The big Counter-Strike 2 update is here, bringing in five community maps to competitive, Wingman, casual, and deathmatch modes in CS2.

Trust Factor is back in Counter-Strike 2, and leakers claim it’s better than before. CS2 Trust Factor does not necessarily punish or reduce cheaters in any way, but it does help players stay aware of what they are getting into before they hit Go. It’s an alert system that lets you know how trustworthy a teammate is based on an unknown but credible metric by the Valve. Trust Factor alerts stopped appearing when CS2 was released. The system has now returned, and if credible leakers are to be believed, it’s putting a red label on both cheaters and their teammates. Read More | CSGO dev says truste...
