The CS Crossfire has posted a new article from guest writer [RNP]Venom questioning whether the ultra-popular de_dust should still be played.
Our Dust 24/7 Server, with its 18-player maximum, had over 14,000 UNIQUE players connect to it last month. What is the fascination with Dust? Is it the best-balanced Counter-Strike map, offering the fairest chance for either side? Doubtful. How about the best looking? Far from it. Dust is a map that many of today's CS players can relate to, having probably spent a good deal of their playing careers in its winding, golden caverns. It has been one of the most popular CS Maps since its inception in Beta 4, and today still holds the crown of the most played map of any FPS on the Internet. However, is it time to sweep away this Dust and embrace some of the newer maps?Enjoy the article and then post your two cents.
