Für Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ist Operation Riptide (Operation Springflut) veröffentlicht worden – inkl. neuen Agenten, Missionsarten, Spiel-Modifikationen, Karten und natürlich einem Operationspass. Außerdem wurden private Matchmaking-Warteschlangen hinzugefügt. Fortan kann man „Queue Codes“ an seine Freunde verschicken, die dann an den Matches teilnehmen können. Darüber hinaus wurden kleine, aber feine Änderungen an Dust2 vorgenommen.

We’re adding new maps during the Operation and updating Ancient and Dust2. Here’s a sneak peek at Dust2 changes: pic.twitter.com/2nCfoFktYi
