CS:GO map list revealed

4-12-2011 22:09

The Counter Strike: Global Offensive closed beta went live on November 30 and it seems that some avid fans has discovered the map list for the game.

The information started flowing around on the official Steam forums as the key holders analyzed in-game functionalities and game files, having found what seems to be the complete map list for the game itself. The list, located in the game's "maplist.txt" file lists 16 maps.

Valve's Chet Faliszek had already stated earlier this year that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive would feature 16 maps on three different platforms (PC, PS3 and XBOX 360) – eight classic maps and eight Gun Game maps. The Arsenal mode has two different approaches, demolition and arms race .

The maps listed in the file can be divided into two sections:

Classic maps

cs_italy
cs_office
de_aztec
de_dust
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_nuke
de_train

Arsenal mode maps

ar_baggage
ar_shoots
de_shorttrain
de_bank
de_lake
de_safehouse
de_sugarcane
de_stmarc

The "ar" maps stand for "arms race", traditionally known as gungame, while the "de" maps are a fusion between normal demoliton mode with the setup of a gungame match.

There will also be a bonus training map named "training1" which should be part of the "Training Course" tab in the game's menu. According with the information displayed in the console this local play mode will be a time trial practise course, similiar to the one featured in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes.

Relatively to other possible maps, there was also some speculation around a few console logs that pointed out some unknown map names such as:

de_mill
de_shacks
gg_vietnam

A campaign mode was also the target of speculation as a file named "missioncycle.txt" was found containing only 4 words inside: "airport, farm, hospital, smalltown" which could be a sign of things to come.

Stay tuned to HLTV.org as we will bring more Counter-Strike: Global Offensive news about the game's evolution.

great :D

Basically I didn't like any aspect of the game... even the graphics aren't good for a 2011 game. The sounds are terrible, the skins, the models, the maps are covered with a lot of objects, boxes, retarded things (pretty much like CSS), maybe it's a good game for PS3/X360 (like CoD series), but for PC it will be a huge fail... if you're talking about 5v5 professional tournaments

2011-12-05 09:33

It should look like a game made for e-sports, for professional 5v5 matches... not a game for 12 yo kids that play 10h per day on their PS3/X360 The 1.6 graphics are obviously shit, but the sounds are almost flawless, I can't find a fps with better sounds (the weapons sounds, the nades explosion sounds, it's very good imo, just compare it to CSS as an example)

2011-12-05 13:01

CS:GO made for e-sports? Therefore they're saying this requirement doesn't exist when asked them. Also, they're saying CS:GO isn't a game of skill? + They're updating CS:S, which means they're not trying to make CS:GO 1st place. It's more like CZ(both of them in old engines), and we know there'll be a CS2, so we can see CS2 in 1 year. and i think hltv.org will cover CS:GO until its release.

2011-12-05 15:01

"It should look like a game made for e-sports, for professional 5v5 matches... not a game for 12 yo kids that play 10h per day on their PS3/X360" Yeah, whatever. "The 1.6 graphics are obviously shit, but the sounds are almost flawless, I can't find a fps with better sounds (the weapons sounds, the nades explosion sounds, it's very good imo, just compare it to CSS as an example)" It serves it's purpose, but it isn't good. Not for a modern game anyway.

2011-12-05 18:11

While you're talking about a game made for esports, just wanted to remind you that CS1.6 isn't the perfect example and there are several games that are suited better for esports, and with you playing CS1.6 you make no point. What do maps "covered with lots of objects, boxes and retarded things" have to do with professional 5v5 tournaments? Wouldn't that actually force the players to use them and indirectly add more variety to the game with the players getting more options? Won't comment the sounds, but the graphics are good enough. If a game doesn't have ridiculously high resolution textures it doesn't mean that it has bad graphics. You should be happy about that since half of the CS1.6 community won't have to buy new PCs if they plan to switch. Instead of whining like a little kid because you don't like changes, you should be happy that the scene gets a brand new game whose developers actually care and work with the community in order to make it as good as possible.

they are going to change the gameplay, THAT'S A FACT with that fact in mind, it's easy to say it's a worse game than 1.6, coz 1.6 gameplay is flawless, perfect... so why I would change to a worst game? because it's new? because it has 10x better graphics? I don't care about graphics, if so I would play a game with REAL good graphics, like BF3 and MW3... for me it's all about: G-A-M-E-P-L-A-Y since the perfect 1.6 gameplay is gone in the new game, this game won't be good for me

2011-12-14 01:31

Define "perfect" gameplay?.... As I expected, you can't, because it's all matter of personal tastes. Competitively, Quake / Tribes are lot closer to perfect than 1.6, and your argument fails. And with that gameplay with no innovations in almost 10 years the game will slowly start to die. This is not football. You won't get almost any new players (since they're not really interested in starting the game casually), sponsors will slowly lose interest and the scene will last as long as the pro players play (although half of them will retire in the next several years I guess). At the end of the day, not lots of people care about these pro players. Remember, CS1.6 isn't the only game with pro players.

Perfect gameplay is: well defined pattern of sprays for each weapon, smooth movements and shooting, and the skills needed to shoot that makes CS fun to play, like strafe-shooting, quick-shoots with AWP, etc... that's what make CS unique and fun to play even after 10 or 11 years. The game isn't dying because of the lack of innovations, it's dying because of the newer games, that offer 100x better graphics and more realistic feeling than CS... and the new kids (10~15 years old) only care abouth graphics, no matter how shitty it's gameplay is. That's why sponsors lose interest on the game, because it's old and ugly, why would they want to spend $60.000 in a game like this (that can be played on super low-end computers) when they can spend $60.000 in a 'mainstream', modern game, like Battlefield 3, that actually needs high-end hardware (wich is what makes the thing VERY interesting for them, since most of the sponsors are hardware related, like Intel, Nvidia, etc).

"New = automatically sucks" when it comes to CS 1.6 fans. They refuse to accept anything new. There's a reason we're still stuck playing the same maps, over and over and over. There are thousands of maps out there, and at least 20 competitive ones

Not sure why everyone is getting angry because valve are making new maps. This is exactly what we needed. All the recent maps have been no-where near the standard of the traditional war maps made by valve. (not counting remakes), but more like the contest maps like Hell, or the random ones in some of ESEA's.

they said that they will take the same path as the DotA 2 Beta, so probably the beta keys will get really easy to find. at least thats how it seems to be the idea, cuz now playdota.com is randomly giving away 120 dota 2 beta keys every single day.

2011-12-05 02:10

By free to play I mean when the game releases it will be free to download for everyone, but if you want special perks (No idea how they would implement this in CS) you'll have to pay for them, like in TF2 (hats, weapons etc).

2011-12-05 10:01

6 replies

I believe they would probably sell it for 20-30 dollars at first for a while then implement this system later, and if you bought CS you would have things that f2p players do not. Sort of like tf2 or HoN or other games. Besides, CS was not fit to have the same system like tf2. It never did in the first place and honestly who wants to see their characters with bunny ears or some weird hats lol. Just my opinion, but I'm not sure what is your level of intel at this point nor what Valve are thinking so we'll see I guess.

Yeah, everything was the same, only the skins were different(uglier).

2011-12-05 23:00

I'll tell you exactly why they couldn't have tweaked 1.6, Because all of the original coders and developers (excluding Jesse Cliffe who just does some sound stuff) don't actually work for Valve anymore. That's why CS1.6 WILL NEVER EVER BE UPDATED.

2011-12-05 11:52

Firstly, itsnot FAIL! Did you read their interviews? Did you understand what they're trying to do? They'renot trying to replace 1.6 or source with new game. "That's what Counter-Strike is: a game of skill. And this is what CS:GO is: an effort to put anyone who has or should play Counter-Strike into the same game. That's a big enough goal but not a grand enough one to merit the name Counter-Strike 2." CS:GO is CZ 2. They're making cs2 and after CS:GO they can announce it.
