Counter Strike: Global Offensive, one of the best shooter and competitive games in the world, started the day with a new update. With the update released yesterday, a development that surprised the players occurred. With the new update, Dust 2 has been removed from the active map pool. Here are the details!
CS:GO Dust 2 map has been removed from tournaments
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which has been actively played by many users since 2012, has undergone some changes with the update released last night. With the update released by the developer team, Dust 2 has been removed from the active map pool.
Players have long expected Tuscan to be included in the CS:GO active map pool. However, the news of its removal from the active map pool was quite surprising. Dust 2 was replaced by the previously removed ‘Anubis’ map. However, it should be noted that the Dust 2 map is only removed in tournaments.
Also with this update, Pro-Arena’s map pool is as follows:
- Inferno
- Nuke
- mirage
- Vertigo
- overpass
- ancient
- Anubis
In particular, the removal of the Dust 2 map, which is the indispensable map of many players, made some players sad while some players were happy. The reason for this was that the map was simple. Dust 2 has been the focus of criticism, as it has a uniform structure in general. Despite this, it has become the indispensable map of CS: GO.
Apart from this change, AWP’s main shell has been reduced to 5 with the update. This seems to make it even more difficult to use it by firing it. The M4A1-S’s became weaker at long range. Also, some users concluded in their tests that the M4A4 was more advantageous than the M4A1-S at long range. Initial reactions to all these changes were generally negative. However, it is thought that it will return to its old line with the improvements that will come in the next few weeks.
