CS2 Update September 23

Counter-Strike 2 Update

[ PREMIER ]

  • Updated the map selection process to give players more opportunities to play maps they've been learning.

  • Map selection process:

    • Team 1 picks one map

    • Team 2 picks two maps

    • Team 1 picks a final map. 

    • One of the four maps will be randomly selected and the match will begin.

[ RUSH ]

  • Rush is a fast-paced queued 3v3 game mode. 

  • Players battle through a series of battle arenas to reach the opponent's castle and win the match.

  • Battle arenas are randomly selected for each match, so no two matches are the same.

  • Control the tower when you eliminate the enemy team (or time expires) to win the round.

[ GAMEPLAY ]

  • Players can now reload silently (but slowly) by pressing and holding the reload key.

  • Un-scoping a sniper weapon no longer produces a sound.

  • Globally increased visual clarity and improved fidelity of bullet impact decals.

  • ammo_grenade_limit_total setting now also enforces the total number of grenades a player is allowed to purchase in a round.

  • Chickens now take damage from the Zeus x27.

[ SETTINGS ]

  • Crosshairs have been updated to be resolution independent.

    • A new "Crosshair/Scopes" tab is available in the Settings menu, and includes updated crosshair settings.

    • Added new crosshair styles

    • Updated the default crosshair to "Dynamic Quad," which better represents weapon accuracy.

[ ENGINE ]

  • Updated engine code to the latest version of Source 2.

[ MAPS ]

  • Fixed holes in world in Long A Main Hall.

  • Adjusted door geometry and grenade clipping inside Jaguar.

Cache

  • Some gap fixes and clipping adjustments around the blue doors in Mid.
