In der Nacht von Donnerstag auf Freitag hat Valve die neue Operation Broken Fang veröffentlicht. Die neue Operation bringt unter anderen den Community-Spielmodus “Retakes” als offiziellen Modus auf Valve-Servern. Zusätzlich gibt es nun Matchmaking im “Premier Mode”, hier wird die zu spielende Map mittels Pick-Ban-Verfahren ermittelt.

Neben den neuen Spielmodi hat Valve auch zahlreiche neue Karten veröffentlicht wie zum Beispiel die Defuse-Map Ancient, die Danger-Zone-Karte Frostbite sowie weitere Geisel- und Wingman-Karten.

Zur Operation Broken Fang gibt es auch eine neue Kiste mit von der Community kreirten Waffen-Skins, sowie die Kollektionen “Kontrolle” und “Verwüstung”. Neben Waffen-Skins kommen auch neue Agenten-Skins, Aufkleber und Graffitis.
