These maps are iconic Counter Strike maps, whether they come from 1.6 or Source. While they aren’t in the competitive rotation any more, they still hold a special place in the hearts of the players and are back in the more fun game modes.
While only a handful of maps, including Dust II, Mirage, Overpass, and Nuke were in the limited test, Inferno and Ancient were added to the limited test recently, so we should expect to have the full map suite for competitive at launch.
