The creepy event in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive lets you haunt the maps as ghosts. In addition, the Map Cobblestone has been adapted for the event.

The multiplayer shooter CS GO Tournaments haunts the spirits of deceased players on Halloween. In a 150MB patch Valve delivers the appropriate data to give players this and other creepy features.

The Spook feature comes in Casual, Demolition and Flying Scoutsman modes. There the ghostly players have an extended form of the Spectator camera until the end of the round.

They move across the map as a veil, but can only be seen by spectators and other ghosts. But they can interact with certain objects of the game world, such as the special pumpkin footballs, and thus create the impression of a haunt for still living players.

Moreover, ghosts, that’s fine, can turn chickens into zombie chickens! And such poultry, even dressed in white sheets, can be found at the event in any non-competitive game. Ghosts can also occupy bots and continue playing with them when they are tired of being ghosts.

Event changes to Map Cobblestone

The CS GO Online Tournaments updates makes some minor fixes to the game environments. The Map Cobblestone (also known as Cbble) gets some “super creepy changes” to provide a suitable location for the Halloween event.

Thus, some changes remain purely cosmetic, while others may have a noticeable effect on the gameplay. For example, Valve on Cobblestone removed the connector between A Lang and the passage, reduced the height of the passage doors and added a window. In addition, bomb site A was moved closer to the ramp and some climbable coffins were added to the dropdown room, allowing it to be overcome from below.

Of course, the question remains: Are the gameplay changes to Cobblestone already the planned revisions for the remake? The card was finally taken out of eSport traffic in 2018 to return in a more playable and modern version. Valve did not officially comment on this, but we would suspect so.
