    You guys forget that the proceeds of the passes go to us, I guess. Plus, I have a strong suspicion new maps are on the way.


    Valve still takes a cut from each pass sale though no? Either way I'm buying a pass. All I wanted for christmas was cache, ali and agency to come back and my dreams came true.

    This operation is a terrible joke, really. Big respect for all the people in there and I'm not saying that because the 3 maps I worked on are not in this pack but the best thing about operations is to see good new maps actually played with a lot of people. These operation make the csgo map creation more attractive because everyone can hope about a cool release like this. And thanks to that we had a lot of really good quality maps. But with this operation, people will certainly loose their moivation (lol, a lot of people don't give a shit about weapon skins). I'm thinking about the people who are working hard for the last few months to release their map in time, it's just a back stab for them, and more when you are seing seaside AGAIN!!! (seriously? just put it in the official maplist and let us see new stuff !!) What about Overgrown ? Marquis ? Print ? Backalley ? Season ? Castle ?

    In all honesty 3Dnj I was really surprised none of your maps got back in. I really like siege especially. I just can't believe seaside has gotten in AGAIN. Valve grinds our asses about fixing stuff for future operations, meanwhile seaside has the ocean scrolling at 9000mph in the 3d skybox. The flowmap ain't even stretched to fit.

    I think 80% of the csgo playerbase feel that way Vilham. But, somehow it got back in.


    I think 80% of the csgo playerbase don't buy Operation passes. In playtime per day, Seaside is in third place after Cache and Agency, so it must have a following. Don't forget that the maps were decided by a community vote.


    I'm a bit torn when it comes to the approach they chose for Operation Phoenix. On one hand, it's a bit less exciting when there's no completely new maps but on the other hand I do think there should be room for Operation maps to return and not just be one-offs that get swept aside after the end of each operation. In any case, I think it would be wise if Valve were a bit more transparent and, for example, clearly state that the next op would be returning maps, just so community level designers are on the same page and can plan accordingly.


    Cache should probably get scooped up by Valve after this operation though (and it's creators should receive reasonable compensation).

    Congrats, everyone!


    Do we have a list of the MapCore skins that have made it in? Looks like Pulse is back in this set?


    At first glance, Thurnip's Pulse SG 553 and OniLoLz' AUG Chameleonaire is in. Congratz!

    I got to play all the maps yesterday because I tried to get a new crate drop.. didn't happen but man... you think seaside is bad? You should try cs_downtown and cs_motel (holy labyrinthe uninteresting map)


    These 3 maps don't deserve a spot in my opinion.


    I quite liked the changes made to de_Ali. Good job sir!

    I agree with seaside and downtown, but motel is cool. It's less designed as a game map, and more like throwing a real location into the game. It's like Office made more sense.

     Coudn't have said it better myself. Now were are stuck with 4 months (+ 1-2 extends) with these operation maps.

    Valve has always been bad communicating what they do and they take the easiest, safest route to please majority of the players.

    Blleeeaaarrggh. Weapon skins bore me. Want new maps. Buying anyway because I'm a sucker for community content.


    Valve should just buy Motel, Agency and Thunder to add to the official hostage rotation to beef it out.

    I would recommend that our artists should focus on weapon skins though.


    1. Stickers require a lot of finnicky and detailed artwork.

    2. In general, skins are waaaaay more interesting than stickers.

    3. If your sticker is included in a sticker capsule, you will probably earn far less than if your skin was included in a weapon crate.


    Just sayin'.

    Congrats guys. That's clearly cool for you and your work but I agree with 3Dnj...this pack adds nothing new and it's sad for the guys who worked a lot with the hope to see their map included in a new pack, in this one. I finaly took this one (for you guys ) but for this I clearly hesitated to buy it.

    I dislike those skins.. the new ak as well.


    That's not in any case yet, its just a random one I picked off of the front page of the workshop. Another cool one:

    Now that ak looks neat. Too bad we have to wait half a month for a new case. You guys think Katowice will bring new cases/skins? I hope so.
