  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Update Introduces Fake C4 Planting (November 6, 2013)

    An update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was released tonight. Among the many changes, changes have been made to the way the C4 is planted in maps. It now features an audible tune that everyone can hear but only the player planting will be able to hear the code typing sounds. This allows for the possibility of fake planting, just as CTs can fake diffuse.

    There are more changes to the sound design, fixes to the maps, UI, and more.

    Changelog for CS:GO for November 6, 2013

    GAMEPLAY
    - Changed C4 planting sounds based on pro feedback. When planting the bomb, it plays an initialization sound that everyone can hear, but ONLY the player planting will hear the code typing sounds. This makes fake planting possible (similar to fake diffusing as a CT).

    - All items now follow the same pick up sound rules (grenades, C4, weapons, defuse kits, etc):
    -- If a player picks up an item while running, it plays a pickup sound that everyone can hear.
    -- If a player picks up an item while moving silently, it plays a subtle pickup sound to ONLY the player picking it up.
    - Weapons, grenades, and remaining money are now displayed as icons above player heads during freezetime. (Thanks R-arcHoniC)
    - Fixed overhead teammate arrows not showing up in some cases.
    - Fixed automatic observer target selection failing to find a controllable bot when a player was killed.

    MAPS
    - Cache:
    -- Fixed lighting on prop in CT spawn.
    -- Fixed buggy wallbangs at A main and B halls.
    -- Fixed issue with dropping bomb behind spools in mid warehouse.

    - Mirage:
    -- Increased size of Bombsite A plant area.
    -- Opened up skybox in T spawn.
    -- Improvements to visibility throughout the map. (Thanks andzie!)
    -- General optimizations.
    -- Smoothed out movement in Bombsite B.

    UI
    - Added ability to link your Steam account to Twitch.tv account.
    - Added Link to Twitch.tv button in Watch tab.
    - Added more stats to the Spectator Graphs: Average Damage per Round, Headshot Percentage, Total Cash Earned.
    - Fixed uncased knives with no finish displaying incorrectly in the GOTV and Demo UI.
    - Fixed spectator weapon panel staying visible when switching to Roam camera.
    - Fixed player panel appearing behind graphs.

    DEMOS
    - Work in progress improvements to demoui & demoplayer:
    -- Seeking backward no longer reloads the map.
    -- Can now seek to next/previous round start or player death.

    COMMUNITY
    - Fixed x-ray rules for coaches.
    - Players can now become coaches during freezetime in addition to warmup.

      It's just one tactic to make the enemy attack. Likewise the CT can fake defuse to get the Terrorist out of hiding. In CS 1.6 it was very common, nice to see they brought it back. Or at least now it can be properly faked.
