I like Nuke because I've played it a million times and know it pretty well and it isn't too cluttered and is simple and fun. Also I can run around with a SMG and only be sort of useless instead of completely useless.

Dust II is cool until the AWPs come out, but I recently put a 20 cent sticker on a cheap scout skin a friend gave me so I am ready to get with some sick headshots :downsgun:

what does this mean

The maps are CT favored more than usual. For instance getting 5~ rounds as T side on a map like Nuke is a great half.

The problem with the Ts on that map is that they always try to walk it in.

The problem with the Ts on that map is that they don't just try to drop into vents every round so it's over quickly.

Is there a list of a general consensus of which map is sided which way? And, ideally, why they're sided the way they are?

There's this from the csgo website. I'm not sure about any in depth essays about them.
Except for volcanoes blogpost about the train remake he attempted last year.

E: and this video about his nuke remake, which eventually just became the stock nuke.

Is that also why hostage rescue isn't played competitively? Like, do the CTs just get screwed over hard on ever map?

That poo poo tho



E: Also hostage maps rely on AI which nobody wants to deal with competitively.
They had a great idea in having you carry the hostage over your shoulder, and only need to capture one hostage, so getting one of the two on the map back kinda simulated a reverse site take. It has the potential to work now but the damage is already done. The way things are now is the way for 10 years and they'll be like that for 10 more.

I actually used to REALLY look forward to playing aztec in CAL matches. My first CAL-o playoff match in like 2002 (holy poo poo) was on aztec and we rocked the other team. I actually liked playing prodigy as well, so there's probably just something wrong with me.

Bonus CAL-o match screenshot from 2002, you had to take one at the end of each half because the server had no way of auto-switching players and remembering the scores. Also you only played 12 rounds per half instead of 15. Not uncommon to see 11-1 CT scores on aztec, it was even worse than nuke in that way. And the game looked terrible:

I started playing 1.6 11 years ago and like a lot of other college morons was super addicted and spent all my time in our clan server. I was there in the server 4 years later when it was finally unplugged with us all in there and it was a weird feeling. I don't know that I miss having a server to call home (sub.io) but it just seems more irrelevant now with the MM in CS:GO.

I would play the gently caress out of Prodigy. That was my favourite map for all the wrong reasons. Mainly those occasional opportunities to completely circle around behind the enemy teams and destroy them in a sequential Deagle execution-style blowout.

I'd also love to see CS_Siege again, complete with APC... but that's just dreaming.

The funny part is it actually only broke them for Linux servers. They were trying to push updates to get ready for a Linux launch, and somehow broke it on Linux, Windows servers running metamod/Sourcemod were fine.

They remade siege in an earlier operation actually, but it wasn't the same.
