Release notes for 5/11 Beta 14

 

Gameplay

• Tweaks to the recoil model based on player feedback.

• Decreased the throw velocity for Incendiary and Molotov grenades. They can no longer be thrown far enough to block terrorists from leaving spawn in Inferno.

• Removed the ability to exploit the radar data.

• The aiming precision now changes back to the standing accuracy state immediately after the crouch button is released as opposed to waiting until you get to a full stand.

• Movement speed when entering a crouched state will no longer instantly switch to crouched speed. This should improve crouch jumping.

• Added the option to have the very first round in a match have a "warmup period". This gives late joiners the chance to start at the same time as everyone else.

• Players who join late into an Arms Race match get the same weapon given to them as the player with the current lowest level in the game.

• Changed the default player models to st6 and phoenix; this addresses the issues with error geometry being shown on player created maps.
