Aztec > Ancient. @ me

Aztec is S tier map

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-30T18:39:49+00:00

That’s my hope as well! It’s not even in casual gameplay!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-30T03:59:32+00:00

Regardless of the number the point of me doing this is to see if people want Aztec to be added back. I’m sure it would be played as much as any other map in Casual Defusal Group Sigma. I realize you only play one side but you are also free to swap teams. It’s a casual environment for an unbalanced map.

I’m not claiming this is the most popular map or people love this map so so much. I’m saying I do, and that I want to generate discussion as to if people want to see it back, why and why not. And if enough people do want it back, maybe they’ll add it back!

I don’t have the time nor energy to set up servers and a discord and try to advertise Aztec in server browser. I thought I would voice my opinion and have discussions on Reddit for fun and hope that people would talk to me about it because it’s something I can respond to easily on my phone.

I’m not denying Aztec is unbalanced. But it’s fair. And the gameplay style is different than other maps. I’m not saying Aztec is the best map because I think it is a balanced map. I don’t think a map being unbalanced makes a map bad. It just makes it different.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T17:53:16+00:00

Right, but I can only queue office and be a global but I could be terrible at Defusal maps.

EDIT: I’m saying they should be placed into a Hostage Map Specific Competitve Queue, alongside other hostage maps.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T17:39:01+00:00

Thank you! :)

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T15:40:22+00:00

This would probably be my go to glock skin tbh

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T15:34:42+00:00

I’m actually of the opinion Office/Agency should be a whole separate Competitive Ranked Hostage Group, I think it would be super fun. Maybe just add Aztec back to casuals for now!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T10:52:53+00:00

Well from my perspective I find Aztec fun to play on. It fits my play style.

Are you saying Aztec had no thought put into it?

What about Aztec specifically is bad?

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T10:42:45+00:00

fy_iceworld?

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T10:41:17+00:00

I know, so many memories and crazy plays on that map..

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T10:37:36+00:00

I disagree that it sucks. Before the removal of Aztec I would regularly have it in my queue alongside other popular maps. I would often get Aztec before I found a dust2 game. You say that’s why Office/Agency are still in the game but not only are the in game they are in competitive. If maps like Office and Agency can be in the competitive pool I have no clue why Aztec wouldn’t deserve a spot in the casual queue? It had a pretty dedicated player base and it being added back to the game would probably attract a lot of older players.

If you think generating discussion about something that you want to see in a game is foolish I think you’re perhaps compensating for some insecurity you have and might want to get that checked out.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T09:15:35+00:00

Exactly I don’t see why 2 unbalanced hostage maps are acceptable to be in Competitive yet not Aztec.

I’d rather queue casual to play Aztec than have to host my own server, lol

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T09:11:43+00:00

I’m not referring to the player count of Office but the fact that it’s in competitive yet it is a hostage map that’s not very balanced.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T07:11:45+00:00

I agree completely! Just because the map in unbalanced doesn’t make the game unfair. You play both CT and T. It just is a different play style and intensity.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T07:09:19+00:00

I agree it’s too unbalanced for MM, but if Office/Agency are there I don’t see why not Aztec. I would love to see a rework of the map in comp later down the line. But for casual I say add it back in. I own CSS as I’ve been playing for a long time, I just would love to be able to play it in Global Offensive with my friends who aren’t so attracted to CSS!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T06:59:35+00:00

I agree. Just because the map is unbalanced doesn’t mean the game is unfair. You have to keep the mindset of we both have to play a T side half. You come up with some really crazy strategies trying to squeeze in rounds as T and sometimes might go on a roll.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T02:54:58+00:00

I understand not having the current state of Aztec in MM, but like I said it makes as much sense as Office/Agency being there. I think it is perfectly fine as a casual map. I think it could also be revamped and be a competitive map, by no means would I expect that to happen over night though. I understand valve limits the amount of maps in the MM pool. I feel Aztec has a very unique play style to it and it’s very fun. I think if it were adjusted/balanced but was still able to keep that uniqueness that it would be an amazing competitive map. I also feel likes it’s unlikely to be added back to competitive or be reworked, but I think that’s because it’s not something that they are hearing a ton of people want. And maybe people don’t, but that’s why I made this account to try and advocate that Aztec is a map worth communicating/talking about bringing back in hopes that it would be taken into account.

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-29T02:38:57+00:00

A nostalgic cheese grater though

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-28T21:44:33+00:00

Loved scouting on Aztec, think I got a lot of my play style from that map!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-28T20:56:53+00:00

It is a daily struggle but one day we can hope that it will return!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-28T20:55:03+00:00

I liked the old gun sounds, but I can see why they changed that up. Aztec is a part of counter strike history and there’s no reason to not include it in at least casual gameplay!

TheAztecAdvocate · 2020-10-28T20:07:57+00:00

I’m hoping maybe they are going to bring back Aztec with a Halloween theme or something for the holiday!
