field of view.
The latest update for Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) introduces several noteworthy changes aimed at enhancing performance and gameplay experience. One significant addition is the implementation of a new viewmodel bob, which alters the way the in-game viewmodel moves. This modification provides a more contemporary feel to the game, departing from the traditional style seen in CS:GO.
Moreover, there have been notable updates to the default telemetry and net_graph features. The default CS2 telemetry option, replacing cq_netgraph, now comes enabled by default. Users also have the option to manually activate it using the command - cl_hud_telemetry_serverrecvmargin_graph_show.
Additionally, players will observe a slight adjustment in the effects of scoped weapons around the edges of the screen when aiming down sights. This adjustment results in a new field of view, which may require some players to adapt their gameplay slightly. However, these alterations are not drastic enough to render the game unplayable and are intended to refine the overall gaming experience.
