Counter Strike map names

[Hazar]

I feel like a noob asking this (I am a noob when it comes to cs, only been playing 2 weeks), but what does the 'de_' in front of the map names mean? For example, de_dust.

Shouldn't they be 'cs_'?

 

[brink's]

de_ means it is a bomb map, where ts plant and cts defuse
cs_ means it is hostage map like office.

 

[Hazar]

Oh. Duh.

but aren't they abbreviations?

DEfuse?
Counter Strike?

CS was the original game type. When Counter-Strike was first made there were only cs_ maps, so they just used the initials of Counter-Strike. The DE (Defuse), AS (Assault), and ES (Escape) game types were added in later betas. By then, it was probably too late to change CS to HR or RE (Hostage Rescue) because there were so many maps following the current naming system.

[brink's]

I haven't played hostage rescue in ages but I loved the big hotel one where you had to escape to the roof... I hope this gets remade for source, there's a lot of gameplay left in that lil map.

as_highrise! Highrise was fun, but, get this.. you know how there's the bug in the HL engine where you can be pushed through roofs?

You can boost the VIP through the CT spawn ceiling in that map right into the rescue zone :O

[booogerhead]

as_highrise and as_oilrig... the forgotten legends.

 

[brink's]

I hope they bring back cs_docks!!

 

[ShadowFox]

Yeah.. Highrise was sweet. Docks was meh.

I miss Vegas.

 

[Computer5k]

AIM_ small map with the same gun for each team.

 

[Yuri]

Can do a similar thing in oilrig at the ct spawn it got the vip to the escape point nice and quickly. Also, using the exploit in assault was funny as well - popping up in the corner of the roof allowing you to shoot all the ct's on the roof in the back. Baha. Man I hated that map.

 

[Computer5k]

How do you go through the ceiling?

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Yeah.. Highrise was sweet. Docks was meh.

I miss Vegas.

i miss Vegas as well.. i don't understand why that map never caught on..

 

[Snakebyte]

I hope they bring back cs_docks!!

A remade docks in CS:S would be awesome. I haven't played that map in so long, it would be a nice change.

100% true.

Ugh it was horrible. It also had a terrible glitch in it if it was played on a Cheating Death Server. If you came down the back way from T Spawn (down to where the elvis mic is) the terrorists would be completely invisible as they rushed down the stairs into the room.

Hated that glitch. It made me cry.

The same glitch occurred on de_prodigy if you were in the beams at the T spawn

 

[Hazar]

the map caused that glitch?

why?

lol... silly me.

I had just finished playing a game of Assault in UT2K4 before I posted that... and I wrote "Assault" instead of "Assassination." :E

I believe AS was assasination, and i always wanted to play escape!! what was it like???

yeah, sure it was glitchy and all.. but when played fairly it was still a fun map to play.. at least thats how i remember the map..

 

[nw909]

Put the shovel down Freeman, put it down.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Put the shovel down Freeman, put it down.

but...but...but.. i was only.. gah!
nevermind

 

[CrazyHarij]

KZ is short of Kreedz since he came up with the first jumpmaps.

Then there are KA maps, knife arena. I think FY stands for FunnY, i.e fun maps, less serious maps.

 

[h00dlum]

Escape sucked, The terrorists start at the begining of a map and has to run to the a goal on the other side on the map with a time limit and without dying ..it was not fun at all..i dont remember much of it..

And im not sure DE stands for Defusal, if i remember correctly it means Demolition. Thats what it said on the official CS site a few years back..i could be mistaken tho..
