Counter-Strike: Source - Dust 2 Server Updates
Server Performance
We have increased the overall tick rate of the server from ~64 to 100 tick, showing a significant increase in hit registration and better feeling movement. Alongside our tick rate increase, a bug that made the AK seem out of sync of its bullets and spray has been fixed.Friday Funday
With the success of Friday Funday and its response, we decided to make changes and add variety to this event. Exclusive to Friday Funday, Team Deathmatch has been added as an option to run throughout the event - especially on crowd favorite Crackhouse. Last Man Standing (a unique eGO gameplay mod) is also configured ready to play for late night gamers who seek competition. Additional fun commands have been enabled for event hosts to maximize fun.Gameplay Changes
Now, at the beginning of each match players will be forced to use a pistol on the first round, this allows for team balancing to occur and any stragglers don't miss out on the action. It also brings back the nostalgia of pistol round to Dust2. Players will begin with $800 round one, and be upgraded to $16000 starting round 2. As for balancing teams, it has been updated to be less-forceful, auto-balance only is in effect if there is a 2+ player discrepancy.In the realm of grenade spam - players can now only purchase one grenade. Players can no longer buy multiple grenades at the start of the round, this is to prevent grenade spam and boost overall fairness in matches, more shooting less kaboom.
Misc. Quality of Life
- Make sure to spray away, custom sprays and skins are back and able to be used. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
- Team flashbangs have been significantly reduced and less white blind will occur when experiencing a friendly flash, flash away.
- Freecam/Spectate is back, freelook and spectate wherever you'd like.
- Daily restart now gives multiple warnings leading up to the restart, so no more being caught off-guard in your 1v4 clutch up.
Lastly, lower interpolation is now unlocked:
- If you run cl_interp 0 and cl_interp_ratio 1, you'll get roughly a 10ms lerp on our 100-tick servers (down from the previous 20ms floor) for a snappier, more real-time feel on shot placement.
