The full list of patch notes has also been released, this includes various bug fixes and improvements. Worth a mention that Shotguns are now a lot cheaper and the P90 has been balanced in terms of cash reward. Also the HUD in demo playback is now fixed.
[ NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT ]
-Replaced Competitive mode "Join in Progress" matchmaking system with "Queued" matchmaking.
