CS:GO just got a whole lot spookier! For a limited time players can fright their way through a midnight makeover of Cobblestone. Along with Cobblestone’s haunting new look, players can torment their enemies from the grave as a ghost in Casual, Demolition, and Flying Scoutsman game modes. Spray graffiti, meet up with other undead, or just mess around with some breakable objects using a spectral ghost knife – it all makes for a scary good time! And don’t forget about the chickens – they’ve also dressed for the occasion… Happy Halloween! View the full article

Today’s update includes an adjustment to the Active Duty map pool as well as some weapon adjustments. For starters, we’re making changes to the Active Duty map pool, which will determine which maps get played at the 2023 Paris Major. Anubis is being added to Active Duty and and Dust II is being removed. But both maps are still available in Casual, Deathmatch, and Competitive modes. We’re also making some adjustments to weapons. The AWP has had its magazine size reduced to five bullets (so make them count!), and the M4A1-S now does less damage at long ranges. Try the changes out and let us know what you think! And thanks for the blog post title, Ryan (@Schaffurr)! …

Competitive Skill Groups are undergoing some recalibration. Typically when we ship changes to CS:GO’s matchmaking system, the adjustments are small enough that we don’t include them in our release notes. However, today’s update affects all CS:GO players so it requires some explanation. When you launch CS:GO, you’ll notice that your Skill Group is not displayed–you’ll have to win one more match to reveal your Skill Group. Most of you will notice a change to your Skill Group, but some of you may find that you were already in the right place. So jump into a match, or two, or however many it takes for your next win! Also, for those of you still interested, it’s the last …
