CS2 Update
Just over two months after the introduction of Train, Counter-Strike has rolled out another “major” update.
Given the adjective, we were expecting something a bit more impactful, but as is frequently the case, we ended up disappointed.
Basically, the only “major” thing about this update is the ridiculous amount of money flowing into Gaben's pockets.
At the forefront of ‘Spring Forward’ are the three new drop collections - Ascent, Boreal, and Radiant - featuring over 70 new skins. There's also the new Fever case, with 17 community skins, the Shattered Web Knives in Chroma finishes, the Train collection, and the new XM Solitude, a limited-time Armory item.
If we had to pick a standout, it’s definitely the new, mighty-looking AWP Printstream.
If you’ve been scrolling through Twitter lately, you’ve probably seen everyone and their mother unboxing a Doppler finish in their Fever case knives, so maybe now’s the time to test your luck. Just kidding - don’t do that. Unless, of course, burning money is your thing.
And just when you thought it was over, Lord Gaben drops a small crumb for us starving souls who just want some actual gameplay improvements. Inferno and Train got a “Spring cleanup”, as Valve put it, with cleaner surfaces, less clutter, and even a wider banana. Nice.
Overall, if you're an Ohnepixel viewer, you'll be more than happy with this update. On the other hand, if you've been hoping for Valve to fix the glaring issues that still haunt the game, you might have to wait a bit longer.
Is it too soon to start asking for Counter-Strike 3?
