yep missing map cs 2

let's go

2 minutes! awesome!!!

I miss ma boi cs_assault

Well, just by watching half of the intro i assume that the issue you're stating here is that all the maps that were included in CS2 and even go are mostly midday or high noon around 11 to 14 and almost there's no map that has a night setting
That's probably because it's gonna cause some potential lighting and visbility issue

it would be very cool that depending on your timezone, the casual maps change to their night variant. That would make them more cozy lol

man I really miss older CS1.6 maps Valve should remake them at least for casual mode

hello, but where is the moon ? is it even real ? are valve purposefully hiding it ?

CS definitely need those immersive elements: Nightime, rainy, gloomy, foggy, storming maps

babe wake up, DeZolance posted a video

One of my biggest disappointments was launching CS source for the first time and seeing that they have changed the cs_assault's setting to daytime.

I really think that night time in aesthetics, games, art, phone UI desing is underrated probably because many people find night time scary especially without lights but i always find it beautiful lights on or off. Like just looking at the stary night sky, colourful lights luminating that seem like a way for hope and rescue. And just seeing the Nature eluminated with light makes it beautiful

Vegas was another night time map that did make it to release, but it was removed after 1.5.

You might think he's nitpicking, but when you think about it, he's right.

CS2 competitive nature has made the maps just plain broad daylight, aside from aesthetic, time of day or weather conditions can set the mood and provide certain playstyle. (Example if it's snowing, the team could set the bomb or ambush until the storm calmed)

The missing element is "GO" in game's title

In general I feel like Counter Strike is truly just a competitive game now and lost most of its atmosphere and charm. For me, early CSGO was cool. Different factions on different maps, the maps seemed rather gloomy, etc you know the Source Engine atmosphere stuff by now.

Esports ruined multiplayer game design.

Paracord enjoyer, I respect that, I appreciate you more now

Halloween cbble needs to return

Hence why i liked the CSS aesthetic more, the grey skies feel so nostalgic now because of that game, some maps felt unnerving even at daytime especially de_port. Usually night and foggy maps were mostly used on the zombie mod, but even at daytime it didn't ruin the experience.

It’s become so competitive all aspects of world building is being erased. I miss old CS.

Nice try Diddy 🗣️🔥

Even if it would sacrifice some visibility, I would love more variety in how maps look. Militia had the best sky!

amen brother

lowkey miss the nightvision and flashlight from css/1.6

Vegas... 747... cs_iraq was so dark you NEEDED nightvision.. so much fun!

remember the UFO skybox?

Missing element... Proper anticheat

Dont show this video to a R6S player

I miss flashlight and nightvision feature

I think for the competitive pool. THe community and Valve should avoid night maps.
But more work should definitely be done to facilitate community servers, which is where night maps can shine.

thats what happens when competition > fun

I love when someone is talking about character visibility on Reddit.
They always talk out of their asses and blame the agent skins.
Yet in reality the only agent I usually don't see are the skinless / default models

TheWhatShow if he was CS2 focused

this video is great

Had to adjust brightness on my laptop.

Inferno at night ❤

"All new engine! Updated lighting!"
Im so glad i switched to Tarkov, the immersion from weather and time of day alone is awesome

Iirc cs_docks and de_fang were at night

I used to LOVE night time maps back in CS 1.6, for some reason those types of maps fit so well with Goldsource engine, back when such modes as Zombie Infection and Zombie Swarm were popular in CS 1.6 night time maps were terrifying yet so fun.

the real missing element in counter-strike is func_vehicle

Tulip by Catfood was fantastic

Night maps would give people reason to use flashlights and nightvision.
