New update revamps cbble, overpass

29-5-2014 14:13

Valve released last night a new update for CS:GO which introduces many changes to de_cobblestone and de_overpass.

Created in December, both maps have been received with mixed feelings, but Valve is hoping that with these changes they will be more to the liking of professional and casual players alike.

We are talking about major structural changes to these maps: in de_cbble's case, for example, all T spawns have been moved to the upper level, and planting on top of the hut on bombsite A is no longer possible.

A controversial aspect about this update is that matches in which a team gets disconnected will no longer terminate, giving the disconnected players the chance to reconnect and play out the contest, which will certainly cause headaches to some players if they happen to come across cheaters.

Below you can find the complete changelog:

[GAMEPLAY]

de_cobblestone

Blocked long sightline from back of Bombsite B
No longer possible to plant on top of hut at bombsite A
Made statue base at bombsite B taller, so players can't peek over

Moved all T spawns to upper level
Decreased fog
Removed small tree near platform in mid
Pushed down some vegetation that players could hide in
Disabled collision on small rocks
Blocked visibility through cart in mid

de_overpass

Made tunnels under Bombsite A easier to navigate
Added lights to hut near Bombsite A

[MISC]

wtf valve, so now we have to wait 16 rounds when we face an aimbotter

2014-05-29 14:22

Wtf is this bullshit..

2014-05-29 14:34

totally useless update. why not work efficiently to stop cheaters? now we are obligated to play 16 rounds against aimbotters, nice work!

2014-05-29 14:35

VAC updates are behind the scenes.

bts or not, still not working... what I mean with work on cheating, is not to release public update notes, but efficiently stop the cheaters.

Read reddit, you have no idea about what ur saying.

2014-05-29 15:31

lol, 'read reddit'... One of the most inaccurate sources of information on the internet; (and it has quite a lot of competition!)

Cheaters are always one step ahead, so stop posting your useless links.

2014-05-30 14:34

They have to be? If they weren't they wouldn't exist? but thanks for sharing your cute little comment.

2014-05-30 22:16

it not useless, OW needs about 10min of game, if u disconnect on first rounds OW will provide overwatchers with no evidence to work with

2014-05-29 20:04

you can maybe still kick eachother and last one can leave ?

2014-05-30 18:16

viva los chitors! PS for how long it will wait for players to reconnect?

2014-05-29 15:00

we just faced a cheaters , and we leaved , the yellow shit didn't go away :(

2014-05-29 15:06

it kind of was our only hope alot of times :Y

2014-05-29 15:57

Don't alt tab, fixed :P

2014-05-29 20:31

Press ESC, gg wp.

2014-05-29 22:52

Hey I had this problem too it happened to me because I'm using a dual monitor setup, hit ESC button while on buy screen and the mouse cursor comes back on the screen.

2014-05-31 10:03

using ESC button on buy screen will close buy menu, and again when i open buy menu it doesn't get fixed.

2014-06-04 18:09

Yeah not sure what they were thinking with the whole leaving thing. In that case they should let us vote surrender without someobody abandoning.

2014-05-29 16:50

biggest problem of mm are cheaters and they make it worse great

2014-05-29 14:23

VALVE!!!!@@@!!!!! WHAT WE HAVE DO (NORMAL CLEAR PLAYERS) with fucking cheaters with hardcore aimbot and speedhach ?? We can't quit match becouse we take a block ( bar for some days).. Why we hve to play 30 minutes match with man who is obvious cheating !! ?

dat rage english

2014-05-29 14:33

But still has a point :D

2014-05-29 15:09

speedhach huehuehue but yea, +1

2014-05-29 14:32

Didn't work because i always buy in the pistol round! I'll try the double ESC like the other said! Thx

That's a shit bug, i got spawned on dust2 B site, first round, as a terrorist with no gun and no knife.

2014-05-29 21:52

I want: -mm server are updated to 128tick

2014-05-29 14:30

this most probably will never happen because it's nor profitable for valve

Well they could offer us to pay some monthly fee for good servers with 128tick. I think if that was to happen, then we would see less chesters as well (in the 128tick ofc). But i doubt it will happen as well.

2014-05-29 19:22

I don't get why people say this. It's a false statement, of course its profitable for Valve, almost anything Valve does or can do is something they can do for profit. It's merely down to the current market of CSGO doesn't deem it a priority at the moment. That is all.

2014-05-29 19:52

"which will certainly cause headaches to some players if they happen to come across cheaters." I doubt it will change anything. People who disconnect still have only 3 minutes to reconnect, so once all the disconnected players have received their penalty the match will end. Unless I misunderstood what is written in the log, I think what they changed is the case where all 5 players disconnected the match used to end immediately not allowing the usual 3 minutes.

2014-05-29 14:36

No. Before, the whole team could leave and only receive a loss and not a MM ban. But now if you leave you will get a ban and the match will not end.

2014-05-29 14:41

match will not end until you receive a ban*

2014-05-29 16:59

I Dont care about cheaters anymore, in last 2 weeks i ranked down from Supreme to Sheriff, and Valve cant do anything with this. Go play Faceit its free, and no cheaters here. Now i dont care about ranks, or anything, just play a game. 95% of cheaters are here only for ranks...

you do have ranks (1-10) and faceit is great and much better than volvoMM But cheaters will always be a problem as long as valve will make money out of them

2014-05-29 14:43

Supreme to Sheriff ? You caught 15 cheaters in a row ? LOOOL Lie to yourself more lool

2014-05-29 18:49

Same story, lost 11 games in a row (played 6 times vs same cheaters, and i and my team leave all times. Those people are just fearless to use aimbot that hard) and i droped from supreme to dmg, and now, when i try to play, win 4-5 matches in a row, rank up on LE and agaiin, cheaters.So sad.

2014-05-29 18:59

I lost 2 ranks in two days, so dont know why you're surprised...also depends on the teammates you have cause if on top of all the trouble they all suck then it makes it even worse...

2014-05-30 19:23

This is BS. Thanks volvo.

shitdate

2014-05-29 14:49

2014-05-29 14:54

Well, make the cheaters wait till the infinite could be a great method :3

2014-05-29 14:53

why bother updating cbble etc when you have so many...cheaters

2014-05-29 14:59

hardware ban for cheaters!

Easy to pass. They need to do some good anti-cheat.

worst update ever

2014-05-29 16:08

so important, was getting tired of campers @ cbble -.-

If troll : bahah laughed +1 If serious : FailFish

2014-06-02 13:38

Make surrender possible all the time then... fucking mongs.

2014-05-29 15:18

really valve? really? did you drop CS:GO to trashbin already?

It was there since the beginning m8

2014-05-29 16:02

just face it, 1.6 was the game. this is just money based. buy more skins and you will have "maybe" an update

2014-05-29 15:23

you sound upset

2014-06-01 13:05

just on time deleted all my capsules Kappa

two words: bad

2014-05-29 15:52

An error occurred while updating CS:GO(content servers unreachable) - wtf is this shit, can u give some advice for me?

2014-05-29 15:47

Matches in which a whole team gets disconnected will no longer terminate and the disconnected players will get the opportunity to reconnect and finish the match. Thats bullshit ääääääääääää

2014-05-29 15:49

Weapons can no longer be deleted from the inventory. WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THE STICKER CAPSULES ?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!

2014-05-29 15:50

sticker capsules are not skins, so they can still be deleted no worries

2014-05-31 20:08

ohh thank god

2014-05-31 20:19

"A controversial aspect about this update is that matches in which a team gets disconnected will no longer terminate, giving the disconnected playersthe chance to reconnect and play out the contest, which will certainly cause headaches to some players if they happen to come across cheaters." The last and only triumph card we had against the cheaters.. Thanks valve

2014-05-29 15:53

Cool. Those two maps remain unplayable nonetheless. It'd be better if they didn't launch an update at all. Useless!

Thats so funny how much effort valve spends into cobblestone and overpass and still dont understand that these maps noone play and its time to better invest time and resourses to other more important things.

2014-05-29 15:56

2014-05-29 16:18

Maybe those two are Valve's favorite maps.

2014-05-29 16:24

I can realistically see Valve forcing Overpass and Coblestone into the map rotation in their next majors, since they wouldn't spend this much effort to satisfy casuals only

2014-05-29 22:46

Everyone knows how stupid valve is, but that would be something unseen. Anyways, that would be two auto veto maps and noone would play these carbages.

2014-05-30 00:32

Actually yesterday was the first time I saw something strange happen. We were playing cache, and this guy got 4 kills with deagle on second round after we lost a pistol, so naturally I think the other team reported him and after few more rounds he was instantly banned and kicked from the server. So I guess if this makes people to stay longer on the server and judge cheaters if they are actual cheaters or not, cuz later we played a match on Ali, we were cruising to 13-0 and apparently a guy on our team had 2 vac bans, but he didn't get banned cuz he wasn't cheating I think. I'm just saying that some people need to realize that not everyone who can kill them through smoke or with a surprise kill is not a cheater, so this might help.

6 replies

Yep, in last couple months with 100% cheaters I have been playing for 3-5 times, every time cheaters got banned pretty fast. Once even on first 2 warmup minutes.

must feel bad to get banned in wup :D

2014-05-29 16:23

I thought this was just coincidental ie somebody was analysing a demo of them on overwatch and their agreement to cheats being used was enough

2014-05-29 17:06

maybe

2014-05-29 17:19

it kind of sucks that volvo wouldn't tell anyone how their systems work in terms of match making rank or report/overwatch issues.

2014-05-30 05:56

Yeah I agree, then the community could work together to overcome hackers etc

2014-05-30 11:47

Nice now we can put /A/ in our names without issues

Matches in which a whole team gets disconnected will no longer terminate and the disconnected players will get the opportunity to reconnect and finish the match. AMAZING FOR HACKERS GJ VALVE <3

Valve, please do continue doing such a great job for the community. Updating maps nobody plays or cares about and doing favors to the cheaters worldwide. Much appreciate.

2014-05-29 16:30

lol it's almost like facebook where they seemingly change things just for the sake of changing things with no real purpose or end vision "hey let's buff the aug hardcore and see what happens"

2014-05-29 16:37

then they call it a "social experiment" AHAHAH

2014-05-29 20:22

at least a good update for me because i play "cobblestone" a lot :D

2014-05-29 16:34

"de_overpass" oh, you again, don't care about you

2014-05-29 16:35

shame on them for putting out such a horribly flawed map. it came out what like 6 months ago? and they're still trying to make it playable

2014-05-29 16:39

it's actually really fun i play it on competitive once in a while if i want an ez win

2014-05-29 17:36

Matches in which a whole team gets disconnected will no longer terminate and the disconnected players will get the opportunity to reconnect and finish the match. Really? volvo fix pls

There's just too much wrong with this game still and VALVe are too busy forcing overpass down people's throat and swimming in money they get from making kids addicted to gambling. If VALVe really had a clue and would give a fuck about setting fundaments for a healthy, sustainable and productive game scene they wouldn't have introduced items into the game after what they could have learned from other games and the past. GO these days is reduced to scamming, raging, insulting, DDOSing, betting, not even matchfixing is unthinkable anymore and all the scene's creative efforts that in the past had made VALVe's games what they would later become is nowadays wasted on skins, not even neat skins at that, just skins that will appeal to a wide audience that can't deal with money properly, i. e. kids. That's why all the workshop these days ever produces is toys instead of mods, game modes, maps, models like it used to be. People are more concerned with matchmaking, skins and betting than they are disgusted by the lackluster state of gameplay and the fact that the game is unoptimized and unpolished in major ways. I mean, sure, some of these things were necessary to happen in order for the game's popularity to grow, and bound to happen with a larger scene, but I personally would everyday of the week go back to 1/4 of the current scene's size and at least have people that actually care about the game itself. I'm growing increasingly tired of the competitive side as well, seeing as how it is obvious the mechanical skill ceiling has more or less been reached to a degree where you see nothing interesting or innovative in matches anymore. All just a tiresome blur by now. It's not like this comes as a surprise either, people have been saying since the game was first released what the dumbed down mechanics, physics and maps will at some point lead to. I'm not saying there's no "skill" involved, teamplay and strategy, i. e. the more sublime mental aspects of competitive CS are all the more important now, but I feel as if no team except for NiP is consistently good at at least one of those two things, which leads to so much unbearable randomness. Also, I rather watch and play chess if I solely want to concentrate on the mental aspects of competitivity, in CS I also always want to see players do sick, unique and innovative stuff, which these days is scarce.

tldr? xd

2014-05-29 18:09

wow, hold on, shakespeare

2014-05-29 21:59

Does this mean that you will get banned if your entire team leaves because there is a guy that is running around and aimbotting?

2014-05-29 17:53

yes sir ,why not? dem logics P.S: Valve hoping you activate aimbot also and get banned so you can buy a new copy of cs:go

ye bro !!!! fU yee... they ruin this game...

2014-05-29 19:55

vac update ? :@@@

2014-05-29 18:17

Weapons can no longer be deleted from the inventory. WHY?! What should I do when I don't want to keep an item in my inventory?

2014-05-29 18:45

you can still delete them its just when you click to delete an item it will reask you again if you are sure you want to delete it and you will just say YES and its gonna be deleted... no problem there...

2014-05-30 19:25

-Weapons can no longer be deleted from the inventory. what should I do with this shit?

2014-05-29 19:01

lelve shit update

2014-05-29 19:11

valve, if you are sticking with the "you cant 5man dc thing" you have to make it so that we can 5man surrender. Also, how about you put in some 1.6 buy menu?

2014-05-29 19:31

plz tuscan...

ADD TUSCAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZZZZ VALVE !!!

2014-05-29 19:53

Cbble looking a lot better now.

2014-05-29 22:00

you earn a ban if you get kicked now ??? is that real ? ( i read that in an other forum )

2014-05-29 22:21

that was always the case - you get banned if you got kicked X times. You also get banned if you kick Y amount of people.

2014-05-30 18:23

how many times ?

2014-05-31 14:56

overpass and cbble are lost cases, valve need to pay attention on new competitive maps

2014-05-29 23:29

its like theyre looking at what people want and do the exact opposite, gg this shit is hopeless.

2014-05-30 01:02

Valve does nothing against CHEATERS and instead makes it harder to avoid them... F*CK you valve you pieces of trash.

Valve will never make a hard fight against Cheaters cuz Valve make money with cheater players, since CS 1.6 they know that this is a easy way to earn good money,

2014-05-30 07:54

to everyone crying bout the cheater issue: you can still surrender :D just like before, if all players disconnected, it counted as a surrender anyways

2014-05-30 09:44

cbble is sexy now. :>

2014-05-30 13:39

LOL why does volvo care so much about cobblestone and overpass... they have all the statistics on hours played on those maps, do they not realize NOBODY LIKES THEM? It seems like more effort is put into those 2 shit maps more than anything else by a longshot. No volvo I still don't want to play those lame maps. TY FOR LAMEST UPDATE EVER. Also good thing no 5 mans can leave a match w/o a ban. What a joke, an entire team does not leave the match unless they are playing against cheaters, bottom line.

2014-05-30 19:07

...this update is awful as it screwed the movement - creating a movement delay/lag... When you press "D" to move right and when you press "A" to go left or whatever anyone is using to movearound - up/down etc... and when you switch guns, and when you bring up console and type..., there's a 1-2-3 second delay. Its impossible to play at all. Its like a lag spike that has nothing to do with the actual connection lag and ping. I have the best possible connection with 15 ping at all times, but this spike continues after this update for some reason and it doesnt matter if you play with bots or on 128 tick or 64 tick servers. There's just a major delay while playing and reinstalling the game didnt help and only incresed the size of the game from 4GB in my fold to 9GB hahaha, so better have an update fixing this TONIGHT! without excuses...

2014-05-30 19:17

i dont have that delaY?

2014-05-31 12:19

nothing

2014-05-30 19:15

I also agree that what's the point of updating these kiddo maps for public games, instead they should've aded more good and oldschool maps to competitive to play via MM. Season needs to be added and also maybe tuscan or something.... That operation phoenix has only 1 good pro map which is CACHE, thats it...

2014-05-30 19:28
