The CS2 Beta appeared a couple of months ago, and it soon became boring as the players who got the chance to test it were forced to play only Dust2. Valve decided to refresh the testing a bit with a new game improvement.
And we're swapping out Dust2 for Mirage. This and many more Release Notes are here: https://t.co/Adnv0anig4

Players with access will now be able to play Mirage instead of Dust2, š it will bring a bit of freshness, but with the previous map being removed, there is a fear that Mirage will suffer a similar fate to Dust2 after a while, it will become over&scaron It is repetitive to play.

In addition to the new look of the loadout, players will be able to sell the weapons, armor or bombs they have purchased during the buy phase. Surely it has often happened to you that you buy some weapon by mistake and that you cannot change it, but that will no longer be the case. This system was first introduced by Valorant, and it seems quite okay that CS2 also takes something from Riot Games, considering that the latter somehow stole the whole idea of canter and magic a few years ago.
Any 5 pistols, any 5 mid-tier weapons, and any 5 rifles. Today's Counter-Strike 2 update introduces a revised loadout system where players select 15 weapons from 3 categories on CT and T-side to bring with them into matches. Including the M4A4 and M4A1-S. pic.twitter.com/enl7mW9qnT

Još one important change is that throwing a HE shell into the smoke will still make a hole in it, but for a much shorter period of time. Many players were concerned about how this new feature in CS2 would affect the game, and it seems that Valve realized that a certain change was necessary.

G2 players NiKo and m0NESY reacted in a cute way when they saw that you can now shoot through holes in the vent without breaking it. Be sure to watch the video below:

Players testing the game havešy yetš one novelty, which Valve did not announce in its patch notes. If the popular chickens circulating the map burn in a fire, the chicken will not spawn as it normally would, but instead become a roast chicken. Some players have already argued that if you bake a chicken, you should be able to eat it to get one hel back.

Given that CS2 is announced for the summer of this year, it seems that this limited test phase does not offer much to players, and that we will see the real thing only when the game itself is released. Given that tournament organizers are already announcing tournaments in the new game during August, we can expect the official version to be released in the foreseeable future.
