Maps and MVPs. Latest CS2 Update!
In the last few days, many people said the operation was close, and a big update was coming, but we ended up only having few maps and new MVPs.
Everyone is expecting Valve to make something huge with all that hype about new operation and major updates coming to the game, but it seems like they are not interested in satisfying our needs. Operation Riptide happened over 1000 days ago and since then we didn't experience anything new!
For now, let's put our complaints away and focus on things that the latest update (26.06.2024) brought us into the game.
New maps
New maps are always welcome! Mapping community works really hard to provide us with their best work, and we all can agree that they are doing a great job.
Wingman
Memento
Assembly
Arms Race
Pool Day
Deathmatch, Casual and Competitive Matchmaking
Thera
Mills
All maps are currently available in game, and you are free to explore them!
Small ranked system changes
Competitive Matchmaking had some issues, especially when it comes to map-based ranks and skill distribution. Valve took notes and according to them, they made things easier!
Speaking of Competitive Matchmaking, we've given map-based skill groups an overhaul. In addition to redistributing players across the Skill Groups, we've also made it easier to earn those badges in the first place.
MVP
Who doesn't like to be rewarded? New MVPs are a nice touch to the game which makes us players feel more appreciated. Not only we have some new “titles” but also animations!
