The History of CSGO's Obsolete Callouts

[@QuintessentialWalrus]

As someone who's just a casual fan of CS:GO, I wish this video showed more "before and after" comparisons to demonstrate where callouts got their names from. You said Truck and Graveyard are no longer accurate on Inferno, but... why? I'm sure it's obvious to people who have both versions of the map memorized, but I don't really remember what Old Inferno looks like anymore. The other visual comparisons were great so I don't see why a few callouts were left out.

[@SaintedPIacebo]

Graveyard used to have a more obvious object to signal it was like a graveyard, the remade map though is based on a real place and that building that you hide in front of is in irl a graveyard, so in a weird roundabout way Graveyard is still accurate.

[@TheSantifive]

Pit used to have a massive pillar with a large cross in it, and to the side, you'd find 'graveyard' (Also, can't quite remember if this is true, but my brain tells me there were a few tombstones at some point there? A la cobblestone maybe?) The hay cart used to be an abandoned towing 'truck', people would often get stuck on the back part of it when jumping down from / into apps.

[@vidennn]

"Graveyard" was never a callout in 1.6, it was simply a feature between "big pit" and "small pit" with small pit being where "moto" is now. IT only became "graveyard" in source, where at the very back was a fence which behind it was a graveyard. In csgo, that entire area was replaced by a building.

4:35 For anyone curious, the goose is saying "goose" in arabic, although Google Translate seems to translate it (أوز) to "geese" so I'm not certain if it's the plural form or non plural form. I don't speak arabic.

[@ceronus6477]

It's actually correct to be singular and plural, that's just the male version of goose in arabic, the female would be اوزة and the plural would be أوز, so google does misinterpret sometimes and it does vary by accent too, but all in all it does say goose.

The best part about CSGO, especially the german CS scene, is that every corner, no matter the real callout is called "Hurensohn" (direct translation is "Son of a bitch"). No matter where or when you call "Hurensohn" on a map everyone that played the game for more then 1 year knows exactly what you mean.

My favourite pass-time is making up dumb callouts whenever a new map comes out. If you say it with confidence, so many people will repeat them and not question why that corner is called "Shoelace" or "Goblin"

Apex is close left of ramp if you're coming out as a T - Apex loves a shotty there. This is just from watching too many CSGO streams and being enough of a nerd to take notes.

[@Sam-es2gf]

i like the idea and what you've got is good but there's so much potential here.. take two maps you focused on, train and cache: from old versions you mention popdog and you have footage from 1.6 showing the ivy on the walls, but don't mention the area we call ivy now (with no ivy), there's an area called hell because it's below where heaven used to be, etc .. then you touch on the idea of pro player callouts showing shroud on cache, on that map there is nbk and simple too, etc

[@sidewaysfcs0718]

There's also Moto-box, which is a box on Inferno A site where during WCG 2004, Moto was boosted behind this box, in an in-escapable position, as a T with the bomb planted and waited out 4 CT's to defuse the bomb, killing them one by one with a silenced USP (which was rarely used as such in old CS). Now in csgo that box no longer is positioned in such a manner, it only allows for players to climb on it and hide out.

As an older player it astounds me that the new generation of players are still using "pop dog" and "secret", yet when I call "goose" on dust2 (theres even a goose now) it's almost always met with confusion.

I remember playing CSGO for the first time when I was 14 back in 2012, and callouts were something you learned through repetition. Someone would call out “MOTO!” And I’d be like “wtf is that”, and then get dinked in the back of the head from moto. You learn pretty quick. I stopped playing just before the 2015 update came out due to burnout; I had accumulated 4.5k hours in those 3 years I played, and spent nearly every dollar of my holiday/chore money on skins/cases. I came back to CS 2 years ago and the game feels so different. Small bonus, my $700 inventory increased in value to $1500 while I was away…accidental investment.

Reminds me of my very favorite callout in Rainbow Six Siege, "Harry Potter". It's underneath the staircase in the garage area, under which is a gated, fence-wall room to prevent players squeezing into the bottom corner of the stairs and hiding. Part of the joke is that it absolutely sucks to be there- you're exposed to attackers from an exterior doorway, four panels' worth of exterior walls, a service tunnel, a doorway into the entire rest of the first floor, and a window and another two panels of exterior wall on the floor above. And there's no way to leave without exposing yourself to literally all of them simultaneously.

One thing that will never cease to annoy me, is how some CIS players woke up one day, and decided to start using Firebox for Triple, and start using Ninja for actual Firebox (therefore leaving no callout for actual Ninja, situated behind actual Firebox) causing these new callouts to spread around that community, and causing confusion for players in pugs for years to come. Despite the fact that every tier 1 casted game on mirage, since the beginning of csgo, have casters use the original terms, every couple of days I encounter some CIS player trying to correct people using the original, widely accepted callouts, because they don't use the new CIS ones.

so big thing about csgo/val/most fps shooters, the reason why its called 30 "bomb" and not 30 frags or 30+ kills or whatever is because back in 1.6 and CZ when you planted/defused youd get 3 kills added to your score. you would refer to the 30 "bomb" as a player who got 30 kills combined with some defuses/plants instead of just flat 30 frags without the added score. seeing the old maps and callouts reminded me of that that most people probably dont know/understand nowadays
