It’s Broken, It’s Bullsh*t, But It’s Home: The Story of Dust 2

It's the most iconic playground in the history of first-person shooters - but it's also the most chaotic. This is the story of the beautiful, belligerent disaster that came to define Counter-Strike. The story of Dust II.

[@deffytv5222]

I dont think I have ever cried watching any eSports related (maybe only a tear when C9 won the major), but this video hit close to home for me. Across 3 accounts, I have almost 9,000 hours into CSGO, and a very large chunk of which was spent DMing on Dust 2. For all four years of high school, I would come home and not even play any MM or ESEA, I would just DM for hours upon hours on Dust 2. Now 5 years after graduating high school, I still do the same, at least 2-3 times a week if I can. I havent played any MM or ESEA in almost 2 years, but i still get on Dust 2 because I guess it feels like home. So much has happened after high school, I left for the Navy, got my associates, moved a lot, found a great girl who I think is the one (wish me luck!), but i still get on Dust 2. Besides the visual update, Dust 2 hasnt changed, at all. And I guess it makes me feel like im still a freshman in HS. It grounds me, that even though everything in my life has changed, Dust 2 and CSGO will be there. It sounds so dumb, but its comforting. No other game/map makes me feel the nostalgia the way D2 does. Its crazy what a stupid video game can do. Also Dust 2 is my least favorite competitive map LOL. Mirage FTW

I quit playing D2 back in 1.6 days when it was 90% of the servers. Over saturation killed it for most old school players and a lot of pros grew up in those days as well. We've only really reached the point of pros entering that have been CSGO exclusively in the last couple years. Even CSGO is over saturated as well given it's always the shortest time to a match, so you're playing it 75% of the time if you have it as an option when you queue. There's a reason it's always banned when doing map selections at the pro level. They rarely play (train) it anymore because they got sick of playing it before they went pro.

I have been playing on various versions of this map for a significant portion of my life and I am no better now than when I first started 😢

[@bertojo]

Dust 2 has that brother aura, he sometimes bullies you into oblivion, laughs at your face and sometimes is chill and lets you have fun, at the end of the day you two have grown together, wouldnt have it any other way.

Countless life have been lost here, it’s more than a map it’s an emotion with never ending memories. F and pay Respect ✊🏼

Please make a story for Dust 3 a.k.a Mirage!

There actually is a dust 3. CPL contacted the original maker of dust & dust 2 to make a map for a CSS tournament.

"We wouldn't have it any other way" well I'd have it a bit more optimized so I can play on 100+ fps but ok

[@sannidhyabalkote9536]

I think it's properly optimized Because it's new , you get low fps

[@averagenick9839]

Man I think you should just have an eco for couple of weeks or months and save up to buy better pc parts.

It can't feel nostalgic for me because for the last 20 years I have been playing on that map regulary.

Great upload. I've been friends with Dust2 for 17 years. 😊

Funny thing is that as someone who has never played much counterstrike(10 hours only) i practically have memorized the entirity of dust 2. Thats how iconic this map is

[@uday4962]

For some reason It's Home made me nostalgic and almost made me cry.

[@19MAD95]

I can’t even think of something witty. This map is just so iconic. I can’t believe it was made by some young kid.
