So, the new de_dust2 has been out for some time. And I must admit I have had a fine experience so far. While the new design is mostly cosmetic, the gameplay or layout of the map has been kept identical to previous iterations.
I understand why nothing really has been changed, dust2 is the most played map in the game, and the fans might not agree with major changes. I think a bit of shake up would benefit the map in the competitive scene but never the less.
While most common strategy still is viable we all have to learn to throw smokes, flashes and molotovs all over again. But don't fear the developers have been kind in the new dust2!
So today I thought I shared a quick smoke to block off CT spawn when doing a split b or mid-to-b take on T side Dust2!
First things first, like the old edition of dust2 place yourself in the corner behind xbox in mid.
Next pull out your smoke and aim for the spot as shown below. The wall has a redish brown spot if you can't make it out from the picture.
Now do a normal throw (no running or jumping).
And voila! now you can safely push out mid doors and not get peaked by players in CT spawn.
Just remember to be check the corner of the smoke and above the smoke since Valve desided to make the opening to CT spawn large enough to see through at the very edge. Also jumping onto the boxes in CT spawn is easier and you can spot the doors and window into b.
I hope you all are having fun with the newly redesigned Dust2 and thanks for reading!
