If you’re a CSGO fan, get ready for some of the biggest changes the game has seen in years.
As part of the Operation Riptide additions, Valve is including a new mode for matchmaking. Games traditionally are decided by the first to 16 rounds method, also known as max rounds 15 (which just means each half has a maximum of 15 rounds).
The new mode halves that to eight rounds, with teams only required to win nine rounds to win the match. “With short matches, you’ll get the competitive 5v5 experience compressed into a best of 16 rounds match, which lasts about 25 minutes,” Valve says.
It’s not the only massive change as part of Riptide, which will remain active until February 23 Australian time next year. Players will now be able to drop grenades to others “in most game modes.” New options have been added for people seeking Deathmatch games, with Team Deathmatch, free-for-all and the standard Counter-Strike mode now broken out.
