Match length will be 12-round halves with overtime, and there will be regional and global leaderboards to check one’s skill.
Valveâs Counter-Strike 2 is making big changes to its systems, from overhauling Smoke Grenades into dynamic volumetric objects and sub-tick updates for servers. That extends to the skill rating and Competitive rules. In a new video, the developer outlined CS Rating, a âprecise displayâ of oneâs skill, complete with regional and global leaderboards.
There are also Skill Groups on a per-map basis, which could allow for fairer matchmaking on maps that youâre not as good at. Match length will also become 12-round halves with overtime instead of 15 rounds.
Valve will also invite more eligible players to its ongoing Limited Test. Youâll need to have CS: GO Prime Status, played most official matches in a region where itâs available, and have an active Competitive Skill Group to get in.
Counter-Strike 2 doesnât have a release date yet, but itâs planned to launch this Summer on PC.
