Neither Dota 2 nor CSGO play Hazardous Environments when loading the game after getting Panorama.

I hate to be pessimistic, but it really does feel like they're phasing out Valve's old identity.

[Borealis]

The Lab does play a custom remixed version when loading, you're in a room full of valves too.

Heck Valve getting normal people working there might be a good thing.

thats because they did change it before. Then people were so used to the beep sound and meep nerp that they bitched till they changed it back.

[Borealis]

Curious how Valve will be when everyone including Gabe is gone. They're never changing the flat structure, so they'll never be "normal".

[Tuskin]

I like the new UI.

[chipsnapper]

Is this the use key sound or the HEV suit sound?

[Borealis]

The former, the lower pitched beepbeep.

I feel like I'll get annoyed with it soon. There's nothing really unique about it (Battlefield is almost identical) and it feels like I am on a music streaming web page. It's clean and functional but has no personality or characteristics that make it iconic to Counter Strike. As someone heavily involved with UI/UX it is discouraging to see such a large game be so uninspired in their design style. It's like they replaced the entire identity of CSGO with a better but generic version of itself.

[Borealis]

I never played much Dota 2, but that game's UI has a lot more personality. Guess all the best UI designers want to work on overhauling Steam or working on Dota 2.

I think I've seen this somewhere

It looks generic as fuck but it sure as hell looks and especially feels a lot better to use compared to the current one
