I haven't played since the Steam sale started, anyone noticed a lot of new players?
In casual games, yes.

I forget to check play time but I just had guys in Arms Race to call outs and at the very last level it finally dawned on them that both teams can hear each other.
One guy was telling his team he was going to run up the side and camp our spawn, I turn to my left and off in the distance see a guy hoofing it around the back, shot him with the AWP right in the ear.
I just checked, the guy has 1500 hours played, the others were 150 - 250 hours, guess they just never played Arms Race before.
Now knowing he has 1500 hours played saying to a server full of people he is going to run up the side and camp in spawn is even funnier.
Got a random joining our lobby last night telling us he is in it to derank. Promptly told him to fsck off.I was wanting to comp last night but ended up tweaking my mouse settings vs bots.
Flatmate was in a few comps but he said the smurfs are real as well as everyone trying to derank their accounts.
Also, the new bomb timer sound is kuk.

Some new "close by" feature. Apparently anyone can join public lobbies these days.Shame, a random guy in someone’s friend list.
Welcome to CS:GO I guess...Half of my friends' list are randoms
I honestly thought my game was bugging out earlier on. I joined a Deathmatch by mistake when I was meaning to join a casual game and I couldn't figure out why I was spawning in CT spawn but with my teammates all over the map. The HUD also had a glitch whereby my crosshair disappeared and my Buy menu wouldn't open. I thought I was losing me mind!

Nope. When you go into the game, and you click on the 'public lobby' tab, you can join any lobby that isn't set to friends only. First time someone joined, it was cool. It wares off though, and you just want to play with players you jam better with.You sure it is not a public lobby through a Steam group, a community mechanic which was recently introduced?
For those that are not aware, the Classic Offensive mod was released two days ago:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/counter-strike-classic-offensive
I'm hosting a dedicated server for those that want to check it out. Unfortunately the server browser in the mod doesn't work (as the devs need to modify the source code and need Valve's permission to do so), but you can still connect via the console using the "connect" command. Find my server details here: http://www.onepointsix.org/index.php (use the "Africa" filter at the top).
Lobbies also work with the mod, so you can use that as well.
My CS 1.5 servers are still also available (will probably keep them up indefinitely as I jam on them from time to time).
