Ever since Valve came out with its rework for the map, De_Dust 2, the community has been asking for similar changes to the other maps as well. And now, after all this time, it seems the community’s call has been heard. The developers have just rolled out another update for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), bringing in a ton of changes for two of the game’s maps.

Today’s Release Notes are up. Updates to Nuke, Canals, and shotgun spread patterns among other things. Full info here: https://t.co/OVYQC2zjSJ — CS:GO (@csgo_dev) February 9, 2018

According to the official post by the developers, the all-new update for CS:GO is bringing numerous changes in the game. This, not only includes changes to Nuke and Canals, but also some interesting gameplay changes. For instance, Valve has finally enabled its shotgun spread patterns on the official matchmaking servers. If you wish to learn more about this, navigate to the official blog post.

Furthermore, the developers are adding in a few server-side and IP-related changes which will boost in-game network performances. These new changes will help prevent DoS attacks.

However, these were just the minor changes of the update. The core element of this new update is the release of the brand new Nuke and Canals changes.
