Patch Notes
0 Frags +

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[UI]
– Adjusted Spectator Graphs: Replaced HSP and economy stats with Enemies Flashed and Utility Damage.
– Added main menu UI to register for a new beta.
[MAPS]
– Tulip
— Various bug and exploit fixes
– Mirage
— Vandalism
– Moved Nuke to the Active Duty map group.
– Moved Inferno to the Reserves map group.
[OPERATION WILDFIRE]
– Updated a Wildfire mission (YOINK!) for the bonus condition to use Santorini instead of Nuke.
[SDK]
– demoinfogo tool code is now available on GitHub and no longer ships as part of SDK.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-demoinfo, patches welcome.
– demoinfogo includes a GitHub fix for PlayerInfo being retrieved with wrong Entity if players reconnect during the match demo (Thanks rchh!).
[COMMUNITY SERVERS]
– Changed default value for cvar sv_quota_stringcmdspersecond=16 to make community servers that don’t actively configure this setting run with a more conservative command rate limit.

Rumor has it:

- The new beta is "Prime" matchmaking, looks like Valve's taking a page out of the Amazon book for higher quality matchmaking: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/79db109944a71a270e1b5b03440ee18e717dd9d4

- Here's the FAQ string that describes its intent:

Valve (in-game)CS:GO is running an experiment to find out whether players will have a better matchmaking experience when they are matched with players who are using a phone-linked CS:GO account.

To join the experiment, you'll need to upgrade your CS:GO account to Prime status. Just click the UPGRADE button below, which will bind your Steam phone number to your CS:GO account (provided it qualifies, see the F.A.Q. below).

If you own multiple CS:GO accounts, be sure to upgrade your favorite one since you can only upgrade one CS:GO account to Prime status with your qualifying phone number.

Once there are enough Prime accounts, we will begin Prime Account Matchmaking and will start prioritizing matching Prime status players with each other.

There's nothing else you need to do (except convince your friends to click that Upgrade button too so we get enough players to start testing!)

- They were suspiciously absent from the update that also included the Pick'Em trophies, but trophies for MLG Columbus participants have been added with this item schema update

- Graffiti was added to Mirage to commemorate coldzera's quadruple AWP devastation against Liquid, ImPieLife of reddit shared a screenshot of it

- Here's some low-level stuff and GC protobufs for developers: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking/commit/433a3fd9021ab616a33d00b8fa6e06643aafde67

inferno was so fun though. the spots cts could hide were kinda bs (especially graveyard) and pushes to B were pretty 1-dimensional but it was a map where you could go for different plays like aggro banana/apps, and there were some interesting angles/ways to peek. cya in like 2 years then

the thing about valve is, they don't remove maps for reworks in order of how badly they need changes, they do it in order of how old a map is because they want to update the aesthetic of old maps to match the newer ones

I wish they had gone with updating d2 first tho

they rework it in order of how unbalanced they are, currently inferno is the most unbalanced in the rotation, so it gets removed

the only reason they added nuke is because they put in effort reworking it even though it's still garbage

Kinda expected, they are 100% reworking Inferno, there have already been found new textures for it a while ago.
Still sucks tho, nuke is awful atm, probably even worse than old nuke was and most pro's hate it -https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/4fw2p5/pro_opinions_on_inferno_nuke/

Sounds like this is related to/the result of the TF2 matchmaking beta. Wonder if this is also why the TF2 beta has gone quiet, and if it'll become active again at some point...

prime account will isolate hackers and smurfs. That problem won;t be solved but for sure will give us more fun from game. Let the hackers fight each other that tactic is kinda smart. Even boosting sites are apreciating this. I think its huge step forward and signal for us that valve don't forget competetive games , tahts good maybe we will get 128 tick rate in future
