What is your honest opinion on Train?

Hello community,

Before the season 2 starts, i hopped on and played a couple train games to be prepared for a new map rotation.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on Train being back in the map pool. I’ve been playing since the CS 1.6 days, and honestly, Train was always hated by me and i've been avoiding this map all the time. Here is why:

1) Long Corridors: Those hallways make quick rotations a nightmare. By the time you get to your mates, it feels like it’s been ages, especially if you want to do it silently.

2) Too Many Corners: There are just so many corners to check. It slows everything down because you’ve got to be super careful. Especially super weird corners on site b.

3)Hardly Any Wallbangs: There’s barely any surfaces you can shoot through to scan enemy.

4) Communication Issues: This is a pretty big one for me and i bet it will make train the most banned map. All those train carts make it tricky to call out enemy positions. It leads to a lot of confusion and miscommunication. On other maps the callouts just feel more natural and are quicker to learn.

5) Narrow Firing Lanes: Fights in the narrow corridors are annoying. At least for me :P

6) It feels that CT has enormous advantage on this map. But that might come from my inexpirience.

But that’s just my take. What about you? Do you enjoy the train, or will it be an insta ban from you? I’m curious to hear what you all think.

To me train is the Dust 2 where utility fluency, really matters. Don't get me wrong utility matters on every map it's just train is special in a way.

The duels you can take on this map are such a mix, smgs are good, rifles are insane, and snipers are insane too, all because of the way you could play around the trains which are placed all over the sites.

Was honestly upset they removed vertigo for train instead of Dust 2, cause the maps played so similarly for me.

But unlike dust 2, train is fair to every gun in a sense if you can move around the map good, you got cover everywhere and none at the same time if you wanna take more space, which is where knowing when to throw a on the fly flash or smoke comes in handy.

Super niche map, needing to actually focus on utility aswell makes it really fun for me.

I like the map, If only Valve would focus on getting rid of the cheating industry that ruins the gameplay for normal players, then for sure Train and the other maps is okay ...

I still miss my old weapons in the game, because the weapons was ALOT more accurate and had alot bigger impact on the targets you hit .. and to make the game fast paced again, then I think Valve should remove the movement penalty from normal weapon hits and only apply it from heavy weapons, granades & knife attack and at the same time remove the reload movie clip every time you switch weapon, to make the weapon able to fire instantly when you switch to it..

There is a bunch of maps from the original CS that is not in CS 2 at all .. and that is sad, because Original CS got like 18+ official maps, 11 bomb & 7 Hostage maps maybe more .. then about more than 1000+ community maps .. so it is sad to see that all that hard work aint applied in CS 2

Second premier match and its insta banned twice. Seems like cache would have been a better choice
