You can find out more about these changes <a href=\"https:\/\/hellcase.com\/blog\/in-game-updates\/cs2-unveiled-release-dates-new-features-rules-more\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, since the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test launched, more new features have been revealed by pro players streaming the gameplay. Currently, the Limited Test only offers a Deathmatch Mode and 5&#215;5 Unranked Mode on de_dust2 for players lucky enough to get an invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Counter-Strike 2 has a redesigned main menu and developer console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Counter-Strike 2, developers added a new sound of dropping and picking up C4. It is now more distinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"C4 sound\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zIxFBY85J_w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Smooya showed the new pre-match load screen, which displays the team\u2019s characters with different weapons, and destroyed bots in his first-ever played round of Counter-Strike 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"smooya round 1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/akbC3zzI02E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Counter-Strike 2, training grenades are on a whole new level. Now, on a training server, you will see pre-throw trajectories of the nade while aiming, and also the game will show you where is it landing in real time after the throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"grenades trajectories\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZL_otZKrYAU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Legs!

So exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what the model of the Kukri knife style looks like. The Kukri is a short dagger with a contrasting recurve in its blade that originated in Nepal. It is used as a melee weapon and a standard cutting instrument across most of South Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s the screenshot showing the model of the Twinblade knife. We bet that this knife will be extremely popular once it is released, thus extremely expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Valve has not yet announced that new knives are coming to Counter-Strike 2, it is more than likely that we will get to see them in-game in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still here, then you like it!
