I'd say there isn't much verity in the maps. you get to decide from; territory control in a desert environment, territory control in an industrial environment, or just to mix things up, Capture the flag in a desert-industrial environment.

That's like saying CSS is the same regardless of map because "its always about counter-terrorists trying to stop the terrorists from planting a bomb or holding hostages".

The main objective might be the same (territory control or CTF), but HOW you do it is what brings in the variety and fun. The map design determines a big portion of the "how".

as far as I know, CS only has two game modes as well. the bomb death match and hostage rescue. unless I am missing something here.
at any rate, click the link in the name. you might get a laugh out of this guy.

Any map besides 2fort! It's just painful to play through sometimes...

My all time favorite map is Dustbowl, followed by Well. Both maps have great teamplay aspects and require different tactics. Dustbowl is alot of fun to defend and gave me my alltime best medic scores. It is also one of the most misunderstood maps as far as public players go so it can be frustrating to be a defender with a clueless team.

Well can turn into some excellent carnage if a team gets pushed back to their last point but there is never a situation where the other team cant turn it around if they work hard enough.

Well is my favorite map, so Tug of War normal style.

**Silent_Crow** · 11-25-07, 03:29 AM

Ya, seriously can't stand 2fort. Offense/ Defense maps are my favorites. Dustbowl tops the list, and gravelpit is an interesting twist. Well and granary next with hydro at the bottom.

I like the CTF style, I just wish there was more than 1 ctf map.

**ComradeJim270** · 11-28-07, 05:40 PM

Anything but Hydro... that's just the most annoying map... "WHO'S ON OFFENSE!? WHO'S ON DEFENSE!? WHY IS THIS PATH BLOCKED!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?". By the time you find answers to these questions, you're on the last parts of the map, where everything is atrociously one-sided more often than not.

2Fort is alright... if not for 2Fort I'd almost never play anything other than Heavy or Medic.
