Changes made to the most popular rifles, AK-47, M4A1-S and M4A4, as well as all pistols have been reverted in tonight's update.

What seems to be the most criticized update so far in the history of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is saying a lot in itself, has been reverted almost in full in under a week following the release.

After the huge nerf to the R8 Revolver, the changes that nerfed all styles of shooting with three most popular rifles, AK-47, M4A1-S and M4A4 have just been reverted in full.

After rolling out tonight's update, Valve acknowledged making "a few mistakes causing pain to the CS:GO community", as their game-changing update hadn't brought the desired effect.

In an extensive statement, Valve developers also delve into their thought process behind making the changes and explain that they will try to find another way to balance different styles of shooting.

Below is the full changelog of tonight's update:

[GAMEPLAY]

– Reverted recent changes to pistols and the AK-47, M4A4, and M4A1-S (see the CS:GO blog for details).

[MISC]

– Other players can now hear the sound of the R8 Revolver primary fire hammer just before it fires.

– Smoke clouds from smoke grenades detonated by burning fire will now correctly cover the ground instead of floating above that area.

– Fire grenades that had been only partially extinguished by smoke will no longer deal damage from the flames under smoke grenade (fix for a bug discovered by jasonRRR)

– Flames from fire grenades that are still spreading will no longer spread into the smoke cloud and will instead spread along the edge of the smoke cloud.

– Fixed up-to-360-degree camera flip in Killer Replay.

– Fixed an instance where an offer showed the incorrect price.
