Cobblestone Callouts: Map Overview

Table of Contents

For almost 10 years, CS:GO fans have participated in the epic confrontation between special forces and Terrorists. During this time, a variety of maps with custom modes and tasks were released. Some of them gained real popularity. They were and still are in demand in the majors. 

Cobblestone CS:GO map became one of the most famous maps of its time. It was unique not only for its visuals but also for the skins that came with it. AWP | Dragon Lore turned out to be especially valuable, and became the real target of the hunt.

Callouts in Brief

Team play is always successful if there is clear communication and interaction between players. Clear communication of positions can be a decisive factor. To ensure that all players understand what they are talking about, there are callouts defining the location. 

Some close-knit teams that play in a permanent lineup even come up with some coding to convey information not only about the location but also the events that take place there. 

Every map, including Cobblestone CS:GO, has callouts. To get the most out of them, it’s a good idea to learn them by heart or use Radar, which is not banned by Valve. Experienced gamers know Mirage callouts and other maps by heart to report important events at a particular location.

Cobblestone: Map Overview

Not only the map is unique, but also its history and storyline. The map was created by a real pro, not an ordinary amateur. It was David Johnston, a Brit, who presented Dust earlier. The first attempt was unsuccessful, but after refinement it appeared in Counter-Strike BETA 6.5. The final version came out in the Global Offensive version and later became an integral part of most majors. According to statistics, every second game was played on it.

The storyline unfolds in France, in the castle of Lord William. It covers a huge area. It is more extensive than most other maps. After the updates, there were more medieval buildings, and the castle itself stands out from the other buildings. 

There is a confrontation between the Phoenix Terrorist team led by Chase Turner and the GIGN special forces of the French Gendarmerie. The task of the Terrorists is to blow up the castle, and the task of the special forces is to prevent this mission. 

At some point, Valve removed Cobblestone for revision and players waited for improvements, as the developer usually does. In this case, however, the company released an unsuccessful version that was not welcomed by the community. Previously Cobblestone T or CT had an equal advantage, but now they removed almost all shelters from point A, which made it impossible to set the bomb and protect it. 

As a result, Cobblestone was taken out of the majors as well, since the balance of power was disrupted and the map was no longer used in matches.
