Why de_dust?

[He@t!]

I mean seriously why??

Dust is so 1 sided.From all the maps that our very fair to t and ct's they pick dust =/

 

[bgesley426]

You can make an arguement that every map is one-sided. I'm glad they used classic dust.

 

[DoctorGordon]

God i hate that map.

I dont get why everyone likes that.

 

[Carnage_333]

dust is ok. maybe a little one sided but what map would be the alternative? most ppl would want aztec, the most awp friendly map ever, and IMO the most one sided map ever.

a better map would prolly have been dust2, since i consider it to be the most even.

I wish it was aztec tho only because by the time hl2 is released every1 mite be bored of aztec by then. oh well i spose the same will happen to dust now :/

 

[RogueShadow]

It's not that it's one sided, it's just every server ends up being stacked.

 

[-JeZ-]

de_prodigy would be a better map as it's fairly balanced IMO. If the T's go through the garage then the CT's will be waiting for them, but if theyy go the ramp/tunnel way the T's have the advantage.

 

[Liam]

dust is probably the most balanced map after dust2.

you avatar drives me crazy :rolling: can't stop watching it :E

 

[KagePrototype]

They chose de_dust because it is the most popular map on Counter-Strike.

And I disagree that it's one-sided. I've seen Terrorists, as well as CTs, winning a lot.

 

[westie]

I quite like Dust actually although there are plenty of other good ones they could have had.

 

[Art_Crime]

Well, as far as balanced goes, aztec is BY FAR the most balanced map, with the most interesting things to do, epic clashes, etc.

BUT, dust was the first CS map, and is the most classic map. It was the first map I played all those years ago.

So, the reason is because dust is a classic and it was the first CS map.

 

[bgesley426]

Once CT has 4 awps its not balanced at all.

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

I hope they will convert some of the really old classics like forest, facility, arabstreet and all the golden oldies bring back some escape maps as well ..

Ah .. The good old days.

 

[Naudian]

What i want to see is a map with hostages! I wonder if theyre any smarter now? Or if they still all look the same...Itd be cool if they made the hosties have real advanced AI - and things like if the Ts started shooting them theyd run away n stuff...meh.

Also i want to see the terrorist's bomb explosion more realistic - I think they should have the huge hollywood explosions with the bomb instead of that weak looking one they have now (not talking about nades, those look good)

 

[kelisis]

They picked de_dust because it's one of the most popular stateside. Also, yes the CT's have a slight advantage, but whichever team rushs usally ends up winning. I've played a million games as T and are team rushed and we just dominated the map even though the CT's have a slight advantage.

 

[random.hero]

oilrig...

 

[Liam]

Lies....

 

[B.Calhoun]

oilrig...

Oilrig would be fun but T's have such an advange.

 

[iamaelephant]

Should have been cs_docks

 

[Alec_85]

They should've remade the de_dust_cz instead. It's sooo much better imho

 

[HunterSeeker]

cs_milita and de_survivor are my favorite maps.

 

[Razor]

cs_assault is the best map of all time.

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

cs_assault is the most UNEVEN map of all time.

fixed!

 

[Dynasty]

he does have a point tho. cs_assault is a t camper's paradise. the ct's HAVE to go in through vents, main door or the noisy and extremely obvious side door.

anyway, valve should OFFICIALLy release something like aztec on cs:s beta, as dust gets very boring after a while. i know that hl2 is just coming around the corner, and so is cs:s for that matter, but valve: give us some form of compensation while we are patiently waiting....again.

and where the hell have these other maps come from on cs:s??? so much for valve's security lol :E

They are made with the beta, and mostly suck.

Oh my god! Arabstreets! I absolutely loved that map! Good times... dunno why everybody hated it so much that they pulled it eventually.. ;(

Don't know either. They pulled all the best maps over the years. I can't remember the names of most classics, but they are all in my mind. I especially remeber the map where you start of in a boat that goes through some tunnels, as_riverside or something ??Maybe I'll install CS Classic later on and play by myself.

At least they've kept assault, siege, militia and prodigy in the cs cycle. Prodigy rocks btw. Hope to see it in CS:S.

 

[Edcrab]

I love de_survivor, but no decent server ever seems to run it. Hmmph.

As for cs_assault, I have no idea why people tolerate that when far better remakes roam the net. To some extent, same goes for cs_militia, a map I love playing as T for obvious reasons...

 

[CrazyHarij]

cs_assault is the best map of all time.

I liked CS_assault when I used to play CS, although it should be renamed CS_camping, sometimes a single match can be painfully slow if the Terrorists won't let the CTs in and the CTs won't let the Terrorists out.

I'm pretty sure Dust wasn't the first map. It was just the first map of its kind, the defuse scenario?

I think Dust2 would've been a better map, as its easier to play that for a month straight as opposed to Dust.

And for those asking for more maps, give me the CS:S beta.

 

[nw909]

Dust was NOT the first counter-strike map.

The first test maps were just half-life and TFC to test models.

Then they finally had cs_mansion

 

[evil^milk]

what does "de_" stand for? and "as_" and stuff.

i like cs_militia.

 

[Xailia]

cs_ - Counter-Strike
de_ - Demolition/Detonate/Destroy
as_ - Assassination
es_ - Escape

cs_ was Beta 1+ (cs_siege, cs_mansion, cs_wpndepot and cs_prison were the first maps)
de_ was Beta 4+ (de_nuke, de_dust and de_prodigy were the first maps)
as_ was Beta 6+ (as_oilrig and as_riverside were the first maps)
es_ was Beta 6-? (es_jail and es_frantic were the first maps)

(Info from the ReadMe)

I think they should have included a cs map and a de map.

Assault & Dust... they are the most popular of each gametype

 

[Asus]

what does "de_" stand for? and "as_" and stuff.

i like cs_militia.

DE = Defuse Bomb Mission maps
CS = Counter-Strike Hostage Rescue maps
AS = Assasination (VIP) maps
ES = Escape maps

 

[Carnage_333]

i want the beta to hurry up and finish so we can actually play sum new maps :/

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Yeah, we still have to wait for hl2, so the beta is good right now.
