Why do people only play de_dust2?

[RunningSnail]

I know its a small nitpick but why does everyone like dust 2 so much? its a straight foward map with some sniping spots and sites and yet this is the most popular map by FAR! I would like to hear your opinion about Dust 2.

Becuase it's pretty much a perfectly designed map. It's the most balanced map to begin with, it offers many tacical options and it doesnt have annoying elements like ladders, doors and barking dogs. :D

because its one of the very first maps ( of CS:GO )

Dust 1 is incredibly unbalanced, almost no oppertunities for T's. B is almsot impossible to reach, A is also very hard to take. CT's just win the rounds most of the time.

I also asked myself this question a lot. But I never came to a satisfying answer tbh. The problem is that when you play on inferno or nuke as T it is much harder. As a noob, this sucks. Maybe that is the reason, on both sides on D2 you are actually playing a few seconds without dying, on other maps the it's not the case. Maye. :P

Like the man on top said. de_dust2 has loads of great startgical freedom. It also has a great balance of short,medium and long range comabat. And how the map is arranged means that every tactic the t side used can be counterd by a tactic that a ct uses

[Le Potato Moustache]

maybe also because dust2 is a bit more terrorist sided than many other maps?

I've always had a hard time on nuke as a terrorist. Especially in pugs/matchmaking.

Maybe also because it's more matchmaking friendly? The map were not as much tactic is needed?

My least favorite map in the game. Never enable it in comp. Every site has ezy awp spots.

[RIBBED FOR PLEASURE]

dust 2 is probably the easiest map to learn and play

[Partisan]

nice necro post, but ok i will leave my post also here : dust 2 is the best for me the only balanced map for both sides ,where i'm actually able to win with randoms in solo q mode.

[LeBrowning Automatic Rifle James]

you foking necro-er
people play dust because of low fps impact.

[Dara]

Yes. I spoken to some of my friends on my friendslist which only play Dust II due to bad performance on other maps and framerate drops.

[ShowMeYourMoves]

Lol, Dust_II is so overplayed, that's why a lot of people hate it... I like a ♥♥♥♥ ton of maps. Byt Dust_II is gay.

[N#GG#R]

Dust 2 isn't balanced...... and its the only map that gets played on casuals which is annoying as ♥♥♥♥....
