Cool stuff. Pretty happy with it, overall. And it was a big patch, as I expected. Tec-9 nerf might be strong enough? New tagging sounds good, map changes are cool and I like the idea of a revamped Nuke in the future.

Revamped Nuke will fuck my mind.

I am so glad that they listen to the community. I was watching the adren video about train and thinking with the blizzard mindset "they won't ever change anything from this video". I will definitely play train to get a feel for it. I hope for good games.

Is there an issue with the AWP's new movement? I just tested it and it seems that you accelerate faster now if you walk compared to when you run? Can anyone confirm? Am I just going crazy or did they really screw up like that?

it feels so wierd. when you hold shift, you can slide a corner quicker? and the normal speed is slower than the old crouch speed? Im expecting a revert of the awp change (I don't like it at all). aggressive awping is going to be extremely hard to execute and teams that rely on this (Titan especially) are fucked

Tagging is pretty good now.

Another thing, if they make the m4a1-s $3200, then they should at least make the difuse kit $200 to compensate (though my preferred option is to merge the m4a1-s and the m4a4 together)

Yeah that's what it feels like to me as well. Not a fan either, at all.

the skybox being removed on dust2 opens up the a site a lot. I got a bunch of new smokes that I can take advantage of (smoke xbox from long, smoke cat from long. smoke site,goose,drop from mid). Going to be abusing these

edit: after having played a couple of 10mans with the new update, the awp change is pure bullshit. No one had any complaints about it. I hope to see it reverted soon.

These awp changes are atrocious. Now you are basically a turret. Only one awp playstyle allowed!

This better be an April Fool's joke.

Who cares about +100$ on M4? Totally useless change.
And Tec9 hasn't been nerfed AT ALL. 12 bullets less, wow, massive ... -.-

Wow that's a big patch holy shit.

I'll still consider Tec9 as dangerous as rifle buy rounds

And not sure about the smokes... Who does it help? I hope T, but I completely fail to determine this without trying it out.

pretty disappointing update honestly. when i read about all the changes to smokes i got excited for a bit but when i tried some of the one-way-smokes that i knew, majority of them still worked. the greyscreen also still lasts too long when coming out of smokes.

the awp nerf is absolutely moronic and it really came out of nowhere, i honestly expected the awp to maybe get a slight buff if anything but i guess valve still feels there are too many silvers who can't deal with awp's on enemy side. nobody in the pro scene has complained to valve that AWP is too strong, that i am sure of. it feels like valve wants awp to only be good for boring passive angle holding whereas i love the way players like JW and s1mple utilize the gun and find it hugely entertaining to both watch and play myself.

mp9 and mp7 seem potentially too strong but i don't have seen enough of them in use yet to have a confident opinion on this.

tec9 and m4a1 nerfs are both stupid, valve should stop messing with things like ammo counts, kill rewards and buy prices when it comes to balancing weapons. it's just a lazy way to go about it.

the map changes are all good so there's some positives to this. also increased tagging on pistol users is welcome, though i think valve should have reworked the tagging system more heavily than they did with this update.

tec9 feels like doing zero damage on longer range. It got nerfed way behind the less ammo nerf.

Patch feels wired.

well you shouldnt be able to kill people from long range with ease unless you have a deagle so the range nerf was a good nerf. But the tec9's problems with the spammability and moving accuracy wasn't touched yet which is the main problem of the tec9.
