  • We played a match of Competitive Counter-Strike on classic maps that were so bad Valve deleted them from the game! cs_assault de_aztec de_cobblestone de_dust2 and cs_militia. Why did Valve ban these maps, and are they any good?

    I really love maps that arent the regular ol' reliable 4 squares. Playing maps like militia, oil rig, assault and 747 puts you in an entirely different game. These said maps feel like scenarios instead of arenas and that to me feels a lot more personal

    This really did take me down memory lane, and restored a lot of the memories that I had with CS. I think I've been brainwashed into seeing CS as being Dust2 and Mirage, but for me, it was assault, militia, italy, rats, iceworld, pool_party, hell, even oilrig. I think you still see a lot of those folks still playing office, and we should adopt insertion2 into those ranks of "try to shoot some people but also goof off trying to no-scope each other across the map" or something along those lines.

    I remember back in the 90's in highschool. We were sharing the game and updates on burned CDs. And having LAN parties in computer lab.
    Because only about 1 in 10 people had CABLE modem, back then, LAN was the only way to play. If you tried playing on 56k or DSL, you'd have 500 ping instead of 5.
    The computer lab had speakers built in to the computer with admin settings set so you COULDN'T turn the volume off. So that way teachers near by could hear if someone one was doing something in C-Lab that they weren't supposed to.
    We couldn't wear headphones because we had to hear if a teacher was coming. So we found old 3.5mm headphones and cut the 3.5 mm jack piece off so we could plug it into the computer and use it as a computer mute key.

    On one hand, I'm glad counter-strike has proven to be so successful. But on the other, as a casual player who only ever enjoyed the games for their surface-level team interactions and gameplay, I hate how sweaty and competetive-focused it's become.
    It's a time I can only get back to by playing against bots because anyone who plays CS these days is either playing a specialised minigame, an old fightyard, or has committed all competetive strats to memory and isn't fun to fight against.

Even playing with friends is difficult because of ranks, and scrimmage is full of smurfs that don't let me have any fun (playing casually =/= getting curbstomped). I'm relegated to wingman-only while playing with a friend as ignorant of ranks as I am. Casual mode doesn't work because that's not real CS imo.

    Short dust works for wingman by centering the bombsite, giving both sides several options for wingman "rotates" (ie outflanking) while still having 3 main lanes for initial contact. This was, of course, never a possibility for a 5v5 full-size de_dust.
    Somehow, way back when, we still managed to have reasonably close CAL matches on both de_dust & de_aztec. I guess no one really knew how to play Counter-Strike in the modern sense yet.

      I hate Wingman on Shortdust. The timings to the bombsite are so close thata good spawn could unbalance the round. It also feels awkward to move aroind in the center. There are way too many spots that are open to one side but impossible to get from the other side.

    Now, you can only find this sort of enjoyment on community servers. And as someone who runs a CSGO community, I can say without a doubt that Valve has done many things to kill off community servers. I understand why they focus all their efforts on the competitive scene, as that's what brings in the money... But, without the community, Counter-Strike would not exist. It's a shame, and it really really really bothers me more than it should. I've sent a number of emails to Valve about updates they've released that have broken features on community servers, requiring us to make workarounds that just aren't very good. I've not received a singly reply from Valve to date.
    I hope one day they get their heads out of their asses, and start listening to the community again. Competitive cs is fun, but community servers are where the friendships are built.
