In games like Counter-Strike 2, the maps are a crucial part of the experience. They define the battleground and determine how players engage with each other. Often, map designers spend a lot of time creating maps that offer unique gameplay experiences while maintaining a competitive balance.

Counter-Strike takes a different approach to map design. It encourages the community to create and submit maps for others to enjoy. Whether it's a highly competitive map like Anubis or a Hide-N-Seek map, Valve empowers players to shape the tactical FPS experience.

With the release of Counter-Strike 2, Valve aims to reinvigorate the community workshop, allowing players to keep creating their favorite maps. They announced the return of community maps in a recent update on November 2.
