A big update for you Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta participants tonight. Valve has added in cs_italy, a new map for Demolition mode called St. Marc, and de_dust2_se for the competitive crowd.
The full list of changes can be found below.
We hope to have some media up for the new map additions shortly.
This week’s update includes de_dust2_se. You will be able to access it through the map command “map de_dust2_se” in the console. This is a version of Dust2 with the fog off, props removed, cables removed, and particle effects removed. It was created especially for pro-competitive play and leagues.
