Valve has started to update their new game much faster when it comes to beta. It was also about time, considering that the new version should be released during the summer of this year.
We were extra active on Twitter this morning, which means there's a CS2 update. Today we're adding Casual, swapping out Mirage for Nuke and Office, making adjustments to audio, fixing the slow crouch bug, addressing bunny hopping and more! And you can now inspect grenades. pic.twitter.com/CMjRARG1rH

The first change is the option to play Nuke and Office instead of Mirage, which didn't stick around for long unlike Dust2 which we had the chance to play for almost two months. Additionally, the sound in the game should be much better after today's patch.
An option to look at bombs while holding them has been added, which so far has only been the case for in-game weapons, and it remains unclear if this might mean there will be some bomb skins in CS2.
You can read the entire patch notes HERE.
What is perhaps the most important for players, and what professionals paid the most attention to, is the movement itself in the game, which according to Valve should now be much more similar to the CS:GO version of the game. The "crouch bag" has been fixed, and the "bunny hop" should now be identical to the one we are used to.

Also interesting is the window breaking animation, which is much more detailed than the previous one and looks really good.
All in all, new maps to play, improved movement, bombs in the game got a little attention, but what is most pleasing is the more regular changes, it seems that Valve has picked up the pace and they want CS2 to be in the best possible shape before officially and came out.

Finally, one player posted pictures of Inferno, which has not yet been put into the game. We can't confirm that the map will look like this, but it looks promising if it's right.
