Valve has released a new patch for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive which reworks the rules of Hostage Rescue mode and fixes a few bugs present in the game. You can check out the full patch notes below:

• Added new Hostage Rescue map cs_militia
• Update Hostage Rescue Mode rules
• Hostage positions are randomly assigned at the beginning of the match. The hostages will start at these positions for the entire match.
• Hostages are now carried by CTs instead of following behind.
• Hold +use for 4 seconds to pick up a hostage. (Equipping a rescue kit will decrease the time required to 1 second.)
• CTs win a round when the first hostage is rescued.
• Reduced round timer. Round time is extended when the first hostage has been picked up.
• Rebalanced money rewards to accommodate new rules.
• Hostages now indicate whether they are above or below you on the radar.
• cs_office, cs_assault, and cs_italy have updated to use random hostage spawn points.
• Added convars to modify new hostage rules
  • mp_hostages_max – Sets the maximum number of hostages to spawn.
  • mp_hostages_rescuetime – Setting 0 removes the time extension when CTs pick up the first hostage.
  • mp_hostages_spawn_farthest – Setting 1 forces hostage spawn points to choose be the farthest possible combinations.
  • mp_hostages_spawn_force_positions – Setting a comma separate list (ex: 0,2 ) forces specific hostage spawn point combinations.
  • mp_hostages_spawn_same_every_round – Setting 0 randomizes the hostage spawn points every round.
  • mp_hostages_takedamage – Setting 0 allows hostages to be hurt.
• Added hostage entity properties for new hostage rules
  • HostageSpawnRandomFactor – Allows to increase probability of hostage random spawning rules to use that spawn point.
  • HostageSpawnExclusionGroupN – Hostages sharing same spawn exclusion group will never spawn together.
• The action of defusing a bomb will now terminate when you turn your view too far from facing the bomb.
• Players always play a quiet client-side jump sound that can only be heard by the jumper.
• Players play the regular jump (step) sound when moving greater than walk speed that can be heard by both the jumper and all clients in earshot.
• The timer that performs the random map selection visuals now properly gets killed when the scoreboard hides.
• Fixed convar mp_weapons_allow_map_place not properly eliminating map-placed weapons. NOTE: FY servers will need to set this convar to 1.
• Added an option to func_dustmotes entity volumes that lets them choose to not be affected by wind.
• Fixed in-game clipping for triple-monitor rendering configurations.
• Added overtime indicator to GOTV spectators miniscoreboard.
• Radar should now correctly follow spectated player when spectating via GOTV.
• Adjusted score and MVP rewards for gameplay events related to planting, defending and defusing the bomb, and for reaching, protecting and extracting hostages.
• Steam overlay game details will now correctly show players score.
• Fixed special characters of player name not correctly displaying in some UI elements.
• Fixed a bug where friends were banned from joining parties where one of the members failed to recently accept a competitive match.
