In this review, we have prepared for you the most popular cards for cs 1.6 in the amount of 120 pieces, which over the years of their existence have managed to gain popularity and even become legends. I would immediately like to draw your attention to the fact that this list does not include maps that are already included in the standard installation package of the Counter-Strike 1.6 game itself.
Installation is quite simple:
- Run the downloaded installer;
- Select the folder with CS 1.6 (exactly the directory in which hl.exe is located);
- Install.
If the cards do not appear, then do the same procedure in any empty folder, and then move the files unpacked into it to the folder with CS 1.6.
The game Construction Strike would be quite boring if only a few maps and a couple of game modes were available to us. It is for this reason that various options already well-known cards and completely new ones that are gaining popularity among ordinary players and professionals. It is about cards that we will talk today.
Types of play in Counter-Strike
In total, there are 4 main game types in the game, which depend on the selected card.
- Rescue the hostages. The special forces have a task - to save hostages or destroy a team of terrorists. A certain time is allotted for this task, during which the task must be completed. To save the hostages, you need to call them along by pressing the “E” button. The withdrawal is carried out to special zones with a mark on the floor. The terrorists must interfere with all their might so that their opponents do not take the hostages out. The first maps of this type were: cs_prison, cs_mansion and the famous cs_siege. Today you can also download these versions.
- Mining or neutralization. A popular version of maps in which terrorists must manage to plant a bomb in certain places or destroy the enemy team. The bomb can be dropped, like a weapon, which allows any player to pick it up and subsequently plant it. Special forces must prevent the planting of a bomb or destroy opponents. You can also neutralize the charge by performing certain actions. Planting a bomb takes 3 seconds, clearing mines without tools takes 11 seconds, clearing mines with tools takes 6 seconds. The most famous and first maps are de_nuke, de_aztec and de_dust.
- Kill Vip. Downloading maps of this type is not easy, primarily due to the fact that in recent years this type has lost its popularity. A new unit appears in the special forces team - VIP, which must be saved in a special zone. This unit cannot purchase equipment or weapons, but has 200 armor and a USP pistol with minimal ammo. No helmet, no grenades. Terrorists must prevent the rescue by destroying the VIP or the entire enemy team. Initially, only one card of this type, as_oilrig, was available, then the range expanded.
- The escape. The least popular type of game in which terrorists must escape to a specific sector. The special forces must stop them by destroying at least half of the enemy team. Last card, which lasted for official assembly— es_trinity.
Now about cards from enthusiasts and fans
The most ordinary fans of the game expanded the rather meager supply of official cards, creating the following options:
- aim - cards designed for training in shooting with sniper rifles at a great distance;
- as - cards like kill VIP;
- awp - you can only use AWP or Scout;
- bh, bhop - cards designed for mastering jumping;
- de - planting and defusing a bomb;
- cs - hostage rescue;
- dm - very popular in Lately a type of map where the player does not wait for the end of the round, but appears at respawn or randomly throughout the map. These maps have many different submodes where you can install guns, health dispensers, use new weapons, etc.
This is just a part of the varieties of cards that are presented in a wide range on our website.
Mini cards
Before downloading these maps, beginners often wonder what mini maps are, with the name of famous maps. In fact, everything is simple here, it's famous maps, which are shortened and look like small locations. The most popular maps are: cs_mini_militia, cs_assault_mini, aim_2stories and others.
Features of cards
Each map has its own peculiarity and this concerns not so much some secrets or Easter eggs, but strategies for playing on it. In many ways, the cards determine the main set of weapons for the player. For example, if the map is small and with a high density of players, it is worth using rapid-fire weapons. If the maps have long sections, such as corridors, then it is worth using a sniper weapon or combining it with other arsenal options.
It is also necessary to take into account the topography of the map and the placement of various boxes, corners, equipment and other things on it. All this will allow you to become the “king” of the map, unexpectedly killing your opponents.
Maps for CS 1.6- this is one of the main components of the game, and is a description of the area or object on which all the main buildings, structures, and natural objects in the form of rivers, lakes or mountains are located.
Like any multiplayer game, Counter-Strike 1.6 also has its own maps and locations. You can select a map in CS before starting the level. It is on the selected CS map that all further actions and battles between teams will take place.
Types of maps for CS 1.6
There are a huge number of types of maps for CS - these can be maps where the main task for players playing as special forces is to successfully free hostages. On another type of map for Counter-Strike 1.6, the main task is to defuse a bomb, so the task of terrorists is to prevent the explosive device from being defused. There are also maps for CS 1.6 where you can only use a certain type of weapon, say, only pistols or only melee weapons.
Some people like CS maps with many different buildings and passages, while others prefer maps where there are practically no structures, and the enemy is in the palm of your hand. Here, only your speed and accuracy will play a key role in victory.
Such huge selection different kinds of maps for CS explained different tastes and player preferences. The more maps there are for Counter-Strike 1.6, the more likely it is that a gamer will choose a map where he will feel like a fish out of water.
Imagine there are only two or three CS maps. Naturally, anyone will get tired of playing in the same locations, and the game will quickly become bland and not of much interest. And a large number of maps for CS provide a choice. After all, each card has some unique peculiarity that sets it apart from other, seemingly similar cards.
Classic maps for Counter-Strike 1.6
There are a number of maps for Counter-Strike 1.6 that have become classics. True connoisseurs CS 1.6 treats them with warmth and memories of the times when I spent days and nights playing CS in gaming computer clubs. Such maps undoubtedly include de_dust2, cs_assault, de_aztec and a dozen more good old CS maps that everyone has played.

This is changing quite quickly, as Valve has recently committed to constantly adjusting the balance in order to encourage players to learn something new in their favorite game. However, this applies to a greater extent to the competitive discipline. For casual players, classic Counter-Strike maps remain imperishable even after many years. We recall the stories of the five most popular casual maps of the Counter-Strike 1.6 era, without which the legendary 3D shooter would have been much worse.
cs_747
Map cs_747, on which the plot takes place at a night airport, where terrorists captured
multiple civilian hostages has long been one of the most unusual in the game. The main events took place in the unusually confined space of the aircraft cabin.
The map was frankly cramped, and the gameplay was reminiscent of completing missions in Rainbow 6 or Soldier of Fortune. However, this did not hinder her popularity. On the contrary, visitors to Internet cafes and computer clubs all over the world they happily fought with each other among the passenger seats and in the cargo compartments of the airliner. And the more people there were on the server, the better!
Visitors to Internet cafes and computer clubs around the world happily hacked at each other among the passenger seats of the airliner.
It is noteworthy that the development of the map began Leon Neuvoudt in 1999: a mapmaker from South Africa assembled that same airliner alone, but he didn’t have enough strength for the rest of the map. Picked up the baton Stephen Superville, which significantly redesigned the cabin interior and created an airport location. During optimization, however, it was necessary to sacrifice the aircraft’s engines, which actually rotated in the original model.
By the way, cs_747 for a long time was the only map on which there were more than four hostages. The victims of terrorists were indicated in a special “hood”, which in CS 1.6 could only accommodate four objects. In a word, the developers' imagination did not fit into the technical framework of the game.
cs_militia
Another popular map where police had to free hostages was cs_militia. Few people know, but the villa that the police are trying to storm in this location is based on the hacienda of one of the Counter-Strike developers Jessa Cliffa. The creators even brought Cliff’s favorite jacuzzi into the game, in which everyone could wet their feet.
At the same time, the task of rescuing hostages on this map was indeed very difficult. Firstly, the terrorists had excellent positions to hold the mansion. Secondly, even having reached the civilians, the special forces simply could not take them to a safe place, say, through the same sewer. Not the smartest artificial intelligence refused to recognize doors, much less stairs.
The terrorists had excellent positions to hold the mansion, and even when they reached the civilians, the special forces simply could not take them to safety.
The map was notable for the presence of video cameras that helped terrorists control approaches to the house, and also had the function of turning on and off the lights in the sewer tunnel.
Also, cs_militia went down in history as the first map in Counter-Strike on which you can find advertising for a real-life brand. The Beck's Brewery logo can be found inside the house.
cs_italy
The cs_italy map, which transports players to the streets of a small provincial town in Italy, was created by two clan members Glen Cooper and Jason Green. According to legend, several hostages are being held in a small house who must be rescued by a local special forces unit.
The location was created using unique and recognizable textures of Italian rural houses with terracotta roofs. The atmosphere of the map is added by a small village market, where chickens run, which have become legendary for all fans of the game, as well as real player radio.
However, it quickly became clear that the developers made several funny mistakes. Firstly, the music playing from the radio is not Italian, but Spanish - its author is guitarist Agustin Castellon-Campos, known under the pseudonym Sabicas. The title of the composition can be translated as “Andalusian reflection”. That is, no connection with Italy.
Secondly, despite the fact that in the script the battle between terrorists and special forces takes place somewhere in Europe, the painted sockets in the captured house are clearly of North American origin. However, we will leave the question of how much time you need to spend on this map to start looking at the sockets to practicing psychiatrists.
cs_mansion
The map cs_mansion is not called by Russian-speaking fans of Counter-Strike 1.6: “manison”, “manison” and even “mansion”. She was created Magnus Lind even for beta version 1.0, and was probably the very first map in CS, but in early versions it was either modified or removed altogether.
As a legacy from the old days of early mapmaking, the map inherited terribly primitive textures, especially for the sky, as well as a complete lack of any balance. Not surprisingly, many remakes of this map appeared later, in particular the very popular cs_estate.
The cs_mansion map had terribly primitive textures, as well as a complete lack of any balance.
What makes cs_mansion interesting, in particular, is that each room of the house captured by terrorists had its own switch for lighting, and video cameras to monitor the situation finally went not to criminals, but to special forces.
cs_assault
Well, the most favorite map in Counter-Strike of all times is undoubtedly cs_assault. Map by author Lari Muuriasmeni allowed players to fight on the spacious streets of a real city, as well as use tall buildings and even a road bridge to find good sniper positions.
According to the scenario, terrorists hold three hostages in a huge warehouse. Police can attack a building through three entrances: the main door, the back door, and through the ventilation. However, they can carry out a successful operation only with a numerical superiority or a higher level of skill, since the defending side has a great advantage.
On this one, without exaggeration great map There were also some blunders. For example, the sign with the address of the warehouse, which hangs near the main entrance, had a grammatical error in CS 1.6: it would be correct to write “72nd Street” instead of “72nd Street”.
Much more annoying, at least for the special forces, was a significant bug, thanks to which terrorists could almost instantly find themselves on the roof, literally, passing through the texture. To do this, in the corner of the building, one player had to pick up another and, as it were, push him up through the roof. For the police officers running to attack, this was a very big surprise.
The wildly popular card couldn't escape cloning. Over the years, new locations based on classic card such as the night cs_assault2k or the winter cs_assault_santa, and also, of course, cs_delta_assault, which now has the ability to lower and raise the main gate.
For the legendary multiplayer network game“Counter-Strike 1.6” has been created by amateurs and fans of the game game cards which are intended for different types competitions, differ in size, interiors, and other technical features. There is a fairly detailed classification of maps, which divides locations into a large number of types depending on the behavioral model of the game. And for proper installation of cards, we recommend that you read our article -
Abbreviation for cards
- "DE"- there are explosive devices on the map that a team of terrorists must find and hold the defense around them until the explosion occurs. Accordingly, special forces should prevent an explosion.
- "SURF"- very popular maps lately, on which inclined surfaces are modeled at an angle that forces the player to slide along the plane, thereby complicating the game process.
- "ZM,ZE"- original game process on these maps ensures that at a certain point in the game a zombie character (one or more) appears, who tries to infect other players. A game round can be considered over when all uninfected players reach the rescue zone.
- "KZ"- the only peaceful type of Counter-Strike maps, on such maps you do not need to commit kills, the goal of the game is to overcome a rather difficult obstacle course. It is good to use cards when teaching new players the physical model of the game. It is possible to conduct competitions on the speed of movement.
- "ES"- a map without a weapon magazine, teams play “catch-up” with each other. The escaping team must reach the rescue zone, otherwise they will be eliminated and the players will switch roles.
- "CS"- a classic group of cards that fully justifies the names of the enemy sides. Terrorists are holding a group of hostages in a certain room; special forces soldiers have to save them.
- "AIM"- maps from the “run and gun” series, both teams do not complete certain tasks, the goal of the map scenario is to leave at least one player of your team alive. There is no weapons store; weapons are scattered randomly throughout the location.
- "AS"- the scenario of this map is fascinating and complex. Unlike the hostage map, where the people being held are kept motionless and in one room, here special forces escort a certain person to the rescue point, and the terrorists must try to destroy him. Mostly on such maps there are castles, cities and fortresses, or large vehicles.
- "FUN" - special kind maps where you can fool around a little and take a break from serious firefights. Usually these are locations made of glass and other non-standard materials, with limited unfenced space, often made based on famous films and works.
- "FY"- on such maps the most brutal battles are fought with limited ammunition. There are practically no buildings here; the competition is held in open areas.
