Rush Hour

Put your foot on the gas and floor it. Welcome to Rush, a new fast-paced 3v3 queued mode for CS2. Experience the push and pull as you advance through a gauntlet of randomly-selected battle arenas, and dominate your opponent to win the match!

Make the most of your limited budget and precious time to clear the objective. Control the tower when you eliminate the enemy team (or time expires) to win the round.

Run the gauntlet of battle arenas to capture the enemy castle and win the match. The battle arenas are randomly selected each time you play, so no two matches are the same.

Keep track of your wins and compete for bragging rights with the Rush friends leaderboard!

Pick, Pick Pick, Pick

We think that if you spend a lot of time developing strategies on a map, you should have a chance to benefit from that investment. So today we're changing the process for getting into a map in Premier--instead of banning down to a single map, teams will vote to pick two maps each. After all four maps are picked, a single map will be randomly selected and the match will begin.

Change You Can See

Today's update also includes several quality of life improvements, starting with blood and bullet impact visiblity. Blood is now much more bloody, and bullet impacts are far more impacty.

But wait, there's more! Crosshairs have gotten a significant upgrade with new shapes and other features, so check out the new Crosshair/Scopes settings and create the custom crosshair of your dreams. Also, Clan Tags are back! Select one of your Steam Groups in your player profile and you'll see your clan tag appear next to your name wherever you play.

Change You Can't See (or Hear)

There are some gameplay adjustments in today's update to add a bit of stealth to your game-time decisions. Reloading can now be performed silently (by holding the reload key), but with a cost--silent reloads take quite a bit longer. And for those of you who love scoping your scoped weapons, you'll now be perfectly silent when you unscope, as nature intended.
