\[ ANIMGRAPH 2 ]

The CS2 animation system has been updated to Animgraph 2, which reduces CPU and networking costs associated with animation.

All third-person animations have been re-authored, and in several cases adjusted in response to player feedback.
Smoothed in-air crouching transitions in first and third-person.
In support of Animgraph 2, the logic adjusting player height on sloped surfaces has been refactored.
- Player height on ramps is now consistent and no longer depends on approach direction.
- As a result of this change, grenade lineups on sloped surfaces may have changed.
