New Counter Strike Global Offensive update
The small update fixes an issue from the last patch in the game. The update mentions that grenades can no longer apply impact damage more than once. The update size is also rather small, coming in at just 5 MB.
The bug caused players to take massive damage when in contact with a grenade. The grenade would bounce around 10-15 times, delivering serious damage. This had raised major concerns in gameplay.
Since the last CS update from 2 days ago there is bug with nades when bouncing against player models, when a smoke bounces against your legs it sometimes bounces 15-20 times within a second causing you to take 15 to 20 damage.@CSGO pic.twitter.com/D9LCwBXn5I

Valve was quick to react to the problem, and fixing the issue would be a significant relief to their fan base. It is quite nice to see the developers responding well to their players’ concerns.
Fans react
While players are happy about the bug being fixed, several others are still expecting Valve to release the Source 2 port. Source 2 is scheduled to release soon, although there were no updates. Fans made many comments over Twitter addressing both issues. Read some of the tweets below.
If the next update isn’t source 2 we will riot.

With Valorant getting released today, Counter Strike will face major competition. Bringing in a smooth update can keep fans loyal to the game while also tweaking up the gameplay. There is no idea about what Valve will bring to the table, but given their history, we can keep our expectations sky-high.
