  • Valve

    Counter-Strike 2 Update

    Valve added a custom_hud_layout entity, letting scripted maps draw their own panels, labels and buttons with CSS styling. A cs_player_camera entity takes over a player's view without moving them, plus new bomb plant and defuse hooks.

    For your guild
    This is for the people who run a community server, not the people who play on it. A map maker can now build a scoreboard, a shop or a round overlay into the map itself, which is what a custom game mode has been missing. Nothing changes for matchmaking.

    Counter-Strike 2 Update

    The August 3 update fixes grenades thrown through level geometry, patches gaps and collision across Cache, removes a boost spot outside Cache's A site, and updates Shelter to its latest Workshop version.

    For your guild
    If Cache is in your practice pool, re-walk it before the next match. The removed boost outside A and the collision fixes will quietly kill setups your team has drilled.

    Counter-Strike 2 Update

    Boulder, Fachwerk and Shelter each took their latest Workshop version, the Ranked Series stickers went on sale with half of royalties shared with players and teams, and Valve closed a hole that let players dodge VACnet.

    For your guild
    Three community maps changed under you. Re-walk any of them that sit in your practice pool before the next match, and get team-fund sticker buys in before the Cologne shop closes on September 29.
