CS:GO: Maps Ranked According To Balance

Cache presents both sides with a variety of interesting scenarios as the timer starts ticking down. An encounter by the shipping container at site A can go either way, and B can hold any number of surprises. However, mid is just as important as any of the bombsites. The battles at mid can determine the match's outcome if neither team is care


Fifty-five percent of the time, the CT will bring home a victory. As the game has changed, Train has fallen out of favor with many fans, with it being the third most played map before, now fifth most played. It's very focused on teamplay, which might explain why it's being played less with matchmaking pairing up many self-focused players. Terrorists must stick together to overcome the obstacles of rushing into mostly wide-open areas, and any failure to coordinate can become their downfall. It's a fun challenge but very punish


Lastly, "overhaul" maps offer the greatest glimpse into the power of the Source 2 engine in Counter-Strike 2 . Overhaul maps have been completely rebuilt from the ground-up within the engine. These maps offer the highest level of fidelity and improved player read, plunging recognizable yet aging Counter-Strike maps into a polished new form. While the amount of changes coming with Counter-Strike 2 will only increase as the game draws closer to its release, the breadth of change that the game is set to bring about has made itself cl

These improved smoke grenades will also be able to fill confined spaces such as holes and tunnels more realistically, greatly improving the scope of plays that can be made with them. While this may be regarded as a less important upgrade to Counter-Strike 2 once more details are announced, the changes to smoke grenades are a fantastic example of the improved physics that the release plans to bo


Remember that any strategy you can cook up can be countered just as effectively by your opponents. No plan is bulletproof and even if your team executes everything perfectly the enemy team can pull off multiple great shots and win the ro


The map location known as Back of A on Vertigo is a tricky camping spot to reach, but it is definitely worth it in the early rounds of a CS:GO match. You'll want to head to the Back of A area and crouch jump onto the boxes near the short scaffolding. Then you'll have an awesome view of A Bombs


First things first, gaining control of mid will make a huge difference for either team. Giving it up without a fight should only be an option if your opponents are regularly outshooting you or they have an obvious advantage against your weaponry. Leaving mid uncontested means the T players can easily pile up on either bombsite and even hit you in the back jumping into the window r


Being a CT on a bombsite means you have the lesser numbers, a trade will favor the enemy team, but what’s worse is not having a teammate being there for your trade kill. Don’t try to take on the enemy team alone. Even if you get a kill or two, you’ll leave a major gap in your team’s defense and remember. It may take a significant amount of time for the B player to rotate towards A, and they may end up having to leave that position defenseless to cover for your rash p


Gunplay in CS:GO is complex. Players have to think about their movement accuracy, bullet spread, and even effective range. Recoil control is also a key aspect, with each gun having its own individual spray patt


Unfortunately, usage of Cache varies heavily due to it not being a fan-favorite map causing many players not to learn it properly. Perhaps it would be different if the map allowed for more consistent matchmaking, but frequent banning of the map further prevents that from ever occurr


A lot of players will often ridicule camping when they are on the receiving end. That should be no reason to give it up. It is a viable strategy that can reward you with kills or even a victory. Of course, if you know where to watch for a camper, you can clear these spots before they surprise


Resource management is part of what makes the game so enjoyable, leading to Tactical Shooter innovation decisions such as running ‘eco rounds’ to save up for better weapons and armor for a ‘buy round.’ This adds an extra dimension to the game, and makes winning that first pistol round all the more import


On the T side, using your utility as a team is even more important. Whether you’re storming site A or B, you’ll need to pop smokes in key areas and they’ll have to pop all at the same time. Smokes alone can’t win you the bomb sites, though, flash grenades are also needed for more effective executions. Molotovs can also make a huge difference, but learning when and where to throw them requires more practice than the oth


The Back of B location on the Anubis map is a great camping spot. It provides an overlook of the site itself and many of the paths to it. You can hop up into this area and put your back against the wall, knowing there isn't a way to sneak up behind
