tarped crate for de_vault🧑‍🍳

An Armory update, Cache, and Season 5, oh my: store.steampowered.com/news/app/730/v…

Today we’re excited to release the Jackass Sticker Capsule in association with @paramountgames and @jackassworld! Please keep the crafts safe for work... store.steampowered.com/news/app/730/v…

@ReliableRandom Agreed, unfortunate for everyone

@FMPONE It needs to exist. It's sad that they botched this whole thing.

Such a fumble. This stuff looks great, but they didn't bother to clear it with Valve beforehand. It would be pretty funny if Valve just took the idea wholesale and sold it themselves. "Thanks for the great idea, guys!"

Giving other companies awesome ideas that you yourself are legally forbidden to profit from. An ingenious maneuver, to be sure

I don't think Valve can really post-facto work with them either, because you have to protect your IP rights. Relenting now would be a green-light for other companies to steal their IP and negotiate afterwards. If this was a publicity stunt, it seems self-defeating

@JimWoodUK @jd_40 @PHRISK3D @CounterStrike Looking forward to it! 👏

de_elevation, coming July with @jd_40 @PHRISK3D The physical version of Elevation, containing a download code inside the box, will be available starting July 10 (ish) to support pre-loading.

Season Four of Premier ends on July 6th. You must have 25 Season Four Premier wins and a visible CSR when the Season concludes to earn your Premier Season Four medal. For the Season Five Active Duty map pool: - Overpass + Cache

They left no doubt! Congratulations to @FalconsEsport, who have defeated @FURIA 3-0 and are champions of the Cathedral and champions of the IEM Cologne 2026 Major! At long, long last, @NiKoCS_ wins his Major. 🥹 #IEM

@mrpotato44_ Looks fantastic IMO, I just notice that the rocks seem very unicolor, this makes everything look a bit fake

more Valley WIP

Your favorite first person shooter’s favorite first person shooter. The @IEM Cologne Major begins tomorrow. 🏆

@Angel_Uki I've been deadlockpilled for some time, but it gets a rage out of me that is intense

@FMPONE FMPONE is Deadlockpilled, i’m so ready for the new decade of Valve dominance

In a game full of unique abilities, after this update, everybody stands around spamming the one ability they share in common: the melee attack. Adding an urn deposit spot at mid was a good idea, it could rotate between that and the side lane and be a good change.

@itsNik_DL IMO all the emphasis on mid dilutes mid boss, which is the obligatory objective at mid. I can see the occasional urn fight at mid but in my experience fighting around the bridge is actually less fun than the sunken platforms from before

@FMPONE I may be dumb but what if they experimented having urn spawn at mid and have the drop off be at the side lanes, all old drop offs and neutral drop off so you actually have to keep lanes up instead of just blue and that way you can’t just snowball down into mid

@tres_cohen sure

@FMPONE Nah they even got u on the deadlock train. Thats so fire. Would you ever be interested in working on a map for another game mode or maybe even the map?

@TheCS2Historian Neither system was perfect. The urn seems like a strange and unclear amplifier on matches in general

@FMPONE Before no one would run it in lower ranks though I just think they are tying smth new because the old system felt too random in Pugs 🤷

@TheCS2Historian People just run at mid hoping to defend it with a lucky slap or parry. It feels pretty random and hard to coordinate

@TheCS2Historian I think what you're pointing to is how chaotic it gets trying to decide whether to defend urn or not. Before I think the calculus was a lot easier to run. Are we close to the other side of the map, are we set up, are we too down in numbers? Now it's just muddled and unclear
