changedWeapon CamosWe're giving out weapon skins, but you're going to have to work for them. Rack up kills and headshots to unlock camo cosmetics for your gun and knife. Each respective weapon will have 10 tiers of unlocks each with a total of 20 unlocks per weapon.
changedJapanThis is the first Search and Destroy map we involved the community from it's most early inception. We posted the greybox design as a mod and gathered feedback from both casual and hardcore SND players. Set in a winter downtown location in Japan, this beautiful cityscape hosts the latest scrimmage between RUS and NATO forces set just after dawn. Just don't eat the yellow snow.
addedCo-op KillhouseIn this new approach to a killhouse course, we've created a multiplayer version where you and 4 other friends can work together to achieve the best score and put your names on the global leader board. Want to play casually? Flip the switch to randomize the lanes. The target distribution and leaderboards will change seasonally over time, keeping the killhouse fresh.
changedCarnival ReworkWe've decided to alter Carnival to improve the pacing of the map by making the rotations shorter through mid and by altering pathways for bombsite A.
