is there any good reason why we can’t play competitive cs_italy, especially considering that now each map has its individual rank AND that cs_italy a full makeover?

    Come on Valve, why must you torture hostage mode enthusiasts like this? You fully remake a classic hostage map with top of the line Source 2 visuals, new layout changes, open skyboxes that allow great use of utlity , but we have to make due with one of the worst hostage maps ever made if we want to play 5v5 competitive.
    THERE IS A EMPTY SLOT RIGHT THERE! I don’t get it!

  2. Does any decision regarding CS2 make any sense? here is your answer

    They probably just forgot and it’s been overlooked because they don’t have enough staff working on the game.

    They’ve shown how completely incompetent they’ve been over the years.

    Because it is not a competitive map, it has never been a competitive map

    I’d love to play Italy competitively my OCD is sparking up with that missing spot!

  6. Italy was already a t-sided nightmare, and I feel the map changes have given t’s even more options and mobility while giving CT’s basically nothing. Only good thing is the open skybox so you can put smokes down at places that weren’t smokeable, like on the t-side apartments. The removal of crackhouse means market CT’s can’t snipe to support left side anymore, making left side stairs even more of a ct meat grinder. Apartments is def less of a death trap but it’s still useless to take apts without having the left stairs cleared.

    Where militia

    There goes Valve completely facelifting a map, just to keep it out of the options we have to play in competitive MM and leave it forgotten.

  8. besides faceit and competitive play im also an enjoyer of hostage maps.

    i really like how different the approaches are in hostage maps compared to defuse maps.

    the fact that they made full makovers of hostages, hostage maps and so on should be enough to give “hostagemap” players what they want.

    office, italy and agency and maybe some new hostage maps should be in that competitive map list. it would enrich the game. since the ranks are map based it wouldnt even matter how many maps are in the pool

    but i guess valve will not be interested in niches at the moment given the state of the game …

    If I remember correctly it was briefly available in competitive but then wasn’t anymore, I am not 100% sure though

    look at wingman where only trash 5v5 maps are playable right now as they removed all nice dedicated wingman/demolition maps.

    I played Italy in a 5v5 with some friends, it was fun, but it was very T-sided, however we only played one match on it, so I don’t exactly have a big data set.

    If you want a good flash for helping your team entry into left side stairs from spawn as CT, go behind the trashcan and aim at the bottom left corner of the white window shutters, jump throw.
