Banana on Inferno widened in new CS2 update

A pixel gap at Coffins was removed, several spots on Train and Inferno were simplified for visibility, and new skins were added in the latest update.

Valve has made adjustments to Train and Inferno in its latest update to Counter-Strike 2, simplifying visuals in several common locations and adjusting a few areas to allow for more fluid movement.

The most glaring change is the widening of Banana, which Valve "adjusted to more closely match the size of the CS:GO version."

With the spread and damage of incendiary grenades nerfed in a previous update, CTs will likely have an even harder time contesting for control of one of the map's most important battlegrounds.

The steps on the side of Arch and the pixel gap at Coffin, which allowed for a player on Sandbags to spot the tips of heads coming out of Church, were removed, while the crates to climb onto A Site's Balcony were adjusted for better movement alongside general "player and grenade collision" adjustments.

Many common positions had their backgrounds cleaned up for better visibility, including the view into Pit on A and the areas behind T ramp and the back of B Site.

Train received the same cleanup treatment in areas like Z, Ivy, and upper B, while the overhead roof rail of A Site was shortened "to make it easier to throw utility into site."

Nearly 100 new skins were also added between the new Fever Case, three new map collections, and an update to the Train collection "inspired by the map's new visuals."

The complete patch notes can be found below:

[ WEEKLY CARE PACKAGE ]
- Added three all-new weapon collections to the Weekly Care Package drop list: Ascent, Boreal, and Radiant
- Removed four weapon collections from the Weekly Care Package drop list: Bank, Italy, Lake, and the original Train collection

Cant really compare games that have 150heroes each having 20 different stats, 4+ abilities, billions of possible interactions between said abilities to cs where u just adjust one grenade spread 10cm and it becomes useless While i agree they could update things nore regularly, Mobas are meant to be updated more frequently by nature and lets be honest in most cases the updates in mobas are more easy to do(u change values, reworks are not as regular, updates to maps are usually once a season and an op hero might just be banned) while in cs the problems are more gameplay oriented than just uodating a value and have an impact in every round for every player so not as easy to solve

the cheating problem will likely never be solved. cheats are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence, and whatever anti-cheat solution you develop , AI and hackers will waste valuable time and resources to come up with ways around it. -- W update - good refinements to inferno and train

not to be mean but that is an absolute stupid way of thinking. As a game your main priority should be to do EVERYTHING to combat cheaters. Way before thinking about releasing skins.

but it's very expensive to actually develop and try to implement a functional anti-cheat system that will most likely not work (given the pace at which AI is moving). Even if it did work, it could become absolute in 3 weeks. --meanwhile skins generate more money, actively engage the community, and keep the game fresh, but most importantly, makes money. My inventory is worth abou $4.50 so I'm not a skins guy-- but from an economic demand and corporate perspective, skins and profit is top priority, not combatting cheaters.
