Valve delighted Counter-Strike 2 fans with a new major update called "The Armory." This event marks the first update in the "Operation" format for the game, which launched just over a year ago.
Players now have access to unique items such as weapon charms, new weapon collections, and cases. Valve has primarily focused on cosmetic enhancements and new inventory customization options.
What's Interesting About the New Operation?
Unlike regular patches, the "The Armory" update offers users a new gameplay format centered around earning and utilizing credits that can be exchanged for exclusive items. This allows players not only to battle in familiar modes but also to earn cosmetic bonuses that make the game more personalized.
Deep Gameplay Changes
In addition to new items and customizations, Valve has implemented a significant number of changes to game mechanics and character animations. Developers have addressed issues with model posing on slopes, revamped running, walking, and crouching animations, which noticeably improve the game's overall visual perception. Many elements of network interaction have also been adjusted: changes have impacted how game packets are delivered and reduced jitter's impact on gameplay, enhancing game smoothness.
They absolutely cooked with fixing these leg animations.

Furthermore, changes have been made to network code and improvements in audio and even graphics — developers have fixed numerous bugs that hindered players from enjoying the experience. The update includes a host of minor tweaks, including enhanced grenade effects and adjustments in movement animations.
Conclusion
The "The Armory" update demonstrates Valve's commitment to making Counter-Strike 2 even more dynamic and enjoyable for players. This patch not only fixes numerous bugs but also adds new customization elements, allowing players to stand out in the world of CS2.
