Absurd Minds

I just watches Adren's video on the revamped train and while I have not played it, it looks amazing. Train is one of the most over-CT sided maps and it became boring to watch teams get slaughtered by Auto-Snipers half way across map.

Pros of the new map:

No more "head-glitching" on any of the ramps due to everything being multi-layered and flat.
Windows you can throw smokes and flashes out of.
The removal of the 5 Train lane which gave CTs a major advantage in 1.6
Clean layout like the revamped Season and designed for competitve play
Removal of T side sniper (thank god I can call out sniper tower again without a massive confusion)
There is a wall to protect terrorists after you come down ladder
The map is gorgeous

Neutral
Terrorists cant hide under trains as now the trains touch the floor. (However, this also means you won't get auto-sniped from a camper in the zed hallways)

Cons
Having 1 sniper spot again is cool, but I don't like how it's on the CT side)

I can't really say anything more than that because I haven't played it and these are only my first impressions. I love how Valve still cares about the pro scene and is actively making the game better.

They also nerfed the Cz, made the deagle $700, and made the colt $3100. I want to marry gabe. <3

Tell me your thoughts below!

played train all night and its one of my new favorite maps. I love what they did to it. I think its necessary after you play the map to have the heaven on ct side.

Can we have a rule where we don't use this stupid term? It's not glitching anything, its playing strategically so the enemy has the smallest target to shoot at.
huehuehuehue

I'm excited to give this map a try today. This is a valve remake?

I would love this. I get enraged anytime I see someone in the servers mention head glitching. It literally shouldn't be a term as its playing counter strike correctly.

But it's still competitively inviable to have a map where one team can attack the other without the other being able to see the first because only the tip of their head is showing. Yeah, the term might be dumb, but the sentiment is appropriate.

I agree that there were some cheap spots you could hide, but if we have to change every map because someone can hide with only their head showing then we have to change every map in existence. I think the changes made to train are very well thought out and much more competitive.

That's exactly why I put the term in quotes Thank you so much for explaining this.

I do think it's a dumb term from a dumb game but the fact that I can get shot when only the top of your head is out is dumb. If I can't see your gun, why should you be able to shoot me?

I hold my gun right on the top of my head, strapped to my helmet.

I want to upboat this!

I love the changes made

...except the skin

Valve can declutter all they want but whenever they change the skin it looks much worse

I liked the original skins of mirage, cache, season and now train
Overall I think it's better and looks much for fun and interesting

Ps I'll miss my T heaven rafter lurk spot
