ahhh I remeber one very cool oldschool cs map that EVERYONE played, extremeley popular............de_bunker!!! A couple of maps that suck: dust_2, survivor, storm, torn, aztec, and a few others. Oh and 1 more thing when i have kids in the near future, instead of bedtime stories, they will be treated with cstrike a quake 2 stories j/k j/k, only cstrike cuz quake 2 blows (btw rizzah is also the web master for the quake sieries fan site) . cool baby picture, if u tell me where u live i can tell your baby cstrike stories ;-)

and inferno doesnt have much of a "cs" story behind it so its not good (but fun to paly)

[Rufus!]

I think the 3 new added maps in CS (de_storm de_survivor & de_torn) are the worst maps in cs, but thats my opinion

WORST MAPS in order - and everything else is playable

cs_747&&&

de_survivor&*

de_storm&

as_oilrig*

cs_siege&

cs_backalley*

cs_office&

cs_estate&

cs_assault (not UPC which rocks)*



I think that these maps are bad for two reasons: * marks the ones that are unbalanced and can get real shitty real fast and & marks the ones that aren't designed with CS in mind or are just boring. These maps blow chunks.

WARNING - unusually large post from that 'de_dust' guy... whatsisface...

I agree with the many people who dislike de_survivor. Its layout is confusing, the situation and overall atmosphere seems more than a littel bit odd, and it's not a heck of a lot of fun to play. Survivor needs to go away.

de_surviver... oh yeah, I played it once...



That's my point.

Dust isn't deathmatchy either. There is plenty of teamplay. Get a microphone for the love of god and learn what teamplay really is. It's usually not the map that ruins teamplay, it's the people who are playing on your team. And you.

Or do what I do, and don't sound like an 11-year old by downloading a Simpsons .wav and using that instead. Sound it after every kill and after each time your team wins. Oh, and if someone replies correctly(for example, "Hi Dr. Nick" back in my case) then don't sound it again for 3 minutes.



"Hi Evareyboday!" - Dr. Nick. Mwehehe... that's me.

747 has definitely become total trash. This map should be removed from CS, it's a failure.

I concur.

My least favorite map would definitely be backalley. [...] Anyway, i simply cant stand the map, its quite possibly the most retarded map ever thought up in cs history, the jeepathon maps are more of a challenge then backalley!

Backalley is in my opinion, one of CS's better maps, but the learning curve puts players off - they want quick-bouted gameplay like Dust, and Backalley doesn't provide that until you've learnt the map. I've had some of my best, most fun (hostage-jumping mehehe) and most exciting games on Backalley - give it some time, and you'll wish you got to know it sooner.



Actually, looking at the map stats, its the ones that are easier to learn that seem to be the most popular... generally.

de_cbble... has a lot of "lame" things that players can abuse.

Nah, that sniper tower is never abused. Nor is the sniper room (by the CT start, or the dark alley. Or the steep ramps and the hidden corners either side. Or the awkward crates...

DaveJ's other, other, other map, cs_radiorze (set to be included in CS: CZ, without my name) is actually a pretty bad map.

SO SO true... but no one seems to ever had admitted that to me (meaning I've thought that maybe it was a good one...) other than the professionals at Gearbox. It was a messed and convoluted attempt to make a map that looked better than cs_office. Gameplay took the back-seat. I just had to reassure myself that Dust wasn't the extent of my eye-candy abilities.



In that respect, I'm glad Gearbox took it off me to fix. Yet I feel kind of guilty that I even let them take it - it was probably not worth their effort. But I don't know. I have no idea what they've done to it. Maybe it plays like a dream now. All I know is that it would have taken me a lot of work to get it to play as well as some of the other maps.



My other map for Gearbox I am quite proud of though. But yet again, the only people who gave me any comments on it had only looked at it, and not been given the long chance to dissect it and determine if it was really as playable as one would hope.

What a disappointment for the CS community. Our little title image up top (with the lightning) was supposed to feature de_torn in the background. I was really confident that it'd be popular in CS 1.3. After the release, however, it was obvious that this map was just plain horrible.

You might remember I made an (somewhat cryptic) update on my page a few days before 1.3 came out, signalling how Dust was about to lose its throne to Torn. The hype had even managed to convince me that Dust was about to head straight to Mansion-ville... and I never played the map. Never. Not even to this day. Jealousy? Most probably.



But we all know what the best best best map is don't we? And the worst worst worst one.



Sorry.

[Highpinger]

dammit de_rizzuh sucked.

[Bigrichard]

Man I really dislike survivor and 747.

[No Name]

de_prodigy is the worst map ever made, cs_arabstreets sux also
