Season Two Swaps Train for Vertigo, Cuts the M4A4, and Nerfs SMG Crouch Accuracy

Premier Season Two opened with Train entering the Active Duty pool and Vertigo leaving it, and every player's CS Rating recalibrated on their Season One performance. The M4A4 fell to $2,900 and the FAMAS to $1,950 with improved accuracy, while the MP9, MP5-SD and MP7 lost crouching accuracy. The AUG and SG scope dot was adjusted to work better at range. A dynamic radar zoom option now grows and shrinks to keep teammates and the bomb in view.
