CSStats Training Map (CSGOHUB)

CSStats brings all the essential warmup tools into one place: aim lanes, peek practice, surf and bhop sections, bot rush modes, and movement challenges. Based on the popular CSGOHUB concept, it’s now adapted for CS2 and optimized for faster loading and smoother performance. Great for beginners and pros alike.

Crashz’ Crosshair Generator & Viewmodel Generator

If you're tweaking your setup, these two maps are must-haves. The Crosshair Generator lets you preview pro player crosshairs and build your own using detailed customization tools. Meanwhile, the Viewmodel Generator helps you position your gun model exactly how you want it — closer to the center, tilted to the side, or with a tighter field of view.

Recoil Master - Spray Training (CS2)

This map is built to teach you spray control for every weapon. With ghosthair trails, real-time tracking, and toggleable recoil guides, Recoil Master is your best bet for mastering AK or M4 patterns. Perfect for reducing spray panic in clutch situations.

Pool Day

A faithful remake of one of the most beloved CS 1.6 maps. Dive into chaotic close-range fights in a pool-themed arena with fun features like bouncing boards, vent teleporters, and even a hidden switch that transforms the graphics into retro 1.6 style. Perfect for casual matches and nostalgia trips.

Aztec

Another iconic classic brought back to life in CS2. With updated lighting and visuals, Aztec’s jungle ruins, narrow passages, and famous bridge fights are now even more intense. A must-play for fans of old-school Counter-Strike action.

Only Up!

Inspired by the viral game, this vertical map challenges your movement skills. Climb up through a complex structure of platforms, obstacles, and jumps. A great way to practice KZ techniques and build patience as you test your limits.

AWP Lego 2

An iconic map among AWP fans. With colorful Lego blocks and plenty of high and low angles, this map is ideal for sniping duels. It’s fun, fast-paced, and still one of the most played sniper maps on community servers.

AIM Map

A clean and mirrored layout designed for fair 1v1 battles. AIM Map removes distractions and helps players focus purely on reaction time and precision. It’s a great alternative to random arena servers if you want reliable warmups.

Bikinibottom

A SpongeBob-themed masterpiece. Beyond the memes and bright visuals lies a surprisingly well-structured map with unique movement paths and engaging routes. A great option when you want a break from serious gameplay. You can also check out our full review of this map here.

Akiba

Set during a massive tech expo in Tokyo's Akihabara district, Akiba mixes vertical gameplay with stylish environments. As terrorists try to sabotage the event, defenders must cover multiple entry points and fight through complex convention hall layouts. Feels like a spiritual sibling to Vertigo, but even more creative.

Yprac Hub Master

This training hub is a must-have for anyone looking to grind rank or learn utility lineups. It offers pre-fire exercises, grenade practice, and positional drills — all presented with a clean and easy-to-navigate interface. Essential for structured improvement.
