Question; why is the map-pool in pro CS so insanely stagnant? I remember in the few CS tournaments I watched in 1.6 all I ever saw was like Dust 2, Train, Nuke and some other. Now when I tune in to a GO tournament, all I see is Dust 2, Train, Nuke (with some small changes)...

One of the reasons why BW has kept such a fresh feeling is that new awesome maps have been released continuously throughout its lifetime. Why aren't we seeing new awesome maps for CS, in the same way?

Probably because no one in the scene takes initiative to make new maps lol and the CS community doesn't like change.

I believe the numbers that they post during searches have been deemed falsified by most of the community. But yea no one plays hostage maps. You'll be lucky to find a game unless you're on a new account / low ELO. It's best to queue defuse maps always.

There are very good maps. The problem is just that people don't want them. Just put a nice new map on a ffa server & see all players leaving 80% of the time.
ESL used to do a good job to provide new interesting maps, I don't play it at the moment but you should check .

There are a lot of decent maps in rotation for tournaments, including mill and tuscan and stuff. The game's been out for less than half a year. Really.

I didn't see any of those maps in ESWC or DH Valencia.

The latest THOR qualifier, afaik, ran tuscan at least.

That being said, I don't disagree... we need new maps, that's just the least of my concerns as far as this game is concerned. Maps will come, and certainly not from the official developer (looking at you, blizzard)

Matchmaking is so awesome. Queuing up and getting to play with really good random people is awesome. I've had nothing but awesome games when I play matchmaking ('distinguished master guardian' level)

Hey guys, just to remind you that the $9,000 5v5 and 1v1 $1000 CS:GO ladder leagues are still live and running. The top teams will be invited to a playoff bracket with some selective matches being broadcasted by MLG. You can find signups and all information here:

http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/forums/t/Gamebattles-FAQ-Creating-teams-and-finding-matches-7211181

There you can sign up for both ladders as well as learning how to find, create and report matches.

The regular season will be ending DEC 31st, 2012. So get your matches in and start fragging.

Random questions:
Has the Five-Seven any redeeming qualities? To me, it seems inferior to the P250 and even the f**king dual berettas.

I have noticed that some weapons have less penalty for shooting while moving. Dual berettas, nova shotgun, and to a lesser extent the Mag7.
On the flipside the Galil and Famas seem to have worse than average accuracy while moving(aside from the sniper rifles, obviously).
I know it´s considered a bad habit to not stop while shooting, I still find it interesting that those weapons seemingly don´t penalize you for that. Gives some weapons interesting qualities. Anyone else notice something interesting about certain weapons?


And more importantly, is there any redeeming quality to the five-seven?

If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

From what I've seen around the CS:GO reddit, and my brief uses of the Five-Seven in game, it is more movement based and there's a bit of a luck aspect to it. I think it's definitely overshadowed by the P250/Deagle, but I've seen good play from it.

Just played my first competetive game, and I kicked ass. :D Sure, it was against mostly newbies even dumber and worse than I am, but still. It felt awesome.

5-7's got a bigger clip than the p250 (20 vs 13), but I think the recoil and damage is about the same.

Also, I love the galil, sometimes I'll use it exclusively and won't even upgrade because its burst pattern is so similar to CS:S's AK burst pattern. The Famas on the other hand is all about impossible for me to use :T I'd rather just get an m4 with no armor, or save up.

The two maps you mentioned are basically the same thing and they've been in the CS rotation for years. The only other map is mirage which is a remake of strike. Really, the map pool is extremely stale and the community has always been poorly receptive of new maps. It's sad.
