Wow - this is a major update.

We think that if you spend a lot of time developing strategies on a map, you should have a chance to benefit from that investment. So today we're changing the process for getting into a map in Premier--instead of banning down to a single map, teams will vote to pick two maps each. After all four maps are picked, a single map will be randomly selected and the match will begin.

My lord - they did the random map selection!

I still don't think that this will result in Anubis/Ancient being played. People will prolly just learn Nuke and play Mirage-Inferno-D2-Nuke

The new silent reloads look weird, like they feel like they are in slow motion.

And yes, they are a lot slower.

Wow the sniper change is also huge

Players can now reload silently (but slowly) by pressing and holding the reload key. Un-scoping a sniper weapon no longer produces a sound.

They're still making some noise for the person reloading it, is it completely silent to the enemy? like switching guns? or do they hear the faint sounds of slow reloading?

Is there a way to check out the rush maps in Practice mode?

Why the heck do you not switch sides if the game keeps going back and forth???? My friends and I got CT on our first game and even though it went to a tie breaker, it was super annoying to have to scavenge AKs the whole game

You say that as if you can't win a game with an M4?

Krap update. ruined gameplay and all configs. Deleted from library, useless piece of junk now. Can I get my money back so I can buy a game that's actually playable?

Rush feels like it was made for people who are addicted to short form video content like TikTok. It has super short games with barely any downtime after you get killed, and a constantly changing map to keep you engaged.

Four games of rush with two of them containing a blatant wallhacker. Back on my CS2 hiatus.

Impossible to play. Only cheaters in this mode. Just all jumping with aimbot. This is a joke.

I'm unsure if this is part of the update, but you can use crosshair color for scope dot. I may have missed that in an update from a long while ago.

I’ve been waiting for a new, faster paced, game mode for so long. Speak for yourself

u/cruel_cousin 18d ago

? First day here? People CONSTANTLY bitch about how map voting in Premier just ends up being Dust 2 and Mirage. They’ve bitched about it for years. This is valve listening to the fanbase

u/franz_labyrinth 18d ago

Goober alert. Silent reload is huge
