With the introduction of Operation Payback in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve has started to officially support the most popular custom maps for official game modes uploaded to Steam Workshop in matchmaking, even becoming official maps, as with the case of Cache and Agency.Click on the edit in the configurations tab. Some custom maps are exclusive to human players, while the bots cannot walk around effectively in some custom maps. For example, "surf" denotes a surfing map, while "zm" is used for zombie maps. Similar to the naming scheme used for official maps, custom maps use a prefix to identify what scenario they were created for. Most of the current official maps were at one time a custom map. The Assassination and Escape scenarios were removed completely from Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.Ĭustom maps are maps that are not created by Valve, but instead created by community members. They come with the game or are added on via an update.Īll of the original Counter-Strike maps are playable on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, but there is not necessarily a newer version. Most of these were officially adopted and originate from the community. Official maps are maps that were created by the developer. On the Februupdate, the map Dust II, originally in the Active Duty Group, was removed from Active Duty and made into its own map group, the Dust II. The system was updated on the Novemupdate.

The lists may be subject to change by Valve at any time based on further testing and feedback. The active duty and reserve groups contain official maps, while the operations group contains maps for the currently active operation. Map GroupsĪs of the Jupdate, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive introduced new map grouping as a way to further organize the maps for in-game and official competitive tournaments, as well as for use as mission parameters.

There was an unreleased map for this mode that was leaked in the Danger Zone update, XL Dust, which was later released under the name Sirocco. The mode was first included in the Welcome to the Danger Zone update along with CS:GO going free-to-play. Currently there are 3 maps available for the mode: Blacksite, Sirocco and County. Maps classified as a Danger Zone scenario have the players trying to survive from the, again, Danger Zone.
