What are community maps in CS2?

Why play Workshop Maps?

Many community maps are created for specific purposes. For example, some of the most famous serve for aiming and movement training, or even warming up.

There are also many fun maps to play, with unique challenges that don’t necessarily involve shooting bullets. Additionally, the community brings classic maps from old versions of CS which are not available in CS2 such as Mirage from CS:GO, Dust2 from CS 1.6 and the iconic fy_pool_day, a craze in internet cafes at the beginning of the century.

Furthermore, it is a great choice when the internet is not working, but the player wants to play Counter-Strike. In this case, you will have to play with bots.
