by Kia KahaA new update has been released to CS:GO, which most notably sees the new version of Inferno replacing Dust2 in the Active Duty map pool.
According To Valve:
- We’re making a change to the map pool: Inferno has returned to Active Duty, replacing Dust II, and will be featured at the next CS:GO Major. As in the past, the updated Active Duty pool is automatically selected when you enter Matchmaking.
And in Casual and Deathmatch game modes, it’s now a bit easier to play your favorite maps. Map groups have been separated into additional categories: Active Duty, Hostage, Reserves, and Dust II.
(don’t worry, it’s just as easy as ever to play Dust II. It’s now front and center on the Competitive Matchmaking map selection screen)
The new Inferno will debut in less than two weeks, at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas.
One of the most popular maps has been played in CS:GO competitions since the game’s inception, and now it seems it’s on its way to the workshop to undergo significant changes.
With that, the Active Duty map pool is:
| Mirage |
| Train |
| Nuke |
| Cache |
| Cobblestone |
| Overpass |
| Inferno |
The full changelog is following:
[CSGO]
- Replaced Dust II with Inferno in the Active Duty Group.
- Created a separate Dust II map group for Casual and Deathmatch game modes.
- Separated Reserves Group into Reserves Group and Hostage Group.
[MISC]
