Valve je izbacio novi CS:GO update koji će značajno utjecati na igru. Promjene se ponajprije odnose na ekonomiju te CZ i Tec9 pištolje. Dodane su i nove mape u rotaciju za Competitive i Casual matchmaking.

CS:GO Update 

Najznačajnija promjena u novom updateu odnosi se na ekonomiju. Timovi će tako početi prvu rundu halfa kao da su jednu rundu već izgubili. U prijevodu to znači da će ekipa koja izgubi pištolj rundu dobiti 1900$ umjesto dosadašnjih 1400$, a losing bonus za izgubljen runde će dalje ići 2400$, 2900$ i 3400$ koliko će i dalje iznositi maksimalni bonus. Cilj je umanjiti važnost pobjede u pištolj rundi. Tako bismo uskoro mogli viđati prvu buy rundu već u trećoj, umjesto u četvrtoj rundi (1900$+2400$).

Jedna od novih mogućnosti je i  eco rush plant u pištolj rundi na T strani, koji s uspješnim plantom i izgubljenom rundom donosi 3500$, koliko će dobiti CT strana i ako defa i osvoji rundu.

CZ je prilagođen tako da potiče semi-automatic fire na srednjim i velikim udaljenostima, a Tec9 je dobio mali buff s kojim je smanjena nepreciznost pištolja, kako bi ga bilo lakše koristiti. Cijene za SG553 i AUG su također smanjenje.

Mapa Austria dodana je u rotaciju u Competitive Matchmakingu iz kojeg je maknuta Canals, a community mape Biome i Subzero sada su dostupne u Casual matchmakingu u Group Sigma.

Evo i izvornog changeloga:

GAMEPLAY
– Adjusted the start-of-half economy with the goal of reducing the impact of a pistol round win on subsequent rounds.
— In Competitive Matchmaking, both teams are now considered to start the half with a one-round ‘losing streak’ that is reset following a round win. Instead of $1400, the Round 1 loser receives $1900, then $2400 for a subsequent loss, etc.
— The start-of-half losing streak can be adjusted via “mp_starting_losses”

– CZ75a: Adjusted the CZ75a to encourage semi-automatic fire at medium and long ranges.
— increased recoil and fire inaccuracy
— slightly improved accuracy recovery rate

– Tec9: Adjustments to make the weapon more forgiving at medium rates of fire.
— reduced fire inaccuracy
— slightly improved accuracy recovery rate

– SG553 price reduced to $2750
– AUG price reduced to $3150

MAPS
– Austria is now available in Competitive Matchmaking.
– Austria has been moved into Group Delta in official Casual matchmaking.
– New Community maps Biome and Subzero are now available in Casual >matchmaking as part of Group Sigma.
– Canals has been removed from Competitive Matchmaking.
– Shipped and Insertion are no longer available in official matchmaking.

AUDIO
– Added a “VOIP Positional” audio setting. When this setting is enabled, in-game voice audio will be played from the position the player is standing at.

MISC
– Enabled mouse bindings for voice chat to work in end of match scoreboard.
– Fixed backlog of async events in scoreboard causing performance problems during gameplay.
