CS:GO takes place in same universe as left 4 Dead.
Watch the video, and look for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1_7nR5sC3c

Either they are in same universe, or Valve is just lazy. ( i'm guessing the second one). I honestly never noticed the same map designs used over again. What do you think about this?
No really though. I cannot unsee!

It'd be something that makes it cooler actually...

Recycling is the more likely answer.

I knew about bank but not the others. This is pretty cool. Doubt they take place in the same universe though as the buildings are mostly different from the others (one's a burger joint, the other is a bank). Not to mention that Sugarcane and Hard Rain probably take place in different countries. I wouldn't say recycling, I would say inspiration.
most of l4d players moved to csgo.

also in de_bank there are payday masks scatered around the map (look at my csgo screenshots for references). The only one I couldn't find was Chains
*edit* the only one I took a screenshot of was Wolf's mask because no one else could find it :P

Its simple, they're just using recycled maps.

It's not lazy develepment, Its just that they wanted to use the maps so they could put it into the arms race game mode, Making an entire new map and Materials would be time consuming, And they wanted to focus on the core of the game.

No But seriously, I said all this stuff in a previous thread with the exact same video/header, OP, Are you just trolling?

This^
If you think other game devs haven't done this, you're mistaken. Developers usually keep every major asset they make, if an asset fits into another game, then why would you make it again from scratch?

I cannot believe I never noticed this before, and I have plenty of time on both games.

Anyhow, even though the maps are very similar, it still takes time to re-create it as such because its not exactly the same.

Never said Dev's Haven't done this.

I've seen it plenty of times, I cant really name any, Which doesnt help me at all.

But if you're going to make a game, And make a sequal/another series, (IE CSGO)

And you want to make a new gametype, One that hasnt really been officially been in the game before, And you look to your other projects... 'Wouldnt this make a good map for X?'

Even then, Its not really being Lazy.Its just reusing old material and putting it into a new canvas.

Now, I know I dont have much proof of this but if I were a develepor I think I'd be using older maps.

Its kind of like saying the remakes on CSGO from Source/1.6 was just Valve being Lazy and reusing a map. I know that doesn't really make sense, Since it'd be a smart thing to do in a game like CSGO. But when you want to make something, You want to look back on what was successful, Even if the genre of what WAS sucsessful was different, Why not reuse it?

I was agreeing with you :P Haha.
And yes it's true... I've spoken to devs who've said they've reused basic assets and even whole buildings in as many as 5 different games. The usually try to make new assets for new games, but time is always a factor and when you need a room filled with basic objects, you just grab any ♥♥♥♥ you can find in the asset library and throw it in.

No, I posted it in the Left 4 Dead 2 discussions too.
By lazy I meant compared to reusing assets and making the map plus textures from scratch. And I didn't think this thread would get noticed after two weeks or so.:csgohelmet:

because they totally didn't make new textures for the maps or fine tune them to make them more competitive
