Less than a day has passed since the new CS2 update, and dataminer Thour has found an incredible amount of new details or things that could impact or will impact the future of the game. This news will publish what is known at the time of writing.
Decline in FPS After the Update
Thour conducted testing and reported that after the update, his average FPS dropped by 14% and 18.6% in the 1% percentile FPS. This once again shows that Valve has yet to optimize their update.
The testing was done at a screen resolution of 1920x1080, with medium settings and 2x MSAA.

Reference to the Return of Train
He also found graffiti called train_graffiti_01a in the game files, suggesting the possible return of the legendary Train. Additionally, an hour after publishing the news about the graffiti, he shared that he clearly sees "2024" on the train graffiti.
YO @CounterStrike! I can clearly see the "2024" in the Train's graffiti file. Can't wait to play the map 😍 https://t.co/tvFWgr6ioY pic.twitter.com/Kor3DEPDSE

Sounds Interacting with Chicken
Another update point was the addition of sounds in the lines of code, but not in the game itself. He also speculated that this will be used for chicks rather than the chickens themselves.
Sound Events related to Chicken's Interaction were added.

New Mode
Lines about a new mode related to combat or melee fighting were added to the game code. The logo can already be found in the "Equipment" section under the name movelinear. It may also be something like a mini-game called Danger Zone, and all the above remains speculation for now.
