Patch

Inferno's out of the Active Duty map pool. Gone, just like that. Replaced by a newer, shinier, FPS-draining overhaul of another classic Counter-Strike map, Nuke. I'm not mad that my terrible computer can barely run it. Nope. Not at...

Valve's obligatory post-Major update has finally shipped, and it's a big one--Nuke is being added to the Active Duty map pool while Inferno is unceremoniously moved to the Reserves pool while it receives an aesthetic overhaul. Valve have also launched a...

Have you looked at the queue times for the Operation Wildfire maps recently? It's a sad sight--unless there's a Blitz mission going on, expect to wait anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes for a game on Cruise, Coast, or...
