CS:GO news

Yesterday the CS:GO team released a new update. The main feature of this update is the release of CS:GO dedicated server files. These files allow users to run their own CS:GO servers.

DARKLY and Aim2Game are in the process of setting up several CS:GO servers for our community. What kind of  game settings and maps would you like to see? Let us know in the comments!

For the full release log see below

Release notes for 5/11 Beta 14

Gameplay

• Tweaks to the recoil model based on player feedback.

• Decreased the throw velocity for Incendiary and Molotov grenades. They can no longer be thrown far enough to block terrorists from leaving spawn in Inferno. 

• Removed the ability to exploit the radar data.

• The aiming precision now changes back to the standing accuracy state immediately after the crouch button is released as opposed to waiting until you get to a full stand. 

• Movement speed when entering a crouched state will no longer instantly switch to crouched speed. This should improve crouch jumping. 

• Added the option to have the very first round in a match have a "warmup period". This gives late joiners the chance to start at the same time as everyone else.

• Players who join late into an Arms Race match get the same weapon given to them as the player with the current lowest level in the game.

• Changed the default player models to st6 and phoenix; this addresses the issues with error geometry being shown on player created maps.
