In usual Valve fashion, CS2 unexpectedly received a massive 8 GB update today, introducing tons of exciting changes to the game, including a remastered version of Train.
While the arrival of Train has certainly taken the spotlight in the new CS2 update, the patch also introduced a plethora of other improvements, with the most notable changes being in the iconic map Overpass.
In addition to the visual upgrades across the map, players tuning into Overpass will also be able to notice significant performance improvements in specific areas like Canals and B-site as a result of the shallow water being removed.
Alongside performance improvements, the B-site has received minor tweaks to enable players to move more freely through the bomb site. The handcart behind the barrels in B-site has also been removed.
Other than that, various objects on the map have received adjustments for better visibility.
