Reloading Changes

A major change has been made to how reloading works in CS2. Previously, any unused ammo in a magazine was kept in a reserve supply. Now, when you reload, the partially used magazine is dropped, and all its remaining bullets are discarded. A new, full magazine is then taken from your reserve. Most weapons will have three full magazines in reserve, but some will have fewer or more, encouraging players to be more mindful of their ammo and when they choose to reload. There is an image showing this change.

Competitive Map Guides

Players can now access map guides during the first five rounds of each half in competitive matches. These guides are less detailed than those used offline but offer useful reminders for strategies like smoke grenade throws. Official map guides are available for Active Duty maps, and players can also subscribe to community-created guides through the Steam Community Workshop. You can turn on a guide from the pause menu.

Custom Games with Friends

A new feature allows players to join friends in custom game modes. The CS community has been creating many custom games using special tools, and now friends can directly join these games from their Friends list, provided the server allows it. Players can also host their own custom games on their machine by selecting "Open Party" in the Workshop Maps tab, allowing friends to join. There is an image related to custom games.
