Overpass added to CS2 along with Vertigo in a recent update

Overpass has now been added to CS2, this marks the first “overhaul” map that Valve intended to implement into CS2. This means that Overpass fell into the category of map that was going to undergo the heaviest changes, to give the map a proper new lease on life.

Overpass was recently hinted at by the team running the CS2 Twitter account, as the banner was changed to a dragon, resembling the graffiti found on the map Overpass.

We didn’t just get Overpass this update either, no, we also got a new and improved Vertigo added to the fray of playable maps in the CS2 limited test. However, Vertigo is only playable in Deathmatch and Casual game modes, whereas Overpass is also playable in Wingman.

Sadly, for this to happen we had to say goodbye to two maps, Nuke and Office. This possibly means that Valve is happy with the state they are in, and wish to focus on testing the maps recently added.

A new update brings the Wingman game mode to CS2

There was an update posted on the CS:GO Steam page regarding the most recent changes to CS2, detailed in patch Notes for 7/17/2023, which is the fact that Wingman now exists as a game mode within CS2.

For the uninitiated, Wingman is essentially 2v2 CS that takes place on smaller versions of maps, usually with only one bomb site. This helps make engagements tighter and works well with the smaller 2v2 format.

Now, you have nothing stopping you from playing Wingman in CS2 and experiencing the game mode in all the fidelity improvements that CS2 brings.
