I’ve been over this a lot, over the past few years, but in my opinion it just being old isn’t an excuse for Valve to neglect it so, where an update that was announced in advance as something more than usual just ended up being 100% community-made content and about 2 seasonal updates stapled together. What I really want is one last weapon balance pass, some tweaks to default graphics settings to make it run a bit better for new players (something like mastercomfig already implements these settings for you if desired), an emptying of the shop of some of the most egregious instances of overcharging for items that cost vastly less on the community trade circuit - quality of life stuff.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
So they weren’t kidding, it is an actual real update. Sure, it’s community content, but content and bugfixes nonetheless!
Gotta be honest, as someone who’s played the game for thousands of hours and gotten really into the community in the past… I’m whelmed.
It is 16 years old… 14 maps added is pretty cool.
The game is 16 years old. But it also
