Now, surprising players on November 13, Valve has deployed the latest CS2 update. Teased earlier in the day with a 40-second video of the map in motion, it was later confirmed Train is finally back in the spotlight.
“A map almost as old as Counter-Strike itself returns,” devs tweeted to accompany the full patch notes soon after. That’s right, Train is now back in the rotation for both casual and competitive game modes, fit with all the flashy visuals and enhancements of CS2.

That’s not all though, Overpass has also been adjusted slightly with a handful of layout tweaks, and Valve has added four new community maps to keep things fresh as well, which should help shake things up for players.
Palais and Whistle have been added for the Wingman game mode while Basalt and Edin are fully playable across both casual and competitive game modes moving forward.
