Fun facts about some maps: - Thrill, Swamp, Iris and Engage were made by the creator of Mirage - Thrill is officialy the sequel of Mirage - Vertigo and Aztec were made by the same guy that created Inferno - Theres an Aztec 2 and Its not Ancient, the map is only on cs1.6 and it was never finished
The Aztec2 one is definitely true but Valve completely ignored it because at the time, they were working on the Source engine but like many maps, you can download it and play it with bots or in a local game with friends. Also, Ancient wouldn't be called "Aztec 3" in a way? because before that map, there was Ruins which you could call it Aztec 2. Just a thought.
@@kyasarinrogue6183 the original name of the map was "Mirage 2" and it had the same theme as mirage but since they wanted to make something unique and different they decided to change it to a theme park. The same way Dust2 is the sequel of dust, but in dust2 the theme was kept
Thill is one of my absolute favourite maps, mostly cos I get nostalgic as it was one of the first maps I ever played about 5 and a half years ago. Not that long ago to get nostalgic about but still, I loved it at the time.
I remember when i first got csgo in 2018, austria was the first map i played and i honestly had so many fun memories playing it, really wish they would bring a tonne of these maps back even just for new casual rotations
Breach was really good IMO. Very interconnected mid on a smallish map meant it almost had a 3 lane layout. and you had to keep an eye on your flank, and both sites were fairly interesting layout wise. Also, I just realised how similar Mutiny and Icebox are in layout lol, no wonder I like neither
I absolutely agree except with train. I view it as a great map. Really like the technicality of thw map and the utility usage required to play at a high level.
I remember most of the maps of CSGO from 2012 until the ones that were added in 2018. From 2019 and onwards, I kinda lost the track even though I played every single map at least once in deathmatch and don't have many memories on them. Operation Bloodhound and Operation Wildfire map pool was my favorite for sure. Also, it would have been cool to add the arms race and demolition maps to the tier list because Bank and Baggage are so fun to play.
Glad to see someone as enthusiastic about dust 2, mirage and cobblestone as I am, but only the cobblestone before it was last changed cuz it's not great now
Assault was the map my friend group used to have in queue when it was available. It was always so hype when it started loading assault because it was one of the more unpopular maps. Once we even queued EVERY map in the pool and we found a game on assault. Everyone on discord started screaming. Good times. We were so angry when valve announced they were removing assault from the comp map pool.
assault was very popular back in 1.6. I miss the old hostage maps in competitive but there's still some great matches on causal mode, especially now that valve added the riot shield.
i 100% agree with bringing back cobble stone was one of the maps i played a lot when i started out csgo, had a lot of fond memories now i can only play it on wingman and have just a whiff of nostalgia
Are you gonna make a tierlist about wargame/deathmatch/dangerzone/wingman maps too? Because for me, I really love demolition maps and I think some of them could be added to wingman
Hey Anomaly! Thank you so much for this Video. I play CS:GO since 2012 and it brought back so many amazing memories from the golden pre-operation, operation payback and operation bravo era. I actually got goosebumps thinking about Downtown, Museum, Chinatown, Thunder, Favela and the other, in my opinion, GOD-Tier Maps from that era. I just think it‘s a bit unfortunate that you only took a look at competetive maps and didn‘t include those from other game modes as well.
Old cobblestone like the version before the most recent one if im right was my favorite map of all time. Ive had so many fun times with friends and it was always a great time
I'm also one of those who enjoy to play Mirage, however I think it might need a similar facelift like Cache to make it feel a bit more fresh. Same thing to Overpass.
VERY useless fun fact: at 11:45 you see the logo of a Turkish furniture company, arçelik, misspelled. The small details that is put into the creation of each of these maps is what makes them unique and interesting.
Grind is one of the most underrated maps of all time. It's my favorite map from recent times. It felt like an old OG map to me. Simple layout, balanced sites, a boost spot and always an awp faceoff in mid.
I think Peoples views on maps are so dependant on when they came out. I for example loved biome. I was experienced enough to know the game fairly well but new enough to want to explore. Would still love biome back as it is both beautiful and plays really well!
i played csgo back in 2016 so i dont remember a lot of the elder maps. also subzero doesnt have the custom player models of the arctic avengers anymore, valve forcefully removed that themselves when they released it in the operation they were featured in, whichever one that was.
youre so spot on about nuke lmao, idk what it is the franzj effect or what, but everytime i q and see nuke loading i take a dab hit cuz i know shit is going to be funny and noones gonna try
I never play csgo once but seeing u play is fantastic for me plus the maps i see in vid yea its cool as hell bring back nostalgia when i see csgo vid 5 years ago
I started playing CS:GO in the start of the 2017 because i didn't have good enough pc to handle CS:GO but i was watching a lot of videos from 2014 and was playing CS:1.6 2010-2015
i remember watching your seaside deagle clips that u hit on the docs,when you had the pink themed old twitch overlay with no facecam good ol' times aye
I remember playing rush as the first csgo map I've ever played, had a bad time so I went back to the OG maps like dust2, train and mirage... and never changed
Played cs sometime in 2014 at a friends house, didnt get a good computer until 2017 when I bought cs and started playing for real, now got about 2,6k hours and still play it almost daily. Such a great game, honestly :)
18:14 I'm happy to be in the same boat with you Anomaly, I also hate Vertigo. It has way too bizarre strategies even I can't quite cope, even with my own teammates, usually in matchmaking I do the request "Anything but Vertigo" like no matter if they choose the Agency and Office, and the community maps, but if they put Vertigo I don't even play it like dead seriously.
For me, Shipped is Special, I Played it Alot When i was Beggining Again with CS:GO After few Years of Innactivity in It, Shipped just Appealed to me Because it Looked Different than all the Maps i Played Back Then, I Also Gambled my First Knife on It
I think Dust 2 must have a separate tier. It is the map on which most players started like 10 years ago and still play competitively. It is a meme, it appeared in movies, videos, paintings.

Italy and assault are soo nostalgic I remember playing them every day in 1.3 they deserve god tier in my opinion
assault the og cheater map xd but ye it was sick sadly got removed ;c
assault was good for 1.6 but not for the competitive aspect of CS GO. Italy was good tho. but assault definitely just for fun.
assault was so fun in 1.6 but honestly it would be trash if it were csgo now lol
definitely agree when it comes to assault. so much fun we had..
Thank you so much Mr.Anomaly for the fake passport methods tier list
Thank you mr Anomaly for making this tier list of best bombs to take to the airport very nice👍

Thrill is such an incredible map asthetically, and it plays okay. I'd put it at decent personally
Agree

sad thing is that mirage already got a facelift
No. Old maps are better and mirage is perfect as it is
"face lifts" only ruins maps (nuke, inferno)
Why would you want to ruin Mirage or Overpass? The maps are already great.
@@jR0xas My opinion is that mirage is a really good map but it's overplayed. If you play faceit you will play mirage 9/10 times

thx for tutorial to make fake passport,i was able to rob a few things in mirage,dust 2 and even some hostages in assault
biome, subzero etc were my first ever csgo games. this brings back some nostalgia
Honestly I miss so many of these maps I jede they would just make another map pool and make it a massive map pool of all the removed maps
What I remember most from your old videos on Cruise is when Obi got the bird flu, THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY
Grind is one of the most underrated maps of all time. It's my favorite map from recent times. It felt like an old OG map to me. Simple layout, balanced sites, a boost spot and always an awp faceoff in mid.
grind is sooooooooo good
cruise, royal, and italy are some of my first csgo memories. thank you for the trip down memory lane Anomaly!
What do you think about Guard? (Wingman map) For me, it was the best map i couldve played, had the most fun with it as well
so true
I think Peoples views on maps are so dependant on when they came out. I for example loved biome. I was experienced enough to know the game fairly well but new enough to want to explore. Would still love biome back as it is both beautiful and plays really well!
i played csgo back in 2016 so i dont remember a lot of the elder maps. also subzero doesnt have the custom player models of the arctic avengers anymore, valve forcefully removed that themselves when they released it in the operation they were featured in, whichever one that was.
And Valve is losing money by not making Arctic Avengers as agents. Instead, they are adding terrorists with clown masks. What is this? Payday 2?

Season will always be my favorite map, but Log has a special place in my heart as the place where I got my first ace.
Guard.
Ig you're not including Wingman maps but damn I really loved that map. So many fun memories with my friend playing wingman.

you know its a good day when anomaly uploads
Played all these as well since early 2013, I have great memories from workout and thrill and some of the best death matches on black gold.
man . i love this guy so much
I began playing in december 2012. And man, i miss Zoo so much. Definetly a god tier map for me
