Update removes de_overpass boosts

5-12-2014 03:14

Today, Valve released a new update for CS:GO which, among other things, makes a number of major changes to de_overpass, and some cosmetic changes to de_nuke.

As was expected, the boosts in de_overpass which caused so much controversy during the quarter-finals of DreamHack Winter 2014 have been removed.

Additional changes to the A bombsite have also been made, including the removal of pit stairs (which have been replaced by a jump), and the extension of the plant zone to cover a much larger portion of the site.

The full patch notes are as follows:

[DREAMHACK]

– Added Pick’Em Challenge trophies.

– Added Tournament winners trophies (Congratulations LDLC!)

– Made WATCH tab default to Live Games.

– Removed sticker store from Tournament tab.

[MAPS]

– Overpass

–Bombsite A plant trigger has been extended

–Added visual hints to the usable bombplant zones

–Removed A pit stairs, replaced with jump

–Fixed some overpowered boosts

– Nuke

–Changed floor material in ramp room and Bombsite B.

–Fixed a sound bug where only footsteps could be heard through the wall between A site and ramp room.

– Operation Vanguard

– Season, Facade and Backalley updated with bugfixes.

[MISC]

– Marked mat_texture_list as a cheat convar.

– The extendfreeze command is no longer allowed in competitive mode.

– sv_kick_players_with_cooldown 2 on community servers no longer affects new players during Skill Group calibration phase.

– Added a fun-fact for last second bomb defusals.

What should they have done? Should they have made an official statement on hltv/twitter bout the boost and how you do it? And we didnt know the ldlc's boost either, neither deserves hate.

Wow, youre clearly stupid. THIS is the video that fnatic asked to be taken down(aka private). Thats why it didnt get any views. It merely had 700 views before it was made private. 700 out of 300.000 people knew. Thats a 0.002 percentage of all csgo players. Now try telling me again that everybody knew about this. Its not fucking valves fault if retards like fnatic hide this bug from public and dont report it to valve. Valve specifically asked pros for feedback on these maps. Fnatic screwed up PERIOD.

2014-12-05 19:00

it's just a fucking boost!!! i don't get all the hype around this topic, fnatic found a boost, and over used it , ok. it might have been 'morally' wrong, but they played smart they made the epic comeback. i can't understand all the hate... i'm not even a fanboy, i just don't see anyone crying about another boost when there are tons of boosts like that on the game and everybody fancy to use them as much as possible. Can't help wondering what community reaction would be if NiP did that or LDLC (Which they kinda did with SmithzZ) just no logic whatsoever imo

2014-12-05 19:58

How do you expect valve to not allow the boost or map when they don't know about the bug? Use your fuckingg brain. Fnatic were in the wrong and there's no denying it.

2014-12-05 14:11

1 reply

And you expect valve would removed it before dhw? Hardly think so. They remove it because of the shit storm it coused.

2014-12-05 15:06

they shouldve told valve like a beta tester is supposed to do. not keep a bug in the map for their own advantage

2014-12-05 22:39

this comment makes no sense in my head :X

This event really hurt csgo as a competitive game in general. Stuff like this is why valve is still far away from making csgo into an amazing competitive game. Forcing tournaments to user their proven to be poorly designd maps not ready for play and adding a weapon that didn't need to be in the game cz when pistols where already very good. I am doutful that csgo will ever meet the potential of being seen as a top competitive.I just feel it might have already peaked and is on a downward trend. They need to step back and let the players and organizations to set the standards as they obviously have no clue what is needed.
