Prominent Counter-Strike map developer FMPONE has shared some fresh insights on the new and updated version of the iconic map Cache ported to the Source 2 engine, and the CS2 community is hyped to see the revamped design and lots of notable improvements that the map seemingly has to offer.
Despite nearly a year having passed since its release, Counter-Strike 2 has yet to reintroduce many of the iconic maps from its predecessors, CS 1.6 and CS:GO. Fans have been vocal in their demands for the return of classics like Aztec and Tuscan, but one map stands out above the rest in popular demand: Cache.
Cache has been a part of CS:GO’s Active Duty map pool for a significant time since its initial release in 2012. While the map was removed and replaced by Vertigo towards the end of 2019, CS:GO players were still able to enjoy the map in Casual, Deathmatch, and Competitive matchmaking.
To call Cache a fan-favorite map within the Counter-Strike community would be an understatement. Cache’s map design offered a high skill ceiling, fostering intense gameplay and strategic team coordination. It also featured iconic boost spots, such as the Mid boost, A-site boost, and B-Vent counter-boost, encouraging teamwork and adding depth to competitive play.
FMPONE Reveals New Look For Cache in CS2
In a recent X post, the map developer behind Cache, FMPONE, shared some updated screenshots of the new version of the map in CS2. From the initial looks at it, the map looks absolutely stunning, showcasing a fresh and impressive visual overhaul.
While not much of the map has been revealed at the time of writing, the screenshots posted by FMPONE showcase the B-Checkers area alongside the Garage section.
An interesting addition to the Checkers area is that the wall separating it from Mid Sandbags has been replaced by glass panels. This means that players on the B-site should now be able to wall bang through it to Mid and vice versa, which was confirmed by the map dev himself.
Unfortunately, despite these updates coming to light, we still don’t have an exact date on the addition of the new Cache to CS2. However, the excitement within the CS2 community is palpable, and it may not be long before Valve decides to reintroduce the map to the pool once again.
