CS:GO update reintroduces Train, nerfs CZ-75 and more

The latest Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update features a reintroduction of the classic de_train map, a much needed CZ-75 nerf and more.

The nerf includes a decrease of the magazine size down to eight bullets, slightly less damage and fire rate, a new draw animation that takes nearly twice as long to draw, and a decreased kill reward. 

de_train had also been updated, with overall visual overhauls and wider bombsites. A video demonstrating the new map can be found below:
 

Other gameplay adjustments were also made, including a $200 increase in price of the M4A1-S and a $100 decrease in price of the Desert Eagle. A full changelog of the new update can be found below:
