Maybe these kind of updates should be optional as many people, including me, don't play newer maps. That is why I suggest that the future updates regarding maps you haven't played to be optional. If you want to queue up for one of the new maps you are prompted with a notification to update the maps and you have 2 buttons: Update and Decline (update is done in-game). I suggested that because I find it irrelevant that I get hundreds of mb downloaded regarding maps I do not play.

Before you unleash your decline regarding my suggestion think about other players that are not interested in newer maps (some of them). Thank you.

Agreed. The constant updates can be tedious when you just want to play Dust2 and someone in the team is like "oh there's an update" and then takes 20 minutes to download it because they are in Australia where their broadband infrastructure is 10 years behind the rest of the world....

The problem with "new maps" is that, ok let's say you are playing solo, and you got some.. well, not really nice players. After 5-10 rounds, they have 1-8, 3-10 (just imagine this picture in your mind) and they are writing, "omg, idk this map, pls kick me" and "+rgiht" afk.

I am not saying that i am playin solo, but i saw THIS 3 times in 3 maps in other team yesterday.

Tell me, How should you feel if your teammate "afk" after 5-10 rounds just because he doesn't like new map? And you can not kick him because he has a friends who is afk too?

What a nice experience - don't you think?

Sorry I don't understand what does your post has to do with my suggestion :/ Anyway what I tried to say was that if you want your new maps to be updated sure, you can do that having that option in-game or you can refuse to update and play those maps, is your option.
To get it straight I tether my internet connection through my mobile phone internet so I can 'enjoy' playing CSGO :D I have a relative good ping 80-110 with a bit of rubber band but nothing that can obstruct me from playing. The thing was that I have to download hundreds of mb of data for something that I don't use or play :)

I know what you mean.
Map updates are optional in PUBGM for example, something like that would be great.
Doesn't make sense for everyone to download it unless they're actually planning to play on it.

[you first]

Biggest narcissist in the thread!
Move to a first world country so you don't have to worry about your data cap. Or how about you ask the dev team to stop working on the game all around
