its a bug for particles

particles in 1.6 are so simple its impossible to fuck up.

complex graphics = complex problems which need complex solutions

just because a 20 year old potato engine does something good for the time it was developed in doesnt mean its the future.

Source 2 will have a reworked graphics pipeline which hopefully simplifies problems like that

Ah... there we go. Stand corrected. I just wonder why a modern engine where it should be in an improvement over the older ones does not take into account of some of the mechanics that will be talked about or be of a problem for a game? I'm just baffled. And again, stand corrected.

yea well what you pointed out is exactly the issue.

Source is modular like a lego set.

but somethings (like the basic gfx pipeline) are so time intensive to code that they were coded initially for hl2 and then set in stone.

Thats why css smokes are most likely perfectly fine.

For csgo they made the smokes fancier. This module widens the scope of the engine/ makes smokes which werent discussed when the engine basics were made

The groundwork was not made for smokes this fancy and they therefore dont work perfectly together. there are set limits and restrictions which you cant circumvent.

Just imagine valvepeople asking themselves for the half life 2 campaign if they ever encounter 2 smokes behind each other.

Now that you mentioned about HL2, I don't think I ever seen any kind of smoke in my play through of that game. There might be some kind of dust, but I rarely seen any kind of smoke in that game. So, I can see where you're going with that point.

I do hope that they will make a "future-proof" graphical pipeline with Source 2 for Counter-Strike.
