The best CS:GO custom maps
cs_museum
Museum is GO's most gorgeous map. Outside, stone arches overlook a street entrance lined with gardens. Inside, golden light filters through an atrium onto carpeted stairs, a T-rex skeleton, and scaffolding. Creator Shawn “FMPONE” Snelling called upon fellow modders to build custom assets for the map, and the extra help is evident in every corner.
In the nearly 50 rounds I've played so far, Museum has favored the Terrorists. Raised windows, scaffolding, and an elevator shaft give the Ts some great vantage points for getting the drop on the CT assaulters who spawn outdoors.
Snelling wrote a terrific explanation of his design decisions on Museum (and the research that informed them) for Mapcore.org .
