The best CS:GO custom maps

cs_motel

It's a novelty map, but in lieu of a worthy, ridiculous successor to de_rats ( de_rats_ol_shack for CS:GO hasn't impressed me), Motel has been a huge hit on our server, and our go-to for unserious Counter-Striking. Two floors of cramped bedrooms open out into a parking lot and small swimming pool. Four hostages spawn randomly in the rooms, and most rounds play out like hide-and-seek. The Terrorists have an incentive to camp the rooms that hostages spawn in, but this is mitigated slightly by hostages only appearing on the CTs' radar. I also like that Motel makes shotguns preferable to rifles and SMGs.
