Captain of the best CS:GO team in the world hates one Counter-Strike 2 feature

Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen, the current in-game leader for G2’s CS:GO team, has shared his feedback on Counter-Strike 2 after playing the limited test for a couple of hours. While he’s mostly positive about CS2, there’s one aspect of the game that he hated—the way the smoke grenades interact with HE explosions.

The smoke grenades in CS2 have become dynamic volumetric objects that interact with the setting and other objects, automatically fill a space like tunnels, and most notably can temporarily fade away because of gunfire and explosions caused by HE grenades, as you can see in the clip below in which former professional player Jordan “nothing” Gilbert creates a play for himself off the back of this new feature. While there are players who are happy with how dynamic the smoke has become, HooXi said he hates how long the fade lasts.
