The highly anticipated Workshop Map section has been introduced to Counter-Strike 2, fulfilling the desires of the community. Map makers can now upload their creations to the workshop, allowing players to easily download and enjoy them. This addition is expected to attract more map-making groups to join the Source 2 update.
Previously, players had to manually install surf maps like Mesa and Kitsune, as well as workshop maps like Aim_botz. However, with this update, these maps will be readily available in CS2’s Community Server Browser.
In addition to the workshop maps, Valve has made some other changes. They have removed distracting elements from certain maps, such as the flying birds on Inferno, to prevent confusion with flashbangs. Furthermore, players can now manipulate CS2’s volumetric smokes using decoy grenades, allowing for more strategic gameplay.
Valve has been actively updating CS2 since its release, with 12 updates in the past month alone. Despite some glitches, the game has shown promise and the return of community map systems is another positive development.
