The CSGO community is abuzz with excitement as the highly anticipated CS2 inches closer to its release. Along with today's patch notes, we received great news from Valve. Italy is being added to the deathmatch and casual game modes in the beta tests for Counter-Strike 2!
Many fans have long awaited the return of Italy to the map pool. This reimagined battleground seamlessly melds nostalgia with modern gameplay mechanics. The remastered version is already receiving positive feedback after the first demonstrations.
