Wow. I'm usually extremely critical of valve but I think they've done a great job with this update. Nerfing cz75 into obsolescence is the best thing to do - its a boring brain dead gun that never belonged. Changes to the m4a1 price makes a lot of sense. And the train map update is really exciting. Its sad to see heaven go but I think that it might end up being more fun than the 1.6 version.
One thing to notice is how much valve has changed their map making strategy since they released inferno. If you play inferno compared to the 1.6 version its extraordinarily cramped. Like it feels claustrophobic to send your team down banana because you're rubbing shoulders as you try to squeeze through. Similarly, the areas around mid and CT arch are much more narrow and squeezed together, giving you minimal space to maneuver.
After a brief runthrough of the new train, I was definitely struck by how much open space Valve has left in the map. Some spots are even more open than they were in 1.6 (A train yard definitely comes to mind as an example of this). This helps to negate the crazy advantage that awps had on train and should make rifle play more fun and rewarding. Also notice that valve is using a lot more lighter textures so CTs and easier to see for terrorists.
Overall I'm really happy with the update. Im glad that valve is making positive changes to the game. Now just add 128 ticks, fix movement and hitboxes, and we're golden!!

I microwave steaks.
My m4a asiimov has been progressively going up, glad I got it when it was on the decline.
also glad to hear train is back, i've always enjoyed that map. Excited to see the new changes.
Interesting changes to the CZ, we'll see if it still proves to be viable.
where the fuck have you been
Best part of train remake http://i.imgur.com/Mewkdec.jpg
I still think we might get a Team MM optiin next year. And fixed hitboxed. I don't think they'll change the movement a lot anymore.
What am I supposed to see here?

I think we all saw the CZ nerf coming. However, the M4A1 price increase not so much. I'll still prefer to use it over the M4A4.

m4a4 so much better
I'm really considering going back to the A4 for the extra bullets and spray potential. If anything, Valve made CT sides a bit more expensive now.
lol fuck
this is amazing
I want to try this before it gets patched LOL
Recoil should be the same, it's just not every AWPers quick back up and shoots less bullets slower.

The biggest thing I still 600 hours later need to adjust to was staying still while shooting and compensating for recoil.
Yeah, I was watching Frankie something something on YT and he was showing the recoil and how to practice compensating for it.
I guess my main concern would be, is there good matchmaking or something similar to it and new players joining in? Dont want to go in and get stumped until I get up to speed.

There is but sometimes smurfs make it hard to get a fair match.

So what are these gifts that valve is trying to get me to buy?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Didn't they already have them last year. You can buy them and "drop" them in a match and random people on the server will get a skin.
Dust is pretty huge as well. I'd say train has just the right amount of detail. It's pretty simple at player levels and gets more detailes above that

So if I bought the 25 pack and used an alt account to view my match would my alt get all 25 items 
?
? The answer has to be no. I'll need 25 alts
