- CHECK OUT SCOPE! bit.ly/3xqHasz
In this video, I poll the Counter-Strike community about which currently playable competitive map is best. This survey was really fun to make, and opened my eyes a lot to how the counter-strike community works. A few of the results surprised me a lot. Turns out the CSGO community is pretty cool.
Sorry for the late upload, I'm trying out uploading on Fridays for a little while
If you read this, comment "I think that Opposing Forts is the best map in CSGO"

YO THANKS TO SCOPE FOR THE SPONSOR! forgot to add this in the description i’m stupid. USE THIS LINK TO USE SCOPE! bit.ly/3xqHasz
Hey, may I suggest maybe a slightly more engaging/fast pace. Try to speed it up a little bit for something like this, doesn't mean the vid has to be shorter, just maybe a little faster. I found myself fast forwarding a bit just because of how much time it took to go from map to map.
u also say the word echo like 19 times, try to mix up the words a bit, other than that congrats on the growth!!
@@meerlux1174 SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how the results would differ if you added a "Don't Know"/"Haven't Played" and an "Indifferent" option in your survey. There were significantly more 3 votes for maps like Tuscan, Breach, and Anubis than for Cache, Office, and Inferno, suggesting that a lot of people didn't know enough about those maps to have an actual opinion one way or the other.
I feel like the results would be kinda different if people didn't have to vote for maps they were unfamiliar with. It would probably give a better picture of how those maps actually feel to play.
Agree
And also make it clear that it's about playing on the map, not watching. It's so weird seeing people talk about how good a map is because it's "fun to watch" or dissing one because it's "boring to watch". But maybe that's just me.
@@AlphaGarg When people criticize a map because of how fun/boring it is to watch, they are actually refering to the pro scene, and how they feel while watching the best players in the world face each other in this arenas. A big part of CS is the pro scene, and it´s very important to take into consideration how the audiences feel when spectating these maps. Obviously, the most important characteristic of a map is how much fun you have while PLAYING it, but spectating it´s still a factor.
i dont know nuke or overpass even though i recognize overpass as a fairly balanced and well playted map. another limitation of ranked choice surveys
@@lucasdesantis2068 Yeah, I know, but listening to the pro scene is what got us games like Halo 5 Guardians and all the needlessly extreme nerfs to guns like the M4A1-S or the CZ, the latter of which is basically useless thanks to the microscopic ammo reserve. The only reason Valve (or any company, really) listens to that crowd of players is because of the money it makes them and the attention it brings, it literally never makes a game more fun to play lol.
i would say that mirage is obviously the "best" map for beginners and for long time players, but i personaly enjoy nuke the most as its experimental and the most fun.
I enjoy very much nuke , cache and train !!
Movement players: *nodding*
Love Nuke. I even loved it back in CSS.
Nuke or Inferno for me, Nuke because as you said: experimenting. Inferno because it’s such an easy map to improvise plays on.
nuke is for try hards and run boost trick shooters
Nuke is my favorite. the amount of different strategies you can use makes it the best map imo
Strongly agree. After all the changes it has gone though it really has become the most fun to play and watch.
FranzJ presents
I can only think of about 4 strategies for the T's tbh.
1. go secret
2. rush through hut/squeaky onto A site
3. nade squeaky and rush through vents
4. rush ramp
@@shamrooooock lol?
@@Photek24 wym lol
I don't think people were referring to a CSGO problem when saying that Inferno was hard to retake on. There is a general consensus that Inferno is by far the hardest map to retake a bombsite after it has been taken, leading to much more frequent saves than any other map. It would take more than a comment to analyze why that is the case (there is a video idea for you :p), but I can see a few reasons why:
-The sites are very vertical, and unlike Nuke, it doesn't require control of the entire map to utilize that verticality, leading to way more off-angles that can be used against CTs in a retake.
-There are also a lot of hiding spots on both bombsites (apps, graveyard, dark, ruins, banana, etc.) and there are also spots on both bombsites where the Ts can waste a good 5 seconds by simply running around an object, and both these issues require CTs to retake a lot faster than other maps to counter them.
-The CTs need to go through a lot of chokepoints to even start the process of retaking. For example, if you want to go through CT to retake A, there can be a T in library or long waiting for you to peek your head out. This is a problem in itself, but it also makes it easier for Ts to predict the moves of a CT player, especially in a 1v1. For example, just yesterday I checked mid 6-7 secs after planting the bomb, and I knew that not seeing the enemy at that timing meant that the CT was coming from the spawn. Then, I only had to shift through long to kill him when he was still checking all the little holes that I could be hiding in.
-Inferno is a very utility-heavy map. A lot of gameplay involves Ts baiting and playing around the number of utility used by CTs to make sure that they cannot completely stop a push into one of the bombsites. Naturally, this often means that CTs won't have a lot of utility that they could otherwise use to at least naturalize the abundance of hidey holes.
Hey man im a new csgo player and i would like to thank u for explaining abt inferno.
this may be the greatest analysis of inferno ive ever read
I honestly think Dust 2 is worse than Inferno, if we are talking B sites. Inferno A site is not too bad, easy angles to check besides maybe graveyard.
@@maybecole On A site you have graveyard, pit and apps; also rotating around the bombsite is a lot faster than Dust2's B site where you have to go through tunnels to middle :')
I agree with you, though, on the idea that Dust2's B-site is also very hard to retake.
The last point is actually pretty great and makes a lotta sense. Didn't think about that perspective before, even though inferno is my 1st or 2nd most played map in cs through 8 years
In faceit lvl 10, Inferno has lost every last bit of fun there is to have in CSGO. It's the most utility dependant map in the game by a mile. Dust II feels like an aim server where aim wins you the game. Mirage feels like a middle ground between mechanical skill and utility while on inferno lately it feels like the biggest smoke/flash nerd wins.
It's a good map, sure. But the amount of studying required to have a chance against good players is immense compared to other maps. If you solo q on that map in high level faceit, you better believe you'll get steamrolled by a prestack of inferno specialists with every trick in the book for inferno and inferno only.
That's the reason why we dont play it in Leagues. This Inferno hard grinders are so lost on other maps.
I hate playing all of the 3 maps you named in faceit. Everyone knows how to play those maps and i know too. They are a chore to play and stale in my opinion. If there is a chance, i will always pick ancient, vertigo or train on faceit.
@@nski_ Train feels like the ultimate tryhard map in my opinion. 19/20 people only know basic utility and strats on that map. But the few times I can recall getting 16-0'd in five stack, it's been on train against ULTRA tryhards on train
@@bimpa1568 SO true..
I like to think that I’m a somewhat decent faceit10 train player, but I have been served some seriously embarrassing claps by 5 stacks in the past. Left me speechless
@@bimpa1568 acting like trying to win in a competitive game is bad..
Really weird how you didn't factor out people who admitted to never/rarely playing the maps they were ranking. If you do this again, you need to add an extra question asking how much a voter actually plays a given map in competitive (something like Never played/Played once/Played 10 times). Would have been interesting to see how the community maps fared among people who actually played them at least once.
Agree
Really surprising dust2 is pretty low on the list at 6th, considering everyone calls it "the best level in FPS history" and all. Not that I'm complaining since I always preferred Nuke, even in the old days.
It’s the classic most famous one but it’s overplayed
csgo's dust2 have so many flaws they should take some aspects of 1.6's dust2 the double doors (long) should be removed, add some boxes on pit, remove headshot box (b site) and remake the visual again because this one wasn't it, doesn't feel "dusty".
Dust2 was just the first standout "great" map, kind of like MW2's Rust or Black Ops' Nuketown.
New players immediately recognized it, old players enjoyed it. But there's a point where boredom hits in playing the same map over and over and over again.
It's far from good, only draw to it are fast rounds it rewards peak agression/rushing and aim skills instead of tactics and positioning, variety on it is non existant as there are like 4 ways all rounds go. Middle sniping is dumb tho it offers only bit of tactic in firm of spottibg how many CTs went B.
Biggest problem is that it forces you to be suicidal and accurate. Inferno is much better as classic maps go, with way more routes and more ways to trick people.
@@Kacpa2 You can dislike it, but saying it’s “far from good” is completely and entirely dishonest. It’s layout effectively the template for what makes a cs map, it offers a balanced experience at all levels of matchmaking, and it’s enjoyable to watch in the pro scene, it has stood the test of time for a reason, it’s only fallen out of favour because people have played it too much - that doesn’t happen with bad maps.
Breach is by far the best playing recent map I think, think it needs a few more ways to access the sites.
Best map set in an office area.
How dare you slander office like that, office best office
Agency is the best office map :)
The best map is missing... from the game :(
Valve bring back 2018 era Cbble please
Also some maps like Santorini, which at this point are so old, would probably slowly but surely climb the ladder, if it were introduced to all the new players today.
shit, i think they couldve kept the entirety of operation vanguard lmfao that op was stacked with great maps!
Cobble :(
HEY! check your comment on the last video to see if you won - the current winner has not responded. I will draw again in a few hours if they don't respond.
I got in contact with him all is well
@@PenguinCS2 comment
You should do this survey every year, would be fun to see the changes.
I'd like to see at least twice a year.
especially with CS2 on the horizon now. i have a feeling that’s definitely gonna switch this list up a bit
I haven't regularly played CS in a very long time, and it's so nice to see Nuke has been finally fixed up to the point where the community has grown to like it this much. I remember back in 2016 and for the following couple years I played the most, it was overwhelmingly disliked. It's insane how much of a difference those more recent changes made to the map.
My favorite maps that have ever been in the game are Insertion and Insertion 2. Its wide open and diverse map design along with four different entry points gave every round the opportunity to be a lot more unique. It felt like they relied more on studying your opponents' play style a lot more than mastering the maps themselves, which I think is a lot more fun for casual play.
Insertion II was insanely good and fun. Won and lost many close games on both teams. It is a shame it didnt manage to become a permanent hostage map. At least for me it is far better than Agency or Milita, although I like them all.
I'm pretty sure Astralis and NaVi just absolutely dunking on every one team is what shifted the balances
You're going to be one of the largest CS content creators on TH-cam in no time. The community has been needing more content like this, the skins market and gambling content has been the main focus for so long. When I want to watch a video about CS I want game play, map design, and mechanics. Thank you for making great content that I want to watch and I look forward to more!
Check out 3kliksphillips if you want more content like this
@@baremangus3576 ESCalation's too, although his focus is more on the casual side.
The CSGO standard queue in my opinion: Dust 2, Mirage, Inferno, +Nuke if you're feeling funky
Nuke being 2nd might also be contributed by the recent big events.
Nuke was the final map of PGL Stockholm 2021 (G2 vs NaVi), PGL Antwerp 2022 (FaZe vs Navi), and also the decider of Grand Final of IEM Cologne 2022 (FaZe vs Navi).
Tekken 4 Beach stage music in the background at the start is a nice touch!
Ancient is pretty fun in my opinion. The interplay between mid/donut/jaguar/cave is so deep and has so many potential counter plays.
It's cool because mid is very important and there are so many ways to take it.
Damn interesting results. Although I would argue that Nuke is WAY less popular at lower ranks just as u mentioned. I imagine that a big chunk of people who participated in this survey belongs to higher rankings and has some sense of competetive play awareness. I really think that nuke can be very hard for newer players, especially as a T-Side player not knowing how to play can easily end the game for you. Outside can be a hell without using smokes while entering A side from Hut can be just hard if you think of the number of angles and where people can stand. It's one of the more harder maps for sure.
as a beginner to nuke I agree
I loved the dark and industrial feeling of old nuke :/. I never play the "new" version.
Aztec, Assault, Office, Italy... Those are the maps I had most FUN on.
In 2022 "fun" is no longer a concern to most people, only "competitiveness" and "watchability". Because ESports.
@@AlphaGarg Sadly true, I do hope one day hostage mode gets a redesign in terms of gameplay.
Nuke and Inferno are my two favorites, so I guess I am kind of basic. I find them both interesting with the whole verticality of nuke and the massiveness of banana. And I guess as more of a siege player than a cs player I can appreciate the amount of areas that I can lurk in like the second mid apps on inferno and the nearly forgotten corners of nuke. Tuscan is probably my other favorite since I've had a lot of fun with it recently
If you also play those maps, you are not basic at all. Even though those maps were rated higher than Mirage, Mirage is still the most popular map in the game. Nuke is also among the least popular maps in the community, with even Vertigo beating it by a significant margin.
I'm so glad to see your channel grow! keep it up man

Guys give chance to de_Breach I've played it randomly in MM, and surprisingly it was such a well thought out map, especially mid and outside, its such a breath of fresh air from any csgo maps before.
luv your videos , they are always so original and entertaining
Yooo i am soo happy for ur first sponsored video !!! You deserve it more than anyone dude ! Keep up the good work
I love Office deathmatch in source. Wish the map was a bit brighter in CSGO. Would love to play office only dm in csgo or see more of it in community servers
Just -Vertigo +Cache/Train and I would be happy for both competetive and casual CS
Hope you are able to keep the growth up loving the content
holy shit dude, you went from 500 subs to almost 30K so fast
well deserved, keep up the good content
Nice video as always, Penguin. Thank you for your effort. I was one of the persons that advocated against cs_agency, not because the map is horrible, but simply because there are better options. I really would like to see a rotation on the permanent hostage maps. Agency leaves competitive for a while and other maps come in, such as cs_backalley or cs_cruise, which were good maps, although none beats Insertion II, that map was insanely fun.
Agency will always have a special place in my heart, just because of the beeping metal detector that me and my buddies called "Rema" as a callout (Rema 1000 is a grocery store in Norway, and the beeping noise kind of sounds like beeping in items at the cash register :D)
Coming into this over a year later and less than a hundred hours in cs2/csgo and I just want to say that Ancient is slowly becoming my favorite map. I've found that the rotations are easiest to understand and the callouts make sense. It also reminds of Kurtz's compound from Apocalypse Now so that's cool.
Great video. I think it would be awesome if you did something like this every few months or so? I'd like to see and compare how everyone's opinions changes as maps get swapped/updated/remade.
I love vertigo. Me and my friends have played only vertigo non stop for about 7-8 months. I agree with them saying it’s an A ramp simulator as 9 times out of 10 we go to A instead of B. I really love and enjoy this map. We all finish work get home and hop on for a couple games of vertigo and each and everytime it’s beautiful wether a win or a loss. We have our own call-outs our own quirky nades smokes flashes and even angles and boosts we constantly run into new challenges and have more and more fun on this map everytime we play. We have this map so tightly knuckled down into our brains that sometimes I even dream about it. Everyone always says it’s a CT sided map but recently the T side has definitely been favouring over in our case at-least and even the enemies at some points. In conclusion it will always and is still my favourite map to this day. I love vertigo.
I feel the exact same way about vertigo
every video you get like 10k subs, kinda proud being here since the beginning
Loving your content man!
awesome channel really good job you'll definitely be one of the top cs creators in the coming future so long as you stay passionate about making these vids :)
Video reflects my experience with each map down to a t , especially the point about Nuke and FranzJ. It's a super interesting map but any time I queue for nuke I seem to get teammates who haven't a clue how to play it either, they buy util they never use and just take fights they dont need to take on CT
Glad to see Inferno being number 1 on this list, it was my favourite map since I ever started playing CS GO and I think most of it comes from being a friendly map for any skill level a player can have, being that most of the map is a simple thight corridor with not many places for enemies to hide.
Inferno is the most skill heavy map in the game idk why it should be for everyone
You could make that call about something like mirage because it‘s a good middle ground but not inferno
Did this bot just call inferno a simple and friendly map?
Its the most utility heavy, saving simulator.
Not fun playing vs a premade of inferno nerds that know every nade like its a major
Really cool idea, might check out some of the community maps next time I queue based on what was said here
Great video to get a feeler on how the community thinks about each map. I forgot I had contributed in the survey until one of my responses (or possibly one similar to mine) came on the screen
My Comp. Maps rating: 1st: Overpass, 2nd: Vertigo, 3rd: Nuke, 4th: Mirage, 5th: Dust II, 6th: 7th: Inferno. Unpopular opinion i know. But the last 4 arent far away from each other for me. They are all ok. But Overpass, Vertigo and Nuke are sooo Good IMO.
Team Overpass💅
The lowest 5 are the only maps I play. Love agency, office, and anubis. Breach is pretty good too and tuscan is fine but I think I play it the least out of the others. Weird how that works.
agency is better than office no doubt, office only haves 2 small chokepoints but agency has 3 that are more open and give more oportunities
not only that but think about all the possible boosts on agency, it almost feels like playing insertion at times with how you can surprise the enemy team
I respectfully disagree. I believe office is more balanced than agency. Allow me to explain. Lets start with agency. Whereas it is true that Agency has 3 ways for CTs to advance, all of them are hard to control. Ts can reach the middle area sooner regardless of how close a CT spawns and they can throw molotov and HEs through the glasses, while the opoosite is impossible. The two outer ways (idk how they are called tbf) are difficult in the sense that Ts can peek from both a lower and an upper level, whereas CTs cant (unless someone manages to go up the stairs on the right side). Also, in the bathroom corridors Ts can use grenades early on to block any advances, although it requires a good spawn. You most likely would have to waste a smoke or flash right away just to reach the bathroom itself or the stairs on the other side. On the other hand, Office offers better chances for the CTs. Just think about it. Yes, indeed the corridors are smaller, but precisely because of that a good CT will have an easier time. Lets suppose no T rushes early on the round (which is pretty dumb cosidering that CTs can peek gate and middle earlier if they have the best spawns). Normally, Ts will have control of the spawn and the main corridor on the middle, whereas CTs will take control of the offices, gate and adjacent areas. Such a situation, which is very common, reduces the positioning of the T team to a few locations. For example, you want to take control of the main corridor? Check the bathroom area first (although normally no one goes there since its easily countered), molotov the vending machine spot, which can be done without actually peeking into the corridor, and thats it. Next, lets say you wish to advance towards the back corridor to take the hostage there or encircle the T spawn. Normally there will be a T close to the entrance, behind the couch or futher back on the plant. You can use a HE and/or flash or if you still have your molly you can throw it on the back and clear the corridor. You can wallbang the couch spot too or simply prefire. The same for the other side. You can wallbang the archive spot and then either smoke kitchen and go towards middle or smoke middle and advance towards kitchen, it will depend on what your team is doing and where the hostage is, of course. Also on office once you take the hostage you can save it in far less time. For example, if the hostage is on the best spawn on kitchen, it takes about 11s to reach the hostage zone. Utiliy usage is also easier on Office since the Ts will have control of smaller areas, so you can often get some HE kills and such. But do not take me wrong, I do like agency. My arguments are solely related to balance, which is an objetive analysis based on map layout. It has nothing to do with fun, I do find agency fun and play the map pretty much every week.
I think Office is less T sided than most people think. If you get lucky enough to not get cheaters in a comp game on Office, it can play fair.
T's can get punished for playing too aggressive and too passive. All it takes is to get one pick in Paper and Mid Control and CT's can win.
Another thing I don't see on Office is CT's smoking well. Lots of CT's just throw them down a hall without consideration where they will land. If you are able to place smokes on top of common camping spots you can effectively destroy an entire T side passive play. It really isn't that hard.
@@youtuberobbedmeofmyname Couldnt agree more. Often when one loses a CT is has more to do with his/her lack of map knowledge than the other team's own merits.
@@epiccamper office hallways are longer so its harder to clear, also in agency theres 3 hallways and u talk about how utility could make it more T sided or less T sided, but u have to considered hostage is not played on pro play, is just in ranked, u cant expect plp to actually play utility the way it is.
You make absolutely killer vide man❤
Love the Persona music in the background
The pun at 3:46 made me laugh out loud lol
My favourite map was Basalt. I know a lot of people disliked it, but me and my friends loved it.
What the hell did you do before making these videos?
You went from not posting videos, to straight up professional productions! Keep it up! Loving it
BTW: I LOVE Anubis
Inferno is such a goated map, really fun to play and the fact there is 2 middles connected by a underground passage is really fun, on CT side i really enjoy the angles you can hold like pit on A site or coffin on B site i just like how there is a few ways to access the sites instead of just one linear passage that you can easily die to by an AWP. On T side its really fun to with multiple options on how to approach either A or B, me personally i love rushing down Banana on first round with all 4 teamates and obliterating the poor people there. Overall i think Inferno will remain the most popular for a while since while its not only just fun to play its also really intense watching it in the competitive scene.
I'd pick overpass, always begin my hidden love but friends don't play it that much. Vertigo has also grown on me after it's all my some of my friends play lol
Quality video my guy!
BRO, i was here when your latest video was the Tuscan one, and you had 500 subs. Your videos now get 100k+ views and you have 30k subs!
Overpass and Nuke are my all time favorite maps to play! I personally don’t love Inferno, but I respect the map and would still rate it high!
Good video! Love the content!
Finally another alpha overpass enjoyer, it's my fav too :D
yes I might be pretending to be franzj but I just love nuke for how much movement matters, it's just fun to mess around on
A lot of my opinions on the maps are mainly based on the type of players I find in solo-q MG2 USW matchmaking.
Dust II: Throwers and no-mics, awful games
Mirage: Chill people, solid competitive games
Inferno: Good teammates and team play
Nuke: franzj presents 50% of the time
Overpass: I love this map so much but I always get bad games on it against 5 stacks
I would like to see cobble return. Keep making the great videos!
I absolutely loved Inferno when they remade it 7 years ago, it really fixed all the issues that map had with wider corridors and less stuff on Banana, open A site and greater visibility everywhere around the map and from that moment its my 1st placed map on every CSGO top 5 map lists I ever done
I loved basically all of the old operation hydra maps, it might just be nostalgia since I started playing cs back then. But Austria, Shipped and Insertion just felt so nice to play, they might be good maps for solo-qeueing but not good for an esports match.
hope in the future valve and community map makers can add things to maps that benefit players that take the time to learn movement techniques like mirage, nuke, overpass, inferno, and cache. Feel like its more of a forgotten thing, a lot of people just care about perfect aim and utility usage which is all important but being able to have difficult to reach off angles would be fun and would help make some maps less dry overtime since it opens up more ways to hold sites/lanes
I remember not even 3 months ago you were close to 1-2k subs, now you are close to 30k and getting the bag. I am sure that you will get 100k ez)
Anubis is a criminally underrated map. I can't quite articulate what's wrong with mid but it definitely could do with an update, I think by changing mid you could definitely make A site more viable. Honestly dream of it being added to the competitive rotation. Love the videos mate.
Mid is really hard to hold as CT because Ts can peek from 2 opposing angles with the exact same timings, and if they decide to smoke you and drop, you can't really do anything about it. You can blind spray, but that leaves you very vulnerable to tracer tracking or just guess shots, because you only have a very small area to stand where your body is protected.
I also don't like the difference in elevation between the water and the sides below mid. They did well to make the water quiet, but I really hate having to either jump to clear bridges/gaps, or be forced to walk a certain path to not take falling inaccuracy.
I really like Anubis. I think the mid bridge/underpass is really interesting. But I do agree that right now it is CT sided but as you said with map knowledge that will improve.
Fav video so far
Inferno and deciding BO3-s, name a more iconic duo...
About Mirage: i fully agree that its almost perfectly balanced, but the reason me, and many of my friends try to avoid it is because in MM circumstances, with 1-2 random teammates, we feel this is the easiest map (of the mainstream ones) to get stomped on if the tactical ability/map knowledge is just below the enemies knowledge.
Office is my favorite as whit half a que of my frieds its a one of the most fun things you can have in csgo. Office simply allows for strategies that cant be done elsewhere like bizon rushes and cornering by holding down every corridor whit negevs.
My biggest gripes with Tuscan right now are mid, the CT side of snake and just how many nooks and crannies that map has for players to hide in. It makes it such a chore to get anywhere when you have to regroup, because a lurk could sit in any of those corners.
This, combined with bein unfamiliar with the map can make it very frustrating to play on. It might get a lot better once I get a feeling for the timings and strategies on it, but for now regrouping and taking/retaking a bomb site can be very frustrating because of that.
office. I like maps that feel claustrophobic like paper or t start. Also the far left ct office area is cool.
It would be really interesting to see the correlation between the rating of new or “more complex” maps and the rank of the person voting. I’m pretty sure lower lever player prefer simple maps while learning cs. And as the majority of players is not at a high skill ceiling
That into the breach team icon at 12:57 was pretty cheaky
Im glad overpass got high score, that map is underrated as fuck IMO.
Also cache master race, literally an art piece, never played a better map.
I loved old cache before it got green and hard to run, plus it was the place where you would inspect skins
I pretty only play Dust 2 and Inferno. I think I enjoy the Ultra fast CT rotates and the nuances of retakes on both maps.
love love love the persona 3 music
What WarOwl suggested where there's 7 maps in the competitive pool and each team can ban 1. That way you have to play 1 of the remaining 5. More maps being played would be great, everyone gets funneled into the same maps.
dust2 for me has become one of those maps that’s really fun to play every once in awhile. Like nostalgia in map form. And with how much mirage is overplayed, so man players still don’t understand a lot of the basics on how it should be played. Nuke takes number 1 spot except when you have teammates who don’t communicate vent drops and fast secret pushes by Ts. Hearing that bomb get planted without warning in A site is the worst
It was really interesting seeing Dust II not that high up. I believe this should be done every year or maybe every two years with all the changes that get done, it'd be interesting to see what the community thinks then
dust trash map
I only just now realised that the Dust 2 "coin" or icon's number 2 is actually the doors being ajar :O
Highlight the areas of the text you are reading, especially in the long paragraphs people have sent.
For every placement map, tell the audience where it is placed in the "best map" leaderboard, at the start of every map. This helps the viewer watching the video understand the structure, keeping them engaged and invested so that they continue watching and don't lose interest earlier. Imagine the viewer is blind, to help you produce the video in a way which is both engaging through audio and visual.
Also play some background gameplay of strats or plays of each map. Helps to keep engagement again - the sweeping shots of each map are good but, maybe use half sweeping shots half in-play shots.
Despite those it was really good, very professional and good choice of music, well thought out script, unbiased, balanced and interesting.
Office is actually so underrated. I feel like a ton of people who dont even give it a chance rate it a 1 because they dont understand the hostage gamemode as a whole and the dynamics of the map. I also feel like Office is the one of the best maps to just goof off and fuck around and still have a good time.
i love office and agree it is underrated. Mostly when i see people play it is Mirage, Vertigo, Dust2, Anubis, Ancient and Inferno. Players that know a lot of lineups for nades have big advantage on those maps but when playing those maps without communication in team it is hard when not knowing where enemies are, if team is quiet you have no idea where they are without peeking and seeing them yourself because those maps are so big. I don't know a lot of lineups for smokes, molotovs, flashes etc but it is harder to play these maps when some players know them and have a strategy to use but not everyone in the team knows lineups and are quit. At Office it is easier to play without communication in team because you know where enemy are they are either outside paper or going long. For example at Nuke good players can throw smokes at yard and sometimes go secret and sometimes not or throw molotov and flashes into A and sometimes go there or instead go ramp to b but i guess that tactic demands higher skilled players to i am not playing Nuke for that reason. It is hard enough to aim in the game without having to learn a lot of smokes and nades and have a strategy with players you play with for the first time :)
Fire content, deserve more subs lol
yo bro i suggest you making a video on cs 1.6 old maps , no one seems to care about them but they seem good , not for competitive play obviously but for fun
Old cobblestone so good they had to remove the map💀
I think one of the reasons people like the newer, weirder maps like Nuke and Vertigo instead of the classic 3-lane is that it offers more potential variety each match and makes most of the guns in the entire game viable, including shotguns and heavy weapons, even in the pro scene. It makes the game feel so fresh.
wasnt expecting to hear mirage saloon in this video 🎶
Tekken 4 Kitsch what a legendary track to use at the start of the video 😂
great video penguin
another classic penguin video. i think you shouldve included player skill to the survey and weighed it based of that but then again you run the risk of trolls or bad sample size. either way good video even if it doesnt fall under the scrutiny of a data scientist
Insertion. 1 or 2, both are best maps in CS:GOs history for me. I will die on this hill.
the tekken 4 beach music unlocked a memory for me
My best maps ranked:
3.) Mirage - It's a basic map, some says it's just Dust3 and others says it's the map where you first time practicing nade lineups. Overall it's a good map.
2.) Inferno - This map has so many ways to play it. You can play aggressive or passive, and it will reward or punish you for it. If you don't know any nade lineups you're screwed. Overall it's a great map.
1.) Overpass - That map has so many elevations and many open and small angles, any weapons can be used effectively. As a T you can rotate fast through connector, and as a CT you can hold the site with excellent cover. Overall almost perfect map.
People seem to have forgotten how unpopular Nuke was at the start of this game. Even the graphics overhaul didn't really help. I know the balance was horrible before the current iteration, it's just crazy that it was common to queue 5+ mins for what is now the second most popular map.
The next "Mirage" of CS:GO could definetly be Tuscan. It's my new favorite map and has potential to be just as competetively viable if people gave it time.
There is to much detail id say to make it viable for competitive in pro games, but i agree it could totally become a player favorite.
mid needs tweaks but yea it could be a big map for casual players as well as competitive
Nah, way too many angles to check and the map is overall kind of boring, just feels like a chore to play.
@@despair268 For B site I would have to agree but mollies can make retaking/pushing either of the sites way easier but I respect your take nonetheless we all enjoy different maps
Ok so my personal opinions:
Best Defuse map: Dust 2 or Cach (Honorable Mention: Infeno)
Best Hostage map: Insertion II
Best Demolition map: Lake (Honorable Mention: Safe House)
Best Flying Scoutsman: Dizzy
Best Combat Surf map: Surf_Japan
Best Wingman Map: Rialto
And Best of the newer maps that I haven't played enough to make a full Decision on: Tuscan
dust 2 is the nuketown of cs. been in all the games, always a quick queue if you want to play it. and new players/people who never played the game only know about that map.
CT side... Inferno, Utility being key along with rotations makes this fun whilst still being a simple enough map to play to a decent standard even in PUGs
T side, probably Overpass, I like the size, Awping T side is great, you can play with rotations with the open sky boxes. Site take utility is hard to coordinate without a proper team but for picks and defaulting I like it a lot. Mirage is also good T side in a PUG compared to other maps.
if I were with a 5 stack of competent players it'd have to be Nuke. played properly and with info shared through a lot of sound qeues its a fantastic map all around.
I can't believe Inferno is where it is, I absolutely hate it it's always felt so cramped to me
A boxplot for each map would have been great. Average gets the average but does NOT show how widespread the consensus is :) Edit: Yes the chart kinda does that but a boxplot is easier to read
Mathematician here,
Boxplot does not work with this survey as there are only 5 possible values for each map.
