#1 CS:GO update for 4/28/15 (4/29/15 UTC, 1.34.8.2) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

ValveGAMEPLAY
- Fixed a few cases where reserve ammo was shared between multiple weapons. All weapons now individually handle their own reserve ammo.
- sv_autobuyammo now defaults to 0.
- If a player spawns with a smoke grenade in classic competitive, it counts toward their maximum smoke grenade purchases for that round (i.e., they cannot purchase a second smoke grenade).
- Fixed HE grenade particle system drawing improperly sometimes with other particle systems (like smokes volumes).

MISC
- Added 10 new community sticker offers, and a new community sticker capsule featuring work by Enfu.
- Added support for alternative voice communication codecs. While running a server, use +sv_voicecodec vaudio_celt to use the CELT voice codec, instead of the Speex codec which is used by default.
- Added support for Phong on world materials. See Train for examples of such materials.

Rumor has it:

- Images of the new stickers can be found on CS:GO Stash here and over here

- New flavor text got added, TyroPyro dumped them for your convenience: http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/347uvq/counterstrike_global_offensive_update_for_42815/cqs8a4n

- Item schema update: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/d0c3314a0533e44d1094cb7b28c8b13db7474fbb

#9 UGC Plat: Menace To Society vs. The Hateful Eight + Decimate in Events

H8 got decimated by KND, MtS slapped KND, it's only logical that H8 will get decimated by MtS.

Valve[GAMEPLAY]

[MISC]

[MAPS]
Dust2

Rumor has it:

- Workshop links are being gathered in this reddit comment thread for all the new stuff

- Item schema update (only really useful today for images of the case key and the case itself): https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/2c0d8ba93fb2fa387ca61e964503e1b6d3653922

#27 can someone buy tf2lobby? in TF2 General Discussion

Provided Floor_Master doesn't bother renewing the domain again, it's going to be potentially up for sale not long after 1/8/16. However, the WHOIS record for the site was just updated on 1/7/15, so chances are Floor_Master forgot about his autorenew.

Good luck trying to get a hold of him though, he's as good as gone.

#1 CS:GO update for 3/31/15 (4/1/15 UTC, 1.34.7.8) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[OPERATION VANGUARD]
- Operation Vanguard has come to a close.

[MAP GROUPS]
- Train has been added to the Active Duty map pool.
- Nuke has been moved to the Reserve map pool.

[GAMEPLAY]
- Smoke grenades are now more reliably kept track of on the client to prevent mismatches between smoke particle visuals and screen overlay visuals.
- Fixed players being able to double stack inside a smoke to peek out of the top (and be really hard to see from outside the smoke).
- Updated expiration of the smoke screen overlay to match more closely to the visuals of when the third person particles expire and vice versa.
- Updated the vertical position slightly of the smoke particles to reduce seeing though edges of the smoke (particularly at the bottom).
- Fixed spectator sometimes not getting the smoke overlay for the player they are spectating when that alive player is inside smoke.
- Improved spawnpoint selection code to not spawn at occupied spawn points or spawn points of a different team.
- Tagging values have been tweaked slightly to increase tagging on higher mobility weapons, and updated values for tagging on multiple hits to make it more effective (Added a guide to explain how tagging works: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=412879303
- Increased price of the M4A1-Silencer from 3100 to 3200 to align the weapon's price with its utility.
- Increased Tec-9's damage fall-off to reward players that close engagement distance.
- Lowered Tec-9's magazine size to 24 to reward more discriminate firing.
- Lowered scoped movement values for AWP and Autosnipers.
- The accuracy of the MP9, MP7, and Mac-10 have been improved.

[STATRAK]
- Trade up contracts work on StatTrak weapons.
- There is now a StatTrak swap tool available for purchase. It swaps the StatTrak value between two of the same weapon.

[SERVER BROWSER]
- Fixed the server browser showing the map workshop path in the "Map" column.
- Added a sortable column to the server browser to display whether a server is running a map from the workshop or not.
- Added a sortable column to the server broswer that displays icons for popular game mods running on that server.
- Server browser will save the layout changes made between game sessions

[UI]
- Fixed scoreboard hiding at match end when you bring up a player's Steam profile.
- Added a game option in team options section to control whether lobbies get created with public access or private requiring invites for friends.
- Added Flavor Text to the Bank collection.

[MISC]
- Add surround sound support (quad/5.1) on Linux.
- Marked nav commands as a cheat to protect against potential server exploits.
- Chicken kills are now logged in CS event logs on game servers including attacker and weapon information.
- HE grenade detonations are now logged in CS event logs prior to logging player deaths from corresponding HE grenade explosion.
- Added sv_reliableavatardata 2 game server setting for LAN tournaments production. In this mode the game server will load player avatars from corresponding csgo/avatars/76512345678-.rgb files (or csgo/avatars/default.rgb if the corresponding SteamID avatar is missing), and avatars will be recorded in GOTV demos. To produce avatars rgb files tournament operators can place 64x64 png player avatars as csgo/avatars/76512345678-.png and run the client-side command cl_avatar_convert_rgb to convert all 64x64 png files into rgb format.
- Optimized the process of logging in players to matchmaking backend during game updates.

[MAPS]
Dust2

Cobblestone

- Removed corner on left side of T tunnel into Bombsite B
- Haystack near Long A now requires a jump to get on top

Train (Thanks c0tton and adreN!)
- Various optimizations
- Removed collision at top of ladders
- Pushed Bombsite A further back towards CT side
- Added a third train car to A site to reduce amount of long sightlines
- Added a peek-position inside T main
- Opened up area on the left side of T main exit
- Moved dumpsters in Ivy
- Raised crane in Bombsite A
- Blocked extremely tight angle from lower CT ramp towards T ramp in Bombsite B
- Prioritized CT spawn positions

Cache

- Added a decal indicating the boundaries of the A bombsite's plantzone
- Made white tarps on crates more spammable (Thanks Mod645!)
- Fixed shadows casting into A main shed from boost spot
- Improved readability from middle to A site container
