    We played a game of competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on the original Operation maps from Operation Payback - seaside, favela, library, FMPone's museum, motel, and downtown! It's crazy these maps were official, here's... what happened.

    During the first operation, these maps actually couldn't be ranked up or down in, as they were casual only. To get the silver coin, you'd have to put 30 hours into casual, to get gold, 50 hours in. Downtown was a pretty good casual map imo. Also, I love Seaside enough that I wish they always kept it around.

    I've said this same thing on the csgo reddit for multiple years periodically at this point but they should definitely separate ranks into two pools.
    1) The official rank for maps that are in the active duty rotation and the same maps all pro players play too
    2) Another rank for all other maps and they should have a pool of maps that rotate consistently (would be a great way to get old operation maps back) OR maybe even allow community to vote on top workshop maps that would be added on competitive play.
    Since there are a lot of players that can get tired of the same maps over and over again we need an official matchmaking way to play different variety of maps. The solution cant be to "lol just go play this obscure map hub on faceit that maybe 50 people will actively play and you cant reliably find games whenever you want"

    This really took me back. I still rock my gold Operation Payback coin on the scoreboard.
    I distinctly remember playing all those funky spots on de_seaside like post, middle on crack, hiding under stairs, etc. Because the game was still so new, hostage maps were just as fun, Motel and Downtown especially. Back then, you still had to rescue all the hostages and they were on foot as the randomization and carrying of hosties came via an update in late 2015.
    It'll be interesting to see your take on Operation Bravo maps. I personally loved de_ali (smoke and shotty rushes were chaos) but de_gwalior was fun (and whose middle perhaps influenced de_anubis?) and de_ruins felt like an absolutely massive map that influenced some aspects of de_ancient.

    library seems like a really fun take on maps like nuketown and shipment, being condensed microcosms of the gameplay loop that massively speed up the pace of the game, while sacrificing most of the balance. I actually think it should still be playable on its own "playlist" as a sort of novelty, it seems like a good map for people to train their audio awareness, wallbangs, and reaction to small movements (since other players are visible through the cracks in the bookcases) but I think they should probably make full walls not wall-bangable at least lol... and uh, maybe just disallow LMG buys on it lmfao

    There used to be an old map called hide_n_seek. it was a short neighborhood street. Terrorist team= 1 knife only and As many CTs as the server would allow; no weapon (hands). gravity at 50%. There was a timeout period that would allow the CTs to hide and the CTs that got tagged became observers not additional taggers.

    Do one, where its random which playermodel someone gets so some CTs look like Ts vice versa but they still play on the same team
    (maybe just stick to one T and one CT model, or change it up every round, just so you cant remember who is on your team)

    Man I love Library, it's still super fun in Arms Race and Demolition (same with Pool Day), shame Valve hasn't shaken up the Arms Race and Demolition map pools since fun layouts are great for that.
    I also really love Motel, super disappointing you didn't show much of it. Sneaking through rooms, relying on hard flicks since the map is so open and enemies can pop out from anywhere, it's not really like anything in CS at the moment and I love it for that. Would be way better in Hostage Casual 10v10 than crap like Militia and Assault, so many players on an open map like that would be hilarious.

    Library needs to be expanded as a full map and have the Library just as a site
