Valve also made Trusted Mode the default launch option in CS:GO, meaning you won't be able to use a launch command to disable it completely from now on.  

Apart from the two new maps, and Trusted Mode, there are some general gameplay and miscellaneous CS:GO update notes to go through. Check them out below.

Gameplay:

• Grenades now convey the correct amount of damage to teammates if thrown by another teammate who switched teams or disconnected.
• Decoy grenade explosions no longer damage teammates by default. (controlled via convar ff_damage_decoy_explosion)

Misc:

• Fixed bsp-embedded models caching rules to allow for reloading the correct model when transitioning to a different map.
• Capped view model backfaces on Desert Eagle.
• Fixed workshop workbench texture regeneration on low shader quality GPU configurations.
• Minor adjustments to Danger Zone delivery drone behaviour for Steam Workshop Danger Zone maps.

With the CS:GO update notes out of the way, let's take a look at the two new maps.
