USA CS2 patch coming out this May

Looks like the USA won't have to wait much longer for CS2! There's no exact date but, this is pretty reassuring.

It's basically what we expect: balance changes, mission mode changes, improved netcode, etc. are free, but Platinum will cost money (though you can fight her online for free).
