🔥 CS2 Update Breakdown – AnimGraph2 Overhaul, Surf Sounds & Map Makeovers!
Today’s patch refreshes how CS2 feels to play: brand-new first-person animations, cleaner gunplay feedback, and a chunky pass on classic maps. Let’s break it down 👇

All first-person animations—deploy, fire, reload, inspect—have been reauthored for a crisper, more responsive look.
Chickens got a full animation pass, too.

Hits feel more consistent when you’re strafing.
Shotgun reloads no longer auto-resume after an interruption.
Tighter control in hectic trades.
Fixed cases of players getting stuck on geometry while surfing.

🔊 Audio
Per-player voice volume adjustments now behave correctly.
Dial teammates in without affecting your whole mix.
