Last night, Valve shocked the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive community by releasing a major update to the game. This update introduces a new Operation, Operation Wildfire, an updated version of de_nuke, and tons more.Operation Wildfire runs from now until June 17. For $5.99 (USD) for the All Access Pass, you earn a Challenge Coin, Operation Journal, two campaigns (Wildfire Campaign, Gemini Campaign), new Blitz missions, Wildfire Cases, and Wildfire weapon drops. The two campaigns feature over 50 new missions for players to partake of. In addition, seven new community created maps have been added to the game. These maps are Tulip, Cruise, Coast, Empire, Mikla, Royal, and Santorini.
Challenge Coin and Operation Journal
The Operation Wildfire Coin, displayable wherever your avatar is shown, is upgraded by completing campaign Challenge Missions. The Journal tells the story of your play during the operation. Visible only to you, check your stats for your competitive play and see where you rank with your friends on the leaderboard.
Two Campaigns
Earn XP by fighting your way through the Wildfire Campaign, or by joining a friend and completing the cooperative Gemini Campaign featuring replayable Guardian and all new Co-op Strike Missions.
All-New Blitz Missions
Keep on the look-out for Blitz missions, where players can earn bonus XP for performing specific actions during global windows of opportunity. You must be Private Rank 3 or above to participate in competitive Blitz missions.
Wildfire Case and Weapon Drops
Available exclusively to Operation Wildfire coin holders, the Wildfire Case features 16 top-rated community-created weapon finishes and the new Bowie Knife. Coin holders will also exclusively get weapon drops from the Operation drop list, which consists of the Cobblestone, Overpass, Cache, Gods and Monsters, Chop Shop, and Rising Sun collections.

Access to the new maps is free and does not require you to purchase the All Access Pass for Operation Wildfire. The update also introduced a radically updated look for de_nuke complete with an updated layout in various key areas. I did a short walkthrough video of the updated Nuke, which you can see below after the full changelog from last night's update. Plenty of additional details can be found at Counter-Strike.net.
