The newest addition to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' s lineup of maps is the level "Zoo." Also added to the list of maps playable in competitive mode is a map called "Workout." The level Zoo is located in San Fransisco Bay. While walking through the map of Zoo, you may hear a lot of animal noises such as monkeys and birds. Unfortunately, you won't see those animals since its only fish that can be found in Zoo. The concept of Zoo works well, but the map may need some adjustments before it can be considered a top CS: GO
Over time Overpass would receive numerous adjustments and tweaks to balance out the map and most would be well-received. Today the map is praised for its balance and unpredictable nature but remembered infamously for the "Fnatic/Olof boost" of 2013. During the fourth CS:GO Major at DreamHack Winter 2013 the professional player Olof "olofmeister" Gustafsson from the Swedish team Fnatic utilized an exploit known as "pixel walking" to gain an advantageous position against the opposing t
As one of the oldest and most storied maps in competitive Counter-Strike history, Jo Bieg's creation in BETA 4.0 of the original Counter-Strike mod has seen iterations and remakes across every single game. Needless to say, Nuke is iconic and up there with the likes of Inferno and Dust II. Due to its reputation, it was the second map to receive a significant revision to not only update the aesthetic but also resolve issues that have persisted for ye
The iconic and definitive FPS Counter-Strike has definitely made waves over the years. Since its first outing two decades ago, Counter-Strike has been the go-to shooter series for PC players. Attaining over 1 million concurrent players earlier this year , this beast of a game is stronger than e
While Wildermyth has received controller support, using a gamepad to play this game is nowhere near as intuitive as a mouse and keyboard. There's a reason why this game constantly needs updates to make the controller more viable to play while the mouse and keyboard controls have remained fairly intact and preferred by m
While the qualifying stage is difficult, it gives smaller teams like CR4ZY a large amount of exposure and allows them to compete with the best teams in the world. If CS:GO were to franchise, teams like Crazy would never have the chance to play on the biggest stage as the buy-in amount would be too expensive for most young teams. We would be left with the same 16-20 teams every year, each trying to outdo the other and each taking away young talent from teams who don't have the funds to compete. Sure, there would be upsets, but nothing like what was there before. Each year there's a team that comes out of nowhere to shock the CS:GO world and that's part of what makes big tournaments so much fun to wa
While its damage and accuracy aren't bad, the CZ75 fails as an automatic. The bullet count doesn't support the fire rate, therefore it can prove to be useless as an automatic weapon, leaving fans disappointed in the final prod
Fallout: StatTrak Factory New Vegas is held in high regard by many as one of the best games in the entire series. It combines the role-playing aspects of past Fallout games with the technical achievements of later 3D titles to make for an experience that is genuinely the best of both wor
It'll work if you can't afford something else, by sheer virtue of being a gun. However, you're likely better off banking your money and roughing it for one round so you can pick up something a bit more practical during the next
Office is a hostage rescue map that is considered great for many reasons. First of all, Office might be the most balanced map in CS: GO , meaning neither attackers nor defenders have an advantage. Eliminating the other team may prove to be difficult because of the map's various hallways. Best played through competitive mode, Office provides many path options. Securing all hallways leading to hostages is critical for the defending team. Office is exceedingly popular and has been remade four times since the first Counter-Strike g
As the newest map to be introduced into the active pool, Anubis has had some controversy upon its inclusion, to say the least. Designed by Roald, jakuza, and jd40, the map was first added to the game on March 31, 2020, to the Scrimmage mode before eventually being moved to Competitive 10 days later. This is notable as it was only the second map to be added to Competitive via this method as before this Cache was the only one to make it. Given this fact, there seemed to be a lot of positive feedback for the map since Cache is a very well-loved
Of all the map revisions, Inferno is likely the most faithful to the original with so little changed that it would be more apt to call it a facelift. Then again, it's not all that surprising so little was changed about the map since there were very few flaws with the map in general. Inferno is renowned for the balance it provides on both T and CT-sides, the high skill ceiling for players/teams to master the map, and endless replayability at the casual and professional lev
