Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has gotten a quick update on July 23, and some fun changes have been made to Valve's massive FPS. Most of the update is focussed around the default launch of Trusted Mode, which previously didn't work out well, and some gameplay fixes but players will also experience a new map rotation.
Mutiny and Swamp are moving into official matchmaking for Casual, Deathmatch and Scrimmage modes and Chlorine and Jungle are being removed, freshening up the maps you'll be battling on.
In gameplay changes, grenades are finally getting a fix. They will now do the right amount of damage to teammates if the player that threw it has disconnected from the game or has switched teams. Decoy grenades are also being reworked to not damage your teammates by default, which will surely prevent some awkward situations.
