A side Changes: The first changes have been made to the cave section looking into bombSite. This is major. Boxes have been added to the passageway and the doorway has been changed. This allows for a 50-50 firefight situation.
The bomb site has been changed too. The platforms have been removed around the pyramids. The water level has been improved and metal walls are not penetrable anymore. But, the corner section is thin enough to penetrate.
The addition of the orange crate overlooking the A-Site is the most major change to the map.
B side Changes: The B Bombsite has undergone some significant changes. Stone crates have been added, which are not spammable. This creates an opportunity for a new plant site.
New walls have been added. This gives more options for defenders with certain elevated angles. Also, enables attackers in certain scenarios.
A lot of players will find the map changes ascertaining. Hopefully, it creates a more balanced scenario for both sides.

More balanced changes for maps are expected in near future.
