cstop.jpgIf you're not quite sure how much spit and polish has been applied to Counter-Strike's more memorable levels as part of the game's upcoming Global Offensive update, check out these comparison shots.

Using official screenshots or trailer screengrabs as a base, players have staked out the exact same spots on existing versions of the maps, to give us all an idea of how much trash, debris and other assorted stuff is being added to breathe a little more life into the stages.

As you can see, some, like Nuke, haven't changed much! Others, like Dust, have changed a lot.

Note: Our gallery isn't playing nice with the portrait orientation of these, so click "expand" to see the images at their full-size.
