Valve today launched a new CSGO update, in which players can now use the MP5-SD in official matchmaking, and have added a new setting “mp_solid_teammates 2”, which allows players to stand on top of teammates and is enabled in casual, demolition and Flying Scoutsman game modes.
They have also updated the FBI Character Models on Nuke, Agency, and Office.
Some minor changes have been made on Nuke, Train, and Office as well. For example, the corridor leading to the ramp room has been made slightly wider on Nuke and windows are now fully breakable in Office. Surprisingly, this is the first time Office has seen an update since May 2015.
Finally, now that the FACEIT Major is over, the default landing page on the Watch tab has been adjusted to the global live matches tab. The in-game Champion and Finalist trophies have also been updated.
