I agree about digital vibrance

Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Personally I believe that fm_santorini is a not good map at all. Not a huge fan of it, but goons are known for their good taste and goons seem to like this map.

I won't discuss hitbox / gun changes because it's way to complex for me.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
My thoughts are that it is another pie in the sky reddit post asking for stuff that has been brought up since 2012, and that it will disappear off the front page without a trace in a day or two with no indication Valve noticed.

As for maps, the game doesn't necessarily need more maps, but I'd personally like to see tuscan/mill reintroduced because it is a simple map in the vein of d2/mirage/cache, and it would be nice to have another map like that in the pool for casual competitive purposes. Dunno anything about santorini though.

Feelin good after a 1v5 dust2 T pistol round ace en route to convincing victory. Curious to see where it places me after my next 20 hour layoff. Playing with mostly MG1-2, which I understand aren't generally all that great. Not one of my teammates tonight had a mic. I should try hopping on the goon 5v5s.
The Goonpugs are a much better way to play 5v5 than mm. I highly recommend it.

D2/inferno/mirage/overpass/cobble/train/nuke is plenty if they're up to fixing nuke. If not, could always get Season or Mill going. We have the maps, we just don't have the players to play them imo.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

I'm mostly speaking from a competitive standpoint. Teams can only realistically be proficient on so many maps. Even with 8 maps in the pool, there are teams that never touch 1-2 of those maps. Increasing the pool just makes teams more likely to focus on specialising a batch of maps, which just leads to dull rock-paper-scissors matches in boX games where teams roll each other 16-4 on their maps.

I'm not against more maps being added to the public pool, but honestly these maps are already out there if you want them. Valve MM and the rest are trying with their active duty stuff to imitate the pro scene, hence making the same round/bomb timers as well, so it is unlikely to see new maps there often. I highly doubt the active pool will ever exceed 10 maps, and 8 seems like plenty given most players already aren't totally fluent on all of them.

Can't be many games with a competitive map pool 8 maps deep at any one time already.

I posit this; why is a higher skill ceiling, which includes map knowledge, a thing to avoid. It's like sayin you shouldnt madter tap burst and spraying cause realistically you cant be godly in all 3. Im not trying to be a dickhead, i legitimately dont understand

Maps are really nothing to do with skill ceiling, it's a question of how much time a team has to work with in order to make strats. Teams already cannot and do not prepare every map for an event. Adding 10 more maps for funzies will actually make the overall skill level drop, because in order to succeed they will have to spread themselves thin attempting to learn most of them.

Knowing a map here isn't just "drop me in and I remember most of the angles". Being "current" on a map takes a lot of behind the scenes practice.

I made it to DMG by only buying p90 and jump spraying around corners or w+mouse1'ing every round. Never ecoing, if I cant afford a p90 I'll buy an ump or nova and do the same. Always rushing as ct, and playing the most unpredictable spots / attempting to flank every drat round. 90% of my kills are cheesed.

I've seen this many times on reddit, but Please valve, I beg you. casual would be extremely funny if you actually could be a chicken if you died in that round, so you hop around and follow players :')

I bet there will be wayyyy more people to pick up counterstrike because of the randomness and the funny stuff you can do as a chicken on casual, and I think people wouldnt be bored after they die :)

EDIT: or like the first 5/10 people that die in a match that can actually be a chicken after they die otherise they have to wait for like 1 or 2 minutes.

What could be interesting would be having a larger map pool (say, 12 or so), but only 7 or 8 of them being in active rotation, with one map being replaced every 4-6 months.
