In addition to a 50%-off sale on Operation Bravo passes for this weekend, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive just received a new update, the primary new feature of which is a new “WATCH” menu that provides immediate spectator access to live CS:GO games via GOTV.
The new WATCH menu allows players to easily find and view live, in-progress matches being played by top CS:GO players, as a means of entertainment as well as a means of learning tactics. It also allows players to download and watch their own recent matches, as a means of re-living proud moments and learning from past mistakes.
A small handful of minor changes were also included in the update, alongside numerous balance tweaks to weapons such as the M4A1-S, the Glock, FAMAS, and several others. Grenades will now bounce off player hitboxes instead of the overall player bounding volume, bomb-planting animations have been improved, some minor UI bug fixes changes have been made to improve icon visibility, some bug fixes have been made to cs_siege and de_ruins, and a small assortment of other changes were included which you can read about on the official Counter-Strike blog or in greater detail over on Cyborgmatt’s content analysis.
