Holy shit.

I'm really excited to see all the RTX remixes of old DX9 games - it's a pretty straightforward pipeline of to up-port an old game from my understanding.

Can't imagine something like Burnout Paradise with raytracing.....

Nvidia put out a new video showing off some of the work in progress - it looks GORGEOUS! They're really putting some effort into making new highrez assets and not just uprezing old stuff.

Ravenholm is gonna be creepy as hell

A lot of people.

It's called CS2 and it's on the next engine and no one is happy.

Haha do you play? I got sucked back in recently and probably put a couple hundred more hours in. 

The grenade bounces were/are just fucking awful. Try and get creative with some angles and it hits you in the face or smokes off the wrong shit entirely.

I used to play a TON, but fell off when CS2 hit. I was never that great, but I really enjoy the gameplay and tension of a good match. 

I have a few skins that have exploded in value though so that's fun

I opened a case for a $200 AK my last go round. Had to sell it for bills. 

I'm okay. Was playing at like 5k prime level. 

I'll hyu if I ever get back into it. I don't take it super seriously anymore.

I don't think I ever played Half Life 2.I have vivid memories of playing 1 at a friend's house, played a lot of CS in college. But I guess I never played #2.

All the Half-life content is on sale right now. Just bought HL2 for $0.99. I'll check it out with this RTX mod when it comes out.

If you haven't, check out Black Mesa whenever you wanna replay HL1. There's a big mod project for Blue Shift that im looking forward to

I moved over to Team Fortress 2 and never looked back, even with the bots.

It just turned 20, so bear that in mind when playing it, but it was every bit as groundbreaking as the original. A true opus.

On that note, Valve doesn't make many games, but their "hit" rate is nearly unmatched. HL, HL2, Portal and Portal 2 stand amongst the best ever.
