May update of Counter-Strike 2
Developers of online shooters of the caliber of CS present updates rarely, because the very format of such works implies that they have everything you need from the release, and the balance from the start brought to mind. Nevertheless, for the second "Contra" prepared a patch with fixing some bugs and adding content. We are talking about the maps created by fans of the game - Valve employees decided to add them to the standard set of locations. Let's discuss it in detail.
How does Counter-Strike 2 change in May 2025?

Let's start with the fixes. The developers solved the problem of fire visibility through smoke, canceled the progression reset when reconnecting to the same match, and also reported on interface improvements. But that's not all. Sound customization has also been improved, including the option to amplify and attenuate background noise available in the menu. Bullets flying over smoke now doesn't muffle a hit, and stomping and gunfire noises aren't jammed in due to circumstances on the battlefield. Finally, the "/" key has become suitable for linking teams - previously the game would "forget" its purpose between matches. Although the most serious changes in the shooter are related not to the technical part, but to the maps and tasks.
Valve's online shooter offers weekly challenges - their list is easy to find in the main menu. The gamer has a week to complete each task, and whoever manages to do it in time will get a significant increase in experience points and at the same time will pump up his account. Now Basalt, Edin, Palais and Whistle levels created by users have been removed from the game. In their place, five maps have been added from the community. Dogtown and Brewery - in the "Partners" mode, and Jura, Grail and Agency - in "Fight to the Death", "Normal" and "Competitive". Traditionally, the roster of classic locations (like Dust 2 and Inferno) was changed in two types of battles with bomb disposal and hostage rescue.
