Valve has released a new update for Counter-Strike Global Offensive which includes a long-awaited change to kill feed, a 1v1 wingman Inferno map, and some major changes to chlorine.
New Kill Feed Includes blind kills, smoke kills, and no scopes
Much awaited change to the kill feed is here, and it looks like a new life to the feature. Kill feed now includes a sequence of every scenario of how the player died. From today onwards, killfeed will show a shot through smoke, no-scoped with AWP or Scout or kill while blind with the semiotics below:
- Blinded: Eye with cross through it.
- Smoked: Cloud of smoke with bullet.
- No-scope: Scope with cross through it.
Valve has also added Inferno as the fifth map to get the 1v1 wingman warmup arena and made some valuable changes to chlorine.
