From now until July 31st, seven of the top-rated Steam Workshop maps will be available on official CS:GO Classic Casual servers through Operation Payback, available now through an in-game purchase for a limited-time discounted price of $2.99, or $5.99 after the offer expires.
The seven maps that will be made available are: Museum, Downtown, Thunder, Favela, Motel, Seaside, and Library. After purchasing the update, players will be able to invite their friends to play on the seven new maps with them - even if they don't have the pass.
It also comes with an upgradable challenge coin, which can be viewed alongside players' avatars. Players will begin at bronze and can battle their way to gold.
Operation Payback is the first in a series of limited-time updates aimed at giving a financial reward to some of CS:GO's most popular mapmakers. From the Counter-Strike blog:

Please note: the Store page for CS:GO reads that there should be eight maps, while the Counter-Strike blog, the in-game map list, and the Operation Payback page state that there are seven. It would seem that Operation Payback was to contain one more map, Pool Day, but for unknown reasons they chose to exclude it. Pool Day is currently available in the Steam Workshop.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has become Valve's 5th game to feature Steam Workshop support for mods and additional content. The game received map workshop support earlier today after the conclusion of a short beta period earlier this year. Similarly to Portal 2, CS:GO features map only workshop support which allows users to view, download and rate a variety of different community created Counter-Strike maps. At time of writing, around 100 maps have already been uploaded including variations on existing maps, recreations of classics and the odd custom game mode.

Workshop support wasn't the only talking point from today's update, as the classic hostage rescue map cs_assault has been added to the game. Be sure to check out the Steam Workshop and the official post over at the Counter-Strike blog to read all about the game's most recent update and Steam's CS:GO celebratory weekend sale.
