Remember the old CSGO economy where people used Submachine guns and save rounds ,I actually liked the strat's that went behind those and how awesome and huge it was to win a eco round

[@FireDarkNinja]

Remember the UMP rifle, that gun was so nuts at that point.

[@pacifistidentitarian549]

@@FireDarkNinja exactly , if ct won the pistol you would have all your players on umps except the awper on a scout , and Ts could force buy with galil's or wait for the third round to purchase aks , each round was huge and winning as a ct with umps and picking up there AKS was massive

[@Grastiars1]

The only issue with that was that games became predictable. You lose the first round, you are incredibly likely to lose the next 2. Buy in round 4, so statistically the game started 3-0 before the economy was equal. I didn’t mind that more competitive rounds are rifle rounds As a CT player this statistic leaned even more against them as if they happened to lose that 4th round they lose the half. Making rifles more affordable made it slightly less of an economy game and made the balance easier. The problem became the A4-S being a superior rifle to the more expensive rifle.

[@nov3m472]

dust 2 was the least played map in the last 2 majors and new maps is a good thing, way too many just go d2/inf/mir only without ever giving new maps a chance

[@lawlietriver8869]

I am guilty of that. I am so bad at adjusting to new things. Not just maps. And my biggest strength is reading the enemy, and on a new map that skill goes away entirely in the very start. I cannot know how many seconds they have to reach any given entrance, peek or you know, anything. I do love DD2, but it is probably good to have some exposure to something new.

[@arepasaxo]

I WANT MIRAGE OUT

[@miloda_bess]

I think that they should have considered replacing ancient with Anubis instead. I am guilty of playing the same maps over again, but I have tried to learn more new maps. I don’t think removing a popular map is the answer, rather removing a broken map. Maybe they just need time to fix dust and this will give them the chance, although I am really miffed that they removed what is my favorite map in the game by far. Mirage and inferno are fun, but they can be annoying to play sometimes due to the reliance on teamwork and excicutes (I can’t spell). This more so applies to mirage of course. I really enjoyed dust 2 simply for the fact that you don’t have to do a complex strat in order to win every single time. It Is fun because it rewards mechanical skill and teamwork, and even after the removal of the bridge thing, it felt like it was still a fun and worthwhile map to play. Also, in my opinion, it has the best and most iconic csgo aesthetic. I understand that it isn’t removed from the game, but many people will likely either stop playing the map, or just give up on it because there isn’t really as much fun to be had by making your own clips on a pro level map. The same thing that happened to cache might happen to dust, and I don’t want that to happen. I get that this may be a rant, but it is just my thoughts on the matter.

[@hooyabaaa2]

Im far from a good player but in a lot of games i even dont think reloading the AWP... The thing was some rushes in smokes when you are alone, tap one shot or here on smokes are pretty basic (and not very hard to find a kill in tiny corridors like the B on dust 2). Now, with only 5 shots, you probally gonna make those shots count a bit more in situations like this.

Because it is very much not likely that I will get the chance to shoot 5 seen targets in any given round.

That is exactly why the CT economy is more expensive and why the Ts have two rifles with 1tap potential through head armor. Lets see how the M4A1-S and AWP Nerfs will impact pro play and CT winrates throughout maps

[@RhawketS]

Dust 2 is bad. The doors have always been a massive problem. Either CTs can rush mid, or go lower without being seen. Or Ts can shoot CTs coming out of spawn, they can shoot through doors and see when CTs go to B. So I think mid just needs a total rework. A rework that doesn't let Ts be able to see CTs coming out of spawn and going to B, while also giving mid and lower control to Ts. So basically remove the doors and make it a connector type room, or make the doors tighter and metal so you can't wall bang and see top mid from them.

[@psych0CS2]

Dust 2 (especially after the update) became so boring to play that I'm glad they finally removed it. Every game was so repetitive and spawn oriented. Spawn for long -> take long control Didn't work -> everyone is gathering at short getting naded from a and waiting for the smoke to fade to push a. Once in a while when the stars align you get to have a ct smoke and brave teammates who are willing to go mid to b, And on eco you do the old b rush. That's basically all you can do on this map in an average pug and everything is so predictable as a ct as a result which makes this map so boring for both sides and in the end it just comes to aim dueling on a very basic and primitive layout and very few valid positions to hold.

Anubis is pretty dull. They quite possibly chose one of the most boring maps to replace Dust which I guess is fitting. Also who in their right mind was saying the AWP is too overpowered.
