This popular CS:GO map brings 1v1 to outer space

While Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's Operation Riptide has some neat new maps to dive into, there are always more popping up from the community that look pretty darn impressive, too. One such fan creation is modder Maui's new 1v1 Spaceship map, which brings the mode to an impressive-looking base out among the stars.


From the images on the mod's page, the CS:GO map looks like a pretty spacious, well, space for battling it out one-against-one. There are futuristic, sleek-looking hallways lit by beams of floor-level light to tear up and down, and use to sneak up on your foe. Then there are workspaces full of obstacles to navigate and use for cover, as well as what look like grander rooms with multiple levels to tackle, and multiple entryways to dash in and out of.


The story behind the map hinges on the CTs having expanded into space, which is throwing a challenge to the terrorists. They've decided to try and take down the space station's central nuclear generator, switching off security and clearing out the place as they go, as the modder explains.

New Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update brings a batch of Riptide map changes

Hot on the heels of Natus Vincere's victory at this year's PGL Stockholm Major, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has got a fresh new update bringing themed autograph capsules, a new music kit, and a batch of changes to two of the FPS game's maps.


The two maps in for a round of adjustments with CS:GO's November 9 patch are Insertion II and Extraction - bomb defusal maps added with the ongoing Operation Riptide. The latter gets the biggest batch of updates, kicking off with various upgrades to its middle zone, both "visually and to gameplay". There's no detail beyond this, but it sounds like it'll look and play better overall. Elsewhere, Valve's added a "powerful self-boost" to mid's T-side, and its cubby is now deeper.


The windows found at the site are now broken into pieces "due to a classic smoke grenade issue" - before the change, players were visible inside smoke when standing near the breakable windows, so that's been addressed. On a similar note, you'll now find more glass is breakable across Extraction.
