New Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Patch

Counter Strike: Global Offensive just released their latest patch today that is ushering in a small few changes to thew maps, mainly Mirage to be honest. The biggest one that caught my eye was an AWP wallbang spot from palace to scaffolding on A site in Mirage and a new bench in mid allowing jump up to jump up to the window boost spot. Fine additions if you ask me, it will definitely help change up a few plays now. For a full list of the patch notes you can check it out here, or I have posted them down below.

Counter Strike has been free to play for a while now on Steam but I do recommend if you are going to play it, just upgrade your account to Prime by paying about 20 bux, without Prime there seems to be a load of hackers just running around ruining the game because it’s free.
