Cs, De?

[Wraith]

what does 'cs' and 'de' stand for? i mean i know cs is counterstrike but before map names (de_dust etc) what do those initials mean? thanks.

 

[Waffles]

Demolition, it's when the objective is to attack/defend a bomb site.

1st post, yay! :afro:

 

[ThomasToad]

For some reason I always thought it was for defusal or defuse map. I'm sure Waffles is right though

 

[Hazar]

I heard it was defuse too.

could be either though.

btw, what do you mean waffles? it's not your first post.

 

[Dalamari]

First post in thread is what he means.

 

[Wraith]

Oh, duh

cs_ indicates a hostage situation, the original type of map in cs.

see this thread

CS, I assume, is just short for Counter-Strike. I also assume that Hostage Rescue was the initial gametype in Counter-Strike, so when new gametypes were added, cs_ was attributed to hostage rescue maps. (I've only been playing since 1.0, so I might be wrong.)

DE = demolition/defuse, basically a map where terrorists plant a bomb.

ES = escape, where half the terrorist team has to make it to an exit point alive. No longer an "official" gametype.

AS = assassination. A CT player is designated the VIP, and must make it to an escape point alive, while the terrorists try to kill the VIP to end the round.

I'm not sure what FY is for, maybe the initials of the guy who made Iceworld, and now fy is attributed to DM-style maps where you must pick up your weapons instead of buying them.

HE- Grenade maps

 

[nw909]

FY = **** You

KZ = Kreedz (I think)

That's a shame, I always enjoyed ES maps

That's a shame, I always enjoyed ES maps

Me too. nobody plays those maps anymore thats a shame

 

[Punzz]

Why did they take the ES maps out? I mean es_frantic was my favourite map back in Beta 6. They seem to leave disgusting maps like Havana in and never seem to take any poorly made gameplay maps out these days. Frustrates me!
[SARCASM]Its probably because there will be a lot of backfire from the public "OMG WE WANT 'insert gay map' back"[/SARCASM]

These are the people who removed cs_docks.. after that happend I figured CS was bound to go down hill and I was right

 

[Raxxman]

ES maps suffer the problem of being somewhat littered with bugs and often really don't work without decent teamwork. As such the VIP often gets left on his own while l337 CS's get blown away running around like tards.

That said I loved ES with the right people.

I seem to recall that there was a bug in cs_docks where if you went into some secret room, it would change the map and everyone would have to download firearms

Its defusion (de)

Cs stands for Counter-Strike because those were the original maps for Counter-Strike.

 

[Stigmata]

OT, it's great how there's a thread about this exact same thing, and in half the time it's gotten twice the number of replies

 

[A True Canadian]

I thought fy = For You, as in free weapons for you (a gift ).

ANd I wish they had a nostalgia server for old, old maps. I missed playing maps like cs_docks and really want to give them a try.

 

[iamaelephant]

Man cs_docks kicked so much ass I miss it, was probably my favorite map of all time (except cs_militia, please tell me that one is still in). I haven't played since 1.1, thats when the game really turned to shit. All the retail morons came and started making cheats and generally being dorks.

Cs_docks would really look good if they used that E3 2004 map they made last year for HL2, with a little changes of course. I'm thinking that's not an actual in-game map for HL2, as last year was just for the source tech demo.
