Also, today's update includes a new tool to help you practice throwing flash and smoke grenades in all of our maps. While you're on a private server enter "sv_grenade_trajectory 1" in the console, and you'll get to see the visual arc that grenades follow across the map.

Since we launched the <a href='asfunction:_global.CScaleformComponent_SteamOverlay.OpenURL,http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2013/02/6691/'><font color='#00CCFF'>CS:GO Maps Workshop</font></a> back in February, over 1,400 maps have been uploaded. The CS team has been consistently blown away by how complex, well thought out, and just plain fun so many of these maps have been.
We really wanted these maps to reach a wider audience, and also get the people making these amazing new gameplay experiences rewarded for their efforts.
