Are the music kits now worth it?
CS2’s latest update has added a new 10-second countdown music for FPS lovers. The ten-second countdown music signals the near of the C4 going off. Here’s all that’s new in the latest CS2 patch notes.
Ten-second Bomb music
The ten-second bomb music has a new audio now. It is essentially a faster paced countdown beep, but you may clearly differentiate when the ten second timer starts. The new audio is much more noticeable and will be a big help to all players who rely on this music.
Every round, when the bomb timer is down to the last ten seconds, there is a musical note that plays. The start of the music note helps players realize when the bomb will set off.
Another key advantage of the new countdown sound is that players will still be able to hear opponents when they are alive. One of the disadvantages of the music kits inCS:GO, was the ten-second countdown timer masking opponents sounds.
Why is this important you ask? As a player, if you do not have a defuse kit, it takes exactly ten seconds to defuse the bomb. The music indicator ensures that players know when the c4 will blast. It helps players make a conscious decision to either abandon the defuse attempt and save their weapon or continue.
There are also improvements to the footstep audio, making them clearer and more audible to others on the map. The sound fall off distances have also been adjusted. This means if you whiff a knife kill, there is a decent chance your knife swishing sound will not reach the opponent if they are far off.
