New update changes the UMP45

24-5-2017 08:45

A new update to CS:GO has been released, making changes to the UMP45 and introducing a a new operation.

Today's CS:GO update has nerfed the UMP45, something that many had expected as the submachine gun had become one of the most used weapons in the game.The UMP45's damage on range has been reduced to make it more in line with the other SMGs.

The update also introduces a new operation, called "Hydra", featuring new game modes, which will change every week, and a new operation skin case.

One of the new skins in Operation Hydra Case

"War games" includes several modes, among them a low-gravity sniping and team deathmatch. Wingman takes 2v2 to a next level as you can play competitively 2v2 on a single bombsite.The last mode is Weapons expert, which will force players to be versatile as the same weapon cannot be bought twice in this 5v5 match.

Below you can find the full patch notes:

[OPERATION HYDRA]

Operation Hydra Events – unique game modes that are available for a week at a time:
WAR GAMES: a set of twists on classic gameplay, including a special heavy armor, low-gravity sniping, team deathmatch, and more.
WINGMAN: 2v2 competitive match on single-bombsite maps, a quick best-of-16 rounds, and a special Wingman skill group.
WEAPONS EXPERT: Once you buy a weapon, you can’t buy it again for the rest of the match. 5v5 best-of-30 match with a special Weapons Expert skill group.
Four new and three returning community-created maps, featured in weekly Hydra Events and available in regular matchmaking for casual and competitive play.
Austria, Shipped, Lite, Thrill, Agency, Insertion, Black Gold.
Operation Hydra All Access Pass ($5.99) includes:
Guardian Mission campaign, with 30 missions that can be completed (and replayed) at your own pace.
Access to Operation weapon drops and the new Operation Hydra Case.
Operation Hydra Challenge Coin upgradable to the new Diamond level.
Operation Hydra Journal that tracks your stats and provides friends leaderboards.

[SOUND]

Increased fidelity of 3rd person weapon sounds when HRTF is enabled.
Made minor mix adjustments.

[GAMEPLAY]

Reduced the UMP45 damage at range to bring the weapon more in line with the SMG category (rangemodifier reduced from .85 to .75).
Players no longer respawn when upgrading to a bonus weapon in Deathmatch.
Added support for hostage maps in Demolition (for local/community servers.)
Improved radar spotting when mp_teammates_are_enemies is enabled.
Made Zeus show in pistol holster for players with a Zeus and no pistol.
Fixed bullets not penetrating “teammates” when mp_teammates_are_enemies is enabled. (Thanks ALH-R!)

[SERVER OPERATORS]

Changed sv_disable_motd: default changed to 1.
Changed convar mp_free_armor settings: 0 = none, 1 = kevlar, 2 = kevlar + helmet.

[MAPS]

Tweaked layouts of the following maps to better fit War Games and Wingman: Safehouse, StMarc, Lake, and Bank.

Moved CT spawn forward.
Added a bench at A for easier T access.
Fixed clip brushes poking through top flight of tunnel stairs.
Added clips to some lamp posts where player could get stuck.

this is the correct way to do it, you imbecile. nerf it a little bit, review feednack and data, and then nerf it further if necessary. wrong way would be to make it a pile of steaming shit so that no one would ever use it ever again, and then try to buff it.

LOL fucking newfag gtfo with ur bullshit. ive been playing this game since it came out and u wanna join the discussion? see im calling u a newfag bcs u just dont seem to understand how valve operates. do u see how many months it took them to fucking do anything at all? pistols they still havent done jack shit. this isnt a slight nerf, then theyll evaluate in 2-3 weeks and make adjustments. this is one slight nerf and then most likely nothing for another 6 months. and nobody is speaking of nerfing it into a steaming pile of shit u dumbfuck. it doesnt take a genius to find the right balance.

2017-05-24 13:05

36 replies

"doesn't take a genious to find the right balance" and what the fuck does a retard like you know about that? the UMP has been the same for a really long time and yet it has only in recent years become so favoured. even after the rifle buffs. why? because meta changes. changing a gun drastically can have major impact on the game and only a fucking shit-for-brains like you think that it shouldn't be done with careful consideration. leave the important decisions to the not mentally handicapped and go back to your moms basement, you slow-witted fucking child

"leave the important decisions to the not mentally handicapped " and thats the dev team? rofl... they are so not mentally handicapped that they fucked up the whole round loss bonus system in an update that didnt even have to do anything with economy.

are you pretending to know the inner workings of the source engine and code base now? LMAO! and you're simultaneously saying that the dev team is too incompetent to get changes right while also saying they should make MORE changes... holy fucking shit, you're dumb as a door knob!

2017-05-24 15:28

3 replies

LOL at this point ur surely just trolling. im saying they should make more changes. most people from the pro scene or that follow the pro scene agree with that. im also sayin they should playtest their crap before releasing it so that we dont have gamebreaking bugs after every other update.

2017-05-24 15:38

Hehe u got rekt hard man

2017-05-24 15:46

wow, i agree. this idiot sucking off the dev team after they throw us a little bone in slightly, very slightly nerfing one of the pleny of weapons that deserve to be nerfed totally rekt me.

2017-05-24 17:07

Daaaaaamn, you schooled that moron.

well i can list u a few things if u want about 1) things volvo changed that wasnt wanted or appreciated by the community 2) things volvo doesnt change even though it would be easy to do and wanted/appreciated by the community 3) changes volvo have made that were bugged bcs devs either didnt playtest their update or have absolutely no idea what the fuck theyre doing.

2017-05-25 09:54

13 replies

Who cares if the community wanted/appreciate it? thats not how you make decisions for a competitive game or sport.

2017-05-25 09:56

i said "the community" bcs i feared that had i said "the pro scene" instead u woulda told me to fuck off bcs the game wasnt made for pro play only. either way, the community includes pro players and large parts of the community that are vocal about their opinions do in fact follow the pro scene and base their opinions on pro play.

2017-05-25 10:19

11 replies

I assumed u meant pro players as well. If you make changes only if the community (including pros) ask for it or like it, then your game will struggle and probably fail.

2017-05-25 10:27

10 replies

sure, pros and random plebs dont really have the numbers to look at that valve has, and one would assume that the dev team has some sort of expertise. but they dont really and in any case, nobody is asking for the community to dictate the game development entirely. but valve arent really willing to compromise. thats been confirmed many times by ppl that have actually met the devs.

2017-05-25 10:34

That might be true, but so far from the devs point of view, they are winning. No one else has made a successful fps esport on the csgo level.

2017-05-25 10:43

8 replies

and yet they could make it so much more successful if they would only handle a few things differently.

2017-05-25 10:57

Difficult to say anything when they know so much more about whats going on than we do. It sounds so simply to say fix the hit reg or any animation bugs, but they have a wide view of whats happening and we do not.

2017-05-25 11:27

6 replies

that is such a lame thing to say tho. i mean u cant honestly tell me that they couldnt massively improve the game and make it more successful by stuff like better cheat protection, 128 tick servers, a community manager who actively adresses problems publicly so ppl know whats going on etc.

2017-05-25 11:37

5 replies

128 tick servers is too expensive and they are never going to do it, just doesn't make sense for them. They have been working a lot on their anti cheat, not only are they bringing in machine learning to their anti cheat but this is the probably the cleanest csgp has been since release. Community manager is something they don't feel they need, and so far they have not been proven wrong.

2017-05-25 11:47

too expensive? u can play on faceit for free on 128 tick. they make millions and millions from the game especially skins. their anticheat is a joke, every other mm game theres a hacker and esea/faceit/esl anticheat are miles and miles ahead. cmon u cant defend this. they have been proven wrong plenty of times on the community manager thing. everyone is constantly crying about how u cant comm with volvo and how they dont adress any issues ever.

2017-05-25 14:48

Faceit use adverts. I play MM all the time, I have not seen a cheater in months. Why would valve care about comms with the community? Hardly a big thing for them.

2017-05-25 15:09

still, cant be that expensive then. i have. were not talking about why would valve care. were talking about how they could in theory make a better product.

2017-05-25 18:33

Messages are getting hard to read.

2017-05-25 18:55

Hate to break it to you, but Hidden Path changes CSGO, not Valve.

2017-05-24 18:30

do u think i give a fuck or that this adds anything to the discussion? if so, im afraid ur wrong.

2017-05-24 18:32

It does though, it adds to the fact that you simply have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You've argued yourself into a corner, you moron. Give it up while you still have some dignity left. Or don't, I don't really give a fuck either way. Good luck in life with your peanut brain.

2017-05-24 18:39

its like were talking about a TV show which i said runs on channel three. then u dismiss everything i said about the content of the show saying "it runs on channel 2, u dont know anything!!!" like thats entirely beside the point.

2017-05-25 00:44

He actually has. You keep sucking up to valve but you fail to recognize it's a goddamn mess. Valve's policy to let devs decide in which project they work on has a huge effect on CSGO. Ofc devs will prefer to work on Dota since it has so much more potential to improve. CSGO on the other hand can be perfect with some gameplay adjustments leaving no room for creativity. Beffore you contradict me, the things I said comes from an acquaintance of our family, a Valve employee who is in direct contact with the devs. CSGO is just a game for milking money until it dies.

2017-05-25 10:14

"We're not involved in any of the patches that have updated CS:GO since its launch in August 2012. Valve took over the development and updating of the game after launch and are the ones deciding what to update and change. We aren't currently involved with updating the game." Gotta break it to you, and I absolutely love it. Source: hiddenpath.com/game/counter-strike-globa..

2017-05-25 00:42

You're acting like you're going to get some rise out of me by saying you "absolutely love it", which is pretty pathetic. I really don't care who develops it, I'm still going to play it. Take your need to argue somewhere else please lmao.

2017-05-30 03:16

Just imitating your way of conversating

2017-05-30 18:41

pretty much it

2017-05-24 09:24

i dont think just reducing damage dropoff is enough of a nerf for the ump, its still the best smg in the game and can still compete against rifles on short range because 85 headshot damage but i guess its a good thing valve didnt attend the blizzard school of nerfing things.

2017-05-24 09:01

Should've done something about its armour pen too.

2017-05-24 09:02

^This

2017-05-24 09:19

they hopefully will in a few weeks, just taking it slow

2017-05-24 10:17

Slow in valve time = see you in 6 months before we do anything

2017-05-24 11:45

better than nerfing it into the ground so no one uses it and not looking at it again, ever.

2017-05-24 11:48

the problem is that u seem to be implying that its somehow hard to find a good balance or a middle ground between not nerfing it and nerfing it into the ground. and it simply isnt.

2017-05-24 12:48

its somehow really hard for some developers. probably because they dont actually play the game.

2017-05-24 14:16

You seem to forget what they did to CZ and R8.

2017-05-24 18:00

nobody ever gave a fuck about the r8 apart from the part where it was totally OP and every fool was ruining MM with it. the CZ i havent forgotten about. everyone called for a nerf, then they made a huge nerf to the point where it was barely useable anymore before eventually reverting it back to a somewhat "ok" state. the CZ thing is beside the point. im not calling for a huge nerf on the UMP where it has as much armor pen as the bizon and costs 2k with 100$ kill reward. im calling for a more severe nerf than what theyve done here though. increase the price a little (maybe 1400?), reduce armor pen a little, not too much though. something like that.

2017-05-24 18:12

When they don't notice a significant dip in how much it's used they might (I hope).

2017-05-24 18:06

the problem is they dont look at pro games or not enuff anyway. they seem to look at mm numbers and since the ump is fairly hard to control properly for an mm scrub, that doesnt do much. whereas all the pros can continue to shrekt with it.

2017-05-24 18:37

You're not wrong sadly...

2017-05-24 19:04

what do you call blizzard way ? Overnerfing/buffing ? Seems to work pretty fine on overwatch since it is now in a very balanced state. And revolver, neverforgett

2017-05-24 13:25

you gotta have played sc2 to get this. youtube.com/watch?v=p8VKon9F-zM

2017-05-24 14:18

ahhh sorry i don't play sc2 :)

2017-05-24 17:06

Update looks sick, glad they nerfed the UMP slightly and sv_disable_motd 1 as default... Yeah, go fuck yourself servers that make you have it on. That's the death of intrusive motd right there :D

If that's the nerf it's retarded

RIp ump , time to use famas gali then

2017-05-24 09:11

"low gravity sniping" that sounds sick

2017-05-24 09:14

so i need to buy the 6E pass to be able to play "wingman" etc. right?

2017-05-24 09:15

no wingman gonna be in the rotation with the war thingy so next week its wingman and i assume u can play it even without the pass

2017-05-24 09:31

ok, how? i can't find any of the new modes in competetives

2017-05-24 09:57

i think it gonna be available next week i read it somewhere they change it weekly so u might have to wait

2017-05-24 11:41

What Valve did with ScoutzKnivez they should do with all gamemodes that have existed throughout every iteration of CS. Officially support Zombie, Surf, KZ, and BHOP. plzplzplz

2017-05-24 11:05

Normal those who do not have the pass

2017-05-24 11:07

You will only get shit drops if you dont have the pass

2017-05-24 11:15

Unfortunately, when they nerfed m4a1s , It was so fucking useless and you had to learn again and play hundreads of hours to again play good witch m4a1s. Now when it comes to this fckin ump, which is being played every match, they just changed fckin range. Fuck Volvo you fcked my m4a1s I'll never forget you for it, fckin dickheads.

2017-05-24 11:22

Hundreds of hours. Lmao. You mean 10 minutes?

It is a very good nerf, makes a huge difference.

no.. i played with it and its the same running hs extreme accuracy standing still

2017-05-24 19:19

Yea but it's crap at range which makes it far worse than before and makes it how it should be.

2017-05-24 20:48

Crap at range? Did u play with it?

2017-05-24 20:58

Yes.

2017-05-24 22:15

Nerf is nerf.

think the nerf should have been a little more extensive than just an effective range modifier on the ump. possibly a slight increase in price. pistols still also need moving accuracy changes. though i know valve read reddit etc they just dont care about a majority of things that make the game worse. being insta headshot by a guy running round a corner with a tec while you hold a rifle +full armor and cant respond in time because of peekers advantage is NOT fun volvo pls.
