> cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/21382218 Two new community (competitive) maps released for CS2 today, and one has callouts in the map itself. Created by FMPONE and MF_Kitten, we have Thera. I decided to make a callouts map because it's the only way we will play for sure... although the new ranking system also helps, we won't be thrown in way over our heads when we play. Thera looks to be a smaller map, but there are a fair number of upper and lower parts. However, since I used the in game minimap to make this map, the lower parts are darkened and not obvious. ***If anyone knows how to get the base layout map (much higher res, used to be shown in loading screens), please let me know.*** The map underneath the writing is terrible and I added contrast and denoised it a bunch just to make it useable. As for the callouts, I changed a few parts. Here's the list of everything different (or could be different) about the in-map callouts: - "B Balcony" is just an unnamed balcony next to B site (which, btw, is slightly underground, under the "B platform") - I added "B" to "B platform", since "A platform" exists. - I added "B" to "B ramp". For the same reason above, I thought "Ramp" and "A ramp" would be poor choices. - I debated, but ultimately didn't add "B" to "Stairs". There is also "T stairs", which is underwhelming in comparison. - Same as above, I did not add "A" to "Arch", even though "Mid arch" also exists on the map. - I added "Bottom mid", as well as "T mid" to "Upper mid". "Upper Mid" is through the "Mid arch", which does make it a little disconnected from where I'd put "Upper mid". - I added "Long A" to "Long hall". That's just what I'd call it. - There are two callouts, "Upper catwalks" and "Lower catwalks", that are right above/below each other, so the callouts are just together on the map. - I think "CT bar" should just be "Bar", since there is only one.
The major is upon us. Megathread to discuss the major. Opening stage is over, elimination is upon us: Group elimination stage: Advance to quarter finals: - Cloud9 - Vitality - Spirit - Faze - Eternal Fire - Natus Vincere - MOUZ - G2 Eliminated: - paiN - Virtus.Pro - Complexity - ECSTATIC - Imperial - HEROIC - TheMongolz - FURIA Group stage results.

Since the last patch without patchnotes a few days ago loading workshop maps has been broken for me, anybody else experiencing this or is this an issue with my install?

Hello This community has been rather inactive for a long time and probably partly because the community creator and former mod was never active. There's also no strong CS community on lemmy so I decided to step up and hopefully shape this community into a healthy CS community, because I love CS and I don't want to go Reddit for my CS fix. Moving forward I will take a more active role in this community to post content for others to discuss. To focus the discussions I will start by creating megathreads for the bigger happenings in the community. For instance instead of having 20 posts about the HLTV top 20 players that will get little to no comments, I will create a HLTV top 20 megathread to get more a discussion going on. At least that's the plan, please do stick around and help me (by posting, commenting and upvoting) help you get this community up and running.
I would like to take a mod position to try and get this community off the ground as @Osiris seems to be inactive.
Wanted to share this here since reddit is trash now :)
As you may have already seen most of Reddit has gone dark including r/GlobalOffensive. We, the mod team of r/GlobalOffensive have created this alternative Counter-Strike community here for people who want to continue discussing Counter-Strike, bypassing Reddit's shenanigans
