Valve has released the latest update to their popular first-person shooter, Counter-Strike. Operation: Broken Fang brings new challenges, rework, maps, an Operation stats page, and more.
“New challenges await with the all new Retakes and the exclusive Broken Fang Premier. Play new maps in a variety of game modes and see how you stack up on the Operation Stats page. Complete weekly missions and choose from a variety of rewards, including new agents, weapon collections, stickers, patches and graffiti, ”the official post from Valve read.
A new map titled Ancient has been released for defusing. The map looks like Aztec in its aesthetic but definitely not in its design as the new map brings a whole new look in terms of strategy. In addition to the new competitive map, five other community maps have been added.
Players can now provide pings and chat commands via a fully customizable in-game chat wheel. A system that many modern games have added has finally made its way to the veteran title and should be welcomed with open arms.
Another important addition to the game is the ability to view statistics for your accounts in the game itself. “With your operating pass, you will have access to detailed statistics of various categories. Your statistics are tracked automatically and can be viewed on the Operation Statistics page. “
Valve also added covers to their own servers allowing three Ts to defend a planted bomb while four TCs attempt to resume. “Pick a loading card at the start of each turn and recapture (or defend) the bomb site. The first to 8 laps wins! “
Players will also be able to pick up new agents, skins, stickers and more, which you can find in our articles with images here:
