Dust 2

Dust 2 brings the classic desert layout into CSBrowser: narrow doorways, long sightlines, stepped approaches and two levels of tunnels. The map uses imported original geometry, textures, baked lighting and sky rather than an approximate block-built remake. The weapons, characters and team-deathmatch rules are those of CSBrowser, not a recreation of the original game engine.

From the T-side starting area, Long A leads through the long doors toward the open A approach. Short A climbs the catwalk and stairs, while mid links the central doors to the CT-side junction. On the other side, the upper B tunnels connect to B and the lower tunnels return toward mid. Height matters: players directly above or below one another are not necessarily on the same route.

Choose Play now above to find or create a Dust 2 match, or create a room in the shared lobby and invite friends. Matches support up to eight players, with bots filling open slots. Eliminated players respawn under the existing team-deathmatch rules; kills and the round timer decide the result. The BL team starts on the original T side and GR on the CT side. You can still select Cargo Ship in the lobby; the homepage continues to default to that map.

• Long A rewards patient crosshair placement. Check the doorway and pit before crossing the open approach; a familiar map does not make exposed ground safe.
• On Short A, clear the stair landing before climbing. The view changes with elevation, and a wall that protects your feet may leave your upper body visible.
• Use mid to rotate between routes, but check the doors before crossing. A route through the lower tunnels is different from the upper B approach.
• Learn the routes with bots, then use a friend room to coordinate angles. Original map collision is used for movement, but weapon handling and damage follow CSBrowser rules.
