    dust 1 really isn't, unless something has changed drastically. It was considered shit and unbalanced in both 1.6 and CSS, at least among the people I played with.
    As for dust2, it's just a winning design. Memorable, simple, but with tactical depth. Even if professional play of it ends up being a bit overaggressive and "deathmatch-like".

      Why are de_dust and de_dust2 so popular compared to other CS maps?

      plenty of maps are popular man, it's just happens that dd2 gets played the most because call outs are known from pop culture

      A lot of good maps faded until obsuctity like
      Assault
      Havana
      737

      frick even pool day, that was a fun map

          it's slightly T sided, much less then a lot of maps that overstayed their welcome, it wasn't the best map but it wasn't by "bad" by any means

        I hate that the map pool has stagnated so much. bring back cobble, aztec and add more maps while you're at it. old classics? fresh new ones? just fricking do it volvo. and make the pros play them too. if I were an oil baron, I'd host a million dollar tournament with only new maps and give everyone like a month to train them before the tournament begins.

            Its fricking stupid they removed cobble and aztec

            yeah and they never bothered to bring them back for the matchmaking. then again, they only have like 2 devs on the game just fixing bugs and community to make the skins so I guess that's to be expected. csgo is a fun game but I wish they did something with it.

            hmm? oil barons probably have way more than just one million, so why not invest in something fun? do you hate fun?

    Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

    Dust 2 has a lot of interesting choke points which allow for a nice mix of CQC, sniping and verticality. With most maps at a competitive level, it's about general strategies, but Dust 2 has been ubiquitous for so long that there's lots of mindgames teams will play with each other that add a lot of excitements.

    Plus considering Counter-Strike was ostensibly made after Desert Storm, and is tangentially related to Delta Force it's only natural that the most played map is in Terrorist Town.

      You're forgetting cs_office is in rotation, has a huge cult following and is actually pretty popular. Its one of the fastest maps to queue in (sometimes only behind dust2 but inferno and mirage defo are on top of it most of the time).

      Office is wild especially if the long hostage spawns. Long hostage+paper hostage is absolutely brutal and turns an otherwise T sided map into an actual balanced close quarters prefire & trade war.

      If you and your team have the utility usage all coordinated you can wreak havoc on either side.

    What the frick happened to CS? I've only recently started playing after pausing since CSGO was in beta and it's such a mess now. I thought it might be fun to play a bit of surf some Minigames and bhop but there are no cool servers left. Why do they basically force you to play official servers? Are zoomers to moronic to hit connect in the server list and favorite good ones?
    I mean even back then when I was playing css you could easily find 5v5, 3v3 etc. on IRC probably faster than this shitty matchmaking system when you had your own server. I loved CS back in the days but I don't know if I'm going to play this shit.

    Autists play the same thing over and over and fear any form of change. "Pros" actually suck wiener at the game and can't handle change either. That's why GO removed physics, because "pros" couldn't handle moving barrels.

    dust2 is super popular because its the most 5v5 balanced map in the game. its proved by the win rate statistics, where cts and t have a near 50/50 winrate in tournaments.
    meanwhile aztec and dust had something like 60/40 winrates that didn't change, and so valve removed them from rotation.
    aztec was "remade" as acient, while dust1 was turned into a 2v2 map
    acient is fine gameplay wise but the aesthetics suck dick, valve is moronic for not just changing aztec's layout into something more balanced
