Game Debate to the Death!: Best and Worst Counter-Strike map? photo

Last week's Super Smash Bros. Melee level debate was a great way to get everyone pumped for Super Smash Bros. Brawl's recent release. While I'm tempted to make this week's debate Brawl based, I think it would be best to give it a month or so for everyone to get used to all the levels before making their favorite level decisions. As for the winners and losers of last week's debate, here are the top results from each voting category:
  • Favorite SSB Melee Stage:
  • Hyrule Temple (25 votes) -- winner!
  • Corneria (18 votes)
  • Pokemon Stadium (15 votes)
  • Final Destination (9 votes)
  • Least Favorite SSB Melee Stage:
  • Ice Climbers' Icicle Mountain (33 votes) -- loser!
  • Game & Watch's Flat Zone (10 votes)
  • Samus's Brinstar Depths (9 votes)
  • Donkey Kong's Jungle Japes (8 votes)

For this week we move on to one of the most successful first person shooter games of all time: Counter-Strike.  I don't see the need for a separate CS and CS Source debate, so this week is both games and all their versions wrapped up into one huge headshot debate. Of all the maps made for the game, which level is your favorite, and why? Give it some serious thought, cast your vote and reasons, get some FPS friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.

Bonus Question: Which Counter-Strike map did you like the least?

If you voted for a cs_ or fy_ then you are a noob.


Its all about zombiemod if you arn't playing de_dust2/inferno/nuke/train

Also, complaining about the AWP = noob as well.

Best: cpl_mill
Worst: de_dust2

Mill is a perfect balance for everyone. Gives a couple awp spots, but plenty of time and space for people to get on their way before they can just get picked in the first few seconds. Good balance between open and enclosed areas too.
Dust2 is massively overplayed, not to mention an awp whores wet dream incarnate.

If I had to pick from the normal maps, cs_office. It's visually interesting, and has a couple tight spots so I can use a machine gun and have some fun. I almost always played with Gungame or Zombiemod instead of normal CS, though. Fuck that bullshit.

Absolute worst is, by far, dust. Overplayed, monotonous, extremely lame.

Best: cs_italy because the house was very well defendable but it also had enough avenues for defence. It also was the most pleasant to look at CS map.

Also very fun: cs_assault and some variations thereof: I always played CT on these maps because when you coordinate with your team well enough it felt so great if you got in and saved the hosties.

Worst: de_dust and de_dust2: I always found these maps boring and that they where played so often only made me hate them.

i'm torn between de_foption and cs_backalley.

WORST: definitely de_dust

can you see from my answers why i don't play anymore?

put me down for de_foption, if you can't put me down for both (it doesn't matter anyway, since neither one will win).

Best - de_inferno (Surprised it's not getting any more love)
Worst - de_dust (I can't put in words how sick I am of that map, it's the reason I gave up Counter-Strike)

I loved blahhhh and some of the stupid jump maps too. Great times were had teasing 'newbs' about how to get into the porn castle on that mario map.

Best: de_dust - it is just so classic

Worst: cs_militia - for what other people said

I don't see why the hate for office. Certainly my second favorite.

most of the competitive maps (cpl_mill, fire and contra) are all awesome maps that are always a blast to play on. I'd [rpb pcik mill if i had to pick one.

as for the worst map, dust2 sucks, because everyone thinks there pro and knows all the spots on it.

Shit, favorite map is hard. what CS map could I play for the rest of my life... nuke, mill, dust2 come to mind... I'll vote de_nuke, but dust2 is a close close second.

Worst map: de_dust, who played cs maps anyways? (except office, its freaking deathmatch clusterfuck in a can, which is awesome)

My favorite was probably cs_militia. I don't know why, I just liked the house I guess. Second favorite was cs_italy. Third favorite was de_dust.

Least favorite is definitely iceworld. It's like, let's take what makes Counter-Strike unique and get rid of it, turning it into a generic deathmatch FPS. Lame.

So many people have said dust but Dust2 is 10x better. Much more twosided and I think most people saying dust actually mean Dust2.
Personally Dust2 and Nuke, I play clan wars on them every night.

There's too many good maps to choose from, I'm going to have to say cs_office. The worst has to be de_dust because it was so overplayed (not really because it was a bad map, mainly because I'm tired of playing it).
