The controversial update of CS 2

Before talking about the good updates, let’s take a look at the controversial elements of the update. The latest CS 2 update has brought about a significant change to the Active Duty map pool, marking the return of the old popular map Dusty 2 while removing another popular and fan-favorite map Overpass. This move has gotten mixed responses from the CS2 community. 

Overpass was a popular and fan-favorite map for CS2 players due to its verticality and multiple bomb sites. Even though players didn’t like this change, they suggested removing maps like Mirage, which could have benefited from a break. 

Alternatively, Vertigo, which has faced criticism for its gameplay, could have been a more logical choice for removal, as Valve could have worked on it and made it better. 

The return of Left Hand in CS2

The latest CS2 update has reintroduced the left-hand view model, a feature that many players had been eagerly waiting for since the game’s launch seven months ago. This change has been highly requested by the community.

However, Valve added a little twist to it. Unlike CS:GO, where you could switch between left and right-hand view models instantly, without any hassle. But in CS2, changing hands now requires you to pull out your weapon again, resulting in a delay. This can hugely impact the gameplay, as CS2 is very fast-paced, potentially impacting survival in critical situations. 

Update on Inferno Map

Since the Inferno revamp, it has gradually become one of the less-played maps in the CS2 Active Duty pool. Players have commonly complained that it felt too cramped, especially with overhead buildings hindering hamper utility usage.

Valve seems to have addressed these concerns in the latest update. They’ve made significant changes to the overhead buildings in Mid and on Banana, creating a more open feel to the map. 

Additionally, the banana has been widened slightly, which is seen as a very positive change. It remains to be seen if these adjustments will fully restore Inferno to its former popularity.
