A Valve lançou esta quinta-feira uma mega-atualização ao Counter-Strike com alterações aos preços da M4A4 e das incendiárias. Vertigo também com fortes mudanças.

Os CTs têm agora mais motivos para sorrir. A Valve decidiu baixar o preço das M4A4 de 3100$ para 3000$ e granada incendiária de 600$ para 500$.

As mudanças não se ficaram pela economia, mas o lado terrorista foi afetado também com uma redução do bónus por bomba plantada mas defusada de 800$ para 600$ – para baixar o impacto da primeira e rondas seguintes.

A granada incendiária recebeu também alterações tanto a nível visual como na duração. Também a área implicada com a propagação das chamas foi reduzida, revelou a Valve.

Com várias alterações ao HUD, galinhas e UI, a produtora preparou ainda fortes alterações ao bombsite do A no Vertigo. Entre mudanças nos timings do spawn e fortes alterações visuais neste mapa, outras correções foram feitas ao Baggage, Office e Mirage.

O sistema de visualização de demos também recebeu uma forte remodelação e estará mais estável do que nunca.
