"Damage Control" is the headline of the new blog post on the official website for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Players have been complaing about the new R8 Revolver and even started a petition on change.org asking for its removal.

The new gun was introduced by Valve on Tuesday alongside some major gameplay changes, but most notably the weapon comes across as overpowered with its one shot kills. However, the team has already reacted and updated the R8 Revolver to bring its stats more in line with this of other weapons; among the changes its deals less damage and it takes slightly longer to fire.

The team also said that it "may require several iterations over a longer period to find the stable values that create interesting strategic choices for players". They also say that they will continue to keep an eye on the game, so that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive remains fun, skillful, and balanced.
