Dust 2 Replaces Overpass, and the Zeus and CZ75 Get Paid

Dust 2 took Overpass's place in the Active Duty group, the competition map pool and Premier matchmaking. The Zeus moves faster, has an adjusted attack cone and now pays $100 a kill instead of nothing; the CZ75-Auto's reward rose from $100 to $300, while the XM1014's fell from $900 to $600. Viewmodels can be switched between left and right hands mid-round, and a grenade line-up reticle appears shortly after the pin is pulled. Overwatch was added for demo review by trusted partners.
