As a seasoned Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player with countless hours under my belt, I’ve gone through countless patches and updates over the years. Some changes are immediately noticeable, while others can easily be overlooked. Take the recent update to Dust2 for instance. At first glance, the patch notes read as simple modifications to a crate stack outside CT spawn towards bombsite A.

Valve made some minor modifications to certain maps and introduced PGL Major Copenhagen trophies to user profiles in this update, among other changes. Here are the details from the 23/24 July 2024 update: [Expand for more information.]
