what are custom maps?
There are thousands upon thousands of custom maps available for download on the internet. There are many basic types of maps in Counter-Strike: cs_* (hostage rescue maps), de_* (bomb/defuse maps), as_* (assassinate maps), es_* (escape maps), and other types like fy_* (“fun” maps), aim_* (to practice aiming), and awp_* (strictly AWM/P maps).

Some of the maps have objectives, while others are designed purely to eliminate the enemy in a shoot ‘em up style deathmatch. Still, some others are designed purely to sharpen your skills.
