Counter-Strike 2 removes Overpass and adds Dust 2 to the competitive map pool

Valve released a new update for Counter-Strike 2 on April 25. This update officially swaps Overpass for Dust 2 in its Active Duty Group and the Competition Map Pool, which means we’ll not be seeing Overpass in competitive tournaments, nor Premier too.

Dust 2 returns to the forefront of competitive play, which is also a map known or its balanced architecture. Its players welcome its reintroduction, which has been a part of the history of Counter-Strike tournaments. Those who loved Overpass will have to say farewell to it. However, we believe that Vertigo should be removed from the active duty group and competition map pool instead of Overpass.

This update finally allows players to use the lefthand ViewModel, and it took Valve a long-time to add this as a feature in the game. As for today’s update, there are plenty of other changes, which can be found below:
