Valve has launched Premier Season Two in Counter-Strike 2, introducing a fresh batch of gameplay adjustments.
The most notable changes include a price reduction for the M4A4, bringing it in line with the M4A1-S, and a buff to the FAMAS, which is now cheaper and more accurate. Meanwhile, three SMGs—the MP9, MP7, and MP5-SD—have been nerfed, with reduced crouching accuracy to limit their effectiveness in certain situations.
Additionally, Valve has also introduced a new dynamic radar zoom option, improving players’ map awareness and decided to remove a boost spot on Train.
