New Dust2

Dust2 is playable, along with extra screenshots comparing the old to the new. Not only does the map have a new look, but the players do too with all new character models.

Following the announcement that Dust2 would be coming back to the beta depot, the update has been pushed live and those who opt in can now test it themselves.

On the 13th of March, 2001, a pretty big update was launched to Counter-Strike. The version we're talking about is 1.1, which included a whole lot of exciting changes that would come to be significant for the legendary FPS game.

<div class="defaultSection postContentSection sectionWithoutTitle"><div class="sectionContent">								<div class="content">On the 13th of March, 2001, a pretty big update was launched to Counter-Strike. The version we're talking about is 1.1, which included a whole lot of exciting changes that would come to be significant for the legendary FPS game.<br />  <br />  Looking back at the patch notes, the biggest headlines are the maps that were added; Dust2 and Inferno. The two maps, which were released together with the so-and-so map Vertigo as well as Rotterdam and Thunder, have been synonymous with Counter-Strike ever since. <br />  <br />  Since its release, Dust2 has only become more popular and recognizable. Not only has it been a part of all tournaments ever played (basically), it has even expanded to games outside of the Counter-Strike realm. Inferno isn't far behind on the legend status, as it's been the battlefield for some of the most memorable matches in Counter-Strike history. As a matter of fact, Inferno has slightly surpassed Dust2 since Global Offensive was released, as it has given us more nail-biting grand finals — especially in Valve Majors — than any other map in the game.<br />  <br />  <h2>Inferno had a makeover — and Dust2 is next</h2>Surely no one has missed the "recent" news about Dust2 being removed from the official competitive map pool, with the purpose of putting the map in the workshop for a revamp. The same thing happened to Inferno, as it was gone from international top tier tournaments for almost a year while it was getting a face lift. Inferno was reintroduced in February 2017.<br />  <br />  <figure><div class="videoWrapper videoWrapperFragtv"><div class="fragTvEmbed">
		<div class="fragTvEmbedVideo">
				<script async defer type='text/javascript' src='//formats.youplay.se/load.js' class='yp' data-config='{"player":"sp","time":0,"zone_id":"536","part_id":"119467","addons":"000"}'></script>
			</div>
	</div></div><figcaption>Professional players give their opinion on how Dust2 should be changed.</figcaption></figure><br />  <br />  <h2>But wait, there's more!</h2>Not only did the 1.1 update offer new maps to the players, but also a couple of things we take for granted today. For example, the spectator mode was introduced in the very same patch. This is the very same feature being used by observers in tournament productions to this very day. <br />  <br />  You know what else? The AWP legshot. Prior to version 1.1, a shot in the leg with the mighty green sniper was enough to kill any opponent, even at full health. The developers thought the weapon was a tad overpowered and decided it was only fair to have opponents (barely) survive a bullet to the knee.<br />  <br />  If you're curious, the changelog from the 16 year old patch is available for observation <a href="http://counterstrike.wikia.com/wiki/Counter-Strike_patches" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
