  • 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.

    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.

    Before I got my first gaming PC there was an Internet cafe in my city that had steam/wow/unreal tourney CoD, all kinds of amazing games. My friends dad owned it and every Friday night they had Friday night fights which was a CS 1.6 tourney for adults only. He would let us in sometimes to spectate and on rare occasion, play. Those were the most epic and memorable moments of my child hood. I don’t really play CS anymore but it will be forever cemented in my memory (alongside WoW) as the game of my childhood. Playing 1.6 and WoW as a 13 year old with all my buddies was to this day the best gaming experience of my lifetime.
