7 CS:GO Maps In Real Life


Have you ever wondered if Counter-Strike maps were inspired by real locations?

I have, so I did a little research and found out that some of CS maps are based on locations that really exist.

Check them out and tell me what is your favorite CS:GO map!

    The one that’s obviously in Italy, isn’t in Italy. Have you done some research? First google hits shows that it’s in Norway. But you edited away the Norwegian flags. Lol.

    actually… Predjama Castle is de_castle on CS:GO. Cobblestone have literally nothing to do with it. Cobblestone is not on caves and de_castle is. And there are even places there that are exactly like real life. Just check this 3kliksphilip’s video https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DD6subWa8hq0&psig=AOvVaw1pU_eTnZ-BXz3HSrd-LtuT&ust=1596621383731000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CA0QjhxqFwoTCPjmqKekgesCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAV

      Thanks for the comment Ersin!

      Maybe in previous Counter-Strike games the map was called “Castle”, but in CS:GO it is Cobblestone, I played on it 😀

        I just checked, it seems that the map was called de_castle in Counter-Strike: Source

          OMG no, Castle and cobble stone are different maps.

          Castle (de_castle) is from operation breakout. And this map is based on Predjamski Castle

          Cobblestone (in cs source it was “cbble”) is totaly different map, and that map is NOT based on Predjamski Castle
