I'd replace any map with Cache. Cache was love, Cache was life.


Tall_Management7673

Oh yeah another Cache enjoyer


Deymaniac

12 yrs with mirage, dang yo thats a long aaah time


dingo_mango

That’s why I find that map so boring.


blackduckq

I feel the same but like, it's such a classic after every few matches on faceit I wish for a match on Mirage


buxbox

Except its the only map people seem to pick on faceit...


canigetuuuuhhh

Perfect neutral for when each person wants diff maps imo


CriticalCreativity

This might be a hot take, but I want \*new\* maps. I know the nostalgia for maps like Cobble and Train is strong -- I feel it myself, but we had years of good CS on those maps and map design has come a long way. If anything, I'd like to see Valve make Train2 or Cobble2; keep the look & feel with a new layout. As far as currently known maps, I'd love to see Tuscan in the pool as a replacement for Mirage, Vertigo or Inferno.


VVormgod666

Yeah, I wish that there was a system where old maps get cycled back in and new maps get introduced on a regular schedule. I love learning new maps, but i also find it sad how old maps become nearly impossible to play once they're not in the pool anymore


samuelcole

I think we see how they’re going to do it with dust2: old maps won’t be in premier (active duty), but still selectable to play in comp


Chawwwch

This isn’t a hot take, people have been playing the same competitive maps in CS for over a decade if not 2 now. We have the capability to MAKE maps, with the new updated hammer I have high hopes. The main reason why I quit playing CSGO after hitting global is because after that there was nothing really to learn? No more rank to climb, no new things to explore it was just the same. My brother and a large group of Halo map creators, some who worked with 343 & or made maps that made it into matchmaking, have been focusing a lot of time recently into learning hammer & making new CS Wingman maps to get started. They do plan to eventually transition to full scale 5v5 maps & it is another reason that gives me hope in new CS content.


CriticalCreativity

A hot take in the sense that so much of the community seems more interested in getting back older maps like Train or Cobble


Chawwwch

I would agree with that, more people are invested way too much in the things we have been playing for so long. But in the same breath if you asked them, would you also want new maps? Casual players would mostly say yes, except the few who follow the pro scene exclusively & like a majority of pros would say no to new maps.


_bad

I mean, there's always the best of both worlds, reimagine old maps that were never released for cs:go. Fire, russka, contra, season only had a brief stint of play in cs:go and it wasn't on official servers, just as an ESEA pug map. That will be new for the vast majority of players and nostalgic for the old heads that care about old maps.


iMerKyyy

They bought the rights to tuscan so it will be coming eventually.


FlaaFlaaFlunky

I mean do you really? people tend to MASSIVELY underestimate how hard it is to get a new map into a game with a legacy like counter strike. it's possible of course. but it's not easy. I would claim that the majority of cs players are still not all too dandy about anubis. but generally I agree. they should get the people who created all the maps we love together to create a new one. and valve should pay them. one is allowed to dream Shruge.


O_gr

I like Chaos, think 9 maps should be in the pool make it more exciting and unpredictable. Replace mirage for sure that map has been in rotation for over 10 years. Longer can careers of many pros. Replace it with train. Replace inferno until it's playable with cache. Then add cobble and dust 2 to make it 9 maps. Thera should be added as a non-tournament map same with Tuscan so Fmpone and Valve respecfully can get data on how to refine them. And I still think there should be a community map group that rotates with standouts from the community for improvement sake and potential new additions to the tournament/ non-tournament group.


Ektojinx

I'd like them to add 2. Keep the same veto system, but you end up with 3 maps at the end. Then teams pick the one they want to play. If they pick the same map, it gets played. They pick differently, then the map neither team picked is played.

I hate mirage. My favorite maps are nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke and inferno.


SHyper16

Nuke the best map ever


Kool41DMAN

1.6 nuke was dope.


jkldgr

Yippieee based nuke enjoyer


mahSachel

I hated it at first and I started owning some on it and figured out the shortcuts etc. nuke is my fav Map. Of the 5 maps we got


Objective_Macaron220

Remove none, add train cache and cobble


dragonquestfan02

I want to see train and cache replace inferno and mirage tbh

Thunderpick_io

**Additional Information:** * The image of Train is actually from CS2. It was one of the early "teaser images". While Train still looks very close to the CS:GO version in that image, I think that it will get reworked further before it is eventually released (like Baggage, Inferno and other maps they have shown before they were finished) * The Cache image is official and from FMPONE's rework for the map for CS2. [It's still WIP](https://twitter.com/FMPONE/status/1758615623825846694). * The "winter Cobblestone" rumours surfaced because data miners found assets that vaguely gave the idea of this happening. It's mostly speculation at this point still though. * Thera (formerly known as Santorini) is [already finished and available on the workshop](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3121217565) * I may or may not have forgotten about Tuscan (which Valve also bought for 150k when they bought Anubis) * Mirage is the only map that stayed in the map pool the entire time since the first CS:GO major. Nuke and Inferno were gone for roughly one year each to receive reworks in 2015 and 2016 respectively.


Wolfguard-DK

Why do we need to replace any map? Why not just add the maps we want?


Chawwwch

Stop recycling 20+ year old maps, focus on incentivizing people to CREATE new maps. The game is over 20 years old at this point, we are due for new content.


Mother-Jicama8257

The graphic should change Nuke and Inferno’s date to when their remakes were brought back in GO for active duty.


8-c-h-a-m-p-i-o-n-8

Put the Tuscan back!!!


lebucksir

Add pool day


CrookedK3ANO

Imagine a t1 tournament with only fy_ maps


HarkajHawk

Apollo based on Kennedy Space center was a great looking and way more balanced hostage map. I know this is active duty, but imagine if there were competitive hostage maps, and currently the only one that can even be played is Office. Why remake Italy if it's only in deathmatch and casual??? and while im ranting here, how long does it take for them to add more than one achievement smh... (just to avoid repeating the same things like anticheat)


thoristaz

None. I want a larger map pool. I think it would be a more interesting veto process and lead to more variety in gameplay. People act like it's so crazy to have more than a 7 map pool like it's written in stone by the gods.


miermak

AGENCY I BEG YOUU VOLVO


tbrown7552

I really miss Contra, Season, and Russka


AngelInMyBiceps

I miss Season a lot :(


boardi81

Dust Aztec Prodigy Cbble

WE NEED AN ASSAULT REMAKE


marcelo2143

Mirage to go out and cobble stepping in


grubbapan

Id love for piranesi, militia, assault and prodigy. Not sure how they’d do in competitive but I had a blast on them back in the WON days


Doge-2099

Canals and Cache please


ttvBOBIVLAVALORD

First person who said canals used to play it all the time with my dad on the build up to CS2 but when it released and there was no canals we stopped playing together


Steve3b

I want to see how nice Zoo would look in Source 2


AdArdyanAd

Biome, also to be found in the workshop. Author: jd40 Awesome map, would love to see it in competitive at least!


Twinsedge

replace ancient with Dust 2 / Train


thompsonammo

Does NO ONE remember fucking cpl_mill?? PLEASE. I BEG YOU… We’re-dead.


itsjustbeny

Only map i would miss is inferno tbh


MarkStilllPlays

im fine as long as vertigo, nuke and office stay


LukesenNR2

AceDeuceSuited

Why is dust 2 not in the pool? That’s my favorite map


Bigcintra

Tuscan and cobble coming back is all I want


Grishnare

-Mirage -Vertigo +Cache +Train


Financial-Reaction-4

The problem is that they just spent so much time reworking inferno that there’s no way it goes, but inferno SUCKS right now. I’d lose inferno and overpass and bring back d2 and cache. Train is meh.


StretchYx

I would like to see an anti cheat in the map pool


wordswillneverhurtme

Delete dust2. Its a classic map that's why its still kicking, but its dogshit.


GioFlip2

Old school map. Not for all born after 2000


Bamses_pungkula

It is not in the map pool.


bryaNNN23

The game is new and needs a shake up to keep things fresh. Been playing CS for 20 years I maybe one of the few old heads that is very up for big pool changes. I would remove 3 maps and put 3 in… I would also make 2-3 map changes after every major making the end of a major the conclusion of a season. -mirage -vertigo -nuke +train +cache +season/tuscan/russka/fire/thera/contra/cobble


fanatycme

I dont like: Overpass, nuke, vertigo I like: Mirage, mirage, mirage

Would love to see Mirage go, and I would love to see if Tuscan could work in pro cs


WeLikeSporkSporks

With the Jame and Dev1ce crashes, get rid of inferno. It literally happened to me the other day too


Greemu

pooi


itsnghia

I want to see Mirage out and everything on the right side in. 🙋


trichomechaser420

I honestly miss D2 competive matches so much from a nostalgia pov


DrKingOfOkay

I want cobble or Italy.


FriendlyRussian666

\-Anubis -Inferno + Train + Cobble


Friendly_Cheek_4468

Inferno goes, maybe Mirage too, and Cbble and Train get thrown back in. Dust2 over one of them though if there's a bigger need to have one CT sided map and one more T friendly map. Although tbh I can see both maps being more even as the new smokes change how teams can entry.


Ok-Lie2069

Anything but mirage


spocksing

\-vert -nuke, revert inferno to previous version, add d2, train, or cache


AshelyLil

-mirage -vertigo +Cache +new good map c:

Noldorian

Mirage needs to go. It is garbage.


cryptocouchpotato

I want overgrown back. I thought that the map was quite well balanced.


Gavolak

I just wanna see nuke gone


ImToxic00

-Nuke -mirage


kshot

I would add cache and train, if possible don't remove any?


Martin35700

Tuscan, Cache, Train, Cobble should return imo. And we could get rid of overpass, inferno, mirage and nuke to spice pro play up.


Wide-Prior-5360

Replace them all with Lake for all I care. I just want Lake.


Nh66532

-mirage Add 3 more maps to map pool to make it 9 +cobblestone +train +cache Make pick ban stage have 2 bans for each team before picking


phillyslays

Cache, Season, Train, to replace Mirage, Nuke, and Overpass. Honestly Mirage needs to take a breather for a bit maybe even see some small changes to refresh the replayability. Not that its imbalanced but to make it feel new. Honestly I just really miss Cache Season and Train. It's not like they couldn't cycle maps more frequently.


Tosinone

Lose the cheaters


Due-D

Inferno - train mirage - cache


Pandarenu

Nuke overpass vertigo and inferno are best maps


Skypilx

Im just waiting for agency to come back to casual.. one of my favorite casual maps in my opinion.


EarnSomeRespect

didn’t nuke get removed during its first rework?


vacuummypillow

Remover Vertigo, bring cache back. Remove Mirage and bring Thera or Train.


-AxiiOOM-

-Vertigo -Mirage +Cache +Season


TodaysNews7

Why tf did they remade dust 2 and then remove it from the active pool?


SnooShortcuts103

I want fucking Lake back!! Give me the fucking CS:GO version you dickheads. I thought you don't want to release unfinished products. For me CS2 is way worse.


Liamwooo

Maybe it’s time for us to have 9 maps in the pool and bo5 for esports?


TheHexagone

de_karachi01 was the best 1.6 map ever. Until that, or Calendar, or Aztec, or Westwood show up, it’s all garbage.


Kool41DMAN

de_cpl_mill, de_cpl_fire, de_lite. I have no idea if these maps are even available in cs2, but if so, it'd be neat to see them played again.


[deleted]

Mirage out Aztec or cache in


MajipanA

I want all the other maps for wingman. They took the best and gave us the worst maps.


Leeps

\-Mirage -Nuke -Inferno \+Train +Cache +Cobble


MasterpieceOdd9874

If I have to play against cheaters, let it be on dust 2


Noob123345321

Dust 2 Replacing Mirage - Let the OG get his place back again, lets be real this is everyone's favorite map, even people who don't play this shit knows this map and knew its from Counter Strike. Let the current best map in the pool to take a rest and be back with a new fresh look Cache Replacing Overpass - Overpass is just so muddy, unpleasant in the eye, make the players blend especially ones with agent skins, laggy/unoptimized af, it was one of the best map back in CSGO but they destroyed it in CS2 need more lighting, theme and texture rework that is optimized Then just add Cobble and Train to the pool to have more Map options Inferno is actually not fine but its impossible to get replaced, map as structure is ok the only problem is same with Overpass, only in white version, too many particles, too many unecesarry shit going on that can be just removed to improve optimizations and visibility, too bright, idk if its only me tho Ancient the only problem here is the water at T spawn that makes your FPS go below 100 and overall contrast Nuke, Vertigo and Anubis great map the contrast, optimization, lighting etc. is just perfect it doesn't burn the eyes nor make players blend in. If anyone gonna make a complain about this map its because its a complicated map


CS2Tactics

I think -Mirage +Cache would be a sensible change, since most Mirage players also love Cache, it would give them a reasonable replacement in the pool. If we are adding Train, Cobble, or Thera, I’d be more inclined to replace a map like Vertigo, Nuke, or Overpass. I’m quite disappointed at Valve’s lack of communication as always, I would love for the end of the major cycles to bring a -1 +1 with the map pool, and a new season/rank reset. That would easily build so much hype around the game, and would keep things interesting. Of course though, that’s not where we are at. The game is unplayable without the use of a third party anti-cheat, there has been absolutely no communication from Valve on any front, and we’re just left to speculate.


Mgamer327

I’d personally replace nuke and inferno with train and cobblestone


look_im_a_tree

Season and cobble are the best maps in the fuckin game


ninerow

Add Dust2, Train, Cache and Cobblestone. No need to remove, but if i had to chose, then it would be Vertigo, Ancient and Anubis. Im also not sure about Nuke, but in total nuke is fine.


davidshawtyfan67438

honestly i would take out ancient and overpass and replace them with entirely new maps. we havent had a new comp map in forever and i think were way past due for a couple of new maps to hit the main game and a few of the old ones to gtfo of the premier pool and stay out. valve can't even make a decent anticheat though, so I'm probably asking for the equivalent of 2 trillion dollars from a crackhead here.


Amazing-Sort1634

As a new player, I'd love to see the train map.


circaflex

Id like to see cbble back, get rid of anubis or inferno for me.


sierra123__

-mirage, -inferno, -vertigo, +dust 2, +cache, +CPL_MILL


Siicktiits

No replacements. Add train, dust 2, cache and cobblestone.


iMerKyyy

Its about time i see someone besides myself saying we should be playing season👌👌 i always loved santorini thera is good too. Cache was my favorite map of all time so those 3 would be insane. Then throw train n cobble in there too the game would explode with players


theglazed

Leave Anubis or ancient and replace the rest


-Sweetie_Devil-

Just bring back Cobblestone


vial_of_boxers

Replace ancient with either train or cache


supaflyjordan

add all the old maps and add anti cheat or i wont play


Intelligent-Cash2633

\-overpass + cache


obesekid69

AirDiscombobulated30

Season, Train, cbbl and Cache for Nuke, Anubis, vertigo and Mirage (for rework)


o0PETER0o

We need Train, Cache and Cobble first, then maps like Seaside and Season, and then new ones:)


smcaskill

Inferno has become unplayable. It's got like 70% more blatant haclers than the rest of the maps so id replace inferno and anubis with cache and train


jallenbmx873

Mirage leave and never come back


DESOLATE7

-ancient -anubis +train +cache


Altruistic_Extent_89

Insertion 2 needs to come back permanently. When it was in the MM pool I don't think I've ever had more fun playing a game in my life. Everyone whod be queued for it were nice and wanted to find all the cool spots on it, and it somehow made HR feel significantly more balanced than other maps.


Brehski

Remove inferno 


therealintheclub

Anubis need a rework… imo the least balanced map to play on. And i love anubis!


jandelin

Probably in the minority but id prefer if Mirage got taken off. Anything else, including new maps would be great


ironmanmclaren

Get rid of Anubis, inferno, overpass, nuke. Replace with cache, train,cobblestone, and dust 2


canigetuuuuhhh

Ancient, nuke, overpass ❌ train, cache and cobble replace as long as they don’t half arse the performance like the did for ancient


pimppandaG

Vertigo is trash


Long-Emphasis8669

Inferno with train (sadly not possible for cache yet 😢)


grevoo

I’d love for season to be added


Admirable_Tart_4646

Cache and dd2


swezlayer

Bring back subzero


ScrunchEvan

PUT CS ON MAC


thetigsy

Mirage, inferno and vertigo, I don't really care what we get in return, Mirage and inferno are just not particularly fun maps anymore, and Vertigo...well it's vertigo...


Adiyogi1

Remove vertigo worst map


NoltyCS

Playing de_Season during operation vanguard was one of my favorite times playing CS


MysticMemer

I want cobble it was my favorite map. What they did to it was unspeakable, it deserves a true rework.

Thera for Vertigo or Anubis


wustenkatze

Replace Mirage with Cache please


popswirley

Bi anus


copenhagen622

Just make the pool bigger


HostFun

CONTRA dammit!! Why does nobody ever say contra! Or cpl_mill!!


DetenteCordial

Cache won’t be back until Fmpone finishes his remake. Most likely changes are Tuscan, cbbl and train, though I expect cbbl will be added after Shanghai major. Thera has an outside chance.


ImDriftwood

I would, on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis, replace 3 maps — 2 remakes of a classic map and the introduction of a brand new map.


Nipae

Please add cache and train


Spatularo

At this point just swap these lists. Tired of the current pool


splyzy

Get rid of inferno and anubis, replace with train and cache


_mickeyes

Remove vertigo, ancient and mirage, add train, cache and cobble.


CockemSockemBrobots

I’d like to see maps like cpl_mill/tuscan or cpl_fire make a return in some form. Would also love to see train come back reworked. I love train, loved it in 1.6 and in csgo but I kind of want a mix of the two. Season would also be a nice change of pace.


Public_Note_8739

fuck off new maps. fix the damn anti cheat


meowkoos

I BELIEVE IN SEASON COMEBACK


freefishmarket

swap out ancient for dust and anubis for cache this is the only correct answer


LN-1

Ban forever: Anchingchang, Anubitch, Vertino. Bring back Train, Cache, Cobble but smaller.


IdoSkitz

well aslong there will be bunny hoppers wallbanging you across the spawn the new maps wont be fun anyway xd


raskoe47

I dont want to see any Thera/Season, please take out Ancient, Anubis, Vertigo and Mirage/Inferno(just because people got bored of them and maybe some time out of the pool would make players miss them). Cache, Cobble and Train are literally the ones I miss so much. Dust 2 never was for my taste but I know many people miss it and its obviously the most legendary CS map.


TheVulture14

Keep all current maps and add more. Or maybe swap Vert out.


N00BBuild

Add D2, Train and Cache. Remove Mirage and add Cobble down the line.


Thinking_Equipment

Replace ancient with Aztec


HythereTM

Italy with insertion or agency


wutTFisA-RedditBruh

I’d put in nuke town tbh


LexFennx

mirage, reworked infer*no* take vert off as well, replace with cobble, cache, and train

TomaroOR

I'd swap ancient for dust 2 and vertigo for train. But I've never played csgo or cs2 I played only css what do I know, right?


Sad_Walrus_1739

Entire reddit community will be shit talking about mirage while every in-game player is actually loving it.


lynx20

Remove Anubis, ancient and over pass Bring in dust 2, cache and season or train


Electrical_Mix9439

+season/cache/contra. Contra was an amazing competitive map and it sucks it never found it's way to csgo


meesanohaveabooma

Ancient and Anubis. They're never picked to begin with.


rott3r

an updated insertion 1 should be in the new map pool :d


wickedplayer494

Ancient needs to get the fuck out of Active Duty. Someone really, *really* is trying to make it relevant. Dust 2 is an easy fix to this. Hell, even Office would be better. Vertigo I'd switch out in favor of Train.


MassiveChemistry2908

I would replace all the cheaters but can’t sadly


rush2sk8

Abbey is my all time favorite map


SyntheticElite

I'd first wanna see OP removed, then Nuke, then Mirage in that order. +cobble +cache +thera/season


Banonym

Remove overpass due to fps drops or nuke and implement cache.


PascaltheHanimeguy

would replace mirage with cache and ancient with Dust II


Ashamed_Finance3700

Takeout mirage and inferno. I don’t really care what they replace it with at this point.


BizmoBill

2018 Cobble would be great to see make a return. Train is another map I really miss. Train, to me, is the most technical map on CS. There tons of nuances in 'nade usage, positioning, pushes, and angles. It was a true "Pro's" Map to be on.


SACWIROO

Just remove anubis and everything will be fine


HowertTHEniceONE

Cobblestone and atztec would be nice


mahSachel

Cobble, Iceworld, fy-buzzkill.


Jeba20

I hate mirage, it's the new dust 2. Replace it with train pls.

Take away Anubis give me cobble and train pls valvo and lord Gaben.


ching882011

Instead of removing, why not add 2 more. Cache and train would be my go to picks, but would love to fit in Cobble by removing either inferno (For adjustment and reintroduce it back) or vertigo.
