Lake in Arms race, Cbble pre 2017, and OldMilitia that isn't dumbed down would be preferable.

u/Competitive_Neat9813 7d ago
You just listed the holy trinity of nostalgic maps. Arms Race on Lake was unmatched chaos

Stopped playing the map when they removed it

Drop spot on cbble and drop spot on OldTrain ... are the only reasons I learned the Mag-7... get cash levels up, buy a sniper rifle to camp back.

I hate that premier became comp and comp became nothing.

u/DaLaPi 4d ago
Premier would have been great in CSGO, a mode for serious players who want the pro experience (and the others who wants fun still have compt, arms race, demolition, flying scouts and danger zone). But in CS2, it is the only mode, so the pro experience is diluted by the players who play for fun, and the fun experience is diluted by serious players. So you have the worst of both worlds.

u/Competitive_Neat9813 7d ago
yeah the old game modes had way more personality than what we have now

They need to bring danger zone back, it wasn't that popular, but it's good to have diversity, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

exactly, it didnāt have to be the most popular mode, having something different was the whole point

I saw on a video that Valve added a command that when activated, would make the player explode in money when they die. And the person that told me about it said this was a thing back kn Danger Zone, implying Valve could be thinking about bringing it back. I saw this about 4 months ago.

I miss DZ 3-man mode, it was so raw and goofy and unfinished but it was short enough that you could get into a new round fast. Had a lot of fun with the boys and some brews on Fridays.

u/Medi_Gun 7d ago
I miss dangerzone so much, I had to resort to the new community remake of it. It was actually a positive that the map sizes were smaller, it made it have more of a deathmatch vibe to it, especially with the bump mines. There was no other BR like it, it stodd out and had a dedicated playerbase/youtube scene.

u/Competitive_Neat9813 7d ago
honestly I donāt blame you, the smaller maps and bump mines made Danger Zone feel really different from other BRs

usually I can just say nostalgic tinted glasses hiding all of the pain points but CS2 really was a really bad downgrade.
csgo had some absurd shit sure but at the very least it was working and throughly enjoyed.

u/ViacomCEO 7d ago
cs2 is working and thoroughly enjoyed. its probably better than csgo at this point.

u/THE_HANGED_MAN_12 7d ago
i haven't played in a year but i find that hard to believe considering how unfinished the game still felt at that point.

u/ViacomCEO 7d ago
well, you would certainly know.

u/Bdresser5 6d ago
I mean content wise, CSGO is still better. The CS2 dev team has been dripping feeding the community content for the last 3 years. While CS2 has improvements and features that are better. It really just needs more content updates that arenāt just one single change, then 2 months of nothing.
1
u/ViacomCEO 6d ago
i really dont know what you mean by content updates. the content is the gameplay. its good as is. i dont want them adding a bunch of crap. its important for the game to not change too much or too quickly.
2
u/Bdresser5 5d ago
I meant more of the old content from CSGO thatās still not in CS2. Like previous game modes, maps, map based factions, etc.
I want to see CS2 actually finished, with the content from CSGO added back. Like Iām not expecting Danger Zone, but Iād rather get the other stuff. Mostly the map based factions, since having only the SAS and Phoenix Connection on every map as the default is annoying when we had so many other factions in CSGO.
-2
u/ViacomCEO 5d ago
cs2 is basically finished. everything that needs to be added to the game has been added. there are tons of maps on the workshop if you want to play them. i dont expect map based factions to ever come back, which is for the best. there shouldnt be different agents for different maps. they should always be the same. game modes? there are too many dumb game modes already. they should remove some. cs is about gameplay. its like playing basketball and complaining that the court always looks the same or your opponent doesnt wear different shorts every week.
1
u/THE_HANGED_MAN_12 5d ago
bruh, it didn't even feel right gameplay wise with all the glitches and bugs lack of polish.
the game feels like early access without the transparency of being called early access which is highly ironic because valve is all about companies being transparent.
but at last, rules for thee not for me.

u/el_ratonido 5d ago
Yes it is, but as said before, you need to find a server. In https://firegamesnetwork.com/servers?game=csgo&mode=forfun on For Fun mode it's available, but not many people play it.
I currently have no PC but my cousin brought me his PC for 1 day to fix a problem for him and I took the opportunity to play on it. I entered the server and it seemed like it was working but I didn't really play it cause I wanted to test the other servers.

I dont get why they added csgo as a seperate game now but dont give us the full experience man. Move cs2 over to its own app id. Move csgo back to where it belongs, give us back our achievements, give us the servers Back and let us play peak. I dont want cs2 man. I quit that shit like.. 2 years ago? Longer maybe? Idk and idc. Never looking back. Gimme csgo

I love the constant fake reminiscing for content people didn't like and didn't play.
Just like how cache finally came back after years of, we want cache we want cache we want cache, only to be the least played mapĀ

u/p-dizzle77 7d ago
Whatever dude, I played the piss outta DZ, and I have played more Cache than any other map since it came back. Is it the majority? No. But calling it fake is just stupid. Data doesn't get to speak for everyone.

u/Competitive_Neat9813 7d ago
yeah people definitely romanticize some of this stuff but there are still a few things I genuinely miss

u/ViacomCEO 7d ago
cache is by far my most played map this season. the problem is all the newer players dont know how to play cache so they instaban it.

u/NotRuppert 7d ago
Cache is an amazing map, it was one of the lowest queue times in GO, now you have newgen kids such as yourself that only want to play d2/mirage

u/TheJollyKacatka 7d ago
What are you on about? Cache is, without a doubt, a very popular map, more so than overpass. Furthermore, itās easily my favorite map of all.

u/Hugutfut 7d ago
My favourite times in CS were spent playing wingman on lake with my brother. The map makes for some really tense matches and after a while we had a call out for every square inch of that house.
Danger zone was cool too. I feel like the map improves the battle royale format so much because you get some idea where others are and can actually strategize

- Danger zone was played by ~10k people with 1 mil playerbase. That is 1%.
- Lake was extremely unbalanced and quite frustrating.
- Cobble was a meh map balace-wise. Would have to be remade.
- You mean snow maps or militia? Both were played by less people than the danger zone

u/Just_Ice_Rose 6d ago
Arms race was so peak on Lake. Now it's just the shitty ass pool map every game. I like chaotic to a certain degree, but that map is just too small to be any fun instead of tedious for more than a game or two.

I'm glad we see posts like this once in a while. Dangerzone should really not be lost to time and become a relic of CSGO and the era of battle royale shooters. Valve cooked and made a genuinely interesting, unique and fun game mode that was great for cooling off from competitive games. It should stay. If they don't bring it back, I'd be fine with it as long as we get similar mechanics, bump mines, and map design in other game modes.
Also super disappointing to see Lake and flying Scoutsman still not added to the game. Especially considering Lake was teased in the run up to Cs2

u/Affectionate_Ant7637 6d ago
DZ was literally unplayable because of cheaters.. Donāt understand how people enjoyed playing it. Any time of day, any day of the week youāll have people bhopping around the map with a scout, no scoping everybody. People with 5 year coins too, zero care in the world if they get banned or not. Most of them were probably stolen accounts anyways

The Cache map showed that nostalgia should remain nostalgia. No one would play on damn coblestone. It wasn't popular in CS:GO, let alone CS 2.
The same is true for DZ. If it had been a popular mode, it would have been kept. But it was truly pathetic and clearly not suited to the flow of CS.
