Best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Maps

A ranking of the best competitive bomb defusal maps in CSGO.
The Top Ten
1 Dust II

Eh, I use it for deathmatch. For competitive play, this map is usually filled with cancerous people or people there to throw the game.

Dust II is the most played map in CSGO. Love it or hate it, the layout makes for solid gameplay.

It's a very good map. Easy to learn and very noob-friendly.

Dust eleven for the win

2 Mirage

Mirage is a strong, sandy map quickly gathering players.

3 Inferno

Following a beautiful new rework, Inferno will likely be back in the map pool soon.

4 Cache

Cache is a fairly dull, yet unique map that creates many close games, especially on the professional stage.

My "go to" map on competitive

5 Overpass

Overpass is similar to Nuke with the lower and upper bombsites, but they aren't so close as to mess with sounds.

6 Nuke

Nuke is a map that just by concept is not the ideal layout for a competitive game like this. That being said, it is one of a kind and very fun especially since being reinstated in the active duty map pool.

My favorite map, but the fps issues plague many players. It need optimization for those with lesser PCs

7 Italy
8 Train

Train is a CS classic, being featured in the first scene of the phoon video for example. It is a map that not many teams play consistently, but those who do can usually dominate.

9 Cobblestone

Cobblestone is one of the only maps in Global Offensive that is Terrorist sided at most ranks. B site rushes favor T side and the map itself is very awkward to fight on with narrow chokes and more vertical gameplay than one may expect.

10 Lake
The Contenders
11 Safehouse
12 Aztec

It is a low detail map from the early days of CSGO that has not been revamped since being taken out of rotation long ago.

13 Shoots
14 Dust
15 Vertigo

It is clumsy and awkward to play. It is often nearly as plagued by smurfs as Dust II is.

16 Assault
17 Agency

I love this map so much, so many great spots to hide and get frags
