Counter-Strike 2 is being praised once again for its gorgeous-looking water, and I can see why.
Just last month we were surprised to learn that Counter-Strike 2 has some of the best water ever seen in a game, and now, almost three weeks later, I can confirm that this is still the case and that it isn't limited to just sewer water. Let me explain. Twitter user skilful has shared a video of what looks like Counter-Strike 2's Ancientmap, specifically an area where players need to walk through fairly deep swamp water.
Despite probably lying stagnant for a long time now, developer Valve has once again made the water on this map look absolutely stunning. We're not the only ones that think so, either. Just check the replies to Twitter user ParametricPalta, who quote retweeted the original video, saying: "Valve devs casually dropping the most insane graphics tech every 5+ years without even making it the main thing about their games."

Other Counter-Strike 2 players have seen this as a potential problem, like Twitter user kenyou_digit, who replied to the above tweet with: "My CPU seeing this," along with a clip of Kiryu from Yakuza 2 slamming his fist on a desk and storming out the room, which feels appropriate. If your PC is up for the task though, you're in for a treat when playing the Ancient map in Counter-Strike 2. And besides, you can probably always crank the settings down if your CPU is actually struggling.
The version of the game you're seeing above comes from the Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test, which has been ongoing since March. Valve has promised players that the full game is set to release in "summer 2023," and since we're already in August, it's got to be right around the corner. At the time of writing, there's no firm release date yet.
While we wait to hear more about Counter-Strike 2, find out what else you should be playing with our best shooter games list.

Hello–It’s unbelievable to me that it has been seven years since No Man’s Sky was released, and to celebrate today we are releasing our largest update of the year – No Man’s Sky Echoes.
I'm still shocked that the Warlock's Hexblade patron from Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition (D&D 5e) isn't in Baldur's Gate 3. For those unfamiliar, the Hexblade is a Warlock subclass from the rulebook Xanathar's Guide to Everything, focused on mixing martial might with pact magic. It's a perfect spellblade—sometimes called a 'gish' in the tabletop community.

Valve has kept the hype going with its limited playtest, but many players have been awaiting news of an open beta or early access.

Video games are quite expensive. We don’t have to tell you that as I’m sure you all are very aware of their costs. But this latest generation of console platforms also brought with it a new standard for AAA games. Instead of paying the typical $59.99 for a new video game release, we’re instead dealing with $69.99 price tags. So knowing what games to go for at launch and which titles are worth skipping until they are discounted is pretty crucial. But if you’ve been saving back and have some spare funds to spend, then we have a new promo available to share. It looks like those on the Xbox platform can take advantage of a new sale right now.
