Thread: dust 2

dust 2 can get boring at times, but its still a classic and when i think counter-strike dust 2 pops in my mind

im with joe on this one i dont really care for dust2, its allright but we play i tway to much i mean lets get some other maps in rotation plzzzz

oh cmon, dust2 is the best map and now we have dust2_night is fun too

Dust 2 is so overplayed it's become engrained as a classic.

I'll agree that we switch to D2 a little too often, sometimes it seems we'll play dust2 twice out of every 5 maps.

Regardless, I I still enjoy the map, especially T side. If you've got a competent team, you can come up with some of the most wicked, complicated strats and just keep the CTs guessing.

I personally hate being on the server when the only call made is "split long and short" 70% of the time and "rush B" the other 30%, and then the team gets demoralized after you continually get owned. Of course you're going to get owned if you're only attacking the opposition from 2 different ways.

And for the record: slow-playing will only work if more than 3 of the CTs are continually rushing you. If you're just getting lit up as soon as you walk into B or cross through long/short, it's not because they're rushing you. You're just not doing something right.

Actually a split A rush will work continually if a team can pull it off correctly. I rarely make complicated calls if a team is unable to successfully pull off a simple rush.

and then the team gets demoralized after you continually get owned Those were the key words. Yeah, if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. But if it ISN'T WORKING time after time, it's time to try something different. There's nothing difficult or complicated about smoking mid and rushing B. Nor is there anything complicated about smoking mid and having a split-B rush.

I honestly dont understand why more Mid rushes arnt called.... Mid to B or Mid to B tunnels or Short A flash to mid to A... or whatever. It always seems like a split A.. or Full B rush is called like you said pineapple.

But i also dont get why people complain about Dust2... it is by far the most evenly balanced and enjoyed by all map in CSS and i honestly have yet to see someone actually refuse to play it. Sure they may feel its overplayed.. or bitch a little about it being picked once again... but they still play it and most of the time enjoy it. Hell i feel its overplayed in terms of just how often its played... but as i love the map... im not complaining... ^.^

Get on my team, sL!ppY! When I'm making calls, I try and stick away from split-A calls as much as possible, simply because I know that's how the other team will normally be set-up. Then as soon as they start getting used to the mid-rushes, the delays, the fakes, and the around the worlds, then I go back to old faithful split A for a few rounds, then mix it up again!
