New Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Pics Released

The chickens explode in a puff of feathers like in 1.6 lol

[Zecrah]

can we shoot the chickens?

Yes. The below shot was taken moments after. ^^



There's also very nice, shootable watermelons too.

This is as close to the chickens as I could get with noclip to see the talons, as they try avidly to flee when you approach them, squawking as you get close. ^^



In regards to the hostage thing, no they don't but up close their blindfold is already lifted a little so they can see with one eye. They seem to run faster too. I also shot them, and boy do they lose a lot of blood...

I feel that there needs to be more variation with the time of day/sky. It's all very bright blue skies and bloomy. I want to see how sexy the new lighting is for a dusk/sunrise setting

[Chrille]

Man, the resolution on those textures.

[Gary]

Consoles don't have enough RAM.


Anyways, excluding the low texture resolution, the maps look good.

The layout changes in cs_italy are WONDERFUL.

[Zecrah]

As the graphical options are limited ATM (You have vsync, AA, Ansiotropic and resolution stuff) I can't tell whether my texture levels have been auto set low... In Source they used to get set to medium when I could run 'very high' happily.

Also, do any other Source games run DirectX 10? I just found a block in the dxsupport.cfg - ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\bin -for the DirectX version '100', as well as 90/95/98 etc. Hmm?

There's also an empty 'linux32' folder which I've never seen before in a source game lol.

There's also new console commands, not listed on the VDC, that involve tessellation? Namely mat_tessellation_accgeometrytangents
mat_tessellation_cornertangents
mat_tessellation_update_buffers
mat_tessellation_level

[Zecrah]

Double post, but worth it. Not mine but hey.

[Dives]

All that stuff was present in Portal 2 as well.

[stoopdapoop]

indeed.

Plus it seems like valve codes in a lot more advanced features, but doesn't release them for whatever reason.

Parallax displacement mapping has been in the shaders for close to 100 years.

[Zecrah]

Hmmm right. Never owned Portal 2. Why aren't these things on the VDC? They usually have that sort of stuff pretty quick; people just dump all the known console commands on there for example.

[Hollow]

Even weirder, as spence found out, applying mat_fullbright 1 in a custom CSGO map looks like this.



So it shows dynamic shadows in fullbright mode, but in normal mode only shows shadows on viewmodels and props? what de crap.

[Zecrah]

Try fullbright 2 or 3 or 4 or 5, see if there's any new shiny modes lololol.

[srredfire]

I made my own.

The radio is missing in cs_italy. Worst game ever!
