If the guy here: http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffen...sa_operation_phoenix_ends_in_2_days_june_4th/ can be trusted, then both tuscan and season won't make it into the next Operation.
Which would really be a shame

Wouldn't they have to get Brute's permission to include Toscan? Or did Brute actually finish his GO version of Tuscan?
I thought Tuscan is ready already. Still no season would also suck :/

FUUUUUUUCK. Still need to clock in three hours for gold in Operation Phoenix, but I'm busy with Wildstar. -_-

So basically $2.99 for crown
It's so heart breaking knowing there's some good ass maps like russka, tuscan, fire, comrade, etc that aren't making it in this game yet we get complete garbage like overpass released as an official map. I'm getting bored playing mirage/inf/nuke. Cache is ok
Overpass is great, I don't know what you are talking about.
And it's like get 10$ or so for buying the Operation pass.

I wish more people played Overpass, it seems like it would be good if everyone learned it and the callouts etc. It takes way too long to find a game on. For the next operation I think Crown is a given, but I hope for a lot of new maps not specifically favorites from previous games that will get all the play. One of the things I love about the operations is everyone having a fresh start on learning a new map.

Agreed with Overpass, the few time we played it, it was really fun. Especially since it's a bit of fresh air in the kind of stale pool of CS maps.

So from now on, whenever Valve announces an operation, it'll be safe to assume that the actual end date will be at least two weeks after whatever the given end date is.
Yup, it's basically a given now. I'd say we'll hear something new about the operation in 2-4 weeks.
Just got done playing four games and I didn't have any trouble.

FMPONE Working on a DE-Season Remake
It's looking clean and sleek. I think a few years from now half of the stock competitive maps in CS:GO will be thanks to this guy)Graphically).

awwwww yeeeeah
That Season remakes looks great btw.
Yeah I wish valve temporarily disabled dust2/mirage/nuke/inferno for a week or 2 just to force people to play the newer maps. Overpass is such a legitimate map. Good rotation times, multiple points of entry...everything you want in a competitive map. People just have this mental block when it comes to new maps that aren't played by the pros

That's why I love the Operations so much, especially with the coins needing wins for upgrade it sort of forces activity on the competitive playlists for these new maps. Makes people go outside their comfort zone. Unfortunately Overpass wouldn't be in any new Operations I think, so it'll just wither in the main playlist unchecked
It's not just a problem with CS though, I've been wanting more adoption of new/custom maps in FPSs going back 15 years now. The Operations are the smartest way its been done so far.

Aside from Cache, I really hope Valve adopts Seaside and improves on it. I think it has actual potential as a competitive map.

overpass and cobble is permanently in the competitive list. It's not part of the phoenix operation
You meant to say season, right?

Not at all. I've heard lots of good things about that map though, and I would love to see them add it to an Operation, but I haven't played it. It's a CSS map originally, right? I'd also like to see Tuscan added, which I believe used to be the old CPL mill map (why the name change?). But right now, I'd just like to see Valve add Cache as an official map, and also adopt Seaside, do a lot of work on it, then release it as a official map as well.

The CPL maps keep getting name changes. Mirage, for instance, was Strike.
Personally, I want Cache and Agency to get added. Seaside will probably get added due to its popularity. I'd love it if it gets the Overpass treatment and gets fixed up a bit based on feedback.
questionmark

I can't remember Strike. Aside from Mill, I do believe I vaguely remember another CPL map though. Fire or something? Came out around the same time as Mill, but didn't catch on at all as far as I can remember.

I didn't buy the operation a month ago simply because I figured, eh, less than a month isn't much time, might as well wait it out...

What's with this game today? Is it just me or is there a good amount of lag compared to usual on the competitive severs?

I know, I meant them being in the main competitive pool would lead to them getting played rarely in comparison with dust, nuke, etc. Overpass for a while was in the Operation Bravo playlist for testing purposes.
I really like Seaside, my main complaints used to be the dark spots on B site and the bomb falling into the water. They fixed those so now I think it's a great map.
Agency is also pretty good, but it's the prime example that these new maps should come with standard callout names on their loading screens so people know what's what. I've heard so many different names for the same stuff on Agency.
I think the only one with a chance to get into the official Valve pool is Cache, it's just so overwhelmingly popular.
Edit: I also think Gwalior could have been good competitive wise if given a real chance. It was hard for people to adapt to its vertical layout but I think if given some experience it could have been good.

Seasides biggest issue is mid. I never much liked how you could spot from t-spawn to mid in D2, but Seaside is a million times worse. I'd prefer it if they just shut the mid doors in T house and added a pathway from the truck towards A instead. I also think the map is too small.

So, I know the ranking system is kinda dumb, and no one really knows how it works (right?) because I just ranked down on a win. score was 16-11, and I had the highest points in the game. I was single AK, enemy team had a badge, mg2, and a few 3/4 stars.
How?
How?

I dunno, I've had deranks after single games, two games, five straight losses. I've seen a lot of explainations but they never quite all seem quite right. Just kinda learned to live with a derank here and there.
Sometimes the ranking is delayed by one game. Did you by any chance loose the game before that?
This gets on my nerves so much. I can't seem to get out of Nova 2 on my own anymore, so often I'm stuck with people making wrong calls. Worst ones are people saying "ALL long" or shit like that. I start to rotate and suddenly get killed on mid. Or people yelling at me to come to the other site even though the bomb hasn't been spotted yet. Seriously, people on CT need to chill out. I don't know how often my team lost because someone on CT was rushing.
Just now two examples. We get the bomb down on dust2 mid. I tell everyone and aks them to wait. At this point it's 4v4. I stay with the bomb, while my teammates vontinue to hunt the other team and get picked of one by one. I manage to hold of 2 in a 1v4 but eventually get taken down from two sides.
Or even worse, the bomb is down on b, I tell everyone but noone listens. In the end it's a 1v1, me on B and the other guy on A where he killed a teammate. Everybody bitches and tells me to go A, go A, untill i tell them AGAIn I'm guarding the bomb on B...
And don't get me started on people buying SMGs without armor against fully equipped guys.
